Bijou's 24 Karat, at just under 9 months old, achieved her UKC championship on Friday night (11/30) at the Hampton Roads Kennel Club show in Virginia.

The photo with the white poodle is of her winning best female. The one with the black poodle is Karat winning breed.

Now, her next show is the AKC show that my club, the Charleston Kennel Club puts on in Ladson, SC on January 26-27. Lining up a handler still because Karat's regular AKC handler is not available for that show.

CONGRATULATIONS to you and your Bijou baby UKC Champion!! All good wishes for making your AKC 24 Karat dreams come true too. So nice to watch a poodle owner set goals and achieve them. Big hurray for you!!

Excellent News. It must feel like quite and accomplishment to finish her at such a young age...because it is. Hope things go well with AKC too.

The two other poodles in her pictures seem to be sporting a artsy type of continental..never seen legs left long like that. Is there a name for this clip? I like Karat's trim.

Karat is in a true puppy cut. In UKC, we can't spray her up so she flops a bit. The topknot is now around 4-1/2" long. By the time the next show comes locally in Charleston, her topknot should be around 6"long and will probably be sprayed up on end. The two poodles were being put into a conti and did not quite get finished in time to show. In UKC, even though they should be in either a puppy clip, sporting clip, conti or English saddle, the judges oftentimes don't penalize the clip. In this case, I spoke with the judges and they felt Karat simply moved better and had better conformation than these two. They clearly had nicer coats. Reds just don't have the coat of some of the blacks or whites. And Karat is going through coat change right now. Thanks for the kind words.

That is great news, big Congrats! Do you know where Courtland Va. is, there is a UKC show there in February? The White Poodle does have an interesting cut but I kinda like it.

Thank You for the info. Another question since I have never entered in a show is "what class does a toy poodle enter in"? I don't know what group they are in.

Marcoislandmom

In UKC, they are in the companion group. You can enter in advance and get a discount on the fee or enter at the show ... with registration usually starting 2 hrs before the show and ending 1 hour before the show. If your toy is intact, you would enter regular classes (either male or female). If it is altered, you would enter the corresponding alter classes. I am assuming your toy is not multicolored.

You may show, at under 1 year in puppy clip or sporting clip. Over 1 Year, sporting clip, continental clip or english saddle clip. Most over 1 year show in sporting clip ... that is unless, like Karat, they also show AKC.
