The start of the year.

The show year started traditionally at Kajaani International show. The venue is not the best for basenjis as it's almost freezing there, but 2 of our juniors were entered. The 13 month old syblings Tico (Hi-Lite Honky Tonk) and Hertta (Fi Jw-11 HL Hula Hoops).
It was Tico's second time in official classes and he continued successfully being in the end BOB!! So first he of course won junior class, BM-1 with cc (being too young for cacib), BOB-junior and then BOB :))))

Sister Hertta won the jun bitch class and was BOS-junior and BB-4 with res-cc!! We absolutely adore this H-litter and could not be more proud of the dogs and their marvellous owners <3333

As we couldn't stay for the finals ourselves, Tico's lovely owners did instead, and Niina was obviously professionally handling Tico as 4th in the huge group!!!!! That is almost like a dream!

Thank you so much all our friends for your company and help as well thank you to the judges mr. Lehkonen and mrs. Talvitie.

So Tico now has a cc and a res-cc out of 2 tries, bro Rocky (Top Winning puppy 2011 He Jw-11 HL Hot Rod) has 2 x cc and 2 x res-cc from 5 shows and sweet Hertta has got a cc and 2 x res-cc out of 5 shows here in Finland. We cannot wait what the "puppies" will look like in the future!!!

Here is Tico at the age of 8 weeks, looking very nice already as a puppy:
