Jozi is my first champion. She was sold as a pet but came back to live with us at 8 1/2 months, as she was too lively for her family.
One of her first shows was the British Elkhound Open show, Sept 2000 where she won four classes, and was Best Puppy in show. She only attended one Championship show as a puppy, and was Best Puppy winning both Puppy and Junior.
2001 was her year where she won 14 out of 16 classes entered at Championship shows, finishing the year with her Title, 5CCs (3 with BOB) and 1RCC, starting with reserve Best in Show at the British Elkhound Championship show, being the second top winning Elkhound that year.
She continued to do well, winning the Champion Stakes at Windsor, and a Group Two at SWKA Ch show 2002, other notable wins in 2003, and 2004! She went Reserve Best in Show (her Dad was Best In Show) at the Norwegian Elkhound of Great Britain 2004 Open show, also a Group 3 at Three Counties Ch. show. 2005 added another 2RCC’s to her total between maternal duties.
Now having 10CCs (5 with BOB), and 5RCCs, and a CACIB, RCACIB, RCAC, Res. Green Star, and a Group Two and Three place at UK Championship shows.
