SGCh Gin/Zan's Nighttime In Iceland "Boreal"Bred by Zan
Points: 34 Boreal is now Supreme Grand Champion! 22/10/20 Boreal is my first experience of the Cirrutopia Husky OW and comes courtesy of Zan through TFM. I fell in love! Boreal's colour scheme and fluffiness work so well for a creature from the cold. At first, his name made me think of the Aurora Borealis, but I learned that boreal actually describes a specific cold climate and the forests that grow there. How perfect! Boreal is a big playful softie and though his showname suggests chilly darkness, it also hints at the illumination of northern lights and stars found in Boreal's twinkling eyes and shiny patches (yes siree!). I can't wait to continue Boreal's lines and see more of what this OW can do!

SGCh Gin's Dame Sans Merci "Belle" SGCh Diamonds x SGCh MarstonPoints: 34 Belle is now Supreme Grand Champion! 24/10/20 Belle is the daughter of two of my favourite champs ever, Diamonds and Marston. I love traditional Dalmatian colouring but with a twist, which in Belle's case, is her fuzziness that she has inherited from her father. She is named for her blue eyes (bluebell), but also after a location in Red Dead Redemption 2 (Shady Belle), a theme also inherited from her father. As a shady or suspicious Belle, I took her showname from the Keats poem 'La Belle Damn Sans Merci', about a knight that is bewitched to his doom by a beautiful but wicked lady (classic). Of course Belle the Dogz dog is far too sweet and innocent for such an association to be taken too seriously ... but then again it is coming up to Halloween ... and maybe it would be wise not to look into her eyes ...

SGCh Gin's Beautiful, Yet Terrific "Thunderstorm" Points:32 Thunderstorm is now Supreme Grand Champion! 26/10/20 Like my champ Chamouny, Thunderstorm represents the drama of nature but specifically in the weather. She is fluffy and grey like a storm cloud, with striking eyebrows the colour of lightning. Her showname is a quote about stormy weather from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, with 'terrific' meaning a source of terror rather than really great. (Though I would argue that Thunderstorm is definitely really great as well.) I love it when things are simultaneously Good but also Bad. I think this is reflected in Thunderstorm's ribbon collection which is quite varied, as she fits some tastes but not others. Like lightning, she has struck all over the place! But with all her sparky energy she has achieved her SGCh trophy!

SGCh Gin's Firecracker"Aero"SGCh Kigu x SGCh Jaffa
Points: 35 Aero is now Supreme Grand Champion! 1/11/20 Aero joins Bonfire and Braeburn as the show pups with an Autumnal theme! 'Tis the season for fireworks (although how, if at all, we experience them this year will undoubtedly be different) and Aero's bright eyes and black and orange coat represent the night sky lit up with crackling bursts of sparkling fire! Her name Aero suggests in flight, or airborne like a firework, but also comes from a chocolate bar we have here in the UK. At the time of naming Aero, I'd just eaten an orange version and so Aero the Dogz dog carries on the chocolate orange theme from her SGCh dad Jaffa. Like her mum Kigu (and a firecracker!), Aero is positively full of energy and shot swiftly to SGCh!

SGCh Gin's Toffee Apple Cider "Braeburn"
Points: 33 Braeburn is now Supreme Grand Champion! 01/11/20 The Sodapup breeding project has taken a bit of a back-step recently just because I've been quite busy, but when Braeburn appeared with his delicate spot pattern, I knew it was finally time to show a Sodapup Lite! Braeburn's Poodle coat is also something a little different for the Sodapups; perhaps a bit richer than a standard Dali coat, Braeburn's showname is based on an indulgent cider! His orange booties and green eyes reminded me of the multicoloured braeburn apple, and considering that apples can be bobbed for, this suits Braeburn's 'lite'-ness. He is a sweet soul with a pretty consistent record - Braeburn is my fastest pup to reach SGCh, earning his trophy in just four days!

SGCh Gin's Pumpkin Spice "Onesie" SGCh Kigu x SGCh Jaffa Onesie is now Supreme Grand Champion! 14/11/20 Onesie follows not too far behind after her sister Aero to SGCh! Daughter of Kigu and Jaffa, Onesie (Gin's Pumpkin Spice), continues a theme represented by Kigu (Gin's Messy Bun & PJs Day) known as the Basic B-word, who in this case, wears pyjamas and enjoys a PSL. Now let's not get it twisted: there is absolutely nothing wrong with being a Basic B-word, in fact, this concept doesn't really exist, it is a stereotype, an exaggeration. Onesie manifests as a symbol for enjoying whatever the heckles you like to enjoy, be it popular or not. Pumpkin spice all round!

SGCh Gin's Pink Poison "Oleander" SGCh Diamonds x SGCh Marston
Points: 36 Oleander is now Supreme Grand Champion! 16/11/20 I love that Oleander has both his parents' colouring, it's great to see both parents represented in their pup! His pink eyes were a surprise and so they've influenced both his show and call names. Oleander is a bit of a haughty drama king, who thinks posing is beneath him. I've never seen quite the grimace on a dali pose! His expression reads, "Really? This is what we're doing?" Nevertheless, he's done well for himself with his collection of ribbons, graphics and now an SGCh trophy. "Yeah I guess," he might scowl, though later he may be overheard bragging to his sister Belle that it is he, Oleander, whose retirement marks my 20th SGCh!

Showroom Pupdate #2So apparently I'm making a tradition for my showroom that, for every 10 champs, we have some litters! Oleander hit SGCh this week, making him my 20th champ! Again, it's nothing crazy in the Grand Scheme of All Things, but honestly, any excuse to celebrate in these times and I'm there! Especially if it involves puppies, so here I introduce the next generation of my champion lines, some of whom will be entering the ring very soon for trophies of their own!

gingerade, your descriptions remain my absolute favorite reads on this entire forum. I was thrilled to return to see so many new ones to go through! Also, I had not heard of Pogo before you mentioned them here, but have now listened to "Data & Picard" on loop for about an hour. Thank you for this. And with that, please forgive this interruption in your regularly-scheduled parade of pup posts!

Alright-- I know I've been awhile for awhile and I have tons of catching up to do around here but *slams hands on table* how did I miss this?? Your showroom is so gosh pretty. I need to read thru all of these but I just wanted to say I love your show team so far.
Also you're breeding every 10 champions is so nice haha Are you planning on offering any of the puppies from the champions for trade 👀 I'm always looking for some new SGCh blood for my team. I have a little list of what I'm looking for too haha

Ahh thank you Thor ! I was definitely super inspired by everyone else's showrooms and because of them, I knew I wanted to set up a little space here as soon as I joined RKC! I would love to trade some pups to you! Have any in the pics caught your eye? Some of them I'll definitely be keeping for showing, but I'm so disorganised that I haven't finalised it yet xD Or I'd be happy to do some fresh breeding for you if there is a pair you like ^^
