It has taken ages to address the accessibility problems on this blog but we are back!</div>
2015 was not a year to remember with family illness taking over.<br />
However, there were a few highlights one of which being a judging appointment in Belgium where the hospitality was fantastic as always, the food was wonderful.<br />
I had the opportunity to do lots of sightseeing in Antwerp with my host Saskia Vermeylen who is an absolute mine of information on local history and folklore, and was very patient as we explored every possible place in the time available.<br />
.Thank you Nora Figoureux for the invitation and to all the exhibitors for bringing your beautiful dogs under me.It was great to see Claire and Gaston too with my beloved Bali.<br />

At last I have managed to get a photo of Cello -he is usually smiling at the camera or just about to flatten me as he races towards the camera!<br />
Cello will be 12 in October but is still enjoying his trips out to the dog shows, still taking top honours and making both myself and his co-owner Terry Donovan (Mr Polo) very proud. He loves his evening walks up the setaside and is still full of mischief.<br />
It was also lovely for his Grandaughter, Bonvivant Ysatis, also co-owned with Terry, to get her first CC at the Northern Champ show where Cello got the RDCC and BVeteran in Show!<br />

almost two years now and makes me laugh- she can't wait to get in there
and throws herself on the blanket ready for her treatment . She knows
she will feel so much better afterwards! Still so much damage on her
neck and shoulders and I cannot see that she will not have to continue
with treatment for the rest of her life. Some of it is quite painful
but we said today she obviously thinks it is a normal thing to do every
couple of weeks.<br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-ATfdAsSZT3AxWRQAK28nFZ6AuLRMm9I-BYOGQPIPJCDkA29vq0d12BjzvFHnZAqqNH7rLQqLyQmTsS0x3XjvxcMnxDM5gwe1w4XkUxESojCjnIf73XdgQeWXKl2Kp1yiLUftuw6OB7A/s640/blogger-image-761719835.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-ATfdAsSZT3AxWRQAK28nFZ6AuLRMm9I-BYOGQPIPJCDkA29vq0d12BjzvFHnZAqqNH7rLQqLyQmTsS0x3XjvxcMnxDM5gwe1w4XkUxESojCjnIf73XdgQeWXKl2Kp1yiLUftuw6OB7A/s640/blogger-image-761719835.jpg"></a></div>BONVIVANThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00746500939725607145noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5002834746587657289.post-75820226845084438752013-06-24T15:49:00.000+01:002013-06-24T15:49:30.290+01:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Bonvivant Ysatis<br />
<br />
<br />
NBSDC Championship show last weekend and Barbara and I drove to Valiants Equestrian centre near Preston.<br />
It was nice to be going to a show again and I had entered the obedience with Ch Bonvivant Tete a Tete (Cruz) in Beginners and Novice. Despite an anticipation in retrieve-his favourite- he won both classes. Val Neff with 12 month old Bonvivant Gigi (Pandora) was 2nd in Novice and won A.<br />
Bonvivant Gigolo(Cypher) was 2nd in JD-he is such a baby but is slowly getting the hang of showing. Pliquette Zadok *** (Cointreau)1st Limit Dog. <br />
Ch Bonvivant Dewet (Cello) now 11.5yrs old won Veteran and took the RCC BVet and went on to Best Veteran in Show!<br />
In bitches Bonvivant Ysatis (Chic) co-owned with Terry Donovan (Mr Polo) was 1st in OB and took the Bitch CC.<br />
Bonvivant Habibi (Chamonix) was 3rd in OB and Best Veteran Bitch.<br />
In Tervueren Barbaras Bonvivant Ma Cerise at Brackenmeer was 4th in VBitch.<br />
<br />
It was lovely to meet up with a lot of old friends and thankyou to judge Pauline Koning-Stern Hanf and BIS judge Ann Brown.<br />

Chasing chickens around the yard she went under a mobile home and knocked herself unconscious on the main frame underneath. For 5 days she could only move her eyes and wag her tail--she had to be turned every hour and held up to eat, drink and relieve herself. I could not see her making any sort of recovery and the vets prognosis was very gloomy. I called in the chiropractor, Christine East, who had worked miracles on little Min the Groenendael puppy (see earlier posts) and she worked on her for me.After 5 days of lying on duvets in the front room and seeing the other dogs leaving to go outside somehow she managed to launch herself off the floor, only to collapse as she had no co-ordination. Her legs couldn't take her weight but she really wanted to give it a try.