Elphie wins the 2018 Alberta Doberman Specialty. Special thank you to our judge, Janice Bannister from the UK for this honour.
Beautifully presented by Alana Smith.

The Elph also won a G3 at AKC's Summer Classic on the same weekend - thank you Judge Sergio Pizzaro.

AND... Elphie finished her Rally Excellent title with a HQS under Judge Michel Calhoun. It was a busy weekend!

Thank you Doberman breed Specialists - Sandy Gelinas and Michael Gelinas
for recognizing Elphie at the Crocus Obedience & Kennel Club's February 2018 Brandon show
with owner handled Group 1st placements!

Named after the Wicked Witch of the West in the musical Wicked, Elphaba, who is affectionately known as Elphie, obtained her Canadian Championship with a Best Puppy in Group win and a Best of Winners win at the Manitoba Doberman Pinscher Club Specialty. Thank you so much Tammy Sawatzky and Tracy Casselman for your lovely presentation of Elphie as a puppy.

 

A year later in 2015, Elphie went back with Trina Neil and won the Manitoba Specialty!!!  Thank you so much to our Judge Gloria Kerr and to Trina for her beautiful presentation of Elphie. 

2016 had Elphie in the ring with Shannon Scheer at the BC Doberman Specialty where they won an Award of Merit. In 2017, Elphie took a Group 1st under Doberman Breed Specialist Sandy Gelinas and an Award of Merit at the Alberta Doberman Regional Specialty in August with Alana Smith. Elphie also finished her Rally Intermediate title with HIC wins as well as 2 Qs of her Rally Advanced.

 

Elphie is the best moving dog that I have ever owned and judging by her wins in Rally Obedience and times in Barn Hunt, is also one smart dog!
