Admiration Wins Again
Admiration wins again at the “Desert to the Sea Dog Fanciers'” ALL BREED FUN MATCH this past weekend at the Hotel Claremont! What a fun day playing with our Poodle puppies. Elizabeth Conway, new owner to “Admiration Dallas at Falcon Crest” aka “Dallas” and I had so much fun watching Dallas get so excited and happy about being out, strutting his stuff. Dallas gave a big “Hello” to everyone he encountered. What a show puppy! Chelsey was a little star in the ring, loving every minute.
We had many laughs watching little Chinese Shar Pei puppies and French Bulldog puppies, HOW CUTE!
Stephanie, Admiration’s grooming assistant, was the photographer that day. What a good job she did! We are looking forward to our next Dog Show day out with the gang. Hope you enjoy this little Slide Show.

Male Standard Poodle Gets Major: Fletcher
Special Announcement!
Well all that grooming and primping at Admiration Ranch is paying off! Fletcher got a Major at the Sand to Sea Non-Sporting Association Show in Indio yesterday. Fletcher showed like a rock star! He’s such a calm cool kid but when he gets in that ring STAND BACK AND WATCH! We are so proud of him! The day was so gorgeous and skies were so clear at the beautiful Polo Club where the show is held. Both Fletch and I had fun. We look forward to doing it again tomorrow!
Valri’ and Mimi are Top at UKC
Admiration Charmed I’m Sure (Valri’) obtained her UKC Grand Championship status and is now holding steady at #2 UKC Standard Poodle in the world. Her sister, Admiration Come Fly with Me (Mimi) just took Breed (Best Standard Poodle) in a recent UKC dog show over 11 other females.
The United Kennel Club (UKC) classifies the Standard Poodle in their Gun Dog group. Showing a Poodle at UKC shows differs from showing a Poodle in AKC shows in that Poodles don’t have to have the “fancy hair cut”, known as a Continental, and one cannot be a professional Handler. UKC recognizes many unusual breeds that are not recognized by the AKC. Shows are lots of fun and is a good family activity to get involved in.
Congratulations Valri’ and Mimi!
Admiration Takes Best Brace in Show at PCA National ’09
Jacki, Mimi and Valri accepting awards
As many of you know by now, Jacki Panzik took Best Brace in Show at the PCA National Show in Maryland last week. (PCA = Poodle Club of America). That means she and our girls, Admiration Charmed I’m Sure, “Valri” and Admiration Come Fly With Me, “Mimi” – standing next to Jacki are considered the Best Poodle Brace Team in the country and they’ll go down in history.
This win makes us very proud, indeed.
A Brace (def: 2 of a kind) is where a Handler takes 2 dogs into the show ring and the judging is based on the synchronization of the 2 dogs and the Handler. Both of the beautiful white Poodles are sisters and are our own breeding from our beloved Ch Admiration Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, “Trinity”. Mimi and Valri reside in Allentown, New Jersey with their mommy, Lucy Tyler an Olympic Medalist (cycling 1996) and daddy, Frank Geck.

THANKS YOU’S
We’d like to thank Lucy Tyler & Frank Geck, who take such wonderful care of our Valri & Mimi. And we’d most certainly wish to thank and acknowledge the Judges, Donald Sturz & Jordan Chamberlain for this honor. Special acknowledgment goes out to David Mosdale for his grooming and coaching talents. We had a wonderful time and are looking forward to next year.
Valri’s First Championship
We’re so thrilled! Lovely Valri got her first title as Show Champion with the United Kennel Club. Here’s the wonderful email her mommy had sent to us along with her certificate. Mimi’s next…
“Hi. The first of the girls’ official UKC Championship certificates arrived
in the mail today. It is attached. Mimi’s won’t be far behind. She
finished her Championship with 300 points (!) at the shows in Manassas, VA.
As I think I told you, Valri’ already has 4 of the 5 requisite Champion wins
towards her Grand Championship. She’s actually won Champion of Champions 6 shows in a row, but 2 of them were 1 Champion short for points. We’re doing a cluster of UKC shows in April and/or May. That should seal the deal for Valri’s Grand C’ship and Mimi is bound to leap forward as a Champion, too.
“We have 2 AKC shows this week-Thursday 3/19 and Friday 3/20 in Edison, NJ at the Raritan Center. Historically, the entries haven’t been very high at
these shows but this year they are both majors. There are 15 open bitches
and 2 Special bitches entered each day. In NJ, it only takes 11 bitches for
a 3 point major. Both of these girls are in heat. It is the 3rd time for
each of them-they are overachievers. At least it will be out of the way in
time for PCA.
“Hope things are good at Admiration Ranch!
Love, Lucy”
