2020 in Review

What a weird year!  We had big plans for 2020, but COVID-19 had other things in mind  So, though we started the conformation show year off strong, in the end most of the season was cancelled and we were only able to make it to a very few weekends.  Even so, we are very proud that Marvin ended 2020 as the #7 Toy Dog in Canada, with two Reserve Best in Shows in as many weekends as well as a fistful of group wins. Not to be outdone, little brother John ended 2020 as the #2 (All-Breed) and #3 (Breed) Toy Manchester in the United States, shown beautifully by his handlers, Ellen and Matt Perry for owners Donna Young and David Horowitz  Though his year was interrupted to a large degree, he did manage to win a large specialty in January at Palm Springs and finished strong with Best of Opposite Sex at the AKC/Royal Canin show in Orlando.  Finally, a couple of our young dogs made it briefly into the ring, with Shadow managing to finish her American championship piloted by Carol Prykosz and Carolyn Horowitz while Dylan made it into the ring in Canada just one day and picked up a nice Group 2nd and a big Best Puppy in Sweeps from an entry of over 60 promising puppies.

I was super proud of the team effort on the performance side of things as well. Taking advantage of some of the activities designed perfectly for our new socially distanced reality, several of our dogs (and their owners!) earned performance titles. Our new Trick Dog titlists included Dylan, Miley, Buzz and Denzel. Corey and Denzel also picked up three agility titles, Jacquie and Marvin  earned a Rally title, and Regina and Quest earned two virtual Nosework titles.  Scroll down to the bottom of the page to see some videos of our trick dogs in action!!!

As the year draws to a close, we are collectively looking ahead to 2021 and, hopefully, a return to normal.  We have a number of promising young dogs coming up, including the lovely young Eclair, a small Standard-bred bitch I am lucky enough to co-own with Carolyn Horowitz. I am also looking forward to a fun journey as a co-owner alongside Corey Titon on Major (Kyon's Legend Has It), a beautiful Norwegian Buhund bred by Karin Klouman. And if we're really lucky, perhaps we may be blessed with the pitter-patter of little paws in 2021.  Until then, I send big love, hugs and thanks to all of my friends, co-owners, co-breeders and fellow Manchester fanciers. I hope all of you stay safe and look forward to seeing everyone again.

With love,
​Amanda

  • #7 Toy Dog and  #1 Toy Manchester Terrier in Canada for 2020
  • 2 Reserve Best in Show and multiple Group wins

Marvin did it all in 2020, moving easily from conformation to performance venues.  He is a hard working fella with a devoted owner whose training and performance piloting earned him two trick dog and one rally title.  He and Amanda also had a great year in conformation at the few shows we were able to squeeze in and we are so proud of his standing among Canada's top Toy dogs. In 2021, Marvin and Jacquie will be hitting the obedience ring and continuing their work in rally and trick dog.

Denzel didn't make it to any conformation shows this year, but he and his owner Corey Titon used their time wisely.Early in the year, they whizzed through the qualifications to become Canada's very first Trick Dog Champion Toy Manchester Terrier.  Though not exactly the same thing as the in person experience, he also had a great showing at the CMTC's first virtual national specialty where he did well in both conformation and the trick dog category.  At just 3 years of age, Denzel is starting to come into his own and we look forward to watching him continue to mature over the next year or so.

  • Best in Puppy Sweepstakes
  • Novice Trick Dog title

Dylan didn't make it to any shows as a puppy and only competed one day of one show this year, but she made us proud nevertheless with a Group 2nd in the regular show and Best in Juvenile Sweepstakes in a large entry of over 60 promising young puppies and dogs. She also earned her Novice Trick Dog title!  Most of all, she snoozed on the couch and raced around the backyard and was, generally, a delightful pain in the backside -- just the way it is supposed to be.

As we head into 2021, we are excited about these up and coming young dogs!
