2007 Data for Shows
In total 16 Icelandic Sheepdogs have been shown across Canada, (Icelandics were shown in Ontario, Sask, Alberta, and B.C.), These dogs were shown at 96 Shows in CKC.
We were pleased to see a few of the dogs from Last year out in 2007, but even more exciting was the most of the dogs shown were new ISD in 2007, and the club is aware of at least six up and coming show dogs due to come into the CKC show rings in 2008, so we are looking forward to seeing the amount of dogs shown reach over the 20 mark and lets hope that we can get over the 100 shows mark in 2008!! So lets all have fun and get out to the shows this year!
Into the Canadian Breed History Books, we have earned our First Female Group Placement, and our First Best Puppy in Group in CKC 2007.
2006 Data for Shows
In total 14 Icelandics have been shown in Canada since we were allowed in the CKC Show Ring as of March 1st 2006. They have been shown a total of 94 times across Canada (Ontario, Sask, and Alberta)
The Club could not be more pleased to see this many ISD out into the show rings across Canada.
Into the Canadian Breed History Books, we have earned our First Male/Female Championships, and our First Group 3rd (2) and 4th placements with a Male Icelandic in 2006.
Once again the Canadian Icelandic Sheepdog Club is proud to being you our Therapy Dog of the Year, it is a wonderful example of how good our breed's temperment is that we have a number of active new Therapy Dogs each year to choose from. Pineridge Kolperla has been involved with working with children/Teenagers since she was a puppy and she continues her good works as a adult.
