EUROPEAN WINNER DOG SHOW DUBLIN IRELAND 2009. Just want to wish everyone the best of luck at today's European Winner Dog Show Dublin 2009. So sorry I can't be with you today due to my broken wrist but unfortunately I have it in plaster for another 5 weeks. Have a great day everyone and I'll see you in a few months 
TOP WINNING LEONBERGER IN IRELAND FOR 2008. It has been confirmed by the Irish Kennel Club that Ch. Stormchaser Power of Love (An Ch 2008) "Kyla" does hold the title of Top Winning Leonberger for 2008 in Ireland. I have the certificate to prove it which I include on my web site for anyone who is interested enough to look at - click on certificate to enlarge it.
The Irish Kennel Club also informed me that they award the Annual Champion title to the top winning dog in each breed, and that is what Kyla has achieved so therefore she does hold the title of the Top Winning Leonberger in Ireland for 2008 as per The Irish Kennel Club, despite what others may wish.
There are other competitions, called Top Dog Competition and Top Breeder, run by showdogsireland and supported by some dog food companies, etc. These are not associated in any shape or form to the Irish Kennel Club but are merely there to keep interest, (their words) in showdogsireland, amongst exhibitors here in Ireland. These are based only on group wins and are not supported by the Irish Kennel Club and the winners are not styled with a title or given a certificate as it's not official. I hope this clears up any misunderstandings and also explains to those who don't show in Ireland, just how our system works here.
