KCI/FCI/Gurgaon Dog Show 08

Prasad drove down from Mumbai with Cash and Fizza. So, i had no other way but to land for the show with Moon and Ozaan the next morning. There was a decent crowd, inclusive of around 300 dogs, if am not wrong.

Both Ozaan and Moon were a bit nervous. This was the first time they were in the middle of something like this. The two days were fun for us but a bit taxing for the dogs, specially for Caravans as they aren't too fond of crowds.

Cash, as always won 3-4 Best in Breed and Fizza also a few trophies. Moon completed three CCs, thus becoming a champion. Ozaan we are not sure, till the results come by post. But, think he also completed his quota of three CCs.

Overall it was a good first time experience, but money spoke and in Nagaraj Shetty & Dorraiswami's tune. I came face to face with the murky underbelly of dog shows in India. Where, if you have the money, you can import dogs, bribe the KCI secretary and take home the awards. Whispers of arrest warrant against the KCI secretary were doing the rounds as he was nowhere to be seen when he was supposed to be judging. Ring stewards were prompting judges as to how to go about their business. So, much so for a first time was really gripping and absorbing. Surely, more than a Bollywood pot boiler.

KEEAH

Keeah; the king or protector in Persian, arrived on the 2nd. He is the only full brindle pup from Cash & Rani's last litter. So, was Parsha, my first Karwan. I mean from Cash & Rani's earlier litter. So, couldn't resist the temptation of expanding the family yet again.

Though now, Keeah is spending quality time sleeping and getting used to the chill, he is quite naughty and just wants to play or throw pranks around whenever he is awake. Yesterday, he was lying in my lap when Ozaan walked up to stake his claim by my side and he growled taking Ozaan by surprise. Certainly this tiny brindle bundle packs a punch.

The Last Litter

This would be Cash & Rani's last litter(combination). Both have produced excellent pups till date. My first Karwani, Parsha was from their previous litter.
And, i can just close my eyes and vouch for their confirmation & gait. Infact, had it not been for Parsha, i would have never been drawn to this breed...maybe.

The pups are just over a month old. Their pictures would follow soon.

Om, Ozaan & Moon

Last week my sister was over with my nephew Om from Bangalore. Om's about to turn two. Though he has met Ozaan twice & Moon once, I think he was too young to remember them. This time around he seemed a bit uncomfortable with five dogs around him at the beginning. And, this seemed to perplex Ozaan a bit. He would go upto Om from time to time and try to be friends with him.

By the second day Om was showing his drawing to Moon, waking her up from her sleep and was jumping around with Ozaan. Asking for him when he was not to be seen around. To cut a long story short, Om was in his elements.




















Here are some photographs i managed to click on the third day. These images are for all those people who keep asking me from time to time how Karwanis are with children. And, specially for some experts who have always maintained that Karwanis are not safe with children. Hope you all enjoy this visual testimony of a Karwani's temperament.
