Welcome
These are exciting times for Schutzhund Malaysia: the time is right and the
ground swell is at it’s highest.
At the recently concluded King’s Cup Schutzhund Competition in Hatyai, Thailand,
four out of six competitors were from Malaysia and the winner of the Cup was a
Malaysian, Mohd Azman with his Malinois ‘Zeno’.
It was apparent that our standard is higher and yet we did not have any trials
or competitions!
SK Lim has started the ball rolling and we hope to feature his challenge trophy
annually, as one in the loco-regional Schutzhund Trial circuit.
We are pleased to invite Mr. Poompitak from SV Thailand. Poom is a
methodical, strict but fair Judge.
We urge you to pay particular attention to his critique after the dogs’
performance and this is one of the highlights of a Schutzhund trial.
For trial Helpers, we have arguably the best Helpers in the country and region:
Michael Lee and Henry Yew. Michael has participated in seven World Schutzhund
Competitions. Henry, Michael’s protégé, is an up and coming star in local
Schutzhund scene..
He was the sole Trial Helper in the Thailand King’s cup held in March 2006 in
Hatyai and has earned his respect from the competitors and, more importantly,
from the hardest of dogs!. You will see why.
We welcome you to the scenic and idyllic Iskandar Polo Club Ipoh where we have
had several Schutzhund seminars before.
Enjoy the good food, local hospitality and the competitive but sporting spirit
of a true Schutzhund Competition!
Dr. Loo Voon San

SK Lim Biography
Mr. Lim Say Khoon, more popularly known as SK Lim throughout the K9 World, was
born and bred in Ipoh, Perak Malaysia.
Aptly nick named "The Dog King" in Ipoh, where his life has intimately revolved
around dogs since his teenage years.
As fate has it, he landed in the United Kingdom in 1979 for his veterinarian
studies and has since settled down there.
 |
|
SK Lim owns and manages Lyfame Kennel, a very well known kennel throughout the
United Kingdom. It is situated in Newbury in the county of Berkshire, England.
SK is actively involved in breeding the best quality dogs and also training and
supplying them as working dogs to K9 units throughout the UK’s K9 industries
which includes the British Police, Army, Prisons and also the Security
Companies.
SK Lim is also one of the major dog suppliers for the Middle Eastern countries
and all over the world.
He also breeds quality dogs for conformation, KC Obedience and Agility
competitions.
Unlike many dog trainers who are good in theory, SK, through his experience
gained throughout the years of going around K9 world is very hands-on and
practical. As a result, some call him the ‘Godfather of the Godfathers of Dog
World!’ Many people go to him for sensible advice.
|
SK has never forgotten his roots in Ipoh and being a filial son that he was,
made regular trips back home to visit his mother who unfortunately passed away
in October 2005.
Even During those moments of grief, he had the welfare of local canine affairs
at heart and wanted to do something constructive.
As a result the SK Lim Schutzhund Challenge Trophy was conceived and made a
reality today with his generous contributions.
SK is happily married to Judith Vu, who hails from Sabah, Malaysia. They are
proud parents to Matthew Yip Lim, age 10 and Missia Yen Lim age 6 years. In his
heart, he wishes he could return to Malaysia and Ipoh in particular, and retire
in his 'Lyfame Ipoh' Kennel.

Henry Yew
Until now, Henry is the best-kept secret in local Schutzhund scene! Nick-named
‘The Kampar Kid’, he was ‘discovered’ in Ipoh two years ago.
After passing his
‘courage test’ by taking the bite from the hardest biting dog Nando, a Malinois
belonging to Michael, is now taken in by the latter as his understudy.
Henry was
the sole Helper in the recent King’s Cup Schutzhund Trial in Hatyai, Thailand,
taking on all six dogs and winning praises all round.
Henry is 21 years old and
when he is not training dogs, gives English tuitions to school children and
reads about or surf the net for working dogs and Schutzhund.
His immediate goal
is to be the top Helper in the country, and eventually, become one of the top Schutzhund trainers. |

Judge's critics |
Here are the judge notes of some of the winning
dog-handler teams:
(In obedience the full score is 100 points for the novice and 60 for the
pre-novice. For protection, it is 100 points for both.)
Zeno-Azman Obedience (B.92)
A very fine performance overall and good teamwork. Heeling closely and
attentive. But should show slow pace more clearly (V). Sit is O.K.
(V). Down is good and recall is with medium speed (SG). Retrieval of the
dumbbell (V). Retrieval over the hurdle--the dog touches the hurdle and
sits crooked (G). Retrieval over A-frame—dumbbell thrown too close and
despite judge’s advice, handler chooses to proceed and the dog fails to climb
back (G). Send away is with medium speed (SG). Long down is O.K.
(V).
Protection (C. 90 TSB-A)
Almost a perfect performance! Blind search is very fast (V). Strong
barking in the bark-and-hold (V). Escape—good grip and out cleanly (V).
Re-attack—good grip and out cleanly, but bump one time at the sleeve when
handler approaches (V). Long- attack—good grip and out cleanly. But
show dirty bite as handler approaches (B).
Ikea-Francis
Pre-novice Obedience (B.45)
Heeling on leash—the dog is not so attentive and is lagging sometimes.
Slow pace is not distinctive. Dog does not sit in the group and needs
compulsion (9). Heeling off-leash—not so attentive, far and lagging (11).
Sit is good (10). Down and recall—handler’s help, medium speed and sits in
front too far off (8). Long down—the dog rolls on the ground (7).
Pre-novice Protection (C. 89 TSB-A)
Blind search is good (5). Bark-and-hold—barking is not so strong and shows dirty
bites (9). Escape—grip is O.K., but shows dirty bites (17). Re-attack—shows
dirty bites and dog circles the helper (32). Long attack—shows dirty bites (26).
Ayline—Aaron
Pre-novice Obedience(B. 57)
Heeling on-leash—dog is attentive and heeling closely(14). Heeling
off-leash—attentive and heeling closely (14). Sits quickly (10). Down is
good and fast recall, but bumps into handler (9). Long down is good (10).
Rocco—Dr. Loo
Pre-novice Obedience (B.57)
Heeling on-leash—somewhat attentive and heeling closely, but far-off sometimes
(13). Sit is good (10). Down is good and recall is with good speed
(10). Long down—the dog crawls away a few times (7).
