Other Fun Wins

Lake Minnetonka Kennel Club, Jordan, MN, Sunday June 12, 2011

Happy GRAND CHAMPION to me, Happy GRAND CHAMPION to me. Oh ya, I did it! Prissy Missi doesn’t have anything over me now, I am a GRAND CHAMPION!

Lake Minnetonka Kennel Club, Jordan, MN, Saturday June 11, 2011

Wow!! I got my second major today!! It was a large entry of very beautiful Havanese, large enough for me to get a 4 point major! Thank you Mr. Steve Hayden, I really enjoyed your ring today. Now I only need one more major for my new GRAND title. Tomorrow?

Corn Belt Kennel Club, Bloomington, IL, Monday May 30, 2011

Oh ya, I still have it and I can strut my stuff! I have the gait, the Havanese gait and just love to show it off. I took out Little Bee today, yea!!! I got select but still no major win, ugh!

Illinois Valley Kennel Club of Peoria, Bloomington, IL, Friday May 27, 2011

Well my luck is back! I got select today but no major win. I NEED A MAJOR!! Two of them to be specific.

Badger Kennel Club, Jefferson, WI, Friday/Saturday/Sunday May 6-8, 2011

I’m totally pointed out now for my Grand Champion points. Oh my, I need two majors now! The easy part is all done. I did really well on Friday; I got another point with a Select win. Saturday was a bust and Prissi Missi thought she was really big stuff taking me out. I had to walk out of the ring without a ribbon! Sunday I got even though. Prissi Missi was a little too big for her pants, I took her out for two more points and guess what, I gave Mom her Mother’s Day present this year. I gave her a winning Ribbon! YEA!!

Heart of Iowa Kennel Club, Marshalltown, IA, Saturday/Sunday April 30-May 1, 2011

I guess I got a big head taking Messy Missi out both days last weekend. She got even with me, I got Select both days this weekend. Oh well, I picked up 3 more points and there is always next weekend!

Waterloo Kennel Club, Waterloo, IA, Saturday/Sunday April 23-24, 2011

Wow my string of wins hasn’t stopped! I just love to show especially when I win and even better when I beat Missi! Oh ya, I took Missi out both days. I took Select for another point on Saturday but Sunday there wasn’t enough girls for me to get any points. I still beat Missi though! I think I might let her win next week just to make her feel better. She’s kinda moping around.

Kennel Club of Yorkville, Dekalb, IL, Saturday/Sunday April 9-10, 2011

I just keep rolling! Wow, I took Missi out on Saturday for Best of Opposite and a 3 point major! Thank you Mr Edd E Bivin! I told Missi that I was going to beat her and I did on Saturday at least. I guess I got too big for my britches; Missi came back on Sunday and took me out. Oh well, I got 2 more points on Sunday and I can call it a good weekend.

Clinton Iowa Kennel Club, DeWitt, IA, Saturday/Sunday April 2-3, 2011

I’m on a roll! I took Select both days and picked up two more points. Wow! Saturday was a bad day though. Mom spent too much time grooming other Havanese and I didn’t like that. I told Mom about it too. I let her know that I don’t like her touching other Havanese! I get jealous. I went into the ring and that Prissi Missi took me out! Sunday was a little better, Mom gave me all her attention and I loved it! Prissi Missi took me out again, ugh. I told Missi to get ready for next weekend, I’m going to take her out.

Dubuque Kennel Club, Dubuque, IA, Saturday March 26, 2011

Wow! I competed with some very nice boys and girls today. It was so much fun to be back in the ring after a long cold winter. I told Missi to move over that I have a new title to work on now, my Grand Champion! I told her that I was going to beat her today and I did! Prissi Missi was not very happy about it either. He He! I had to step it up though now that I’m in the big ring with the big dogs. I walked perfect for Mom and held my head high. It paid off too. I got Select girl for another 2 points and another Champion defeated. Wow!

Sioux Empire Kennel Club, Sioux Falls, SD, Saturday/Sunday October 30-31, 2010

It was my first weekend out as a special and it was very special for me. Saturday I didn’t perform well. I wanted to play with Bee and I pulled too much. Mom told me I blew it and I had to pay attention to her. This was very serious stuff now. And yes Bee took me out on Saturday and I got Select for 2 points. On Sunday, I took it seriously. I wasn’t going to let Bee beat me! I performed very well and it paid off. I got Best of Opposite for 2 more points and 1 Champion defeated toward my Grand title. Yea!!