</div><div>With regular visits to Christine which became a weekly ritual drive to Waddington, she had to learn to walk again. I would hold her up and then place her legs one after the other, which gave her the incentive to try harder. Even Christine had doubts that she would ever be able to support her own weight again. </div><div>Cacia had always been an athletic puppy and I had photos to look back on which showed her leaping in the air with a beach ball, she had started her obedience training and had become a star pupil as she was so willing and clever.</div><div>Cacia is a Chiraze Grandaughter and when I told Clare and Gaston about her they were devastated and within days had sent pills and potions from their homeopathic vet (and chocolate for me to keep my strength up) and gave me lots of advice. </div><div>Every day we made a little more progress, and gradually she became able to lurch to her feet unsteadily and try to walk. She was so good at being treated by Christine too and realised that she was trying to help her. So much trauma to her spine as she had hit just above her left eye at speed,which then affected her neck, shoulders and right down her body. Cacia continues to improve daily and can now trot and gallop although her slow walk can be a little wobbly but she has built her strength up gradually and has returned to training and, although finding it quite hard work she enjoys it.</div><div> I found that one of Christines suggestions has been especially useful to gain spatial awareness, the addition of scrunchies (elasticated hair ties) on her legs made her aware that she had legs and where they were, and how she could use them. I use them now only on her hind legs when training her and she works both sides to make sure that we do not compromise any muscle tone.</div><div> No-one can believe the progress she has made as most thought that she would never walk again and I would have to make an awful decision. Of course she is thoroughly spoilt and can be a brat, and gets very destructive if not entertained. 3 mobile phones, 2 duvets,2 feather pillows (not a good idea and there was not a chicken in the middle!) a 3 piece suite re-designed by Cacia and the Sky remote on a saturday afternoon just before kick off did not go down well!</div><div> Still a long way to go but you never know - one day she may be able to enter an obedience or show ring.Thankyou Debs and Paul for being so understanding.</div><div> </div><div> </div></div></div></div>BONVIVANThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00746500939725607145noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5002834746587657289.post-64580728376431568222012-03-29T12:48:00.004+01:002012-03-29T13:08:27.433+01:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnrvCYqsDYiCoMsngxM1HyxImW2SQFl2Fy4DunJ28VFDQLAlqGPf3ti3-Z_3sdvGDYHBU6lLNRl7tBfKkYwc9rNhGkFtYqb-48bFLxHjYE87_YHbpIUpKQ1jg2X7-LGb9D1Xubqehmwlw/s1600/IMG_1539.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 214px; height: 320px; float: left; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5725289658861306370" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnrvCYqsDYiCoMsngxM1HyxImW2SQFl2Fy4DunJ28VFDQLAlqGPf3ti3-Z_3sdvGDYHBU6lLNRl7tBfKkYwc9rNhGkFtYqb-48bFLxHjYE87_YHbpIUpKQ1jg2X7-LGb9D1Xubqehmwlw/s320/IMG_1539.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7JTueiCnxn17Jzr-Cqkzipjwz5vwozTXUbySy-VDl58y4mxM_PHWZJ6rpz3Vmsh-g7O5_KQlFZs37Bs6oPvT72BGOTHHyHtbsEBVEQe83K-WsKG_XpSzAAX1lM2Q02EkygHcL9E3rim0/s1600/IMG_1530.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 320px; height: 274px; float: left; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5725287609632091922" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7JTueiCnxn17Jzr-Cqkzipjwz5vwozTXUbySy-VDl58y4mxM_PHWZJ6rpz3Vmsh-g7O5_KQlFZs37Bs6oPvT72BGOTHHyHtbsEBVEQe83K-WsKG_XpSzAAX1lM2Q02EkygHcL9E3rim0/s320/IMG_1530.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkPPL_a5GQwgU_jB7kM4Dg6papVZzcflsYHwKsd1pp3Iimhv6NkOpq9W-pgZ9IL8d5iqzNCaEFsy_pmWxXeyiBrxnK24u7jHHQn5KpCFIpNrKhCePFtfmHsmbflZVY4YoFheijOk6B4WE/s1600/IMG_1526.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 320px; height: 214px; float: left; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5725286624216552674" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkPPL_a5GQwgU_jB7kM4Dg6papVZzcflsYHwKsd1pp3Iimhv6NkOpq9W-pgZ9IL8d5iqzNCaEFsy_pmWxXeyiBrxnK24u7jHHQn5KpCFIpNrKhCePFtfmHsmbflZVY4YoFheijOk6B4WE/s320/IMG_1526.JPG" /></a><br /><div>Sorry it has been so long since I posted last--don't seem to get any free time lately!

