Of course I am very happy and also proud of the big interest from all over the world!

Thank YOU so much!

Tomorrow we will travel to the east of Germany to visite a double show in Erfurt. After that we will take a small break from shows because of a different event. 

We will report on this shortly.

Her results until now: 4 x shown, 4 x V1 with Jgd. CAC, 2 x best female, 2 x best of breed and additionally 1 x best youth in show!

(Owner: Marianne Roos-Otten, NL) 

Magic was the highlight of the weekend: He went best of breed and best low legged Terrier!

Many thanks to Katrin Grochau who perfectly handled Magic in the competition for best of breed and to Nicole Meissner who always had a helping hand.

The Scottie results and further pictures are to find =>here<=.  

By the way: Just after the judging I have found out why the name of the judge, Mrs. Marja Talvitie from Finland, souded a bit familiar to me. On the worldwinner in Brussels (B) 1995 she was judging the Scottie males.

That time Sir Darnley's Hearts Horizon went V2 in an open class of 15 dogs. He also gained the Res. CACIB and was Vice Worldwinner. 

This was a long time ago!

Finally also our Olivia got her own chapter within the chapter "my Scotties". Please click on the name above. Alternatively you will find her in "The Sir Darnley's" and then "my Scotties".

Until now Olivia has only been shown twice in youth class. In Aachen she went best opposite sex and in Münster she gained her first best of breed and also was best youth in show.

A very promising start!

Of course also this year there always are the complete Scottie results to be found on my site, possibly provided with acceptable pictures. 

The hit rate shows that many visitors are longing for these news so I hurry up where I can.

=>Here<= are the Scottie results from Velbert.

For us the new show season will start next Sunday, 30.01.2005. At the Terrier show in Haan-Gruiten an entry of 20 Scotties is waiting to be judged by Mrs. Eva Vogel. 

Again we have lost a battle - and a real bitter one!

In November 2004 we took Kate into care from her owners. She had a hard inflammation of the underjaw and already problems with the bladder but these were not taken very seriously by the Vets.

After the 2nd. surgery the jaw were alright and now Kate revived. She barked and "talked" like her sister Kylie and enjoyed her new life - without pain! 

But just one week later Kate got more bladder trouble and we had to found out that she had a malignancy in the ureter. Surgery and chemo therapy would have only caused more pain but no quality of life. So - with a very heavy heart - we had to decide to let her go over the rainbowbridge.

We are very, very sad that after all we have lost her. We truly would have loved to give Kate the pleasure of some really nice years.

This brave Scottie girl will always stay in our hearts.

Kate on 16.01.05, the day after the 2nd. surgery

Kate 20.01.05, still happy

Ch. Kiss-Curl Kylie, Kilted Kate, Liquorice Leroy (Owner: Gaby Matheisen), Ch. Magical Mascot (Owner: Marianne Roos-Otten), J. Ch. Nosy Nellie, Olivia Offbeat Obsession und Orla Online Oasis.

Kate is here into care at the moment. Some friends have already met her and will surely be happy to hear very good news: Today Kate survived hopefully her last sugery at the jaws. She has lost 5 teeth and both underjaws are now closed! Many thanks to Vet and tooth specialist Dr. Jochen Krüger from Krefeld!

Sir Darnley's Orla Online Oasis on 05.12.04: Best Junior in show of all breed on the show CACIB Kassel

Many thanks for all the lovely greetings we received! 

Soon I will go on tour "through the guest books" - I promise!

As usual we have celebrated in a very nice ambiance in Rainer's and my familiy. 

On 20.12.04 Esprit won her first CACIB on the international show in Wijchen (NL) and went best opposite sex!

Congratulations to her owner Gerda van Stuivenberg from kennel "from Dash Mountain Farm's"  in the Netherlands. Well done!

Within "my Scotties" Gretna's Gallery has also been updated. 

In the meantime of course the opening of my trimming studio "Dog Styling" in the beginning of January is also being prepared.

And then there is our newest problem child Kate, who is a litter sister to my Kylie.At the moment Kate is here with us "for nursery" and she could need every crossed fingers she could get hold of! Hopefully I can tell her whole story here soon .

Maybe also other owners will send some pictures from their Sir Darnley's?

Go on, I would be very pleased!

=>Here<= you will find Laura's pictures.

Sir Darnley's Orla Online Oasis

It seemed as Orla really wanted to do her best for her grandma Gretna: She moved and moved and moved and convinced the judges!

First under Mrs. Frau Irmgard Vogt she went best of breed. Then Mrs. Martha Heine picked her for best Terrier youth and 2nd in Terrier group (adult). In the end Mr. Dr. Wilfried Peper elected Orla for  best youth of the day!

Until now this is her biggest success and we hope for many crossed fingers for the todays competition for best youth in show who get's the title "Youthwinner Kassel"!

This time there wasn't a very high entry. Just 9 Scotties were shown and more of Gretna's grandchildren were successful:

Sir Darnley's Noble Nicolson (Owner: Helma van Wieringen, NL) won the CACIB and went bester Rüde.

Sir Darnley's Nosy Nellie won the female CACIB.

=>Here<= are the complete Scottie results with further pictures, mostly from the big ring.

Youth Winner Kassel 2004

On our 2nd. visite at the show in Kassel Orla won the competition for  best Youth in show (all breeds)!

This was judged by the president of the VDH (German Kennel Klub), Mr. Uwe Fischer.

We are so proud of our princess - and her grandma would be as well!

Here we have lent the background from  "Roberto-Photo". Unfortunately it is not sharp at all. The official picture will be added later.

Multi Ch. Sir Darnley's Gretna Green

21.07.1992 - 02.12.2004

Yesterday we had to say good bye to our beloved Gretna and let her go over the rainbowbridge. 

It is a big present that we were allowed to live with this wonderful dog for 12 1/2 years and it is a mercy that she didn't had to suffer much.

Until last week she still was totally fit, so her sudden death really was unexpeted.

We are endlessly sad and at the same time thankful that she will live on in her children and grandchildren.

She was such a great Scottie!

She will never be forgotten!

Of course we are also very proud for our little princess!

=>Here<= are the complete Scottie results with more pictures.

Of course she is more interested in our "tigers" Maunzi and Felix than in the big 4-legged!

For the first time I met the Flamangs on my first Terrier show in March  1984. The outcome of this is a very special friendship.

Congratulations to his proud owner Helma van Wieringen.

=>Here<= are the complete Scottie-results.

In order to distract Magic from this attractiv fragrance we took him with us to the horses. He always enjoys to be on the farm but of course is dissabpointed that he is not allowed to hunt cats and fowls. But on Djurre's back Magic is feeling quite comfortable.

As a puppy Hazel (V: Ch. Respect Engineer, M: Ch. Sir Darnley's Busy Buzzy) survived a hard parvo virus infection. Because of all the medicine she had received that time, I would have never thought that she could reach a "normal" age. Now Hazel has liver cancer which is treated completely homeopathic. 

Last year when her companion Chip died (Sir Darnley's Countdown Chip, V: Ch. Pendlehill Magnus, M: Sir Darnley's Bumble Bee), she really lost condition. But now she recovered nicely to a hardheaded but first of all happy lady - at the age of nearly 12 years.

This mainly is due to her owner Yvette Sacre. She adores Hazel and Chip and looked after them perfectly!

Thank you sooo much Yvette!!!

Nellie's page among "my Scotties" has been completed - in the end she has grew up inbetween!. So her titles and some pictures were fit in.

Also most overdue: Our youngest starlet got her own page within "my Scotties".
