February 2007
"Je oller je doller!" (a saying in our area that means something like: The older the crasier) Kylie surching for mouses in the field. Just a few minutes before she looked ...
In the meantime 7 of Kylies sons and daughters are Champions! At least 2 from every litter:
Owner: Helma van Wieringen, NL
Mortimer is Kylies most successful son in the show ring. Between 2003 and 2007, beside many titles, every year he also wins "Best in Show" and/or "Best in Group".
Mortimers offspring in the ring are so far:
KFT-, Lux- + CH Jgd. Ch. Ciceron della Roccacia di Modigliana (B.+O:
Raoul le Pelletier, F) and KFT-, VDH- + Lux Jgd. Ch. Redcliff Red Label
(B+O: Sascha Breuer, D).
Owner: Marianne Roos-Otten, NL (Gulabin's)
Magic visited us from end 2003 to 2005 for being shown by me. His stay was remarkably sussessful. Beside many international titles and "Best in Show" he gained all German daytitles on offer in 2005.
Two of his sons already went "Best in
Show":
Ch. From Dash Mountain Farm's Mascot Man (B+O: Gerda van Stuivenberg,
NL) and J. Ch. Rose's Crackerjack (B: Hermann Vehreschild, O:
Hannelore Wilhelm-Krischke), again handled by me.
Owner: Helma van Wieringen, NL
Nick is not so enthusiastic in the show ring and beside that he often had to respect his older half brothers Mortimer and Magic. Therefor he was not shown that often. Allthough he also gained D-, VDH- and NL Ch. and best of breed.
Nick's most successful son is KFT- + VDH Jgd. Ch, D. Ch. Aaron von der Westerweide (B: Martina Blumreiter, O: Roswitha Laufenberg), who also already went best of breed.
Owner: M. Achterbosch + Gerda van Stuivenberg, NL (From Dash Mountain Farm's)
beside her show record (D Ch, VDH Ch, NL Ch, Int. Ch.) Esprit developed to be a major brood bitch at the From Dash Mountain Farm's kennel.
Her daughters From Dash Mountain Farm's Look Again, From Dash Mountain Farm's Moonflyer and also her granddaughter From Dash Mountain Farm's Let's Look already are KFT- and NL Jgd. Ch.
Owner: Maren Bichel
Nellie succeeds her mother Kylie being the leader of our Scottie family. Nellie deserves the same in the ring - in her opinion. Beside her several International titles, in 2007 she wins the European Winner and the Club Winner each with best of breed.
From her 1st. litter Sir Darnley's Portia Powderkeg (O: Petra Detemple) is shown sporadically. From her 2nd. litter Sir Darnley's Splendid Spark (O: Anne + Thomas Kühl, DK) is waiting to start in Denmark.
Owner: Rainer Schnock + Maren Bichel
Coming from youth class Orla went Best in Show in Limburg and Best Youth all breeds CACIB Kassel. Alltogether she was until now 11 x best of breed, 3 x Best in Show. Beside other titles she went 2006 VDH Century Winner, again with BOB.
Orlas 1st. litter is shown completely.
Sir Darnley's Rambling Ruby (O: Maren Bichel) already gained, at the age of only 13 months, KFT- + Lux. Jgd. Ch., Europa-Jgd. Sieger, 5 x BOB (incl. ES!), 2 x Best Junior in Show and 2 x best low legged Terrier.
Sir Darnley's Ragtime Rookie (O: Hannelore Wilhelm-Krischke) is KFT Jgd. Ch. and Sir Darnley's Rhythm Reggae (O: Nicole Meissner + Horst Reifert is raring to go.

Olivia "privatly" lives in the family of my friend Gaby Matheisen not far but she also is a full member of our Scottie family.
Aside from her titles she was until now 6 x BOB, Best in Show OG Bad Homburg 2006 and best of the day + Res. Best in Show all breeds VDH Rheinberg 2007.
Olivias son Sir Darnley's Qubic Q is living with us in Grevenbroich. At the age of only 20 months Q already had a remarkable show career:
KFT-, VDH- + NL Jgd. Ch, DK Ch, Lux. Ch, Bundes Jgd. Sieger'07, Kopenhagen Winner'07, Europasieger'08.
For many titles he already won enough tickets, he is just too young to complete. Additionally he went 9 x BOB and 2 x 2nd. in Terrier Group on CACIB shows.
July 2007
Kylie watchs me working at the computer.
Also as a "veteran" Kylie enters the show ring - just because she enjoys it so much: Moving with enthusiasm, barking and telling everybody how much fun it is! Many friends will remember her like this.
In 2007 - at the age of 10 years - she wins a CAC in the Netherlands, in Denmark she is 2 x Best Veteran in Show.
By this Kylie gained the yellow rosette for being Denmarks 3rd. best Veteran of the year!
Afterwards Kylie retired and left the show ring to her offspring.
Later in 2007 Kylie got ill. Diagnosis: Bladdercancer. Prognosis: bad. Surgery or not? A hard time where we try to find the right solution for Kylie. Finally we decide against a surgery. Too big is our fear because in all probability a surgery would show that the cancer already is too far advanced.
Kylie gets Metacam (a pain killer that also blocks or slow down the tumor growing) and intervalic antibiotics.
Picture above, f. l. t. r.: Q, Orla, Kylie and Ruby.
Kylie still is the boss of our Scottie family. Her daughter Nellie has just taken over the "daily ordinary police work".
We try to make Kylies life as comfortable as possible. She loves to accompany us to the horses - alone, without the other Scotties. Here she loves to steal carrots, apples and of course the cats food.
No words to say how sad we are that this great Scottie lady is no longer with us.
She will live on in her children and gandchildren, this is our comfort. But Kylie will never be forgotten!
Kylie died 16.06.2008.
