Some basic stuff about me...

I am Sky - my full name is Spicemill Atlanta Night Sky as registered with The Kennel Club.

I was born on the 4th July 2009 as one of the Spicemill 'American' litter. I have 2 Sisters (all black & gold) & 7 Brothers (5 black & gold and 2 blond) [more].

My mum is Pines Piccolo avec Spicemill (Venka) [more] and my Dad is Apoll von de Reezegeischder (Apoll) [more]. My Breeders are Spicemill [more].

I am a Black & Gold Hovawart. My breed originates from Germany. We are a fairly large dog with semi-long hair.

The name "Hovawart" comes from the German words meaning: the farm / estate guardian. We are general purpose working dogs, calm in the house but full of energy outside or working. Some say we are clever dogs able to learn a lot.

I am therefore hoping to become a qualified Air Scenting Search Dog with SARDA Meridian with Stuart as my handler.

Sky In Her First Dog Show

 
I went to my first ever dog show yesterday 20th February 2010- National Working And Pastoral Breeds Society Unbenched Open Show in Coventry .

Stuart entered me into the Class for Hovawart Juniors & the Rare Breads Open Class.

James and Caroline did not make fun and were very, very helpful.

I was a top girl and behaved brilliantly all day.  I worked well on the lead in the ring.  Stuart had the lead too tight in my first class but he did better on the second and I was able to trot nicely along with him.  The only problem I had initially was that I wasn't too keen in the Judge examining me.  Also the Judges expect me to stand and having been told to sit all the time at my dog training classes I am starting to think humans are particularly stupid.  Do they want sit, down or stand - wish they'd make up their minds!

I was Reserved in my first class, which is posh for last place I think!  I definately came last in the second class as they didn't even give me a reserve that time!

I don't mind at all because now Stuart and I know what we need to work on for the next show.  Also I was one of the two youngest dogs there.  When I am full size I think I will stand a better chance.
