Gällivare show gave us great success!!

Again, it was time to make a looooong trip abroad, this time to Swedish Lapland, Gällivare. It was me with syblings Hertta and Tico plus Mervi, who co-owns puppy Lilja and her American Akita Ellsa.

The weather was NOT on our side, because it was raining heavily in the night and the show ground was everything but good for basenjis...
The breed judge was mrs. Liliane de Ridder-Onghena from Belgium and she gave it "all" for our basenjis :)
Lilja "Wow Factor" was BOB-puppy, Tico "Honky Tonk" was BOB and Hertta "Hula Hoops" BOS!! Both adult dogs got cc and cacib gaining their Nordic & Swedish titles!!

But it wasn't quite the end of the day... Firstly, Lilja was chosen as BIS-2 puppy by mrs. Anita Whitmarsh!! She is such a cutie <3 Here Lilja is pictured couple of weeks back at our Specialty.

Sooo happy about it! Mr. Harry Tast was the judge of BIS final and Tico was finally BIS-4, what a great feeling :)


Also Mervi's Akita Ellsa was Group-3, what else could we have hoped for?? Nothing. The trip went very well. Congrats to Niina and Mari and hugssss for loving Hertta and Tico. Mervi, you know, we had a great time. Thanks for loving Lilja.
