2 x Best in Show Winners
at the
Siberian Husky Club of Great Britain Championship Shows
Ch Eekonoo’s Zefram Cochrane won under Jenny Littlejohn
Jenny's critique:
I very much like this
dog, good foxy head, well shaped almond eyes obliquely set, nice shaped
well set ears, good angulation front & rear, slightly sloping pasterns,
good neat feet, tail well set on croup. Good ground covering movement also
that keen alert expression a dog so obviously enjoying his day - really
made him stand out from the crowd for me on the day. A joy to judge.

Andromeda by Eekonoo won under

Article
by
Krystyan Greenland:
Judge for
dogs was Lisa Tebay and she must have been very pleased with her entry.
Her dog CC came from limit, in the form of Dave & Jill Hemmins Rigrunner
Alesis Andromeda by Eekonoo. ‘Ozzy’ was turned out to perfection, and
looked a picture, handled so well as usual, by Dave. This handsome piebald
was runner up top dog last year ( SHCGB points) and already has one other
CC to his credit. He is sired by the top show winning and dual purpose
champion (and SHCGB Show BIS winning). Ch Eekonoo’s Zefram Cochrane (Rajarani
Kayakin of Khodies x Skilivolk Nabushka at Eekonoo) and his dam is Ch
Rigrunner See Emily Play (Tupilak’s Salty x Cheechako’s Charadyeyka.) His pedigree contains some very well
known dogs, including Top Dog 85, 86, 87 in Ch Zoox Gazheek, Top Bitch 93
in Sibirskaya Kwiksylva of Rajarani. Less well known in the ring, but no
less influential in the breed today by virtue of their working aptitude
are such dogs as Zero’s Brew at Tupilak and Zero’s Flutter at Tupilak.
Jenny Littlejohn’s well known and top producing brace in Charvak’s Two
Sioux Mato of Skiivolk and Charvak’s Icelia of Skiivolk come in through
Skiivolk Nabushka. And – stop and take a breath – it doesn’t end here, as
he also has in his pedigree one of the best dogs I have had the pleasure
to see, namely the pure white Alpirod winner, Dutch Ch Zoltan of Chenok
through Amarok’s Francois at Rajarani. With such breeding behind him, and
the added bonus of having Dave as an owner and handler, Ozzy must have a
great future ahead of him.
Top Stud Dog in the Siberian Husky Club
of Great Britain and Our Dogs Competitions
Zef has twice won the
Siberian Husky Club of Great Britain Top Stud Dog award and also Top
Siberian Husky Sire in the Our Dogs Competition. He has produced 4
Champions and is very proud of all his progenies wins, details of which
can be
found here.
