Ebony's Dog World

SWANSEA JUNIOR HANDLER 1ST - KILBOURNE OH SUZZANNAH
Ebony judging junior handling

It has been a busy summer with lots of shows & handling other breeds for friends. I have enjoyed the experience & look forward to competeing at the semi finals in Richmond. I have not decided who to handle yet as both Star (whippet) & Efa (Deerhound) are youngsters & have not had the experience of the other dogs I have handled. I'm sure who ever I take in will do their best on the day! Efa is not that keen on showing but tries her best, she likes to be out in the fields running around like a looney & Star is only a puppy & gets over excited so she does not stand still for too long. She loves showing though & meeting all the other dogs so I'm sure she & I will have a good future.

Not bad for an 11yr old. She really does love her dogs and has a natural ability with them. We are so happy And proud of her and her achievements. Ebony is also an active member at The Pembrokeshire Canine Ass.

And has recently accepted a post to judge in November. She has made some great friends through her dogs and was disappointed when YKC camp was cancelled this year, so we took her group of school friends to some local shows and had our own camp on the lawn! Zoe

I started showing dogs at the age of 3, with my lurcher who was called PIP (my dad rescued her while working on a building site). We won many things together, but the big win that stands out the most to me is when I was 3 year old and we won Pembrokeshire dog of the year millennium. With winning that, we qualified for dog of the year, so that month we had to travel all the way up to Manchester for the finals. Unfortunately I didn’t get any but it was a great weekend away. Sadly late last year PIP had to be put to sleep because of old age and a heart failure. All of us were devastated with the loss of our old girl. Now on to the happier side of things. I have done very well at open and championship show level. Handling my Whippets, Deerhounds and occasionally my Mini Wire Haired Dachshunds. I’ve shown at Crufts since the age of 6, in breed classes and YKC. This year I’ve qualified for YKC Handling and YKC National Handling. I’m showing my Whippet Honey (Wolfscastle Honey Bunny) in the YKC National Handling, 2 deerhounds, Doogal (Wolfscastle Wood Melick) in the KC handling and Dixie (Wolfscastle Wild Orchid) in the breed class, I’m also handling a friends Norfolk Terrier in it’s breed class.
Last week I brought Honey into my class to tell every one about my hobby.
We both did really well together Honey stood on the class table when I was telling the whole class about dog handling. I answered all the questions that were asked and we set a time record, we were suppose to speak for 4 to 5 minutes but we ended up speaking for 8 minutes instead. I think my teacher Miss L Hart was so interested in what I was saying she wasn’t looking at the stop watch. I think all of my class enjoy it very much!!! I still can’t believe they let us take a dog to school.
I really enjoyed YKC camp 2006. It’s the first time I have been there. It was so much fun because you got to try out different things with your dogs such as heel work to music, agility, good citizens, and obedience’s. There were groups that we got split up into, I was in Brilliant Boxers and this year the camp challenge was to make a kite that would represent the team and would also fly. My team won the camp challenge. During the week we had to dress up as cow boys and cow girls, we also had to dress up as it was a Halloween theme party. Then later on that week we had a talent show when all the teams that week had to learn a song and dance routine to the curtain song that the team captain chose my team had, DON’T STOP MOVING TO THE S CLUB BEAT (by S club 7). We came 3rd out of all the teams. The over all winners out of all the teams, were the BRILLIANT BOXERS. So thank you YKC for organising such a fun week for all of us!!!
We are a good team at Wolfscastle, even though we have to travel long distances to some shows, and my mum & dad work as well as taking care of all of us, it is still enjoyable and I like all the people I have met through my dogs. I have made some great friends. We enjoy our dogs as pets, if they become show dogs that is a bonus as my mum says. Win, loose or draw we always come home with the best dog!!!!!!!
My dogs are my best friends, so loyal and loving. EBONY
