George Orwell once said, "Myths which are believed in tend to become true."

So, I say, "Does a truth that is repeated often become a Myth"?

Now, in my golden years, I often repeat (as old folk tend to do) the story of Me with Duke Among The Legion Of Black Dogs at the 2016 Royal Canin Week Of Shows..................

The story has it that it was the judge's third and last cut, as she had made two other cuts of 20 each and now was left with 19 Labradors to choose for Best Of Breed..........................18 BLACKS & 1 YELLOW Dog were down to the wire!

I had not realized until someone in the crowd yelled at me to look behind me!

I leaned down, looked back at the seated person, and then stood up to look behind me at the last 19 dogs left in the competition........................lo and behold, with the legends of the breed handling and the cream of the crop, top dogs in the country at the end of those legendary handler's leashes...............were 18 of the best lineup of BLACK Labradors assembled at this most prestigious canine congregation.

The realization sunk in..................... I looked down at Duke, and we seemed totally out of place!

'Whoa, Nelly' came to mind; then, with a swift, swirling hand command, the judge motioned me to take the dogs around again!

The crowd came alive, especially most of those seated straight across from where I stood in front of the fantastic lineup of dogs; those seated there were dozens of Chambray owners.

Thus, the legend or true story was born...............when the judge once again, with the same hand that she motioned for me to take the group around...................pointed to Duke and I, and proclaimed us as Best Of Breed!

Merry Christmas to all.

We did our family's traditional Christmas photos today.

Jessi thought about adding a 2021 photo of baby Chambray's Top Gun Maverick and a now 2023 photo of him at 2 years old.............. since I am in both pictures, you get to see me........kind of in a before and now, after being out of commission a whole year with health problems.

Thank you all for your support for my family through these difficult times. If the going continues to be good for me, I look forward to getting going back into showing for 2024.

You can visit Maverick's page at https://www.chambraylabs.com/maverick and see a few more photos of him now at 25 months of age. For those asking about him, he is black and carries chocolate in the recessive, so he can produce rich dark chocolate babies when bred to a chocolate female or a black carrying chocolate in the recessive form as he does.

25/12/2023

Then and Now!! 2 years apart ! Our boy Maverick 🖤🤎! What do you guys think? Did we nail it?

25/12/2023

Happy holidays from our family to yours!

(couldnt wrangle the whole gang so this will have to do for this year)

23/12/2023

Look how stunning Maverick looks! He sat for some updated photos this morning and we just had to show him off. Maverick just turned 2 in October and has all his health testing completed! He carries chocolate! 🤎🤎

Thank you to all who have been part of this beautiful experience.

Today is T-Minus, two days before we depart for Orlando, Florida Convention Center, where we will set up Good Housekeeping for a week of dog shows.

Those dog shows are the three days of All-Breed Dog Shows sponsored by Central Florida’s dog clubs, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday……………..followed on Friday with the LRC’s Labrador Retriever Specialty and then the big Kahuna of all canine events, the Royal Canin National Championships on Saturday and Sunday.

Yes, there are two days of the royal affair, as there are so many dogs of all breeds entered from across the US and worldwide that it takes two days to go through all seven different Groups of dogs, plus the Miscellaneous breeds!

We are locked, loaded, and ready to get on the Road Again, as all systems are a go……………all we need is for our owners to drop by with their precious prized possession dogs that travel with us and are showing at the ultra-extravagant congregation of dogs.

So, tomorrow, Sunday, and early Monday morning, we expect to receive those featured dogs that we show for our owners so that we can roll off with a northerly heading toward the final dog show of the year.

Since my daughter Jessi handles multiple breeds, she will be hard at work all day with her team of handlers, assistants, and helpers through each of the six show days. Johanna and I will be more dedicated to the Labrador Retriever ring. However, if needed, we will also assist her and Team Chambray with the other breeds throughout the day in the assigned rings.

