April - Its a relatively quiet month for us, we help out at the Specialty shows for other breeds and do the odd show. Walter is eligible for the Challenge in late April and on his first day in Minor puppy he takes out Best of breed and Minor in Group, earlier in the month while still in baby he takes out a second place in baby sweepstakes and a third in puppy sweepstakes on his first day eligible. Lana also takes out an intermediate in group placing.

March - It begins to cool down. Walter decides he is going to let everyone know he's "arrived" in earnest. He takes out Baby in Show in a super line up. He shows beautifully and receives many lovely comments, during March Walter amasses a lovely ribbon collection with 1 x Baby in show, 4 x Baby in Group, 1 x 1st in sweepstakes and 1 x 2nd in sweepstakes. Lana not keen to be left out of the action takes out an inter in show an Inter in group and also makes the best in group shortlist on many occasions. We head to Sydney Royal with just Vani who does us very proud taking out Res Bitch Challenge  and Puppy of Breed
and a super critique from the Judge.

February - We head down the coast for a few weeks R and R. Walter steps into the show ring, with the finest of Gundog company. He wins two Frist Place in Baby Puppy sweepstakes in a large line-up. He struts his stuff like a true professional. Vani has a super month taking out more Challenges, Best of Breeds and classes in group and in show. We head to the Canberra Royal where Lana takes out Reserve Challenge, Runner up of Breed and is the only GWP to make the short list for any class in show. She does however cavort around the ring like a clown during breed judging, the judge shakes his head and says she is naughty but also says how much he likes her.

Our results include 2 x Baby in Show (Vani was only eligible the last 2 days of the 9), 1 x Neuter in Show (Granny Annie), 7 x Neuter in Groups (Granny Annie - lets not mention the one she missed out on, she was clearly depressed at not getting a ribbon).

News 2013

December – Time to start winding down for a break and winding up for Xmas celebrations – We don’t show much in December, Lana takes out a Puppy in show, it’s the first time Rae shows Lana while Fiona watches from the sidelines with an injury – luckily for Rae she is awarded Puppy in show with Lana – not before she receives instructions as long as your arm!

November – As the year winds down we do head to a few more shows, soon it will to too hot for human and canine to show. The dogs will turn their hand at some obedience training. Before we settle back for the Xmas break we do what we love – show off our kids. Lana again has a stellar month (she’s getting a reputation for being a “fingie addict)” taking our six puppy in group awards for the month. Her mother Annie has been quietly racking up Neuter in group awards but decides to show Lana how it’s done – Annie is awarded six neuter in group awards and one neuter in show award not bad for an old girl! Raj takes a junior in group award, which is a good result considering he follows Lana into the ring for class in group awards, never easy when a dog of the same breed as be awarded the class in group – Raj doesn’t mind he happily plays with Lana’s toys from sweepstakes wins – she however does mind!


October – A super month for our show team, we all meet up for shows in the Southern Riverina. What a weekend – Day 1 Shirelle takes out Best in Group, Day 2 Shirelle is awarded Best of Breed and Intermediate in show, Day 3 Lana takes out Best of Breed, Minor Puppy in Show and 1st in Sweepstakes, Day 4 Lana is again awarded Best of Breed and Minor Puppy in Group – these two girls sure know how to have fun. Raj has to be content with Dog challenge on 3 of 4 days. It’s a super month for Lana with one class in show and five classes in group (she even had a hat trick – three consecutive days in a row). She also brings up her title at nine months and makes the cut for best in group. As always our dogs are loads of fun in the ring and we get many comments on what characters they are – yep that’s a Hotwyr!


September – With both Raj and Lana both nearing their Australian Championship titles the race is on to see which one gets theirs first. Both youngsters have had strong competition and have done very well winning challenges over mature competition. Raj takes the “chequered flag” titling at eight months and three days old – one of the youngest for the breed. He brings this up in spectacular style by winning Puppy in Group, giving him a two class in groups for the month of September. Lana always a competitive lass takes out two Minor puppy in show, and a minor puppy in group awards – we are so thrilled with the Annie/Ruko kids.


August - Another super month, the youngsters are now showing the older girls how its done. In August both Raj and Lana take out 2 x Puppy in Show and 1 x Puppy in group, receiving many super comments along the way. They continue to make their presence felt in sweepstakes as well with Lana taking out a number of placing including a number of first places. Our biggest thrill is at the very end of August with our young boy Raj taking out the Dog Challenge at DOGS NSW Spring Fair, without a doubt one of the most prestigious shows on the calendar. Even more thrilling is the judge is from Germany (and clearly knows his German Breeds) he awards the lovely Shirelle Best of Breed and Annie neuter of the breed. He is very complementary about all our dogs and was thrilled to award Raj the Dog Challenge over mature competition.