Sandemac Kennel Club, Springfield, IL, Saturday October 23, 2010

Mom told me that there was a major in Springfield and I told Mom that it was all mine! I said that I was going down there and getting my last major. I was tired of dragging this champion title thing out. Let’s get this over! I was also tired of that prissy Missi giving me grief over not having a title. So guess what, I went in the ring and won my class, and then I won Winners. I so happy! I thought that I got that major but Mom informed me that someone pulled their girl and it was not a major. BARF! She told me that I had to beat the boy to get the major so the pressure was on. He was a really handsome boy and kept looking at me so I had to really strut my stuff. I had to win the judge and impress the handsome boy so I really worked hard at looking good. I took Best of Winners for a 4 point major! YEA!!! I have my title now.

CH Hapi

Mason City Kennel Club, Mason City, IA, Saturday/Sunday October 16-17, 2010

The good luck kisses worked! I gave Mom kisses and more kisses before we went into the ring both days and I won both days. I’m really on a role! It was a very nice line up of Havanese this weekend and any one of us deserved to win so I went in the ring and strutted my stuff like I never have before. I got Winners Girl both days! Yea! It was a major both days for the boys but the judge didn’t give me Best of Winners so I couldn’t get the major that I so desperately need. Growl! Oh well, there is always next weekend and it is a major for the girls and I’m going in the ring and getting it. So check back next week!

Wright County Minnesota Kennel Club, Hutchinson, MN, Sunday October 10, 2010

I won again! WOW, I’m on a role! I figured out the trick, I have to give Mom kisses and more kisses before we go into the ring. It just calms me and Mom. We both like kisses. I strutted my stuff and really worked hard in the ring. It paid off too, I got another point! I’ve almost got my Champion title. Next week I’ll have to give Mom kisses and more kisses for good luck!

Toy Dog Club of Central Arkansas, Hot Springs Nat’l Park, AR, Friday October 1, 2010

Greater DeKalb Kennel Club, DeKalb, IL, Sunday July 11, 2010

Yesterday was a terrible day in the office! Politics! Well that’s all I’m going to say about that. Today, I came back and took care of Family Business! Oh ya, I took out some really nice girls and a professional handler to boot! I cleared the path for Missi to take breed which she did and deserved the win, she was beautiful. I took Best of Winners for another point. Yea!! Dynamite comes in small packages. It was just another day in the office, he he!

Hawkeye Kennel Club, Iowa City, IA, Sunday June 27, 2010

I’m so happy today!! I took out that prissy Missi for Best of Opposite. Oh yea, the judge just loved me! I got another point! I also got a lot of cheese, I just love cheese.

Coeur d’Alene Dog Fanciers, Coeur d’Alene, ID, Monday May 31, 2010

North Star Toy Dog Club Specialty, St Paul, MN, Friday, January 8, 2010

Oh my, the lovely judge just loved me! She gave me Winners Girl today. Mom made a big mistake though; she gave me to a very good friend to show me for breed so that Mom could show yoR. I wanted my Mom to show me! I pouted the whole time. I didn’t walk, stack, or do nothing but try to get to Mom and yoR. When I was taking my picture with the lovely judge, she told Mom that I was the best thing she has seen in a long time. It was very refreshing to see a girl that reminded her of the original Havanese (that comes from biological Dad, Fire). She also told Mom that she should have shown me for breed because she was considering me for Breed! I was so upset with Mom I didn’t forgive her until that night when we went to bed. I gave her kiss and told her that I loved her. I also told her, DON’T MAKE THAT MISTAKE AGAIN!!!

Rapid City Kennel Club, Rapid City, SD, October 16, 2009

My Mom finally figured out that I like cheese. I will perform for cheese! Any kind will do but I really like string cheese. I strut my stuff for that cheese. I walked so good that I got Winners girls today for my first major, a 3 pointer!!! The judge told Mom that I have ‘The’ Havanese gait!!!! When you got it, you got it!!  Mom didn’t tell him that it was the cheese so we will keep that one a secret, he he.

