MBVIS MBIS MRBIS MBIG CH Kilcavan Alice's Adventures CGC CGCA CM (2013 ACE Nominee)
(Kilcavan The Mad Hatter x Kilcavan The Mistress Mabel)
January 25, 2009-December 12, 2019
Alice is a dream come true. Alice was imported on February 12, 2010 from the Kilcavan kennel. Since that time she has become nothing short of a legend within the Hamiltonstovare breed around the world. She currently holds the record for most group wins by any Hamiltonstovare in the world. She is the only Hamiltonstovare to have multiple Best in Shows in America. Alice's show record is impressive having only not placed in the group once in 4 years of showing. In all but 6 shows she has earned either a Group 1st or a Group 2nd.
Not only is Alice a remarkable show dog, she is my faithful companion and family member. She is my service dog to help with my mobility and balance issues. Alice is happiest at my side. Alice is also a keen hunter and will start her barn hunting career in 2015.
Alice holds a few rare AKC records, she is the first Hamiltonstovare to be AKC FSS registered. She also is the first Hamiltonstovare to earn a CGC title. Alice wowed the crowd at the 2013 Meet the Breeds and earned her CGCA title at the official launch of the title, making her the 4th all-breed to earn the CGCA, the first FSS breed and the first Hound to earn the title. Alice was the first Hamiltonstovare to be nominated in the American Kennel Club's Humane Fund ACE Awards in the Service Dog category. Alice did the unthinkable on July 20, 2014, she was awarded her first AKC Best in Show at the American Hairless Terrier Club of America's Open Show.
Alice blessed us with 4 beautiful puppies in May 2014 and only time will tell if one is as good as their mother. Alice is also a multiple title and champion producer.
Alice unexpectedly passed away on December 12, 2019 in Orlando, Florida from a sudden cardiac event the day after she finished her AKC CM title. We are all heartbroken at her passing.