For those wanting to visit and watch the highly energized competition for Labradors, we will be in ring 21 at 8 AM on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Labs will be in ring 13 at 9:15 AM on Friday, and on Saturday, for the Royal Canin event, Labs will be in ring 32 at 9:35 AM.

There are over 100 Labradors entered each day, so it will take around three hours or more for each judge to go over the entire lineup of competing dogs.

Many of our followers and Chambray owners have expressed a desire to come and visit with us, which I look forward to, and others have set up time to go and see some of the Labs we have on hand.

I will gladly welcome all who wish to come over as soon as we finish showing our entry of Labs that number over 15 dogs during those three or more hours. Also, we are there at the convention center all day.

Besides being at those rings with Labradors, we mostly hang around at our designated crate/grooming area, where folks can come back to sit and chat up a storm or two and meet our owners dogs that stay with us there on-site.

We also stay at the adjoining Hilton Plaza Hotel; I say adjoining because there is a covered walkway bridge connecting the hotel to the convention center. So, we are nearby anytime if anyone wants to come by and say “Hello.”👍

Name That Tune………..However, In This Case, It’s Name That Dog!

This is a question that comes up with a lot of the emails I receive.

“What is the proper protocol in naming a dog?” especially with our Labrador Retrievers?

Well, for the vast majority of Labradors bred and sold in this country, the name of the puppy/dog is Moot……………it’s yours to choose!

That’s because the overwhelming number of Labrador puppies sold in the USA comes from what is referred to in our fancy as ‘Pet Breeders’. As such, most people breeding pets don’t have a kennel name, so it is up to the new owners to ‘Name That Dog’!

Now, to clarify the picture, a dog can have two types of names.

First is the call name, nickname, or pet name, whatever you want to call your dog to ‘know’ its name. This call name can be anything you want and doesn’t have to follow any tradition or official protocol.

The other moniker is the name on the official AKC Dog Registration form. Here is where things may become a little stickier……………depending on the breeder, there may be a stringent procedure in place, and some breeders are very protective and guarded about this ‘naming the dog’ process.

The most followed tradition in this country with Labradors is where the kennel name of the breeder of the litter/puppies comes first as part of the name. I state that because, in many foreign countries, the kennel name is last, just as a person’s last name comes, well, last.

So, back in the USA, the tradition is for the kennel name to go first in the official dog’s name.

As stated, things are very different when obtaining a puppy from an accredited, top-of-the-line, show-worthy Labrador Retriever breeder versus getting a puppy from a pet source.

With show breeders, things follow a highly tradition-laden protocol in naming that tune.

If there are two different kennels involved in the breeding, the ‘leading’ kennel gets first dibs in the name order; in the case of a co-breeding situation and both kennels are owners of the litter, the middle name of the dog can be the 2nd kennel’s name.

Then, the last part of the dog’s name can be a unique name, phrase, song title, brand of drink, or a special meaning to those who now own the puppy or dog.

Some breeders/kennels will fill in the name themselves, register the dog with whatever they have chosen, and then place the dog, leaving the new owners to come up with the call name only.

Other kennels/breeders will partially fill in the blanks provided by the AKC on the Dog Registration form with their kennel name and leave the rest for the new owner to fill in.

So, before diving off the dock to name your newly obtained puppy or dog, please consult with the breeder placing the dog with you to learn the lay of the land with their 'name the dog' routine.

Such is the par for the course in naming that dog, depending on the source and the breeders.

I can name that tune in two notes!

I totally love it when I provide information, how many more people reply with more questions! That's why I keep doing this. When I first started in the 1970's there was very little information available, anywhere, other than the few outdated Labrador books.

So, here goes.

Yes, a class dog can win a Best Of Breed over all the champion specials! It would first be a Winners Dog or Winners B*tch.........then it would be awarded Best Of Winners, and then the judge will anoint it Best Of Breed!!! That dog would receive Breed and All-Breed points; however, it would not receive Grand Champion points, as a dog must first be a champion to be entitled to GrCh Pts.