Cocoa is a 14yrs old 15hh mare , brown with silver mane, tail and eyelashes- and she knows she is a bit special. She was destined to be in a few cans of dog food and, with the help of my dear friend Carol, now is just thoroughly spoilt.

Maximouse Minimoose was exactly the same size as the other pups when she was born but, at just over 2 weeks old, she stopped growing. Psyche didn't really want much to do with her and I suspected that something was seriously wrong. Dwarfism is not a problem that we have in Belgians and she was eating, drinking and behaving just like the others. I made Psyche feed her on her own but still she didn't grow. By 6weeks the other pups wanted to treat her as a toy and so she was separated to a pen by the others, so she wouldn't lose contact with her siblings but could not be bullied. I bottle fed her and put her on Psyche on her own too. I had just about given up that she would probably die as there must be something seriously wrong. Despite her lack of stature she was a real little fighter and ate everything she was offered. What a little character she was becoming too. She had what appeared to be entropian in both eyes and could not see out of her left eye at all--things did not look good. Her coat was very odd and she had bald patches appearing. She was by now a quarter of the size of the other pups and weighed just over a kilo. We had 2 healers giving her daily healing which I am sure kept her going. </div><div>When we had out Belgian funday I had booked Christine East, the McTimony chiropractor,to come and treat a few dogs. I had told her about Min and she offered to massage her and see if it would help. Min was a livewire but enjoyed her massage--Christine told me that Mins neck was very tight and that she had adjusted one side of her face which was out of alignment.</div><div>Min slept most of the next 2 days and I resigned myself to the fact that she probably was fading away---on the 3rd day I woke up to find her looking straight at me and she was as bright as a button! Since then she has been growing daily and now is about 3/4 of the size of her brothers, her dead coat fell out and a new glossy coat grew and bald patches disappeared.. At last she can play with her mother, and demands attention by bouncing up and down barking. I have put some photos of her on here to show you the difference in the last 4 weeks. Of course she is thoroughly spoilt and eats anything from bananas, fish and chips to beef and pineapple!!!! as well as her usual puppy food. </div><div>It just goes to show the wonders of healing and massage--we have had some brilliant results before when Brizo trapped a nerve in her back and had displaced some vertebrae-now back to normal---thanks to Christine, Garth and Lesley who have such wonderful gifts.</div></div></div></div></div>BONVIVANThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00746500939725607145noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5002834746587657289.post-26295166273146624622010-08-31T12:36:00.012+01:002010-08-31T13:19:26.183+01:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYilT5c508gZedb2VjE3C2Xn88I0AmoxzaPiOtd6RP0-ZHVsEomjxjx_8zL75LdjlazZDlcEbM1HelCupVa6cB1HymsDaaLVyVyN6GOKZoCYdHdE2gwxZU3kewWWWFfF5McCQrcgjqpEM/s1600/teepee+018.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px;

Sad news that Cudos has an extra spur of bone in his jaw which,aggravated by his collision with Coppa, has caused major problems. There is an operation but it may or may not be successful and would cost many thousands. The advise is to wait and see if he will cope as he grows. He is still on painkillers so is leading a normal life but, sadly, won't be in the show ring, however he can continue his obedience training which he loves. Off to the chiro on Wednesday to see if she can alleviate some of the pain. I would recommend Fitzpatricks to anyone wanting a referral--we were there for 2 hours and he took loads of x-rays to find the problem. Fantastic state of the art set up and such caring people .