Pippin - In the Show Ring
Pippin, a once in a lifetime show dog - Canadian and American National Specialty AOM winner, my first multi Best In Show winner, multi Group 1st winner, #3 Siberian in Canada in 2012, #6 Siberian in Canada in 2014 (1 weekend of showing), and #9 Siberian in Canada in 2009. Best in Veteran Sweeps at almost 9 years of age and a Group 1st win at 10 years of age. In the US besides the 2011 SHCA National AOM win, he finished his championship in 8 shows with 4 majors. He was only shown one weekend in the US as a special (other than the National) but managed to pick up a US Best of Breed with an entry of 22 dogs.

In 2012 I was also able to get Pippin to the world famous Westminster Kennel Club show, my first dog to get to go to this show. Although Pippin was expertly handled by Lyndsay Moxan, he sadly didn't do anything at the show. However, it was certainly exciting to see him there and to have Karen Ramstead send her best wishes to him just before he went into the ring. Karen doing this meant as much, if not more, to me then him doing anything at the show.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS BY YEAR
2017
Feb. 25th: Halifax Kennel Club - Group 1st under judge Judith Byrne. Entry of 35 dogs. Handled by Carola Adams
Pippin came out of retirement from being shown in regular specials class (not veterans class) at CKC shows for the first time since 2014. One of his favourite judges, Judith Bryne, was judging Group (not Show) and I wanted to show her that he still looked great at 10 years of age!
She agreed!! :)

At 7 years of age, Pippin finished his CKC show career at the Halifax Kennel Club show, the first show of the 2014 season. In four shows he took 4 Group 1st wins, 1 Reserve Best in Show and 2 Best in Show wins. I knew I didn't have the money to seriously campaign him again and this was the most incredible weekend of showing that I had in 35 years so I decided he should finish his regular show career "on top". He will still be shown at the occasion show as a veteran (he just loves to be shown too much not to let him to this) and I may still get him to the US or to a few Specialty shows but that will depend on my finances. Here is a video from the Halifax Kennel Club show. A little corny with the music but I still like it a lot. Below you can see highlights of his show record.
Mr. Beech commented on Pippin's "lovely proportions, nice length of leg and how light on his feet he was moving around the ring". :)
