Chloe (Grand CH Darwyn’s Morningstar<\/a>) is Darwyn’s 10th different Welsh Terrier to have the #1 annual breed ranking.\u00a0 2021 is the 13th year that we have had the #1 Welsh Terrier in Canada.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chloe started out 2021 as a class dog, meaning that she wasn’t yet a champion.\u00a0 She was trimmed and conditioned by her breeder, Larisa Hotchin, and was presented in the ring by Michelle Yeadon<\/a>.\u00a0 Larisa had fun presenting a young puppy, Tori, and Jennifer Driessen<\/a> presented a younger “sister” to Chloe, named Audrey.\u00a0 All 3 of these girls achieved their Championship during 2021.\u00a0 All 3 girls were awarded Group Placements, from the classes!<\/p>\n

I am also proud to say that we now share Chloe with our good friend, Sonya Cornick, of Quendrith Welsh Terriers.\u00a0 At some point in the future, Chloe will emigrate to Australia to be part of her family.\u00a0 Sonya has co-owned, and loved, our special top winning dog, Parker<\/a>, for many years now.\u00a0 She is a wonderful ambassador for the breed.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”2905″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”2825″ img_size=”thumbnail” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_text_separator title=”New Scent Detection Titles in 2021 also!”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]During 2021, Chloe and her breeder, Larisa Hotchin, also attended their first CKC Scent Detection<\/a> Trial.\u00a0 She was entered in (and passed!):
\n* Instinct
\n* Novice Containers
\n* Novice Interior
\n* Novice Exterior<\/p>\n

Chloe’s sire, Robbie<\/a>, also attended those Scent Detection Trials with Larisa.\u00a0 Both of them passed their requirements for the CKC Scent Detection Novice Titles!<\/p>\n

Scent Detection (Nose Work) is much more than simply hiding cookies in a couch cushions.\u00a0 It is a real team sport that develops (and uses) skills on both the dogs, and handlers.\u00a0\u00a0 Finding a hard hide, and identifying that your dog found the hide, gives Larisa as much pleasure as being awarded a Group 1st in the show ring.\u00a0 It is a real exhilarating experience!\u00a0 Larisa has been training in this area for about 4 years now, and has trained multiple Welsh Terriers, and celebrated the successes that a number of her dog owners, in multiple countries, have seen from training in this sport.\u00a0 However, saying that, for now, the conformation show ring still draws more of Larisa’s time for participation.\u00a0 The Nose Work practice and training is primarily done for fun for the dogs.\u00a0 They all LOVE it.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”2830″ img_size=”thumbnail” alignment=”right” onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”2829″ img_size=”thumbnail” onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_text_separator title=”Chloe’s Sire and Dam are previous Top Welsh Terriers in Canada!”][vc_column_text]Chloe’s sire and dam have both achieved #1 Welsh Terrier Ranking in Canada in previous years.\u00a0 Zora was Canada’s top Welsh Terrier for 2017, and Robbie was Canada’s top Welsh Terrier for both 2019 and 2020.<\/p>\n

Zora and Robbie are both multiple Terrier Group First Winners.\u00a0 Chloe’s half-sister, Tori, also a Robbie daughter, is also a multiple Terrier Group First Winner.\u00a0 Behind Chloe’s parents are also top winners in the show ring.\u00a0 This is NOT an easy feat to achieve, and something that we are very proud of here at Darwyn.<\/p>\n
