2 x Oulu INT

On Saturday at Oulu Int it did rain the whole day. Of course this was not a problem to our CAO Faruk who was judged by mrs. Poduschka-Aigner from Austria. She praised him a lot and gave him BOB-junior and BOB!! :) We are very proud of him.
Basenji judge was mr. Walkey from Canada and first out were the puppies. Tico got prize of honour and then it was Hertta's turn in girly class with hp as well. Hertta got BOB-puppy this time and Tico BOS :-) They both showed themselves as great as possible in the rain. They got wonderful critiques.
We showed only Nikke (HL Dashing Bulldobas) in males and he was BEST MALE-1 with cc and his first cacib! In bitches Maisa won with cacib and Minni was 3rd best bitch with res-cc :) This time it was Nikke's turn to win BOB - needles to say we were extremely happy of the days results :)) 

Sunday was again a warm and looong day. Faruk repeated Saturday's result and the judge from Canada said he is a lovely and most promising dog :) It was Faruk's cc number 5.
Mrs. Anneli Sutela (FIN) was the judge of basenjis. This time Tico was BOB-puppy and Hertta BOS-puppy, great critiques for both :)) They did perform like pros! Nikke got excellent again and Maisa was BOB with cacib. She was also shortlisted in the group. The whole weekend was lovely to us, not just resultwise but with our dear friends as well - thank you and congratulations everyone! 

Liminka group show

Wonderful show weekend started at Liminka group show, where we had 2 dogs to show. Now it was time for Tico (Hi-Lite Honky Tonk) to hit the rings at the age of just 7 months. And he did it like a pro; with BOB-puppy prize :) We were sooo happy to see him for the first time when he left us as a puppy and loved what we saw! Congratulations to his owners Niina and Petri!
Then it was Minni's go in the adults, she got excellent with cq and was best bitch and got her first cc!! Great job Minni and Katja :) The lovely judge today was charming mr. Jo Schepers from Holland. BOB was Tuuli's handsome son Bulldobas Catch The Wind!!

She told that Duke is "a high quality dog", true ;) Later on Duke was also shortlisted in the big ring! Also sweet Minni was entered and got the most lovely critique and excellent in grading, she is a sweetheart!!
