With this win he is qualified for Crufts 2012! Judge was Stelios Makaritis, from Greece.

At the international allbreed KC show in Oslo, Ice won the intermediate class and was 4th best male with CAC for sighthound specialist Knut Fr. Blütecher, from Norway.
It was his sixth Norwegian CAC!

Whisky ended the day with EXC and CQ in a hudge champion class.

At the Norwegian Saluki Specialty Ice (Aziz Ihsan) won the reserve-CAC under Juan Carlos Vasconsellos (kennel Anjal Sahara), from Paraguay.

He was also BIS-intermediate class.

“Skokloster-2011″, Sweden’s largest sighthound show was successful for both of the boys!

24.07 was the day for the Saluki Specialty. Junior class was judged by David Perkins, kennel Pennyworth from England, while the champions were judged by Mr David Graham, kennel Daxlore, France.

Ice was shown in junior class, as he won with a brilliant critique:
“15 months fawn dog. Very eye-catching without being flashy. Excellent head, neck and whole front assembly. Good depth of chest. Lovely topline. Lovely quarters. Excellent condition. A stunning dog!”

He got EXC, CQ and was later Best Junior Male for Janet Littell Adam, kennel Elysian Fields, USA. He ended the day as Best Dog-3 out of 75 males, judged by Mr David Graham. As well chosen for Best Movement competition.

Whisky was judged by Mr David Graham, got EXC, but not placed in the huge champion class.

25.07 was the day for the Sighthound Specialty. Junior class was judged by Janet Littell Adam, kennel Elysian Fields, USA. Ice repeated his placement from the day before, as Best Junior Male, again with an excellent critique: “An extraordinary high quality saluki showing ideal head piece. Good arch & neck. Strong topline. Excellent shoulder placement. Low hocks”.

Whisky was shown in championclass for David Perkins and got EXC. He was also selected as one of seven champions to the last round (out of 17). Very satisfied with his critique too: “Very masculine silver grizzle. Nice shape of head. Nice underjaw. Good overall shape. Good pasterns. Good topline. Well of bone. Long tail. Moved well.” David Perkins, GB.

This summer double issue of Norways largest dog magazine “Hundesport” (Dog Sports) offers a series of articles under a common titled “Dog no obstacle”.
Since Whisky & Ice are two guys who are quite well traveled and spend several thousand kilometers in a mobile home; from North Norway’s most beautiful island group, Lofoten, to the Algarve coast in Portugal, it was highly relevant an interview in the magazine.

Here you can download the whole article (sorry, only in Norwegian).
Norwegian Kennel Club put out all the editions of “Hundesport” (Dog Sports) magazine electronically and this edition (nr 6-7) will also be published under this link.

The weekend 2 – 3 July, we visited Trondheim on the way home from holiday in Lofoten. Two days with Sighthound Specialty and an International Show hosted by the Norwegian Kennel Club.
And it went really good!

On Saturday Sighthound Specialty De JCH VDH JCH EuJgSG-11 FCI-Centenary YW Aziz Ihsan was Best Dog with CAC under judge Anette Edland from Sweden.
The next day on the International Norwegian Kennel Club Dog Show, he was 2nd best male and again won a CAC under judge Eva Ekstam.

This CAC is very important to achieve the Norwegian championchip.
We are now waiting until he is two years, then both the Norwegian and Swedish championchip can be confirmed.

At the Sighthounds Specialty in Hoisdorf INT CH, S CH, N CH Noor Inca Alfa Romeo Visconti “Whisky” won Best of Breed from working class with VDH and CAC under judge Anette Bystrup from Denmark. He finished the day as one of two in the Best In Show final. The lovely Irish Wolfhound won the BIS, but we are very happy with our result.

Whisky was shown under the same judge at the World Dog Show in Denmark last year, in the same class, got excellent and great critic. But we never got it written, because there was no written reviews on WDS.
So we decided to show him for Anette Bystrup again to have the critic in written this time. And we got it ……. in German …….. and since none of us speak German so we don´t understand half of it …….

EuJgSG-11, FCI-CentenaryYW Aziz Ihsan “Ice” finished his German junior championship today, when he won the JCAC and JVDH at Sighthounds Specialty in Hoisdorf, Germany. He was also BOS-Junior at the same show under judge Anette Bystrup from Denmark.

What a weekend, again!
This time both of our boys were shown for Kitty Sjong from Denmark at NKK Int. Show in Drammen. First in the ring of the salukis was Ice in junior class and he ended with Exc. & CQ.  Whisky was entered in champion class and he also ended as 1st with Exc. and CQ. So I had two dogs in the competition class, and it was so nice
that the breeder of Whisky, Kristin Roaas was there and could show him in the finals for best male, with a fantastic result – Best male with CACIB.
Thank you Kristin.

Whisky – CIB N S CH Noor Inca Alfa Romeo Visconti finished the day as Best of Breed with CACIB!

Ice – EuJSg’11, FCI CentenaryJW Ihsan Aziz ending the day as BD-4 and res-CC. This was his ninth show and he has now 6 CC’s and 3 res-CC in 3 different countries. Plus two winning titles. Not bad for a 14 months young boy!

I have no words!
Another great show weekend for Ice – EuJSg´11, FCI-CentenaryJW Aziz Ihsan. This weekend he have been shown in Sweden. There were two dog exhibitions in the Stockholm area.

This CAC make him be a Swedish champion in the same moment he achieves Norwegian championchip. The rules in both countries are that a dog must be over 2 years old in order to achieve a championship.

Sunday we went to Vallentuna to a Swedish Kennel Club International Show and Ice ended as 3rd best dog with reserve CAC under judge Robert Whitney from Canada! Not bad at all for a such young dog!
