Rave has started the 2007 year off with great successes. I would like to thank Cheryl Stuber for the Group 1 and Paul Stanton for the RBIS on Saturday, Feb 3, 2007. I would also like to thank Christine Hubbell (Breeder/Judge) for the Group 2 on Sunday. 

Thank you Ladies and Gentlemen for
making Rave’s 2007 start a glowing
success and for your comments about Rave. 


FLASH!!! Rave takes Best In Show, July 30, 
2006 under respected Judge Anita Cairns. 


Rave was awarded Best Of Opposite Sex at the 
Cdn. National Specialty Aug 5, 2006. Thank you 
Lester Mapes for recognizing Rave’s potential.


Rave, working as a team with Marni, was awarded 
a 5 pt major win and 2 5pt major RWD while doing
the Copper Circuit in Montana June 2006. 

 


Rave's show career as a puppy was beyond expectations and has continued into his early months as a young adult. Rave has won multiple group placements, of which many have been Group 1s which have lead to multiple Reserve Best In Shows under Maxime Beem, Doug Windsor and Paula Hartinger.

A special thank you to the respected Judges who have recognized this young boy’s potential and to the Handlers who have teamed with Rave for his major accomplishments – Kim Cowie, Professional Handler; Scott Leitz, Professional Handler; Marni Kueber, one of Rave's favorite people and myself. 

I trust that the 06 show year for Rave, as an adult, will prove just as exceptional and exciting!

Ch ValbyDane MakeMeWetMakeMeSweat (Miya)

(Pedigree)


 

It took awhile for this young girl to come into herself and get into the ring, but when she did she made herself known. 

A special thank you to respected Judges Sharon Derrick and Robert Verhulst for her Best of Breed and Group 4 win her first time out as a special as well as to those judges who recogized Miya's potential at the class level. 

A special thank you to Scott Leitz, Professional Handler, and Erin Verway for aiding me in handling Miya at the shows and 2005 Western Division Regional Specialty.

Miya is loved by Kari Olsen-Christensen (and family) and Peggy Mignon. 

 




"ValbyDane Wicked & Undeniable" (aka Tonka)

(Pedigree)


This young mad decided that he would be the performer for his first show weekend out and definitely provided the entertainment for the exhibitors. If there had of been a ribbon for the "Best Comic Relief" I am sure Tonaks would have won this award for the weekend. Than you to respected Judge Sue-Ellyne Rempel for looking past the puppy behaviour and recognizing this your Danes potential.

Tonka was shown sparingly and was just over a year when he obtained his Championship, much to the relieve of his owner Margaret who was beginning to despair of him ever settling down enough. Settle down he did but always laying beneath was that puppy spark just waiting to ignite if given the opportunity.

Thank you to respected Judge Don Emslie on looking past the puppy ness and saw the potential of this young man. 

Tonka is enjoying the retired life from the shows and being a great companion and having fun playing with his German Shorthair friend and doggy roomy. 

Wrapped around Tonka's paw is his loving owner Margaret Hurcelson of Fort McMurray, Alberta. 

Tonka is professionally presented by his breeder Peggy Mignon, and occasionally by Marni Kueber. 

 




"Ch ValbyDane To Hot To Handle" (aka Diesel)

 (BISS Am Can PR Ch Larlyn's Young Lad Dakota Blue x

(Pedigree)


What a show weekend for this young boy! Not only did he start out in grand style, but he finished in it as well. His first time out in the Show Ring and he takes Best of Winners, Best of Breed, Best Puppy in Breed and a Group 4th. Thank you Merlin Vanderkinder for Diesel's Best of Breed and Group 4th placement at such a young age!

Unfortunately Diesel decided, in the Puppy Group ring, he was going to show us all the he definitely was a puppy and therefore the Puppy Group was awarded to a verly lovely and deserving Boxer puppy.......oh well, perhaps another time and show might see him with a Puppy Group.

For the rest of the weekend, Diesel Took Winners Dog/Best of Winners/Best Puppy in Breed to complete his championship. Nothing like following in his uncle Rogue's pawprints (BISS ValbyDanes Metis Uprising) who completed his championship in one show weekend as well.
 

Another time, another show and Diesel won his Best Puppy in Group at the Saamis Kennel Club show in Medicine Hat!. 
He was just full of himself at this show and made many new friends with his outstanding and outgoing personality. He had no qualms about going to visit people and just having a great time overall. 

Many thanks to respected Judge Phyllis Wolfish for Diesel's puppy group win.

Diesel lovingly owns Steven, Christa and Brooke Arseneault Family, Calgary, Alberta 

Diesel is professionally presented by his breeder and handler Peggy Mignon, who also loves him!
