Champion No. 150

Kirschcake aus dem Elbe-Urstromtal wint de titel van Zweeds kampioen op de leeftijd van 7 jaar.

Wauw!!!!!

Zo intens gelukkig.

wat een prestatie.

 Een hele  speciale kampioen.

Ze is Nummer 150 in mijn fokkerijgeschiedenis.

Kan mijn gevoel niet uiten als ik terugkijk.

Eerste nest in 1973.

Eerste show op 28.5.1972 met mijn eerste Bobtail, die ik in 1971 gekocht heb.

De moeite, de tranen, het geluk en de wilskracht die je nodig hebt voor dit soort geschiedenisschrijven, is niet te beschrijven

Ze is uit de overleden Multi Ch Eldorado aus dem Elbe-Urstromtal (zijn 26e kampioen nakomelingen) en Flashlight aus dem Elbe Urstromtal  

Niet te vergeten de 111 kampioenen van mijn andere ras, de ” Firstprizebears “Bearded Collies

We hebben het nieuws uit  Zweden ontvangen van haar eigenaar Marie Bergqvist

Eindelijk naar  7 jaar puppies en ziektes, bovendien moesten wij haar vacht kort knippen !!

Vandaag  op 01-07-2018 op de  Alfa hondenshow is ze

Elbe-urstomtal Kennel celebrates 150th Champion

Conny Loest was just a young girl, only 15 years old, when she bought her first bobtail and registered her kennel in 1971. She attended her first dog show in Neumünster/Germany in 1972 and since then has been showing at a high level. She had her first litter in 1973 and ever since has had between 2 to 3 litters per year. Conny has always used many different stud dogs and has sold puppies around the world.  She still enjoys breeding however does not show quite as much as before; previuosly she would attend 35 to 40 shows per year, now she does a maximum of 15 shows per year because of the long distance driving.

Breeding and showing has always been her passion and the effort, willpower, tears and strength she’s needed in these past 45 years to write this history is, as most dog people would understand, indescribable. Conny has never been on a breed club committee nor become a judge. Every success she’s had is because of the high breeding standard her dogs have. Most of these 150 Champions are made up from dogs that have been campaigned worldwide. Conny’s dogs are writing history in many ways. She owned the first foreign dog to win a CC at Crufts and subsequently was made up as a UK Champion. She also had the First OES who won a Group at the world show in 1981 and she owns the Top all Breed Dog in the Netherlands. This dog is also the top OES in the Netherlands and Denmark. She’s had litters from 7 Champions and has a Top sire that produced over 27 Champion children. There is simply too much to name it all! Conny also breeds Bearded Collies under her other Kennel name “Firstprizebears”, which started in 1989; however she will stop breeding them in the next 3 years and hasn’t shown them since last year. So far Conny has produced 112 Champion Bearded Collies and believes several will follow.Her 150th Champion is the 7 years old “Kirschcake aus dem Elbe-Urstromtal” who became a champion at the show in Alfa on July 1st 2018. Her owner is Marie Bergqvist who lives in Sweden. Congratulations on a great career to Conny and her dogs!
