The Best Junior Amstaff

You are looking at the Best Junior Amstaff. =)
(In Swedish) Resultat: 1a Kv, 1a Kk, HP

The show yesterday went great to say the least. When no longer competing in the puppy class, all dogs are first judged after their quality. Receiving a number 1 score (red ribbon) is the best they can get. All the dogs that receive a “1” will continue to the competition part where they will compete against each other. James’ show results ended like this: Quality – 1st prize, Competition – 1st prize and an HP prize which is short for Honour Prize. He became the Best Junior Amstaff which meant we had to stay until the end of the day for the finals. In the final he got a chance to compete against all the other Terriers who had won and who had become the best junior in their respective breed groups (this was an all Terrier Show). We were about 20 juniors in the final and they only keep 5, unfortunately we were not one of the lucky 5. Oh well, we had done so fabulously well already...so no sad faces over here.

The Amstaff judge was Anne Klaas from Estonia (Estland på svenska). And here are the comments she gave James:

Good type and size. Strong head with strong muzzle. Bite OK. A bit loose lips. Strong neck and topline. Good bones. Good angulation. Excellent coat and color. Moves with temperament, a bit loose in front. Needs time.

Once again, it was our fabulous handler Marina who showed James. It is thanks to her Jay keeps scoring as well as he does, for sure. THANK YOU, Marina! You’re the best!

Moi, showing James in the final as our handler already had left... Ain't that a sight or what!!!!hehehehe....


This is James' very beautiful half sister, Tequila. They have the same gorgeous father so no wonder they turned out the way they did. =) Tequila did excellent at the show too, winning her group and receving a CK (=Champion quality).

You might not know everything your dog does...

These people were always finding water all over their pool deck and furniture every time they came home after being away for a few hours. They thought the neighborhood kids were waiting for them to leave and using the pool. However, they could never catch them doing it. So, they set up their video cam and left. This is what they found…… Check out the video clip below.

This could so totally be my young son (a.k.a. James) - he's crazy about water and scared of nothing! He would love this....

I'm a TV freak!



Are you a TV freak just like me? I don’t watch TV as much as I used to ... but I still love to watch some good old comedies when they air.

Some of the old ones that I keep watching reruns of are:

Scrubs
Makes me laugh my butt off even if I have seen the same episode several times before.

Sex & the City
Well hello... this is a cult show. I LOVE IT!

Will & Grace
I never watched this show when it first came out; it’s more recent that I have started watching it and it is HILARIOUS! Especially Jack, Karen & Rosario. =)

Friends
Such an amazing crew; all characters are funny and quirky in their own way.

My name is Earl

As dumb and fun as can be. =)

Married with children
I mean, how can this ever get boring?