Yes, the AKC does keep up with the Ch, Grand Ch, and the different levels of Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum Grand Champion titles. The AKC also keeps up with a Seattle Slew of Service, Working and Performance Titles as well. It does not keep up with BIS or BISS in the front of a dog's name, and it doesn't keep up with Judge's Award of Merit or Judge's Award of Excellence that goes at the tail end of the dog's name. Back in the day, more 'tradition' was used in adding titles to a dog's name, but things have changed and now it becomes everyone doing their thing.

Dogs don't need to carry their sire's kennel name. Many owners and breeders use dogs from other breeders and kennels that are 'standing at stud' for a stud service fee. Those owners/breeders paying for that service may only use that stud dog's name for the puppy it produces if that stud dog owner also owns or co-owns the dam used to produce the litter....or there was some prior arrangement between the stud dog owner and the dam's owner.

Yes, there are multiple ranking systems..........with http://caninechronicle.com/new-statistics/ keeping an updated monthly scoreboard of All-Breed (Sporting Groups), Breed, and Grand Champion rankings.

Yes, dog owners can handle their own dogs at all AKC All-Breed dog shows and Specialty shows! In fact, there are special competitions, special classes, and categories such as Owner/Handler, Amateur/Owner Handler, and Bred By Exhibitors (for breeder/handler).....yes, even for Best Of Breed, owners can very well be the ones handling their own dogs against the top professionals in the business.

There is TicTok, and then there is the tick-tock countdown of days and hours for the clock to alarm that the day of the highly anticipated dog show of the year is upon us!

This clanging of the bell will be for the biggest dog show of the year; I am talking about the Ed Sullivan, “really big show,” canine extravaganza right up the pike from where I am pecking away at my keyboard right at this minute. This place is in my cozy Chambray Acres, Miami, Florida home.

That’s the place I have called home for 50 years now………….if you are into dogs, that other ‘must-be-destination’ for that King Kong of a dog show, well, that is the AKC Royal Canin Week of Dog Shows in O Town, Fl………..a.k.a. Orlando Magic City, Florida.

So come hellacious knee-deep water, snapping turtle cold weather, sudden-burst sky-illuminating solar flares, or melting Milky Way Bars………keep in mind that Mars also owns Royal Canin……….. we, as in Johanna, Jessi, and me, the Little Old Wine Maker, Sandy will be trekking north 250 miles as Poe’s Raven flies, till we hit Mickey’s ‘In Plain Sight Hideaway’.

Many of our Chambray and Facebook followers have been asking the hot burning bush question of ‘porque?” this canine congregation carries so much more weight than all the rest of the dog show events that have transpired throughout the year.

Well, this is where the top breeders of all breeds gather to showcase their kennel’s top-of-the-morning gems.

A Best Of Breed win here speaks tomes about a breeding program compared to the Grandfather doggie event in terms of longevity and notoriety, the Westminster offering!

That Big Apple affair is more suited for exhibitors and owners, who then revel in the following human-oriented hoopla and celebratory hootenanny for millennia to come.

So, here are some of the occurrences that may take place when our dogs enter that vaulted and revered Royal Canin ring with those dogs that will be at the leading end of the leash, with the Herzons and Team Chambray trying to keep up around the vastly ample rings…… with miles and miles before we stop on a snowy evening between the woods and frozen lake, somewhere very far away.

For us, leading the charge of the light brigade will be our champions, or better stated in dog show-like gymnastic linguistics, “our specials.”

Specials are champions that are campaigned by their breeder and or owner, perhaps with a prominent pro handler to master the ring around the Rosie against all the other similarly title-adorned champions of AKC record with their chosen handlers in tow, all going tete-a-tete for the highest bestowment from each breed ring, the coveted Golden Fleece of canine awards, the bi-colored blue, yellow oversized Best Of Breed rosettes.

The Chambray Leader of the Pack, broooom, broooom, is appropriately named and adorned with titles, Bronze Grand Ch Chambrays Emperior Maximus Ben Tank’d On The Boulevard.

He is that Chambray dog that rightfully owns that ‘specials’ designation by being the winningest Chambray dog for 2023.

