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. 

New member Sean McCaughley made his first appearance in Non-Sporting Group competition on Sunday, May 22, 2011 in Old Bethpage, Long Island at the Long Island Kennel Club. Erin’s Prionsa of of Tiffany, “Darcy”, was Winners Dog, Best of Winners and Best of Breed! “Jane”, Sparkyanna’s Riona of Tiffany, was Winners Bitch and Best of Opposite. The judge was Sue Weis. Sean owns both Darcy and Jane and handled both of them, with only assistance in breed when a second pair of hands was necessary. While it was a thrilling day for Sean, Jane and Darcy seemed far more interested in the bait. Congratulations!

October 23, 2010 was a perfect day for the weather and for “Lita”, Dynasty’s You Better You Bet. Lita was Winners Bitch, Best of Winners and Best of Breed over three specials at Gloucester Kennel Club under Judge W. Everett Dean Jr. for two points.  Lita now only needs two singles to finish. Lita was bred by and is owned and handled by Jackie McIlhenny.

“AJ”, Ch. S. Xposur N Dynasty’s Chasin Neon Rainbows CD RN, not only was Best of Breed at the Dalmatian Club of Southern New England’s (DCSNE) specialty, but he went on to a Group 4! The DCSNE Specialty was held on Friday, September 17, 2010 in Falmouth, MA, at the South Shore Kennel Club. The judge was Mr. Robert “Bruce” Smith. Defeating 56 dogs, among them a top special, AJ’s Non Sporting Group 4 placement was under judge Dr. Wanda  V. Spediacci.

AJ was bred by and is owned by members Barbara and David Garceau and Jackie Quinn. Enjoy your Specialty win and group placement guys! Woohoo!

Today at the Long Island Kennel Club (LIKC) in Old Bethpage, NY, “Dyson” Luv My Erin’s Charming Gentleman earned his first point out of the Bred By Exhibitor Class taking Winner’s Dog, Best of Winners, Best of Breed. In celebration of their 110th show, the LIKC offered a Best Bred by Exhibitor in Show Competition. Expertly handled by his breeder Peggy Rogan, Dyson gaited off with a first place rosette in the Non-Sporting Group and at only eight months and one day old showed beautifully in both regular group competition and the special bred-by group and bred-by best in show. Dyson is co-owned by Rogan and Janet A. Katz.

An exhausted puppy is happy to be home in Chester, NJ, with his dog door and pack-mates. What a way to start counting points Dyson and Peggy!!
