Showing
We started showing our first two boys Flint and Fel in 1998 and quickly got the bug, helped along by Feldspar getting Best Puppy in Breed at the Midland Counties Championship dog show under breed specialist Tracey Pittock. Our showing career really took off with Fya though (UK/Can Ch. Huskidoo Lesmok Mhofyr of Shaytaan). Fya won consistently through puppy and junior, but we were still very shocked to get our first CC with him at Crufts in 2003 under breed specialist Brunette Greenland. To get a green card at the worlds biggest dog show is a dream for most people, to get it only 5 years into the breed and it to be your first EVER green card is pretty unbelievable! That is a day we will certainly never forget. Fya went on to have a wonderful show career in the UK, gaining CC's from Tracey Pittock, Chris McRae and Sue Blake, as well as numerous RCC's and also winning Reserve Best in Show at the SHGCB Northern Show followed the same year by Best in Show at the SHCGB Southern show. We then retired him from the ring in the UK to concentrate on our first girl Poppy (Penkhala's Poppaea of Shaytaan J.W.) Poppy is an extremely pretty and typey bitch who we are very lucky to own. She also did very well in the UK showring winning RCC's under Sarah Robinson and Julie Baldwin and also qualifying for her Junior Warrant.
Since moving to Canada we haven't shown as much as the judges over here are all all-rounders, but we were thrilled to finish Fya's Canadian Championship in 2006 making him the first and only Siberian UK/CAN Ch. We will continue to show our dogs and have quite a few with Canadian show points, so hopefully the next Champion isn't too far away!
Here are a selection of show results and critiques for some of our dogs. A brief explanation for those of you in the USA/Canada. In order to become a UK champion, a dog has to win three Challenge Certificates under three different judges. To win a CC, a dog has to win either best dog or best bitch at the show. There are no separate champion or specials classes in the UK, so in order to win best dog or bitch you have to beat all the entered Champions too. It's pretty difficult to make up a UK champion! For instance, in winning his first 3 CC's, Fya beat 523 other Siberians.

Judge Mark Theaker (Huskidoo)
Fya March 2003 CC Entry 264 Siberians Mid Limit Dog (16 entries) 1st Veale & Cooke’s Ch. Huskidoo Lesmok Mhofyr of Shaytaan A very important sounding name for a very special dog. Really outstanding 3 year old. Has really come into his own. Most beautiful looking dog of a glorious red colour. I could not fault him. His naughty mischievous nature, so typical of the breed, sparkled in his eyes, giving his owner a difficult task which she handled well. Head to die for, conformation outstanding. Coat wonderful, movement spot on. I loved him and was delighted to give him his first CC. What more can I say!