</div><div> Sunshine at last so have spent all Bank Holiday outside with the dogs. Leslie brought her Grandchildren to see the puppies and they had a great time. Still got 3 Groenendael pups and the Tervueren puppy available--they love retrieving the balls and are such lovely outgoing pups.</div><div> Chamonixs Malinois puppies are growing so fast and becoming regular Houdinis.</div><div> I had a nice time between the showers photographing Bronte and Harry the Beardie pups and then found some heavily laden bushes of wild plums and Bullaces--just got to find the time to make some jam now.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>BONVIVANThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00746500939725607145noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5002834746587657289.post-18567667001168772082010-08-22T23:31:00.003+01:002010-08-23T00:02:44.172+01:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQFW0UfADVXF9kJn5U0aoaONGAtq52LPg7q62B8CTBCSJki4_3GWn2JatFtHw1wDUTRKOthVJ9I-FWRMkmGdd29z2mb_rLT65oCJ1F3VdxI7ZP4OjUGwAzgGft-2l2VMo4QO3eQhem86k/s1600/ruger+001.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 149px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508368568432399330" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQFW0UfADVXF9kJn5U0aoaONGAtq52LPg7q62B8CTBCSJki4_3GWn2JatFtHw1wDUTRKOthVJ9I-FWRMkmGdd29z2mb_rLT65oCJ1F3VdxI7ZP4OjUGwAzgGft-2l2VMo4QO3eQhem86k/s320/ruger+001.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCttOqIGULKdBlrBmkccLPmBV1A_530vpXZpbOEELdVAt5Px8mxTb9_3u0H0wpyS5pkq2G14EMcRYFXgMVi3koq_JLuTIHXBY9BlOxKnVxlMz8x3hUnHDObpL6C-bY4lTdXzasMXhZSr4/s1600/Mia+002.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508366493408200786" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCttOqIGULKdBlrBmkccLPmBV1A_530vpXZpbOEELdVAt5Px8mxTb9_3u0H0wpyS5pkq2G14EMcRYFXgMVi3koq_JLuTIHXBY9BlOxKnVxlMz8x3hUnHDObpL6C-bY4lTdXzasMXhZSr4/s320/Mia+002.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2o1zJoyG4BDUOft0joAP1thXohzoqAtfVpXyzdD_PpaKEJ536nkrlS47grL2TaXCss5n7hg6VKBvC03X7XrmmYRJMb5TLGcRI0O9NxS1TLjgz_xy8yBwWcUodZeZEviN71qbFB-0korU/s1600/leadtraining+019.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 214px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508366052177870626" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2o1zJoyG4BDUOft0joAP1thXohzoqAtfVpXyzdD_PpaKEJ536nkrlS47grL2TaXCss5n7hg6VKBvC03X7XrmmYRJMb5TLGcRI0O9NxS1TLjgz_xy8yBwWcUodZeZEviN71qbFB-0korU/s320/leadtraining+019.JPG" /></a><br />WKC this saturday and it was a long drive although the weather did stay dry.</div><div>Congratulations to a new Champion, Belsharose Nebraska, who got his 3rd CC under Debbie Fleming.( A Cliche son out of Bonvivant Ombrage). RDCC was Revloch Yabba Dabba Doo (Cliche x Ch Revloch O'Baoil). BCC was Ch Revloch O'Baoil and RBCC Bonvivant Coup de Foudre avec Zodantta CSAU,TAN, SCh of Merit. BP was Caper (B. Zippydeedoodah). Cruz won Open Dog, Chic 1st PGB, Lexi 2nd LB.</div><div>In Laekenois BB with BOB was Ghiana d'Eroudur and RBB and BP Bonvivant Aziva.BD Haramis d'Eroudur.</div><div> It was lovely to see Brima in the ring with Coppa and Ziva her sisters.<br />In Tervueren B.Ma Cerise at Brackenmeer was VHC in OB.</div><div>Today Gill and Simon visited with Ruger(pic top) and we had a lovely day in the sunshine and Simon brought a yummy Lancashire Hotpot for lunch. Mia(terv) arrived for a few days holiday and spent an hour racing round with Caper and Cudos. Tomorrow Remy and Maisie arrive for a couple of days. </div><div>On Tuesday Cudos and I are taking a trip to Surrey for a consultation at Fitzpatricks, as he has had a nasty collision with Coppa a few weeks ago, and he has displaced his jaw. He is finding it hard to eat and I am hoping that something can be done to help him. At the moment he is on soft food and painkillers although it doesn't stop him playing rough with Caper!<br /></div><div></div></div>BONVIVANThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00746500939725607145noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5002834746587657289.post-25244592944422771962010-08-15T23:43:00.005+01:002010-08-16T00:15:42.078+01:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgir-1rUOzNithk_pw3FbS3FnexkiGSUZJyy75glWIyyy2VVhEOKUCNEIwFEoq3oXtkgmB3TNVs4CSnI32GpPlfMSuccqWhQJPDOfM5mGl4-p0FZQyxYNv3tIi3aG2OCx7dWJz-GojsOwI/s1600/chatcruzwalk+011.