Popped in to the Swedish Basenji Specialty held close to Göteborg with Tiina and her dogs Neela and Rene plus my Maisa and Duke. The judge there was mr. Hans Lehtinen from Finland. Maisa had most success of our dogs, she was 3rd best bitch with res-cc out of 33 bitch entries! She was also invited to compete for the best movement - So proud of her :)) Also Duke got excellent with cq. Out trip went great from the beginning and we had so much fun together, with our friends and specially at the dinner on Saturday evening. Thanks for the company once again Tiina!

Finnish Basenji Specialty
Finnish Basenji Specialty 2011, judge breeder judge mrs. Val Allen of Zordia Basenjis from Great Britain. Duke is a SPECIALTY BEST IN SHOW WINNER!!
But let's start from the beginning. First out in the ring were puppies. Rocky and 8 other baby boys entered the 5-7 month old class. Rocky, as unexperienced he is, behaved beautifully and the judge also loved his head, so he won the class :)) Finally he was chosen as the 2nd best male puppy in show. What a great start to his career :)
Sister Hertta behaved also very very nice when stacked and gaiting by herself, but she was having a bit too much energy to gait properly in the crowd, so she was not placed. But her critique was very promising and pleasing. We were also able to meet 2other lovely puppies, who were a son (Yulara Quickthorn) and a grandson (Solebas Crown Of Love) of Timon. They both looked most promising! The next dogs we handled were Timon and Duke in champion class of males. Timon was exhausted by the heat and was almost asleep in the ring and got vg. Duke on the other hand showed himself great and won the class ending up best male!! We were sooooo thrilled of his success.

On Sunday was the judging of bitches. Tuuli was a bit chubby for the judge this time and got vg and Maisa was "5th" with cq in a big champion class. So then we started to wait for the Best in Show competition with Duke. He kept on showing and most of all gaiting superbly and won Specialty Best In Show :)) We were so excited, happy and thrilled of his big win as the entry of adult basenjis was almost 100! So the weekend was perfect for us, we could not have even dreamed of this and the journey home was very happy. Thank you all our friends for your support and great company during the weekend :) And congrats also to Duke's co-owners Eila and dear Tiina!! Thank you also for Mari and Laura for keeping such great care of our puppies - as well thank you judge mrs. Allen :)
