Finnish Basenji Specialty 2013

The extremely long awaited show was last weekend. It surely is the highlight of the year to all of us Basenji people :)
You know, our Citroen Jumpy van was sooooo full when we left and was even more full when we came back from the show.. ;)
7 basenjis and 3 people, yes, it was full!

But anyway, the results were amazing!
In puppies we only showed one puppy, our super lovely girl Wow Factor "Lilja", and she was 2nd out of 14 minor puppy bitches! We cannot wait for her hitting the rings after this one....




Then it was Raisu's go (Smooth Operator), and he won the junior class with cq!



Also brother Ruuti (Saturday Night Fever) won his class, intermediate, with a cq as well.



Hot Rod "Rocky" looked also fab as always and was 2nd in a big champion male class to his uncle Rene! I love Rocky to bits!!



The best male competition was amazing as out of 32 males young Ruuti won 2nd best male and a cc and Rocky was 3rd best male!! And Raisu got the res-cc!!



So the males' day gave us more than we dreamed, and the success continued also on Sunday when two of our girls were shown, both in Champion class. Momma Maisa got excellent with a cq and daughter Hertta (Hula Hoops) was placed as 4th best bitch!!




And later on our breeders group won BEST IN SHOW out of 6 wonderful groups, we are still today thrilled :))