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 245px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505773970770896626" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgir-1rUOzNithk_pw3FbS3FnexkiGSUZJyy75glWIyyy2VVhEOKUCNEIwFEoq3oXtkgmB3TNVs4CSnI32GpPlfMSuccqWhQJPDOfM5mGl4-p0FZQyxYNv3tIi3aG2OCx7dWJz-GojsOwI/s320/chatcruzwalk+011.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_QHnHIrE_AJFR5OAOmMRerXftpvJMrkgbC1YwdHqjMB6GPABhHuerb0uUtc5ASGiBrLdNrsh930SkHV64CdfGKjCrla_iLeKw1Oi2f00AcMcPwypmacTpQ4Zr3s9yktYy-cIhVdrmgYU/s1600/chatcruzwalk+006.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505773535231293554" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_QHnHIrE_AJFR5OAOmMRerXftpvJMrkgbC1YwdHqjMB6GPABhHuerb0uUtc5ASGiBrLdNrsh930SkHV64CdfGKjCrla_iLeKw1Oi2f00AcMcPwypmacTpQ4Zr3s9yktYy-cIhVdrmgYU/s320/chatcruzwalk+006.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiVoGadtsI1hpCoWEXp1e6M0cgV6p05Wk6bdIS0qklAB2rljToU8NmhkSkzRhuubZLgSiy0HrHiV1sxnahfkgy0VgRFtqUk-7XoHXHlDFKfMqDLVmwtZz4AYkz0Zdj60FiWoeX5YYTGWM/s1600/cruzchat04+058-1.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 245px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505773035223967458" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiVoGadtsI1hpCoWEXp1e6M0cgV6p05Wk6bdIS0qklAB2rljToU8NmhkSkzRhuubZLgSiy0HrHiV1sxnahfkgy0VgRFtqUk-7XoHXHlDFKfMqDLVmwtZz4AYkz0Zdj60FiWoeX5YYTGWM/s320/cruzchat04+058-1.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8eLdi2v8ag-QhWOLB_UBhE2UfNrEcxa5IOvQF8_SN0RFtfI1MR8GdCW1RIPQSSYbtBttWzecJm-0FlnBugtXnAE2ulBAhZE0KJ2y1CszMsNVpTyoiiXppbRT6ztyTDQdX-cK6AjzpRvs/s1600/cruzchat04+081-1.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505771657716241762" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8eLdi2v8ag-QhWOLB_UBhE2UfNrEcxa5IOvQF8_SN0RFtfI1MR8GdCW1RIPQSSYbtBttWzecJm-0FlnBugtXnAE2ulBAhZE0KJ2y1CszMsNVpTyoiiXppbRT6ztyTDQdX-cK6AjzpRvs/s320/cruzchat04+081-1.JPG" /></a> Today was the first time I had taken Cruz to an obedience competition to compete, not just a training round. I had drawn first in Beginners and had decided to use this for training before going into Pre-Beginners for real.</div><div>It must have been me, as Cruz was on another planet, and we were just not working together. I had had such high hopes today and was quite despondent. We went and did our Beginner stays and he was clear. So onto Pre-Beginners. He was a totally different dog and, although I knew we could have done better, with a couple of exuberent crooked sits, he was with me and listening. Only stays to go and yet again he was clear. I must admit I had watched a couple of other rounds and thought them very good so thought we might get in the placings--I daren't look at the score board so we sat outside the ring and waited for presentations.</div><div> I was so surprised when we were called in first!--we had won on our first attempt and received a rosette and a lovely glass photo frame with his award on it! I was so proud of him and it took a while for it to sink in. My trainer, Audrey, was at the side of the ring clapping and I was so pleased that we had not let her down, as it is down to her training that we have come so far in the last year. Thanks Audrey, and also to everyone who congratulated us ringside, and have given me such a lot of encouragement.</div><div> So now we can concentrate on Beginners, and Caper and Cudos will have to start off a class higher. Such a lot of work to concentrate on over the winter with the 3 boys and hopefully it is onwards and upwards.<br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div></div></div></div>BONVIVANThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00746500939725607145noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5002834746587657289.post-10904445944489316212010-08-11T21:20:00.024+01:002010-08-13T09:59:11.150+01:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaGAfj3dsKsWovChUjnikFG3-nhks6zNuGPqYU1tuGqd_2ZSg3MgZ0Bu1v0axDx60z9ANTmoJESeqV22Mr9-3c4G83-xSxkKfflul9XGzkvz-fIVauQhN70P8bpf0bgtEuTmhJs0ae3hQ/s1600/teepee+004.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px;

