DCGNY in the Ring

With more than 80% of dog shows being cancelled due to the worldwide pandemic of Covid-19, Prestige still managed to get to some shows and is pleased to introduce four new champions.

Prestige N Dakota’s Hold on my Heart, Sophie finished her championship just prior to the shutdown with her third major at the Dalmatian Club of Greater Indianapolis supported entry show.  Sophie is owned and lives with Sue Buse and is co-owned with Prestige.  We are planning a summer litter with her.

BISS GCHB Prestige N CarriageHill’s Settin’ the World Afire, Blaze started and finished her championship just before the shutdown by only 8.5 months of age with three majors including a Best of Breed of multiple top ranked specials.  During the year she continued to show when she could and obtained her grand championship, her bronze grand championship and became a Top 20 Dalmatian in the country before 2020 ended.  Blaze is owned and lives with Amber Spradlin and is co-owned with Prestige.  We can’t wait to see what 2021 brings.

CH Prestige Island Song Kona Kala, Kala finished her championship with five majors during Covid-19 and took advantage of her limited outings by making them count.  She will start working on her grand championship and has already added multiple performance titles to her name including trick dog and barn hunt.  Kala is owned and lives with Denise and Larry Achram and is co-owned with Prestige.  We look forward to what the future holds in the conformation and performance rings and just maybe the whelping box.

CH Prestige’s Great Gatsby, Fitz picked up his first major the weekend before everything shut down and had limited outings during Covid.  He finished his championship with four majors including a Best of Opposite Sex (to his sister Blaze) over multiple specials completely owner handled from the Bred By Exhibitor class.  Fitz is owned and lives with Amanda Burd and is co-owned with Prestige. 

The Posten’s girl “Keeper” is now CH LOTSA SPOTS SHE’S A KEEPER!  Her two majors were exciting Specialty wins.  First major was in Orlando, Florida where she won a five-point major at the Dalmatian Club of Mid Florida Specialty Show and her second major in Edison, NJ at the morning Dalmatian Club of Central New Jersey Specialty Show held at the New Brunswick KC show to complete her Championship March 23, 2019 two days before her first birthday.  Needless to say, we are extremely proud of this young girl. Owned and bred by Dolores A. Postens.

Madeline’s litter whelped June 16, 2018

Madeline – GCH Prestige N’ Dakota’s Take Me Home CGC had a litter June 16, 2018 with 3 girls and 2 boys.  We are looking forward to seeing 3 of those puppies in the show ring in 2019.  Litter plans for 2019 are currently in the works so check back often to see what’s going on www.prestigedalmatians.com.

Intrepid, or “Trep” is named after the Aircraft Carrier Intrepid on which member Bill Postens served while in the Navy.  The carrier was known as The Mighty “I”, hence his AKC name.  We’re very proud of this boy who finished at 11 months an

d three days of age.  Bred by Sue Tong & Kara Swartwood.  Owned by member Dolores A. Postens. Beautifully handled by Lesley Anne Potts.

Judge Rodney Herner pictured here awarding Dixie her very first point at the Wallkill Kennel Club show June 18, 2015.

“Dixie” is now CH LOTSA SPOTS DIXIELAND DELITE and finished with back-to-back majors in Bloomsburg, PA at the Back Mountain Kennel Club shows Saturday, Oct 31, 2015 under judge Rodney Herner, pictured here awarding Dixie her very first point at the Wallkill Kennel Club show June 18, 2015.  Her second major was on Sunday, November 1, 2015 again at the Back Mountain Kennel Club shows under judge Rita Holloway to finish.

No more RWB’s for this girl! At the Trenton Kennel Club show on Sunday May 8th, 2011 (Mother’s Day), Beth Johnson’s liver bitch “Kona”, Erin N’ Gibson’s Summer Treasure CGC finished her championship going WB/BOW for her final major under Judge Inge Semenschin.

Kona is Beth’s first Champion. As many of you know, Kona has been the bridesmaid on numerous occasions, in fact so many reserves to majors that Beth has lost count at this point as well as going WB only to have the major break. So, this weekend Kona was finally the bride.

From start to finish all her points were owner handled, including a major Beth’s husband, Jason Rudolph, put on her when he brought her in for Winners Bitch at the Delaware Valley Dalmatian Club Supported Entry while Beth stayed on their other bitch. Kona loves going to dog shows and is always thrilled to be in the ring. Beth is so proud of her little Kona Bean!

Huge congratulations to Beth and Kona!

Member Peggy Rogan finished her first Bred By Exhibitor Champion, “Dyson”, LuvMy Erin’s Charming Gentleman, with back-to-back majors Mothers’ Day weekend at Bucks County and Trenton Kennel Clubs. On Saturday, May 7, 2011, at Bucks County Kennel Club in Erwinna, PA, under Judge Dennis McCoy Dyson went Winners Dog, Best of Winners for a crossover three-point major. The next day at Trenton Kennel Club he took Winners Dog for another major to finish under Judge Inge Semenschin.

Dyson finished with three majors (one a Specialty major). “I cannot be more proud of and thankful to this little dog and my friends that enabled this to become a reality!” said Peggy.