 
 
July - From the moment they hit the show ring the Kiwi girls make their mark. Shirelle (New Zealand Champion Hotwyr Baby its You)  and Liz (New Zealand Champion Korskote Witch and Famous) both girls take out multi Best of Breeds and classes in group. Eager to be part of the show team Lana and Raj add more Baby Puppy in groups to their  total. At the end of July the "Babies" step up the big time and are eligible to compete in the Challenge line up. Raj announces he is ready and takes at a lovely best of breed over mature competition. Lana also does her bit taking out Best Minor Puppy in show under a Gundog specialist.

Also adding to our excitement the "Girls" from Hotwyr New Zealand arrive to join the Australian show team.
 
May - More great times with the kids. Monroe edges ever closer to her Australian Grand Championship by winning over mature exhibits, she continues to be in contention for Best in Group and is frequently shortlisted. The babies Raj and Lana are having a super time in the ring and causing much consternation, judges love them both and tell us either is a super baby. Raj wins 4 more Baby in groups and number of sweepstakes wins and places. Lana decides its her time to win a ribbon and takes home 3 Baby Puppy in groups and also wins and places in sweepstakes. She is a show girl. We are also thrilled that many of this month's wins are under Gundog Judges Internationally and Domestically - a real thrill to get these acknowledgements and accolades. 
 
April - We take a break in April in the early part of the month. Towards the end of the month we do a few shows with Monroe picking up another class in group. On Anzac day we (myself, Rae and the kids - Raj, Lana, and Monroe) head off to the County of Cumberland show, this is our first show with the new kids. Monroe kicks of the day in fine style taking out Best of Breed over mature competition. We finish the day in super style with Raj - Hotwyr Big Bang Theory - taking our Best baby puppy of the Gundog group with some very beautiful babies in the line up. He continues on his winning way taking another Baby Puppy in Group and a 2nd in sweeps during April. Monroe not to be outdone also takes out another Best of  Breed over mature competition.
 
 
March 2013 - In the lead up to the Sydney Royal, March is a traditionally quiet month, before the Royal we head to a couple of shows. Monroe stars again regularly being shortlisted for group along with many other lovely dogs, she adds three more classes in group to her ribbon collection. Time moves so quickly before we know it our "babies" fly the nest to their new homes, two of them will stay in Sydney and one heads of to Victoria. Rae and I decide to run on two puppies, they will make their ring debut in April. As Easter nears, its time to head off to the Sydney Royal Dog show, as its forecast to be a very hot autumn day we opt to only take Monroe, once again she does us proud picking up her forth "Bitch Challenge" at a Royal dog show, making us even prouder is the fact she is the only Australian Bred specimen of our breed to be exhibited! She leaps with unbounded excitment as the judge points the finger at us for best "bitch" shes even more excited as the crowd claps and cheers (probably at her antics!).
 
February 2013 - The five Hotwyr babies and growing in leaps and bounds, all starting to have their own personalities. We just love them all. Our older kids take interest and Stark aka Herman plays regulary with them when he is not strutting his stuff in the showring. February sees Stark become an Australian Champion at a little over 8 months old, beating mature competition he will now be called Aust Ch Hotwyr Game of Thrones (AI). Miss Monroe continues on her winning ways taking out the Bitch Challenge at Canberra Royal dogs show, over strong mature competition. We are thrilled, the judge is very complimentary and says she is a promising youngster. Monroe continues to be noticed in the group line-up and making the "cut" for Best in group is now a regular occurence. She adds another two classes in group to her ribbon collection.
 
January 2013 - The silly season is behind us but as ususal January is another busy month. We enter some shows, we get to some others we dont due to the hot weather. We are confirmed as the Winner of the DOGZONLINE Point Score for our breed for 2012 in both Australia and New Zealand. We take out No1 GWP All Breeds, No1 GWP Best of Breed and No1 GWP Rising Star (overall) with Miss Monroe in Australia and Shirelle aka NZ CH Hotwyr Baby its You in New Zealand - upon checking back on previous years results we realise that no GWP (or Kennel) has ever taken out all three awards in the one year in both Australia and New Zealand - well done to our Miss Monroe and Shirelle, true "showgirls" who give their all in the ring and endears themselves to all they meet. We know we have been competitive in the Rising Star for the Gundog group with Miss Monroe making the top ten for the state and just placing outside the top twenty (21st) for the national score for young gundogs. Shirelle is also in the placings making the top 5 Gundogs in the South Island of New Zealand and just outside the top ten (11th) nationally - not too shabby for a rare breed. True to form Miss Monroe does what she does best and takes out another Group 2 award. Herman is also confirmed No1 GWP Rising Star (male). He has also qualified for the Puppy of the Year (POTY) competition to be held in late January. We dont make it to POTY as our lovely English Lass - Annie whelps 5 strong, chunky babies (four girls and one boy). Lucky for us Rae is in town to visit so she gets to share in the excitment. There will be many more exciting times ahead as Rae has now made the move permanently from NZ. Excitment abounds when over in New Zealand Liz aka Lizzy, Elizabeth, Biffers, NZ CH Korskote Witch and Famous is confirmed in whelp to NZ CH Hotwyr Lock Stock and Barrel aka Young Wyatt. Babies will be bounding about in early March - we are all thrilled.
