Tollchester news from Tradex

Halloween weekend at the Tradex Dog Show (the largest dog show in Canada!) was a very successful weekend for the dogs who represented Tollchester.

At the event we had 7 entries including "Topper" AM CAN CH Tollchester's Top Secret co-owned by Connie Redmond, "Ziggy" SU(u) AM CAN CH Pikkinokka's Ziggy Stardust co-owned by Connie Redmond, "Jackson" Tollchester's Star Of Th'Century co-owned by Hardip Gill, "Will" Tollchester's No Problem co-owned by Bernie Schiemel, "Bogey" Douance Hates Meeces To Pieces fostered by Christy Moschopedis, "Diva" Tollchester's Problem Child fostered by Darlene Crowe, and "Juliet" Tollchester's Secret Luv Affair.

The first day of the show Diva came into season so we decided to pull her from showing over the weekend (she was a little concerned about people near her bum... can you blame her?!) so we were down to 6 entries. On Thursday "Jackson" recieved the Winners Dog and Best Of Winners award which gave him 3 points towards his Championship. On Saturday "Topper" won Best Of Breed which got him into the Sporting group ring and onto TV which will air on December 11/12 on TSN. Also on Saturday "Bogey" won Winners Dog which gave him his first 2 points towards his Championship title! On Sunday "Will" won Winners Dog and Best Of Winners which gave him his first 4 points towards his Championship title! "Juliet" recieved Reserve Winners Female both Thursday and Friday. She lost Winners Female to a pretty girl "Bailey" who was the mother of our Oops litter in December '09.

Overall it was a wonderful weekend at the show. We thank everyone who came out to support the tollers and visit us at the show. We hope to see y'all again next year :o)
