Orlando May 2005 International Shows

      The UCI International Dog Shows come to Florida twice a year, in May and in October. They are sanctioned by the UCI German Federation and feature the "European Style" of judging with written conformation critiques by each judge for each dog that is showing. This gives the dog's owner an opportunity to read up on what the dog's merits are or what the dog is lacking in. Another major difference between the International show format and the AKC's shows is that if the dog receives the highest rating (V1's for adults) from 3 judges in the Open Classes and from 4 judges (SG1's) in the Puppy Classes, the dog is awarded the International Champion's title. (For more information on the European Judging Style versus the AKC style, see article To Critique or Not To Critique )

     One great advantage for the International style of showing is that the dogs actually receive more in-the-ring time training at these shows than they do at the AKC shows, thus the dogs benefit more from the hands-on training that takes place while being presented at these venues. Since 2 shows are run back-to-back in 1 day, the dogs are also in a "show environment" the entire day, giving them more practice. We highly recommend for each of our Partners, co-owners and handling clients to participate at the International level with their dogs

     At the most recent International show, the action was none stop for Team Herzon  and for  some of our  partners at the shows held on May 7th and 8th.  Chambray & the Partners Dog Program was well represented with 9 Labradors showing out of the 30+ present for each of the 4 shows. There are 4 shows being conducted in the 2 days and hectic does not adequately describe the pace of  in and out of the rings. Below is a dog by dog account at the 4 shows.

  •    WinQuest Chambray Some Like it Hot (Sammy) lived up to her name, as she was hotter than a chili pepper at the shows this past weekend. Competing from the 3 to 6 Puppy Class with Jessie Herzon as her handler, she was first in her class at all 4 shows. She was awarded Best Of Breed Puppy at show number 1 by defeating the rest of the puppies age 3 to 18 months and then won a Sporting Group 1. Jessie and Sammy then competed at the highest level, Best In Show and were awarded a BEST IN SHOW PUPPY Reserve. She received an SG1's from each of the 4 judges, thus achieving the International Jr. Champion's title.

  •      Chambrays Out Of The Ruff  (Hogan)  continues to impress the judges as he wins the  9 to 12 Jugend Class at all 4 shows. He then wins Best of Puppy at 3 of the shows and also 3 Group Placements in the Sporting Groups. He is awarded 4 SG1's from the judges to achieve his title