Maxi is the flag bearer for all the other Chambray dogs present at this meeting of the best of the best of each breed of dog, each dog vying to be the King of the Mountain of all those top Labrador kennels/breeders that bring their prized dogs.

All hoping one of their pooches takes over the zenith spot atop that mythical higher peak……………all of them, arriving at this sacred destination from hither and yonder, domestic and foreign locations as well……………all ah-wishing and ah-hoping they end up high, sitting pretty with their dog, the owner/breeder/exhibitor/handler queenly/kingly waving down towards all those others that didn’t quite make it to the top of the canine Mt Everest with their dogs.

Joining Maxi in that merry-go-round in the special's ring of the Who’s Who of Labradors is another Chambray Grand Champion……………GrCh Chambrays You Mystify Me, also joined by a third dog, GCh Soflo Have You Ever Seen a Ghost…………he doesn’t sport the Chambray kennel name.

However, he is linked by his Rich Red Royal Blood, making him one of the dogs that are part of the ‘Chambray Hood,’ as his sire is the one and only Silver GrCh Chambrays Duke Destined For Greatness!

Those watching from the Chock Full Of Nuts seating around the vast-tundra-like rings, those seats more than likely, lined up two and three chairs deep…………….with assuredly standing room behind the third layer, will need to wait to see these earlier-mentioned specials for about two, to three hours, as there will 67 class males and class females, vying in the preliminary rounds of Winners Dog and Winners Female awards for the day.

With all those class dogs present and accounted for, it will tally up to make 5-Pt Majors wins for both the lucky Winners Dog and the Winners Female.

Here is a list of Awards and Designations from this super, duper, must-be-at canine event from the Breed Ring competition.

Starting at the top:

Best Of Breed ~ The top breed award. The winner receives one point for every Labrador that competed there that day. If all the entered Labs are there and compete, then the Breed count is 103 dogs/points for Breed Rankings.

Since Grand Champion points are also in place, BOB would receive the maximum 5-Gr Champion points for Grand Champion Points Ranks.

For All-Breed Rankings (Sporting Group Rankings), the winning BOB would carry those points into the Sporting Group competition.

If it receives ANY GROUP PLACEMENT, from Group 1 to a Group 4, it would receive beaucoup points that get added up for those breeds of dogs that it beats by having a placement over those breeds under the Labrador Retriever.

Best Of Opposite S*x (BOS) ~ This is an ‘if’ award. If a male wins BOB, then a female dog is awarded BOS, flipside, if a Female wins BOB, then a male is chosen BOS.

Whether male or female, BOS only receives points towards the Grand Champion Ranking from members of its own gender.

There is nothing for groups since only the BOB winner competes in the Group. Grand Champion points are awarded to the BOS, according to how many of the same gender that dog wins against that day.

Winners Dog ~ Winners Female ~ Here, one male and one female are chosen as the winners of the points towards their AKC champion’s title.

Those points are based on the AKC Points Schedule for 15 different Divisions that fly about the country, including Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico.

Florida is in Division 4, jumbled up with Georgia and South Carolina, and it is one of the higher ‘weighted’ divisions for achieving a Major Pointed win.

In fact, Florida in Division 4 and California in Division 9 have similar requirements for winning the first of the majors, which is a 3-Pt Major.

BEST OF WINNERS, the judge chooses between the two above dogs, the Winner's Dog and the Winner's Female, for which one is the best example of the breed. Only if the WD or a WB also wins the Best Of Breed award do they receive BOB points, and that dog may compete in the Sporting Groups for All-Breed Points.

For Grand Champion Rankings, extra dogs can be awarded GrCh Points. The judge can grant a second dog to the BOB winner as Select GrCh and an award to the dog that is second to BOS, a Select GrCh as well.

At big-to-do show/shows, such as the Royal Canin and the Friday LRC Labrador Specialty, with large entries, special awards are given to a certain number of dogs based on how many dogs are entered. The judge grants these as ‘Awards of Merits’.

