Poodle Training Club News

We were lucky enough to have a lovely day for the 2013 PTC Agility Show. The

sun shone and there was a great turn-out. The show was generously sponsored

(again!) by Royal Canin. As a bonus, there was a fantastic scoring system in use

that gave everyone an immediate view of results. Tony Griffin, judge for the

day, created some fun, challenging, running courses.

Oops!

Contact, schmontact. Speed is the

important thing.

The winner of the Crystal Hawkes memorial trophy for the best miniature poodle

was Jennie Kitchen with Belamour Royal

Commander.

big dogs!

Discover Dogs 2013

As usual, Poodles (all three sizes) were

represented at Discover Dogs.

If we were judging by the crowds at the Poodle

stand, there will be lots of new converts to the

breed! Many thanks to all the generous poodle

owners who tested their dogs' tolerance by

representing Poodles!

From Karen Thompson:

Michelle Newman's Standard Poodle bitch Wiggy has won her third ticket in obedience on 13 October, making her Obedience Champion Myall Kanya Tri Again. She may be only the second poodle ever to gain this title, held previously by Anne Northfields brown Standard Kirsty OB CH Benjomar Painted Lady.

A Class Act

Jodie Harrison We have had standard poodles for 17 years now. We have had 4 and showed them all in the breed ring. We did obedience and agility with Angel’s mother, especially at YKC camp. We bred Angel's litter; one of her sisters went to an obedience home. Her name is Wiggy (Myall Kanya Tri Again). She belongs to Michelle Newman and has done well. They are a lovely breed and it is only lack of time that has prevented us from doing agility

with Angel in the past. Still, better late than never. She loves a scurry if we go to a fun show, so I think she will enjoy it.

Lee Harfield Pip is my first poodle. He is a Grade 7 agility dog. Heather Gale

Shown and bred poodles since the late 70s. Own 9 poodles at present. Have taken some of my poodles to Gold Award in the KC Good Citizen Award Scheme. Others hold various awards from puppy to Bronze and Silver. Would have liked to continue doing this but the centre I was attending stopped doing the awards. Want to try other activities as I am fed up with the showing and cost. Have attended HTM with one of my girls and I still have her. Again the class

finished.

Goodbye

The first Standard Poodle tandem in the UK.

From Diane Jones:

"My club was invited to Pet Expo in October to show what a pet dog training club could do. So I showed the public what poodles could do, i.e. carting being one of the events. Saffron (in the lead) is 5 years old; I have had her from a puppy. Ody is 9 years old, I rescued him at 10 months. He had no training and was completely wild. Both poodles do Agility, Obedience, and Heelwork to Music. Ody is the first poodle to reach Advance HTM. Florence the toy poodle is 2 years old. She has only been training with Saffron and Ody for a short while. The cart I found in somebody's garage and said I could give it a good home. The harness is made by Farthing Saddlery and copied from a goat harness."

A First for Poodles!

Marco (Nov 1997 - May 2012) "Just recently, I lost my Toy poodle Marco who was peacefully put to sleep in May after a short illness. I acquired Marco in the year 2000 at the age of 3 - the fourth dog in the pack at my home. He fitted in with us all immediately and soon found a best mate with Maddi, my Miniature Poodle. Agility is the name of the game in this family and he soon cottoned on, the faster you go, the better the tidbit! He made loads of friends especially with Maggie and Juliet's poodles - quite often pairing up with Maggie's Standard Poodle Rupert for Mini/Maxi pairs. He was involved with Discover Dogs at Earl's Court for several years and loved all the fuss people made of him. He was even in show biz and starred in the

opera Pagliacci in Covent Garden, London for 3 weeks, being one of the circus animals, surrounded by jugglers, fire eaters, and people walking on stilts. He even got a pat on the head by Placido Domingo! Nothing fazed him - he was my star and I will never forget him. May he rest in peace and join his beloved Maddi." Gilly Pipe

Marco & Rupert

Acecliffe Star Blazer at Mardarzett – Rupert (son of Star) to his friends "We had to say a very sad goodbye on Wednesday 13th February to our beautiful big boy. Rupert was a very proud Standard Poodle who lived his 14 years to the full. He came to live with us when he was 9 weeks old, joining our three Miniatures Hannah, Celene and Lucy, and the last five years with Paddy and JayJay. Rupert loved nothing more than being admired and fussed; he loved all people, especially children (with the exception of the postman). One of his favourite things was going to breed shows, earning a 2nd and 3rd at Crufts. He also did some photo shoots, including an advert for a programme for children’s television." Maggie Cheek

Poodle Service Dogs

From Anne Raynor: "Micky the hearing dog is a son of my Tali Rubegud Crystal Tali & Pat Gaulton's dog Am Ch Mannorhills Art Attack for Trishanna. Casper and Patmore's father is Susan Jaggs' Tanboree A Wee Dram (Bertie). Both Bertie and Tali go back to Crystal Hawkes Piquant breeding. Tali's mother is my Ruby aka Piquant Pick of the Pack. I thought that might be of interest to people who own poodles of similar breeding! Those on the Facebook group will know of my Percy ASBO poodle; he is Micky's litter brother and I am proud to say recently passed his Gold Good Citizen. I won't say how many attempts at this he has had but only that on his first attempt he retrieved his bed!!!! Percy competes in KC obedience and just started Rally (which he loves). This year, he has been placed 10th and 3rd in prebeginners. Casper's litter sister Amber is just starting to compete in agility.

I am extremely proud of the three dogs I bred that are assistance dogs; they do such a wonderful job. I would urge other poodle breeders to think about donating a puppy. Sadly, I will not be breeding anymore as I had a disaster in Tali's last litter."
