 In 2015 we had two more homebred youngsters become Irish Champions, namely Dixie and Zach
 “IR.CH. SIDDHARTHA QUIRKY ‘N QUAINT Jnr.Ch.        &        IR.CH. SIDDHARTHA PRIDE OF LEON”.

Midas “ALILAH CLARIUS FOR SIDDHARTHA Jnr. Ch.” brought 2015 to a close with his fourth Green Star, having started the year by earning his Junior Title, and not being shown again until October.

A Huge thank you to all the judges who conferred the honours on my Muppets, and not forgetting the friends and lovely doggy family who made the shows so enjoyable. I hope the craic and good luck continues into 2016, not just for me and mine but for you all.          Happy New Year.

At the Christmas Combined Show I was rightly chuffed with my boy Midas today.  He didn’t put a foot wrong and earned his Reserve in Group to the Best in Show Winner “Everready All About Judy” at the biggest open show of the year.  Congratulations to June Wall on a lovely win, and many thanks to our judge today Amanda Sammon. 

 
   
 

Also huge Congratulations to my travel buddy Emer Wright on Winning the very prestigious “Junior Handler of the Year 2015” and her very proud mum Maírin Jackson.  As usual our merry band of reprobates had the best of craic and lots of Christmas Cheer.

A massive thank you to the very talented Gordon Gault for the gift of Zach’s stunning oil on canvas portrait, presented to me at the start of Bangor Championship Show yesterday. It certainly brought us luck, as Zach then went on to win Green Star under Judge Mr N Beggs. Thank you so very much judge. I floated home on Cloud 9; well actually Mairin Jackson drove. Thanks for the craic Mairin and Emer, and the lovely evening of celebrating. This win means we can now call Zach IR. CH. SIDDHARTHA PRIDE OF LEON (subject to IKC confirmation). He is my second home-bred champion this year, so I am well happy with my muppets, and blessed to have so many wonderful friends.

Despite the Baltic conditions I had a super weekend with great company and much craic, with the added bonus of Siddhartha Quirky ‘N Quaint bringing home another Green Star on Saturday, but ‘Sunday’ though everything about Dixie impressed the judge whilst on the table (the paws around her neck might not have) she was totally wired and covered the ring on two legs.  Had I held her paw she would have looked like a Womble out for a race on Wimbledon Common.  Thanks again to Maureen Jackson for driving ‘Miss Daisy’ lol very much appreciated; and to all the youngsters for their great company and help.  Well done to Pat and John earning point #4 for Siddhartha Party Girl Rio’s Junior Title,  happier little Muppets you couldn’t find.

Judge:  Mrs Gunilla Albrigsten (Sweden)

 

 

Reflecting on last year in the Show Ring, and despite missing so many shows due to very enjoyable Judging commitments in Sweden, Sullivan’s Quay, Poland, Kilkenny, Ladies Kennel, and my highlight awarding CCs at BUBA in England, lots of family events including my grandson’s Christening in Austria, Special Birthdays and a Wedding,  we didn’t do too badly at all.  After a long absence Cara (Macalliah Cara Siddhartha Jnr.Ch. CJW’10) stepped back in and claimed her Irish Title and also her International Title, and finished the year as Top Tibetan Terrier Bitch 2014, with Dixie (Siddhartha Quirky ‘N Quaint Jnr.Ch.) hot on her heals.  Cara was also the Top Tibetan Terrier on the Circuit as she won the green stars at all of the three shows she attended; nearest to her was a male with two green stars.  

Although Milo (Siddhartha Optimum Impact Jnr.Ch.) was shown at the beginning of the year and Zach (Siddhartha Pride of Leon) made his debut after the circuit, they both added green stars and we finished just one Green Star short of Top Breeder/Top Tibetan Terrier Kennel 2014, and Dixie, Milo and Zach are just youngsters competing against champions.  Then to finish the year our new lad Midas (Alilah Clarius For Siddhartha), at just his second show, won Green Star Dog and RBOB at DDS, also just an eleven month old youngster.  We have had several Reserve Best Puppy in Show at Championship Shows with Dixie, and Group Wins and Reserve BIS at Open Shows too.  Even Midas at only two shows was shortlisted at his first show but couldn’t go back in because it clashed with breed judging, but he took RGSD, and at DDS he was in the last four males, but again I couldn’t take him into the final for Best Puppy in Show because I was in the breed ring with the girls.  We made up three Junior Champions, Milo, Zena and Dixie.  Also Maggie, before I retired her, had a few Best in Show Veteran under her belt.   

I am very proud of the Siddhartha Muppets and their Duracell batteries, and would like to thank all of the judges that have thought so highly of them, and given me so much pleasure in the ring, and all my pals for the fun and support around the ring too, and I “Wish You All The Best in 2015”.