Havanese Club of America National Specialty, Lombard, IL, August 21-22, 2009

Oh my, the competition was tuff! Just about every Havanese show dog in the country was there! Wow, so many and all were marked and colored differently. The rainbow was shining in Chicagoland this weekend. When it came time for the breed competition the ring was absolutely full of Havanese and handlers. Mr, Bivin split them all up into groups of 5 so that he could see all of them. It was so much fun. I made so many new friends and got to see old friends. I got to see my breeder Mom. She was so excited to see me show. I was really nervous in the ring, it was the first time I have been judged by Mr, Bivin and I was afraid of what he might think of me. He must have liked me, I got second in my class, wow, that is really good for a National Specialty!

Kennel Club of Freeborn County, Albert Lea, MN, Sunday August 9, 2009

Oh my, I think Missi jinxed me. She told me that she was giving me Bee’s Reserve crown that she wasn’t going to take it and that she was going to finish her Champion Title fast so that she didn’t have to take it. Well, guess what, I got Reserve today to a 4 point major. Mom and I have been working on my stacking and my table manners. It really paid off for us. I was so happy.  I got a nice ribbon. Mom was so happy for me, I just love seeing her smile and take my ribbon but I refuse to take Bee’s Reserve crown! Bee will just have to find someone else to take it because I feel a really big win coming my way!

Coulee Kennel Club, La Crosse, WI, Sunday August 2, 2009

I got Reserve Winners Girl Today!! Bee gets upset when she gets reserve since she has so many of them but I was so excited! I took out Bee and a bunch of other really nice girls. It was a 3 point major reserve! Mom was so proud of me, she told me that I performed the best. My Jr. Handler friend, Melissa, told me that I looked as if I owned the ring. I was so happy that I talked Mom into a picture.

Duluth Kennel Club, Duluth, MN, IA, Friday July 10, 2009

I’m really getting the hang of this show stuff. I really like it and I just love my Mom showing me. I do really good when I’m in the ring without Missi around. She likes to trick me into playing so that I loose to her. Well she did it again today. She beat me! I got reserve to Prissy Missi!

Central Iowa Kennel Club, Des Moines, IA, Sunday January 18, 2009

I showed really wonderful today; well I guess it was ok. I was so excited to be back in the ring. Winter is really slow for shows and I don’t get to show much during the winter. I WANT SPRING!! I was so excited that I forgot to walk next to Dad on my down and back. I was pulling away from him. I think that is what blew it for me. I did get second in my class over a couple of really nice gals so I didn’t blow it completely.

Kankakee River Valley Kennel Club, Kankakee, IL, Saturday November 29, 2008

I’m getting better with every show! I performed perfectly today with my Dad by my side, he’s so handsome. Guess what? I got Reserve! Yea!!! I just love showing with my Dad.

Ozarks Kennel Club, Springfield, MO, Sunday November 9, 2008

Ozarks Kennel Club, Springfield, MO, Saturday November 8, 2008

I got a ribbon today! I got first in my class. Dad told me that I did really good and showed like a champ. I think I like this show dog thing now.

Sioux Falls Kennel Club, Sioux Falls, SD, Saturday and Sunday October 25-26, 2008

Mattoon Kennel Club, Springfield, IL, Friday October 17, 2008

Wright County Minnesota KC, Hutchinson, MN, Sunday October 5, 2008

I was great today. I performed really good and got first in my class. I got to go to Winners and compete against Bee. It was fun except I had some girl in front of me that could not stay still. She even hit me in the face with her tail. Mom told me to stay so I did. I just stayed stacked and looked at her. Mom put her hand in front of me to protect me from getting hit again! I love my Mom!

Wright County Minnesota KC, Hutchinson, MN, Saturday October 4, 2008

I didn’t even win my class today. I just don’t think the judge like me. It was a bad day. Oh well, tomorrow.

Rockford-Freeport Illinois Kennel Club, Freeport, IL, Sunday September 28, 2008

I didn’t perform as well as I did yesterday. I got a little bit too confident I guess. Mom told me that I have to stay focused and stay on my toes. Nothing is a given in the show ring, well not for Mom and me anyway. I got second in my class. Bee got Reserve and I sure had to hear about it but I’m so happy for my sister, she performed beautifully.

