2006 HCA SPECIALTY PICTURES
THE SPECIALTY THIS YEAR WAS A VERY EXCITING TIME FOR BELLATAK HAVANESE TO SAY THE LEAST. ALL 4 PUPPIES OUT OF OUR MOLLY AND BUSTER (OWNED BY BARBARA AND MICHELE JOHANNES) BORN FEBRUARY 10, 2006 WERE THERE. I WAS SO HAPPY TO BE SEEING THEM ALL AGAIN AND KNOWING THAT IT MIGHT POSSIBLY BE THE LAST TIME THEY ALL WOULD BE AT THE SAME PLACE AT THE SAME TIME. NEVER IN MY WILDEST DREAMS DID I THINK THEY WOULD ALL DO SO WELL AT THE SHOW TOO!
THERE WERE OVER 140 HAVANESE SHOWN AND DANNY MOORE WAS THE JUDGE AT THE REGIONAL SPECIALTY ON OCTOBER 12, 2006 IN RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. BELLATAK HAVANESE DOGS TOOK VIRGINIA BY STORM! AS HISTORY WAS IN THE MAKING! WINNERS DOG/BEST OF WINNERS/BEST PUPPY BOTH DAYS (CANADIAN CH BELLATAK'S RUDY VALENTINO CALL NAME IS RUDY OWNED BY CHERYL DRAKE), WINNERS BITCH (BELLATAK MY FUNNY VALENTINE CALL NAME IS VALLEE OWNED BY TOM AND I), AND RESERVE WINNERS DOG (BELLATAK CUPIDS ARROW CALL NAME IS POKER OWNED BY ME). NEVER BEFORE HAD WD, WB, RWD AT A HAVANESE SPECIALTY ALL COME FROM THE SAME LITTER.
THANK YOU JUDGE DANNY MOORE!
WHEN I TOLD MR. MOORE HE HAD PICKED 3 PUPS (THE 4TH PUP WAS FLYING IN THAT DAY) FROM THE SAME LITTER FOR HIS PICKS, HE TOO WAS THRILLED WITH HIMSELF, AS HE HAD BEEN VERY CONSISTANT IN HIS CHOICES. TOO BAD FOR OUR BREED THAT MR. MOORE RETIRED THE FOLLOWING WEEK, AS THERE AREN'T MANY JUDGES THAT UNDERSTAND OUR BREED STANDARD. MR. MOORE'S REASON FOR RETIRING THOUGH IS ONE I RESPECT, AS HE WANTED TO HAVE MORE TIME TO BE A DADDY!
THE FOLLOWING DAY'S, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 13, 2006 AND SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14, 2006 WAS THE NATIONAL SPECIALTY JUDGED BY STEVE KEATING. RUDY (CANADIAN CHAMPION BELLATAK'S RUDY VALENTINO) WENT WD/BOW/BP. QUEENIE (BELLATAK'S STEALING KISSES OF DJ) WON 1ST IN HER CLASS OUT OF 35 BITCHES.
RUDY MADE HISTORY AGAIN THAT DAY, AS NEVER BEFORE IN OUR BREEDS HISTORY HAS THE SAME DOG WON WD/BOW/BP BOTH DAYS AT OUR NATIONAL SPECIALTY!
HAVING A LITTER BE SO CONSISTANT IN TYPE AND STYLE IS EVERY BREEDERS DREAM! IT WAS MY DREAM COME TRUE WATCHING THESE BEAUTIFUL PUPPIES, I LOST MY VOICE FROM ALL THE SCREAMING.
HERE ARE SOME PICTURES FOR YOU TO ENJOY!
