Storm

What a Velvet Story! Introducing our award, Best of Breed and CC-winning Croatian-bred Havanese, Storm (Velvet Story 'N Ba-Da Best Hurricane) who is co-owned with Danijela Kobe. This great young prospect is writing his own whirlwind story here in the UK. Storm was awarded the accolade of Havanese Top Puppy 2023 in the prestigious Our Dogs Top Puppy Competition!

The Havanese Top Puppy 2023 title was awarded on the basis of show performances at CC-awarded UK Championship Shows and includes rigorous criteria.

From June to December 2023, Storm was awarded:

  • Best Puppy in Show and Best Puppy Dog at the 9th Havanese Club of Great Britain (HCGB) Championship (Special) Show (14 October 2023)
  • Best Puppy in Breed four times (Paignton, WKC, City of Birmingham and SWKA)
  • Reserve Best in Sex in Breed (Reserve Best Dog) twice (Bournemouth and City of Birmingham).
  • First Place at Seven (7) Puppy Dog Championship Classes (Paignton, Bournemouth, WKC, City of Birmingham, Richmond, Darlington and Havanese Club of Great Britain Special)
  • First Place at Two (2) Junior Dog Championship Classes (SWKA and LKA)

Thanks to the judges Venessa Wegmann-Williams, Claire Mills, Andrew Stewart, Hiroshi Tsuyuki, Hans van den Berg, Andrew Leonard, Evan Ryan, Lucy Mottram and Nick Gourley for their careful and thorough assessments.

In 2024, Storm has continued his great form in the UK. Storm went on to win the highly competitive Junior Dog Class at CRUFTS 2024, numerous Best Dog awards and twp Challenge Certificates (CC) - at Blackpool Championship Show (under the internationally renowned Finnish judge, Dr Annukka Paloheimo in June 2024) and then at Richmond Championship Show (under the highly experienced UK judge, Ernie M Paterson in August 2024). He has also gone Best of Breed (BOB) twice (Blackpool, 2024 and SWKA, 2024).

Storm is so energetic and confident in the show ring and is clearly enjoying himself in the UK.

Storm is also extensively health tested. He holds a current clear BVA eye test certificate. Storm is also fully genetic health tested and is IVDD clear. He has been screened for Patella Luxation, receiving the lowest 0-0 scoring, indicating completely normal.

It was great to see Storm do so well, alongside his best Adorele soul-mate, UK Champion Romeo (Adorele Master of the House).