Rockford-Freeport Illinois Kennel Club, Freeport, IL, Saturday September 27, 2008

Bee doesn’t have anything on me now. I performed the best I ever have and loved it. I finally decided that I want to be a show girl! I got Reserve! Mom told me that I looked beautiful in the ring and she is so proud of me.

Sheboygan Kennel Club, Plymouth, WI, Sunday September 22, 2008

Mom was very pleased with me today. She told me that I have come a long way in such a short time. She told me that I perform my best today and I will only get better. I still didn’t feel the best and I think it showed a bit. I got second in my class again.

Sheboygan Kennel Club, Plymouth, WI, Saturday September 21, 2008

My Mom was my handler today and we performed wonderful together. I wasn’t feeling the best, a bit under the weather, so I just didn’t have all my heart in it. Mom understood and told be to do the best I could. I got second in my class.

Havanese Club of America National Specialty, Richmond, VA, August 29-30, 2008

I didn’t get to show in the National Specialty this year because I was the Havanese Ambassador being the logo gal.  The winners think they are the top dog? Oh no, I was the top dog this year! My picture was everywhere! On all the banners and posters, the catalog, people was wearing my picture on their t-shirts, the blankets they were covering up with (it was cold), the water bottles they were drinking from, their coffee mugs, and they even had me on their bags they were carrying. WOW! I was everywhere. The people just loved me and thought I was so cute. I got to meet a lot of really nice Havs and their parents. It was so much fun. I did sneak into the winners box and got my picture taken so everybody could see that I was the real winner! Wow, what a trip!!! I do have to give a huge Congratulations to all the boys and girls that got the trophies and rosettes in the 2008 HCA National Specialty!

Wow, its me!

I'm the star of the show!!!

This merchandise is so cool!!

Me in the Winners Box!

West Burlington Kennel Club, West Burlington, IA, Sunday August 17, 2008

I must be getting the hang of things now. Dad told me that I performed the best that I ever have but, I do still need some work on my walking. I had so much fun and actually enjoyed showing today. I had to stay in the RV yesterday and didn’t get to show. I was upset so I told Bee to stay in the RV today that it was my turn. She didn’t like it, she pouted. I got 1^st in my class.

Kennel Club of Freeborn County, Albert Lea, Minnesota, Saturday August 9, 2008

I’m still not sure how I’m supposed to walk in the ring. I like to pull away from my handler and get off the mat. I’m still learning; you I’m still just a puppy. Mom and Dad have been trying to tell me but I’m having problems learning how to walk correctly. I would rather play and be happy. Mom told me to be patient and I will learn. She will help me because she loves me so much. I got dumped today in last place in my class.

Coulee Kennel Club, La Crosse, WI, Sunday August 3, 2008

I so excited that my Dad was showing me today and NOT MOM! I was too hyper and had trouble calming down and walking right. I did really good on the table for that ole table exam but on down and back, I didn’t do to good. I got 1^st in my class.

Coulee Kennel Club, La Crosse, WI, Saturday August 2, 2008

Well I had a good one with Mom today. We were ring side and she was grooming me getting me ready to go into the ring. I had already did some pre-game warm up but I always get a few minutes just prior to going into the ring. I was on the table with my top not still and they called my number! Dad yelled at Mom, get in the ring! She had to take my top not out and go straight in. She didn’t even comb my bangs! I was not ready and couldn’t walk for nothing. I was really upset with my Mom. I got 1^st in my class but that’s it.  Mom later told me and Dad that she thought there were 8 boys today and she didn’t realize it was time for my class. Hey Mom, the 8 boys is next week, Dah!!!

Duluth Kennel Club, Duluth, Minnesota, Sunday July 13, 2008

I got to show with my Dad today. I did the best that I ever have done. Dad really handles me quite well. The Judge was a really nice man but I don’t think he likes little girls. I got 4^th in my class.

Duluth Kennel Club, Duluth, Minnesota, Saturday July 12, 2008

I did better today but not good enough I guess. I got 3^rd in my class. Mom told me that I improved but I just have to let my personality go and show the judge what a Hapi little girl I am. It’s really hard to do that when you are so nervous. It’s a lot of pressure being a show dog.