So now, at last, I have put together some photos of what we have been up to. Loads more pics to put on here but this is a taster.</div><div>Psyche had 10 lovely puppies, 7 dogs and 3 bitches, one of which was a tervueren male. They came 6 days early, which was a bit of a shock, but all were well grown and ready.</div><div>I qualified both bitch puppy Laekenois at Windsor but, as many of you know, missed my Malinois classes. Apologies to Judge Frank Kane.</div><div>Before I knew it the Club show was upon us and Caper was BP Malinois,Cruz RCC dog, Ziva BP bitch Laekenois and her brother Rodney, BPDog. Antar was RBDog Laekenois.<br />This year we thought we would do something a bit different for our Belgian Fun Day and we had a Teepee with Tarot readings and healing. Everyone joined in putting the Teepee up and even Caper was pulling on the ropes to tighten the canvas.</div><div>We also had a canine chiropractor, Fun agility, puppy socialisation and a BBQ, manned by Martin, and Curry (kindly cooked by our curry king Chris).<br />The weather was against us and many people couldn't make it, but those who came enjoyed themselves. We had a few showers but on the whole it was nice in between.<br /></div><div>Gerry and Steve were with us for the week and Gerry was choosing her new puppy. After a thorough going over she chose Raphael (Raffa for short) and they spent a happy time together. Raffa went off exploring and went through the scary bottle hoops and along the ladder on the ground with no problems. After racing round the field with his sister Min he decided to crash a out by Gerry and finish off a well earned cup of tea (Belgians having the perfect cup shaped noses).</div><div>Billy the Westie pup, Totty the collie and Bronte the Beardie pups all had a good day socialising and trying out the equipment. Barney the Beardie had his first try at agility and was brilliant, with a bit of assistance from Frieda he was soon going through the tunnel too. Kate enjoyed her day with Megan and Heidi, and Brian the Labrador had a check over from the chiropractor.</div><div>We ended the evening with a Shamanic drumming session in the Teepee, accompanied with by Cudos. Thank you Leslie and Di for a wonderful experience.<br />Chamonix was due to whelp on the Monday but decided to wait until after the Fun Day, so not a lot of sleep that night. She had 6 male puppies and is a very good mum as she was last time.</div><div>We ended the week with a Birthday lunch for my Mum with some friends. Back to the normal chaos now so hopefully I will keep up the blog more regularly.</div><div>Obedience training with Cruz, Caper and Cudos is coming on well and they really do enjoy it. WKC in a couple of weeks, then Richmond (the last ones with CCs ) and maybe a couple more and that is about all we shall be doing show wise this year. It is becoming so expensive now with entries and the rising costs of fuel we shall be looking forward to more obedience shows and maybe some open shows up at Newark.</div><div>Congratulations to all Bonvivant dogs, and relations who have done so well in Agility, Obedience and the show ring this year so far. The future looks exciting with 2 Groenendael puppies(Ceren and Uli) having gone to Chris Paris Brown and Jude Owen, respectively,for Obedience.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>BONVIVANThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00746500939725607145noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5002834746587657289.post-16768087088714860922010-06-04T01:01:00.003+01:002010-06-04T01:20:54.761+01:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgZ80RLUtz8meV_ISyuIohVTZHCuv1-31_BZ2xL_fLYTjAuCSZtTNUkVpKbLdjs0Y15gEfCSkQLSjHYVleJeBdWM76vzs-sqr3PSbK70IR7M_fcVZqc__J8nH3GMAL95QMw9vPiqMmC_o/s1600/Bratislava+and+dogs+527.