Kemi Show in Northern Finland

We had a lovely weekend at our friends Mervi & JP, the owners of our magnificent girl Lilja.
On Sunday it was time for this show and the judge was mr. Harri Lehkonen. Did I mention it was hot?? ;)
Luna was given BOB-puppy prize with a marvellous critique :)
Then it was time for our lovely boys; Seti who was competing in intermediate class and Timon in veteran class. Our oldie won best male and Seti "Wise Guy" had 2nd best male placement with another cc and first cacib from Finland! He looks great!
Lilja won the bitches (with I guess her 20th cc from Finland and a cacib) and in the end she was BOB and Timon BOS and BOB-veteran. Lilja was also shortlisted in the finals.

Congrats all the owners of our wonderful pups, you make this all possible <3


Here a couple of pics taken by JP.

Wonderful show weekend!

On Saturday we were at Oulu International show, where the judge was mrs. Tuula Savolainen from Finland. It was the first show for Luna to enter the puppy class among the official shows. She looked beautiful and was BOB-puppy with a flattering critique!
Ruuti was best male and our lovely Tico was 2nd best male!! Lilja won the bitches and was finally BOS to Ruuti!! Hugely happy we were!

And Ruuti even managed to get another Group-placement as the judge mrs. Marjatta Pylvänäinen-Suorsa gave the 4th prize to our golden boy!!

Then I went home and chilled all day Sunday but Mervi and Lilja went to Kokkola.... it was an entry of 6 adults and Lilja was Best of Breed!! The breed judge mr. Nils-Arne Törnlov was also the judge at the finals and Lilja was Group-4!!! So wonderful!

Thank you and congrats for this whole weekend Mervi, Tuija, Mari and Niina!! You are the best.

Timon's surprise

It was such a hooooooot day last Sunday and we took Timon to Juva show. The judge was lovely Soile Bister and she gave Timon BOB-veteran and BOB! Special note was given to his head, side movement and temperament :)

But in the finals all the fun began... First it was time for the choosing of Best in Show Veteran. And mr. Paavo Mattila placed Timon as BIS-3 veteran!! And we were smiling a lot :)
Even though Timon was soooo hot, he showed himself bravely also in group 5 and the Danish judge mrs. Hanne Laine Jensen gave the first prize to our lovely gentleman!!

We had again our hopes up for the BIS competition, as the judge was mr. Paavo Mattila. And guess what? Timon was BIS-3!! We are naturally thrilled. Thank you for these pics Helena Tampio.

Seti and Lilja win again in Sweden!!

I was so happy to hear the news from Sweden again last Saturday. Seti and Lilja went to Piteå International, the entry was 7. The results were great, as Seti won BOB this time and sister Lilja was BOS!!! Wonderful, beautiful siblings! Congrats Tiia and Mervi.