Duluth Kennel Club, Duluth, Minnesota, Friday July 11, 2008

I finally got to show again after going on Family Medical Leave for the Puppy Kidz. I got filmed while Mom was grooming me by the local news. I was on TV. Wow, Mom called me a movie star! When I showed I had forgot how to walk. I wanted to pull away from Mom. I did stack perfectly for Mom though.  I have to work on my walking. Mom says that when I do get going and walk right I have a beautiful gait. So I have work really hard on that so I can get my points I need to be a Champion. I got second in my class.

Scott County Kennel Club, Rock Island, IL, Sunday May 11, 2008

Happy Mother’s Day Mom! I wanted Mom to show me today and she did. I did better on the table but I still have issues when a stranger walks up to me starts poking around. The Judge did tell me on the table that I have a really nice body and cute face. I think she liked me. Mom and I did much better walking but I still need some work. I’m going on Family Medical Leave while Bee has her Puppy Kidz so I can get some workouts in while I’m on leave. I got 1^st in my class.

Scott County Kennel Club, Rock Island, IL, Saturday May 10, 2008

I didn’t do too good today, I was really nervous on the table today. Dad had a hard time getting me to stack properly. When I did my walk around the ring I was still so nervous that I cut the corner and through Dad off. He almost stepped on me again! I think I want my Mom to show me tomorrow, her feet are smaller! I got 1^st in my class.

Dairyland Classic, Jefferson, WI, Sunday May 4, 2008

I just loved the judge I had today. She really likes puppies and was so kind to me. I was scared on the table, still afraid of Dad showing my tonsils but we got through it ok. When I did my down and back, the judge talked so sweet to me. She made me really relaxed. When Dad and I did our around, I was walking so good I forgot to turn the corner, you know I’m just a little puppy. Dad almost squashed me! I told Dad to be careful, he has to watch what I’m doing because I’m small and still learning.  He told me that I get better every time I go into the ring but I need some work. I got 2^nd in my class. Dad said something about a lot of homework this week. I don’t know what homework is but it didn’t sound like to much fun!

Dairyland Classic, Jefferson, WI, Saturday May 3, 2008

I had a really nice judge today. I walked perfectly, will almost perfect.  The judge was the one that Dad showed her Bee’s tonsils. Bee told me all about that episode. When the judge told Dad to show me the bite, I clamped down! I wasn’t going to allow Dad to show her my tonsils!  I got first in my class.

Dairyland Classic, Jefferson, WI, Friday May 2, 2008

I was really relaxed and ready for the ring today. I got a little confused and forgot how to walk but I managed to straighten it out and walk really nice. I don’t like that table exam though. I didn’t want to allow the judge to examine me. Dad had a talk with me after the show and told me that I have to allow the judge to examine me on the table. That I have to be big girl and stand there like Bee and yoR do. I don’t want to let my Dad down so I’ll try harder tomorrow. I got first in my class.

Heart of Iowa Kennel Club, Marshalltown, IA, Sunday April 27, 2008

I had my first experience with a real show today. I did ok with Dad showing me but I was really nervous being in a real show. Wow, there is a lot of competition out there! I got 1^st in my puppy class and got to go in for Winners. There was professional handlers and everything. Mom said that Dad and I looked really good. I can’t wait for my next show, I like this show thing!

Dubuque Kennel Club B-Match, Dubuque, IA, Saturday March 22, 2008

I had my first experience in the ring today. I was scared, I didn’t know what to expect. Dad showed me in the Breed competition, which I won! While we were waiting for the Toy Group competition Mom walked me around on my new lead. I got a little more at ease. I didn’t know what to expect in the ring. That table exam is no fun! yoR told me about that table exam but I didn’t really know what he was talking about, now I know! I didn’t know that I was supposed to walk beside my Dad; I walked and pulled away from him. Mom showed me in the Group competition, I didn’t want to walk because I wasn’t sure what I was supposed to do. I froze and thought, gee I’ll just stack I know that one! Mom didn’t like it and made me walk. When I got to stack I did that really well. I got 4^th place in the Toy Group. Not bad for a beginner!
