Show News

The National Specialty in Canton, Ohio May 14-18 was the first time the TSCA did a stand alone National Specialty.

Mary judged the National Sweeps on Wednesday and we were not allowed to show at the National Specialty on Thursday.

However Namtrah Tibetan Spaniels did lots of winning for the last three days of the stand alone shows. See ChooChoo, Iris and Ginger pages for photos.

We came with five puppies under the age of 9 months plus Tina was there with Cia and Maggie David. Three of our five had never been in a show ring before: Frankie, Ginger and Milly.

Dec. 5, 2007 Chambersurg Area Kennel Club:

What a weekend for Namtrah Tibetan Spaniels. It was a GREAT turn out of Tibbies with a total of 20 Tibbies. For this small show of 1,020 dogs it was the third largest entry at the show behind Labs (26) and Danes (24). How often does that happen? There were majors in both dogs and bitches with an entry of 7-8 (5-0). Namtrah walked away with Winner's Dog for Gilly, Winner's Bitch for Cybil and the Best of Breed and a Group 1 for Sonny. The two reserve winner's had been sired by Owen and were out of Bonnie Bieber's Starlite Born Ti-Be Wild.

Thank you judge Robert E. Hall for such a rewarding day.

Sonny wins his first Group 1
