SHAMCEY is taking the universe by storm!
This four-year-old dog has been named Miss Unifurs 2017 during a competition held at Vistamall in Antipolo City recently.
“Words could not express how we felt receiving her awards on stage. We were so proud of her,” said owner Eton Concepcion, after his pet won the competition.
Since May of this year, Shamcey, in tandem with Eton, has won eight Grand Prize and three runners up finishes.
Shamcey won the Search for Reyna EmPawratriz 2017 at the Eton Centis in Quezon City, grand winner at CAMANAVA Furday Fest Search for the King and Queen of Flowers 2017 in Valenzuela City; SMX MOA Dog and Cat Expo 2017; Furstival 2017 Search for Festival Royalties in Vistamall Bataan; Pet Ko, Luv Ko Fashionista 2- Pet Fashion Show & Competition in Mandaluyong City; 15th Mayor LCA Dog Exhibit & Pet Blessing “D” Open Competition in Santa Rosa Laguna; A Petrifying Trail 2017 in SMX MOA; and the 2017 Miss Unifurs contest where she also won best in national costume, swimwear and evening gown.
In these competitions, Shamcey was a star on stage and always a crowd drawer. “She always performs well during the competitions. She would just walk the stage following me in front of the judges. I would support her, though, when the costume is a little heavy for her. We also have to see her in the best, healthy condition before we take her to compete in every show. I can see that she has grown accustomed to this kind of activity,” Eton said.
Eton recalled that they bought Shamcey from a pet shop after the loss of his pet dog four years ago.
Named after beauty queen Shamcey Supsup, the dog was treated like a priced possession, pampered with everything, from food, vitamins, toys and dresses.
“She is very loving, she would sleep beside you and lick your face and hands. She would bark and scratch your leg if she wants something, and she is the boss even with the bigger male dogs in the house;
“Shamcey loves to go out for a walk. We would take her to the malls, parks and even in fun runs dressed in fashionable wear. Her photo appeared once in a newspaper captioned “this poodle ramped at the doggie run;”
“Wherever she goes, she would attract people being friendly and nice with everyone who approach her. We also used to take Shamcey at the annual Bb. Pilipinas parade of beauties where the candidates would be willing to take pictures with her. She has become well-known among our national beauty queens,” said Eton.
In January, Shamcey was featured on “Umagang Kay Ganda” on ABS CBN during the Miss Universe fever in Manila. She also has the distinction of being featured in Edwin Uy’s 50th anniversary fashion show.
Shamcey is also starting to make a name in the arena of pet costume competition. In 2014, she won the Cutest Dog special award in only her second competition. It was followed by the Kookiest Award at the 2015 Petrifying Trail Halloween Costume Contest and the Best Valentine Pair award, with Giggy, her dog companion Chihuahua, at the 2016 Eastwood City Annual Pet Blessing.
