We have NORDIC WINNERS!

Mervi, Tuija and I took a crazy trip to Oslo one week ago by car, and as we decided to drive the Northern route, it was a long one. 1700 kms per direction. Phuuh is an understatement.

On Friday it was time for the Nordic Winner show. The judge was mr. Per Lundström from Sweden. The entry was 31 and our results for 2 dogs were great. Ruuti was 3rd best male and Lilja was 2nd best bitch with a cc and res-cacib!

But on Sunday we truly did hit the jackpot out of 31 basenjis under judge mr. Martin Croeser from RSA. He loved Lilja and she was BOB and Ruuti was the winner of the males and BOS. They both got cacibs, ccs and titles Nordic Winner 2014!! Ruuti can also call himself a brand new No ch!!

Thank you girls for this exhausting but lovely trip!! And our special and sincere thanks go to Liv and Dag, you know why <3 These photos below are by team Kingwanas!

Mikko was kind enought to have entered Duplo (HL Super Trouper) and they got an excellent in open class. Great job Mikko, keep it going!

Then it was our girls' turn. I was so happy and pleased about Luna (HL Cotton Candy). She won the junior class of 4 and got an excellent and was 3rd best bitch with a res-cc! Wondeful start for her career....

Lilja (HL Wow Factor) was 2nd best bitch with a cc <3 Our breeders group got this beautiful critique: "Very nice group with well balanced dogs with nice temperaments and typical swift movement. Very good details for the breed, I like this group very much." Thank you Mari, Jenni and Jukka for this super happy day!