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 230px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478704480951063474" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgZ80RLUtz8meV_ISyuIohVTZHCuv1-31_BZ2xL_fLYTjAuCSZtTNUkVpKbLdjs0Y15gEfCSkQLSjHYVleJeBdWM76vzs-sqr3PSbK70IR7M_fcVZqc__J8nH3GMAL95QMw9vPiqMmC_o/s320/Bratislava+and+dogs+527.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYkp3cNTuyg7eMYn10W0oI_xOUa97Gs-1FoKRmr09wW95q2iktTy-7LxwyMU5II90CdA94waN887AguNyNCnSdnGymGA6pja7xcPeF1z4dM3CXn7fKg9QNAtiRIhqLudl8K3d7LICulmg/s1600/mum+008.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478703358723756994" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYkp3cNTuyg7eMYn10W0oI_xOUa97Gs-1FoKRmr09wW95q2iktTy-7LxwyMU5II90CdA94waN887AguNyNCnSdnGymGA6pja7xcPeF1z4dM3CXn7fKg9QNAtiRIhqLudl8K3d7LICulmg/s320/mum+008.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKFynn9AtvwDnFFrePcLvobzj6sqK37YjNMdSYdUL6OLlc2Dqob41mLxY7cjrYUXqR1qi1VJ0IHObZzn-7eb9VxHAiOx3PunTNfpzBSRJEwx2gXNpduNM3_CdIVTFrIQdCYyDy2ryfxN4/s1600/nebraska.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 190px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478702116792470930" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKFynn9AtvwDnFFrePcLvobzj6sqK37YjNMdSYdUL6OLlc2Dqob41mLxY7cjrYUXqR1qi1VJ0IHObZzn-7eb9VxHAiOx3PunTNfpzBSRJEwx2gXNpduNM3_CdIVTFrIQdCYyDy2ryfxN4/s320/nebraska.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div>Bath Championship show last weekend with fantastic results.</div><div>Deepha was awarded her 3rd CC and is now a Champion!

So much has happened in the last few weeks so I must catch up now. </div><br /><div>Bunny had a pyometria and we thought that we would lose her, but she recovered well after her emergency operation and is now back to full strength.</div><div>Gerry and Steve came down for a few days which was lovely. The week after Bunnys' op of course, we lost Cougar, and then Margy and I went to Slovakia judging at the Belgian Speciality. We had a lovely weekend (see next blog) and managed to get a flight home in time to go to Birmingham National where Cruz had the RDCC, Dana (B.Sorciere) the RBCC. DCC was Theas' new Import Casykas Ituha and the BCC and BOB, Ch.Revloch O'Baoill. BP was Revloch Yabba Dabba Doo. Congratulations everyone.</div><div>Steve came for a few days, on his own this time, and just chilled out, being head chicken keeper and Kennel man. :) thanks Steve.</div><div>In between I have been training with Caper,Cruz, Cello and Cudos, and lead training the remaining Laekenois pups. I still have a couple of bitches looking for active homes.</div><div>Psyche is decidedly in whelp to Becanbrie Rohan at Linvetts, and will do well to get to her due date on the 16th of June! </div><div></div>BONVIVANThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00746500939725607145noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5002834746587657289.post-57685048973281946012010-05-25T23:51:00.016+01:002010-05-28T20:46:11.438+01:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLKgljgCVAkW0GIixmFmt_1qhLhYoK8jB5jrLPwk2dCoxx1ve_6ivJBY8DMgcVJyQzDVPgEIpNO2Dv-HXWBjmrLxvVmH4pcD-r56ZIkiImet4VIEFo23lT7dVHXcgMXRvTj4LGFhNDF7s/s1600/Bratislava+and+dogs+071.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px;

We suspect he had a blood clot and I found him peacefully lying in his bed on Tuesday evening. He had spent his day playing in the sunshine with his ball, sleeping in the office on his chair and keeping an eye on Cudos the puppy. When the other pups left home he took it upon himself to look after Cudos and slept on his chair so the pup knew he wasn't alone.</div><div> Cougar made history, being the first Malinois male Champion in the UK, gaining his crown under the late Terry Thorn. He represented the Malinois many times in the Group ring, was lead dog for the Bonvivant Breeders Team, the last time this year at Crufts where he had taken the RDCC the day before. Cougar loved to show and just couldn't wait to get in the van. Always a gentleman, loved and admired by so many both here and abroad. Sire to many lovely puppies and was the only Malinois to be used here in the UK for the Mal/Laekenois mating, passing on his character and qualities.