After a pause of two months from showing, we went to this big and traditional show in Jyväskylä.
This time we had with us only young kiddos, Rocky and sister Hertta, then the 10 month old brothers Raisu and Ruuti who were for the first time in official classes.
We were thrilled after junior males as Raisu won and Ruuti was 2nd, both with cq! The entry of junior males was 5, so this was a big thing for us.
Rocky was the winner in intermediate class, with a cq also and then there were all our boys in the best male competition. And they did great, as Raisu was awarded the 2nd best male prize with a cc and Rocky was 4th. This was more than we had hoped for :)
In the bitches we only had Hertta, who was beautifully by "Janne-the-hubby" this time. She is a gorgeous mover and this was also noticed by the judge as in the end she was 2nd best bitch with a cc!
(We also want to congratulate Ari for Siiri's win and her new title CIB!)
We were mostly excited to show our breeder's group for the first time ever. The result could not have been better as we were given the first prize and loads of praises from the judge, mr. Eddie Patterson from Ireland. Thank you judge!
In the finals our group of youg boys plus a girly-girl Hertta managed to make a cut to the best 6 groups of the show!!!!! We naturally still need to practise a bit more with them but overall we are over the moon! This is something nice to continue with.
Our thank yous go to the owners of Raisu, Rocky, Ruuti and Hertta, you love your dogs and keep them in the perfect shape. This was also noticed by the judge as in every dogs' critique it said: "shown in excellent condition" :)
Thank you also to dear Ari and Bulldobas-Tipi, for everything ever, not to mention for your help showing our group. Love you guys!
