Crowning of the year - Helsinki shows

The end of the show season here in Finland has (I guess) always been the Helsinki show in December. This year it was Helsinki Winner show on Saturday and Finnish Winner show on Sunday.

We had absolutely fab time with all our friends and the results were at least pleasing as well:

Mr. Christian Leneuf from France was the judge on Sat and our super lovely junior boys Ruuti and Raisu were shown first. Raisu was, for some reason, a bit too chubby for the judge but gorgeous Ruuti did great and was 2nd with excellent and a cq out of 9 junior males! He was the best Finnish junior dog :)

In intermediate class we showed brothers Rocky and Tico as well. They both got excellents with cq, Rocky 1st and Tico 2nd.
In the best male competition Rocky was beautifully 2nd best with res-cacib and res-cc!!! This was great news.

In bitches we only showed Rocky's gorgeous moving sister Hertta. She did great job with Janne and was 3rd best bitch that day; both Rocky and Hertta were the best Finnish dog and bitch of the day and we are very very proud!!

Thanks to our dear puppy owners, we could show Hi-Lite breeders group for the 2nd time ever. There were 3 groups entered and 2 shown, our group won!! The feeling was also great to be able to show this group later on in the finals :)

This is the critique of our group:
"Harmonic group with homogenous head type, bodies, size and colour. Beautiful harmony in movement. All dogs shown represent excellent quality."

Our huge and handsome Central Asian Owtcharka Faruk was also shown and the result was another title for him: he was best male with cacib and HEW-12 title :)

On Sunday the judge was mr. Hans Lehtinen, a world famous Finnish all rounder judge.
This time it was 10 junior males!! We are extremely proud of our youngsters; Raisu 2nd and Ruuti 3rd!! Again, they were the best Finnish bred dogs, how great is that!!

For Rocky, the result was the same as on Sat; 2nd best male with cc and res-cacib and was the best Finnish dog. Handsome brother Tico got res-cc!! Tico had faultless critiques both days <3 In bithces, Hertta upgraded her placement to BEST BITCH with cc and cacib and the title FIW-12!!! She truly is a beautiful mover and we are very happy about her <3 The breeders group competition was a copy from Saturday, and we are thrilled to publish this critique of our winning group: "Very even group of dogs that have beautiful outlines. Typical, healthy built specimen all over. Proud movement. Good toplines." So far we have been able to show our breeders group for 3 times resulting 3 x BOB!



We want to congratulate and thank our dear friends and owners of Tico, Ruuti, Rocky, Raisu and Hertta for being there for us and taking your lovely dogs to Helsinki shows. It means the world to us <3

Thanks also to Mama Bulldobas and Ari & Janne, and Helena just for... you know. You are the best!!