For an All-Breed Dog Show, the award is added at the back end of the dog’s name as JAMS, which stands for Judges Award of Merit at Show.

On Friday, the LRC Labrador specialty, the JAMS award, will be known as a JAMSS……………the two S’s stand for Specialty Show.

The dog that wins the Best Of Breed at a Specialty also has an additional title designation, BISS, which stands for Best In Specialty Show, and that title gets to adorn the dog’s first name.

Now armed with all the preceding information, the countdown for the blastoff of the 'really big' show is on, and it won’t be long before December 12th dawns upon us for the Royal Canin spectacular celebration of dogs.

No need for words when you have that perfect picture!🤩

******NOTE: I am adding this post that will remain ‘pinned to the top’ of all other posts on this page in answer to all the questions in emails, PMs, and messages asking about the following information I am sharing with this post. ******

Welcome to my page, where I share my lifelong passion and involvement with Labrador Retrievers.

I have owned at least one Labrador every year since 1970! Quick math here in 2023 makes 53 years with the breed.

Besides breeding & raising this wonderful breed of dog, we are also professional dog trainers and show handlers.

Alone at the Florida Power & Light Headquarters’ parking lot were my training classes that I conducted for 23 consecutive years………three nights a week……..
averaging 25 dogs per night………………
more quick math would tally up to over 3000 dogs attending each year, multiplied by 23 years………………
then rounded off to sum up to at least 60,000 dogs participating in all those sessions.

Those sessions included obedience classes, show training classes, handler’s workshops and seminars, AKC CGC Classes, RDO Training and testing, 25 Fun Matches for the Greater Miami Dog Club, micro-chipping clinics with thousands of dogs chipped………………….well, you get the gist here.

Then, add thousands more dogs coming here at Chambray Acres, the five-acre farm where we live and work, where we have private one-on-one training with dog owners, and where we take dogs for short and long stays for advanced obedience and or show training.

Since 1987, we have been involved with showing our dogs, and as the years have gone by, we have evolved into professional dog handlers. We have handled many dogs we bred and placed with people and also shown dogs that people obtained elsewhere.

As Labrador breeders, under the name of Chambray Labradors, by 2002, we ascended to being Florida’s Top Champion Labrador Breeder, and now, in 2023, we account for having titled 81 homebred AKC champions since the very first in 1993, the most of any other state Lab breeder by at least three times as many.

Since 2012, we have been the USA Labrador Breeder of the Year for six times, with six new AKC champions each of those years! Those six years were 2012, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2019 and 2022.

Also, since 2012, we have amassed the most AKC champions ever in a comparable period, with 57 New AKC Home-Bred Champions.

Our method of operation is to only breed for show purposes to produce as good or better puppies in each litter than the stellar sires and dams that we chose for the breeding program.

Then we interview dozens and dozens of people to place those puppies that exhibit the best traits to be competitive to win their AKC championships!

We make it a rule not to keep puppies for ourselves so those dogs won’t be showing or competing against our owner’s puppies/dogs, which would create an optical conflict of interest.

If, at the time, we don’t have the correct new owners to place the top show prospect puppies with at eight weeks, we will keep and ‘run on’ with those puppies, putting in as many hours of social manners and show training, and then whenever we have the right show home for that puppy, we will place those puppies with those new owners.

We provide total Labrador mentorship with every puppy we produce, whether for training, show handling, or breeding the next generation of superior puppies.

We provide training, conditioning, and show handling on a professional basis to all of our home-bred puppies and dogs.

We give discounts on all our professional services to the owners of our home-bred Labradors.

Hundreds of home-bred dogs and champions will be in the following posts with their owners.

As you will notice, those dogs and owners are involved in every aspect of activity with their Chambray dogs.

We celebrate every dog and their owners and encourage them to share their love and dedication to their dogs by allowing us to post all the photos, awards, accolades, and achievements their dogs have accrued.

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to add them here, comment, or contact us via Facebook or email at [email protected]
