Clubmatch NCCC

Last Sunday we had the annual Clubmatch of the Dutch Chow Chow Club. Three Xin-Feng Chow Chows were entered, first one to be judged was Endo (Xin-Feng's Endo):He was 4th with Very Good in the Open class dogs.Guido and Endo.

Next one was Chinka (Xin-Feng's Embla) in Open class bitches:Chinka was 4th with Very Good too.

And last was Demi (Ch Xin-Feng's Demeter NJK) in Champions class bitches:Demi was 2nd with Excellent!

We took Chimay and Ari with us. Ari did very well, he stayed with me all day and kept me calm. I deliberately missed Endo's judging, I got so nevous even thinking about it, because of the disaster last year... So I took Ari for a walk and returned when the judging was over.
Endo did a lot better with Guido as his handler.

Thanks Peter for taking photos!

Demi (Xin-Feng's Demeter)

Today I received two great photos of Demi (Xin-Feng's Demeter) from her owner Ilone.

Demi BOB in Eindhoven

Yesterday was the Dog Show in Eindhoven.

Demi (Xin-Feng's Demeter) was entered, for this was her first chance to become Dutch Champion,as she turned 27 months in January. In the Netherlands dogs have to be at least 27 months when they get the last point for their championship.

And Demi did it again: she was Best of Breed and earned her last point to become Dutch Champion!!!
Congratulations Ilone & Ben, we are very proud, Demi is the first Chow Chow we bred who became Dutch Champion!

More photos at Ilone's weblog (in Dutch).

Demi did it again!

Last Sunday Demi (Xin-Feng's Demeter) won in Brussels for the third time Best of Breed!
At Ilone's weblog an impression (in Dutch).

too bad

Ilone called yesterday, Demi got an echo and sadly, she is not pregnant :-(

Too bad, we had hoped Chimay would become a grandmother. Well, maybe next time better.

smooth Demi

Last Monday smooth Demi (Xin-Feng's Demeter) was bred in Germany by the black smooth Chen Jin Zung Tzung Le.

A short impression (in Dutch) with pictures on Ilone's weblog Del Cazadora Blanca.

We keep our fingers crossed!

oh my... forgotten!

I completely forgot our D-litters 2nd birthday last week... That while I lately got some nice pictures of some of them. Thanks all for sending the pictures.

So belated Happy Birthday Demi, Desna, Bobbie, Dante, Dao and Demi!
Here the pictures, first smooth Demi (Xin-Feng's Demeter): This is Desna (Xin-Feng's Desdemona): and here Dante (Xin-Feng's Dante): and this is Dao (Xin-Feng's Dao): and finally rough Demi (Xin-Feng's Draupadi): We hope you all had a good birthday!

Klaaswaal

A new car makes us drive, to get used and because it drives great.
Going for a ride is even better with a goal, so sunday we went to Klaaswaal to visit Ilone and Demi (Xin-Feng's Demeter).
It was a good visit, Ilone and I both took a lot of photos.

On Ilone's weblog are more photos and some short movies (weblog in Dutch).

new car

After ten years and some we replaced our yellow Renault Kangoo.
On monday August 24th our new car finally arrived (we waited since May). A white Dacia Logan.
We got a sticker from Ilone with a photo of Demi (Xin-Feng's Demeter) on it. Frank had to be persuaded, but the sticker is on the car now ;-)

Demi did it again!

Yesterday Demi (Xin-Feng's Demeter) went to the all-breed show in Hoogstraten (Belgium), she won BOB and was 4th in Group V!
Congratulations Ilone and Demi!

Shiba puppies

Yesterday we visited Ben and Ilone in Klaaswaal, to see their Shiba pups. All four are adorable and extremely huggable.
I forgot my camera, so here a photo from Ilones weblog with Ben and the pups: Demi (Xin-Feng's Demeter) was happy to see us again. Ilone had a nice surprise for us, a photo of Demi in chocolate, in honour of becoming a Dutch Youth Champion: I was unaware that this was possible with chocolate! The (Dutch) creator of it is Chocolaterie Robbertsen.

Dutch Youth Champion

At the show in Bleiswijk Demi (Xin-Feng's Demeter) got her last point and became Dutch Youth Champion!Congratulations Ilone and Ben (her owners) and Ien (her handler)!

the pups of our D-litter celebrate their first birthday

Today one year ago they were born: Demi, Desna, Bobbie, Dante, Dao and Demi, congratulations to all :-)
This is the first photo of them. I hope they all have a great day today!

Gladdichs birthday

Today we celebrated Gladdichs second birthday at Ben and Ilone's place. They breed Shiba Inu's and Chimay's smooth daughter Demi (Xin-Feng's Demeter) lives there.
They have a big fenced pasture next to their house, a private place to walk the dogs, so there Gladdich could run off leash and he LOVED it!
Sadly Gladdich does not like other dogs, so when he was tired we put him back in the car and Ilone got Demi and mother and daughter could be together for a while. Demi looks great!

Then we went to Rotterdam for dinner at a nice place.
We all had a good day with Ilone and Ben, thanks!

See all photos from Gladdich, Chimay and Demi.

D-litter at the Young Dogs Day of the Dutch Chow Chow Club

Every year in September the Dutch Chow Chow Club organises the Young Dogs Day. This is not an official show, but all attending young Chow Chows (from 3 to 24 months) are reviewed. For some Chow-owners it is their first step before entering a "real" show.

Four of Chimay's puppies were there and her sister Ginger (Xin-Feng's Charming Ginger). The four "D's" attending were the smooth female Demi (Xin-Feng's Demeter), the rough females Desna (Xin-Feng's Desdemona) and Demi (Xin-Feng's Draupadi) and the smooth male Dao (Xin-Feng's Dao).

Ilone, owner of smooth Demi, took this photo of them all, from left to right: Desna, rough Demi, Ginger, Chimay, smooth Demi and Dao

And here the photos I took today:

Xin-Feng's Demeter (Demi)

This never happend before ;-)
I don't like showing and most of the people who have puppies from us are not into showing either.
But one of the pups of our last litter went to a Shiba Inu breeder who often goes to shows. Ilone went with Demi (Xin-Feng's Demeter) to some local shows and did well. One time 4th of all pups and at an other show even best pup!

Last weekend was the outdoor show in Uden and Demi got BOB (Best Of Breed) over a male from the Champions class! So she has her first leg towards becoming a Dutch Champion. She is the first female to take BOB this year. We are sooo proud!

Xin-Feng's Don Leo (Bobbie)

And there was suddenly our last visit to Bobbie, who lives in Dieren.
Time flies sometimes...

Bobbie was happy to see us back, and like most other pups he enherited his mothers attitude towards the camera. I have many pictures of Chimay, nearly all of the first four months of her life. Then, at 4 months, she decided the camera was NO fun and ever since most pictures are from her behind, or the back of her head.

But I managed to take a few pictures of Bobbie, decent enough to show ;-)
Bobbie is dark red and has a bit big ears, just like as Chimay.

very blue tongue:

I love his head!

Bobbie turned his head too late...
