The best Christmas present ever..

Got a phone call from Minni's co-owner at 2.30 AM on Christmas Eve and started driving fast in the snow storm... The birth was very easy and all the puppies were born by 6.30. Minni is being an excellent mother to her 5 sons and 1 girl :)

The puppies look just adorable and are strong and healthy and gaining weight. There was a need for more girls, but as only 1 is here, she will stay with her mom.
This is why there are 2 boys available to the right homes. If interested, please contact me for all your questions: hansukytta@hotmail.com or tel. +358-44-5381688.

Here some photos of the puppies 1 day old, enjoy!

It's Christmas time

Hi-Lite would like to say Merry Christmas to all our friends all over the world!
Take care of all your loved ones.

-Hansu & Janne-

Puppies will arrive soon(ish)....

Herewith a photo of Minni, on day 51 one in this one. As you can see, the tummy is quite big already.
Her co-owner Katja started to measure the temperature yesterday and it seems that the puppies will arrive before Christmas.... We are soooooo excited and cannot wait for the little princess and princesses to arrive :)))

2 Junior Winners!!!

Last weekend we had the biggest dog show event in Finland, the yearly winner shows in Helsinki.
On Saturday the judge mrs. Säde Hohteri fell in love with our young Rocky, well at least that's what we think she thought when reading the critique of Rocky... ;)
So he won the junior class and got the title Helsinki Junior Winner 2011!!

The others entered on Sat was Hertta, who got vg and CAO Faruk, who had g.

On Sunday the jugde was mr. Cox from Ireland. This time Rocky was again the best Finnish junior male, excellent 2. The winner was his Estonian cousin, both most handsome youngsters! Maisa was 3rd in the big champion class, with cq.


Hertta's photo by Kirsi Villberg, this was taken in August.

Our princess today was Hertta, who can now call herself Fi Jw-11 Hi-Lite Hula Hoops!! She moved and looked beautifully and won the junior class of 6 girls. We are so very proud of these young dogs and are grateful to their co-owners Mari and Laura!

Puppies definately on the way!!

Sweet Minni had an ultra scan today and she surely will have babies... ;)
Perhaps 7 plus something? LOL
The litter is due at Christmas Holidays.

Show weekend in Jyväskylä

And this weekend surely offered us some success as well :)
On Saturday the judge was mrs. Brenda Banbury from England. First our handsome youngster Rocky won the junior class and later on went 4th best dog with res-cc! All the Champion class boys before him make us proud too; as the best male was Tuuli's son Karma, 2nd best was Timon's son Jaro, who finished his Fi ch-title and 3rd was Rene - that is awesome!!
Also Robbe, Timon's Swedish born son was awarded cc-quality, beautifully handled by Janne :)
The queen of the day was anyway Maisa, winning BOB and later on the day also Group-2 under the same judge!! We felt amazing because of this great win - thank you <3

Photos of Maisa by Katja Lappalainen, thank you!





On Sunday Rocky was again 4th best male with a cc, this time judged by mr. Tino Pehar from Croatia. He got a lovely critique; and this was his 3rd official show in Finland, he has gained nicely 2 x cc and a res-cc!
Duke was 4th in ch class with a cq and Maisa was 2nd best bitch with res-cacib. Timon's young and promising son Robbe, a half brother to Rocky, won res-cc! Another Timon-son, German visitor Jaro, was BOB this day - congratulations Marcel and Tiina <3

Here is Robbe "Yulara Quickthorn" with Janne:

Our trip to Tartu, Estonia

Travelling abroad is mostly fun. Extremely tiring but fun! And so was this one also. Was so happy to make this trip with my friend Ari and his basenjis Finny and Siiri. I had the youngsters Rocky and Hertta with me.
There were 2 international shows and on Saturday the judge was from Italy, mr. Claudio de Giuliani. He fancied Rocky a lot as he made him first to win the junior class, then he went BOS-junior, to his sister, and was finally 2nd best male! Hertta-the-sister won BOB-junior title and obviously they both got junior ccs.

Mr Anatoli Zhuk from Belarussia was judging basenjis on Sunday and Rocky got an excellent also this time and Hertta was BOS-junior and to my pleasure she went all the way to 2nd best bitch (out of 10 out of which 4 were champions and she did beat them all!)!
I was honoured to help Ari in the BOB-BOS ring as Finny was best male and Siiri was best bitch from open class. So the trip was very successful and great from the beginning - thank you once more dear and congrats :))
