Lilja BOB at Vaasa International!

Got a lovely phone call once again from Mervi, who took Lilja to Vaasta international show. The judge of basenjis was Leni Finne and she gave our princess BOB with a cc and a cacib!!! Love to get this sort of wonderful news, congrats Mervi!!
Here a picture of her at 7 months of age.




Luna at a match show

Mari and I decided to take little Luna to a match show, because the weather has been very nice lately. She is only 4,5 months old, but still somehow managed to show her quality from time to time and ended up being BEST IN SHOW-3!!
We hope the future will be very bright for this lovely, beautiful tricolour girl :)
Here a gorgeous picture taken of Luna and her momma Hertta by their owner Mari! We just looooove these girls...




Lilja in Estonia

Luckily Mervi was eager enough to take Lilja to Estonia to be shown at Narva International show during Easter. The entry of basenjis was very nice, maybe 15 or so. The judge mrs. Viva Maria Soleckyj-Szpunar from Poland still loved her like she did last November at Jyväskylä Int. So Lilja was best of breed with a cc and as she was shown for the first time in intermediate class, she also got her first cacib!!
The crowning was Lilja's Group-4 placement, super!!! Wonderful weekend, congrats Mervi!

Welcome to Finland little Luru!

Last weekend our pack got an addition in the form of Luru, little stripey princess coming from Latvia. Luru's pedigree name is Motion Of Life At Wild Africa and her breeder is Anna Cheich-Sultan - thank you!!
She is everything we waited for from the pictures, very beautiful, excellent proportions, beautiful head and lovely expression and smooth coat and colour. Verryyyyy pleased so far, let's just wait for her to grow up a bit as she is now 4 months old.

Luru is co-owned with Niina Virkkunen and Ari Ruotsalainen (kennel Bubbling Under). Thanks Niina for opening your heart to Luru and offering her the best home possible <3 Here a couple of pictures of this tiger beauty.

Hi-Lite puppies planned for the end of the year 2014

We are happy to announce our planned breeding between Maisa (C.I.B FI CH NO CH EE CH EEJW-09 BULLDOBAS CROWN JEWEL) and Hiro (BISS CIB SE DK CH DKW-13 WVV-10-11 VEUW-11 M'WAMI'S AMERICAN FORTUNE HUNTER).

Maisa has had 2 litters earlier and this will be her last one. From the first litter together with our own Timon, C.I.B NORD CH FIN CH SE CH NO CH EE CH RU CH EEW-09 RKFV-07 BULLDOBAS NO REGRETS, she produced TOP PUPPY 2011 and TOP MALE 2012, BIS FI CH EE CH HeJW-11 Hi-Lite Hot Rod, gorgeous bitch C.I.B NORD CH FI CH SE CH NO CH EE JCH FIJW-11 FIW-12 HI-LITE HULA HOOPS and BIS C.I.B NORD CH FI CH SE CH NO CH HI-LITE HONKY TONK. The fourth puppy out of that magnificent litter lives in Sweden and has got 2 cc's and a cacib!

Maisa's second litter with BISS FI CH NORDJW-09 NORDW-09 FIJW-09 KIMWITU'S DUKE E is now 16 months old. SBISP HeJW-13 FIJW-13 FIW-13 HI-LITE BULLDOBAS WOW FACTOR is the leading star right now, and has gained so far 11 ccs and several Group placements. Her brother Wise Guy has got BOB and 2 ccs from 3 shows! One of the sisters, Wild Child, is doing excellently in England.

Hiro is wonderful, Swedish gentleman, who will be 13 years! E.g. his latest offspring are very pleasing to me. His show success has been marvellous, and not getting any worse at this old age. He still constantly keeps on winning best of breeds! He has been BISS and BOS at Specialty show and e.g. BIS-1 veteran at Paris World Winner show. We are thrilled about him <3

So what can we say about our expectations of this becoming litter, they are huge!!! We expect red/white and tricolour puppies. So if you are interested in an own Hi-Lite puppy, please do contact us at hansukytta@hotmail.com or tel. +358445381688.

Show and Health tests this weekend

Saturday was yet again very successful for team Hi-Lite. I myself went to Kerimäki show with "little" boy Raisu, it was his first show after turning 2 years in December.
He did it with a bang, winning the last needed cc and BOB given by judge mr. Esa Ruotsalainen! Raisu was also shortlisted in group. Very proud of him <3 Here is a picture of him being judged "Fi ch TLN JW-13 Hi-Lite Smooth Operator"




At the same time Mervi took Lilja to Kajaani show. The judge there was mrs. Maija Mäkinen. Lilja won another BOB with a lovely critique! The day wasn't quite finished for them as mr. Jari Fors gave Lilja Group-2 in the finals!! Well done girls again!




On Sunday Lilja and her brother Seti went to an official eye check. The results are very pleasing! Lilja has all clean eyes and knees healthy 0/0 as well and Seti has one super minor ppm iris strand in one eye!! Great!

Here is mr. Seti, 16 months. His head is stunning!