</div><div> Cougar was Top Sire 2009 in Malinois and Laekenois. He represented the Breed at the Contest of Champions, Discover Dogs and was a wonderful Ambassador for the Breed.</div><div> Above all, Cougar was my soul mate, always there when I needed a shoulder to cry on..... </div><div> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div>BONVIVANThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00746500939725607145noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5002834746587657289.post-63878682247495483452010-04-18T00:22:00.011+01:002010-04-18T00:53:33.899+01:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNo9QmKaUybZn9H6CgSU3ZtveSdkxgI7zxb3uxDBHyC7Gw26DICodlqcz8_LTCSwit6fo2la1FFhRRs19FWAZE0UeuIwimri3968OmThGFBjvMxQMg2L9CLg2WJugZjxdQT66mWoKT28A/s1600/001.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px;

I think I can safely say that Bali was pleased to meet her new owners, Linda and Kathrine, and she spent her first couple of days with Linda and Ronny. She took her Tigger with her and looks so relaxed in the car on her long journey from Stavanger to Bergen, with 2 ferry crossings. What a big day that was for her. I think she will be very happy in Norway. </div><div> Her brother, Cudos, is on his own now and has moved into the house with us. He hasn't stopped using his voice for the last 2 days, but he croaks a bit now. He has been travelling around with the dogs in the van and spent a lovely afternoon up at Carols' yesterday--running in and out of the container as if he did it every day. He went to visit my friends at the kennels this morning and joined their dogs in the kitchen while we had a cuppa. He was quite surprised to meet dogs which weren't Belgians but soon made himself at home pulling a net of lemons out of their veg rack.</div><div> Another beautiful warm, sunny day and Barbara and I went for a walk with the dogs. Hard to believe that Ziggy the Collie is almost 11yrs old now, the same age as Bunny (Gwashleas Rigmarole at Bonvivant) pictured at the bottom here. </div><div> Chatter and Cruz went on a photo shoot up the field and posed on the straw bale--taking five and rolling around on top of the bale--almost falling off! Then they played hide and seek round the bale before going home for a cool drink.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>BONVIVANThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00746500939725607145noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5002834746587657289.post-91361021227123049892010-04-13T00:49:00.009+01:002010-04-13T01:14:37.911+01:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSC7Id6uoR404ywmxatC8JVCCnkmB65KuzGM0I2PtUNPWwlf2PKkKpilYkai3qYU8fLS9QQpFP6o0HgeagqluCzUhshbNBv8HV5ezPGiIPBI-6emMexBP3pAk2u-qHQvo_DwhKQ2ah7vs/s1600/solli+020.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px;

The Malinois puppies had their first outing in the sunshine with mum, Chiraze, and had a great time. Bali is off to Norway on Wednesday this week to Kennel Nadjarah where she will be showing and doing agility with Linda and Kathrine. Biper and Chiraze returned with Claire and Gaston to Belgium on Friday just leaving the 2 pups here.</div><div>My Mum has been recruited to train Caper on his retrieve and he is very good with her and is careful not to bounce all over her.</div><div>It was cold on Saturday when I went to Newark, having volunteered to do stay stewarding and scent decoy, met lots of friends and socialised Caper and Ziva. They both enjoyed the experience and mugged everyone they could. I came home to thaw out!</div><div>Today, Barbara and I took Sam, Zig the collie and Cerise to play in the field and they had a great time. Soli the Laekenois is on holiday and posed beautifully for me to take some photos.<br />It wouldbe nice to think that it will remain sunny for the rest of the week and today the wind had dropped making it so nice to be outside with the dogs.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>BONVIVANThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00746500939725607145noreply@blogger.com0
