17.08.10: So the ball is still rolling, another lovely couple of weeks for our team. Brisbane Royal Show Best of Breed and Making the Final cut for Best in Group was our Lovely bitch Conchita, Ch Jencol Tripped Ona Star, handled beautifully by my daughter Corina who kept her nerve and witts about her, they make a lovely team and improve every time they enter the ring. I am so proud of you both.

Sunday 15th Aug, after a long long long day at Brisbane Royal the previous day, Corina kicked me out of bed and made me attend the Gundogs and Heavy Breeds Club Show. Oh so very glad she did! Under Collie Specialist Donna Morris (Swinbrad Collies) Taj, Ch Jencol Thrills Not Frills collected his first Best in Group, after knocking at the door the past few weeks. Not to be done with that, he was then awarded Intermediate in Show by Marilyn Hoy (NSW). Thank You Ladies for thinking so highly of our boy!

Finally to add: Hugest of Congratulations to the Lovely Elizabeth Lasry on her Best in Show with Hero at Royal Brisbane Show! It was lovely to spend the day with you and all Hero's other groupies xoxo.

3.08.10: We have been on a roll the last few weeks, now we hope it can continue into a new month. To finish off a successful July, on Saturday Taj collected another Runner up in Group (Best in Group 2) and Intermediate in Group, with Conchita collecting the Reserve of Breed and Baby Eva was Baby of Breed. Holding his own, Tristan (our Sheltie, Elenbah Tri Umphant) collected Best of Breed.

To start the new month, Tristan stepped up to the plate with Best of Breed and Runner Up in Group (Best in Group 2) under Sheltie specialist Maureen Gostelow. Whilst Taj was Best of Breed it was Conchita who held the Smoothie end up and collected Aust Bred in Group. Eva is going from strength to strength with another Baby of Breed win.

26.07.10: Another successful weekend for the show team, in 3 shows: Taj collects 1 x BIG 2 and 3 x BOB, Conchita 3 BCC and RUBOB, Trissy 1 x RCC and 3 Class wins, and little Eva collected 2 x Baby Puppy of Breed. They are all exceeding our expectations!

21.07.10: Well what a lovely weekend away we had last weekend. The dogs all far exceeded our expectations. Taj Came home with 3 x BOB, 2 x BIG 2, Consolation to Best in Show and an Intermediate in Show! Conchita 3 x RUBOB, Tristan 2 x RCC with Becky handling and the new comer to the team, Eva, finally learnt to walk on a lead by the third day and was awarded for her good behaviour with a Baby in Group. Many thanks to all those who congratulated us and huge thanks to my fellow campers for all there help and fabulous company.

11.07.10: Its been a few weeks since I last checked in. Dogs all doing well, had a couple of weeks off, both myself and the dogs enjoyed a chance to relax. Since coming back into the ring Taj and Conchita continue to blitz the Smooth Collie ring in Queensland, Conchita as of today is Number 1 Smooth Collie Best of Breed leader in Queensland and the Country! Taj is Number 2 Smooth Collie Best of Breed leader in Queensland and Number 3 in the Country. To say they are doing their heritage proud is an understatement. Not Only do we have the number 1 and number 3 Collie Smooth in the country (as per Dogzonline Pointscore) but 'Jencol ' is currently the top breeder in the country!

Looking forward to the up coming shows, which will include the debut of Eva, our evil child who thinks the whole world is her uhmmmmm feed lot.

18.6.10: well we finally feel at home in Qld, Many thanks to those who have made us feel welcome. We have finally been venturing out to shows, Taj and Conchita generally take turns collecting the Best of Breed's but this weekend past we had a ball! At the Collie Rough and Smooth Club of Qld, Zeta reminded everyone that she was still here and handled by Corina collected Runner up Best in Show, just because they could both Taj and COnchita collected there respective classes in Show. Not to be out done, at the afternoon specialty, Taj stepped up to the plate and repeated her performance also collecting Runner Up Best in Show, Opposite Sex in Show and again was Intermediate in show.

We have  also got to give a big Welcome to our newest addition: Carluke Only Makebelieve aka Eva. We are looking forward to her being old enough to  be out and about. She is sired by Ch Carluke By Design out of the well performed Ch Carluke Flirtwth Noskirt. Eva will be handled by Corina most of the time. Many Thanks to Mum and Kate for allowing Eva to join our show team.
