Varkaus all-breeds

Varkaus National show very close to us so we were there both days. On Saturday and in pouring rain it was the judging of basenjis under judge mrs. Jean Lanning from GBR. Joonas started it our for us getting another excellent in grading, well done boy! Gorgeous Duke was bm-3. Our smart moving co-owned junior bitch Minni won her class with excellent and cq and she finally was bb-3 with res-cc :-))) Maisa showed herself beautifully despite of the horrible rainy weather and went to win best bitch and BOS to her handsome brother Rene!! So a great day it was for all of us!! 

On Sunday we had Faruk in the ring. The judge mr. Michael Leonard from Ireland was very strict judging, but still gave Faruk "all", that is BOB with cc number 3!!! In the group finals he presented himself nicely but as he is totally "naked" at the moment, no more success this time. But it was a wonderful weekend with loads of lovely people and good friends :)

Helsinki INT

Another lovely day at Helsinki Int show with good company :-) Maisa is on the roll and won BOB with cacib!! The judge mr. Simon Parsons gave her a flattering critique, thank you! She was also shortlisted in the group finals. Thank you Tiina for breeding our sweet butterfly and trusting her to us and thanks for the company Tipi and Mirva!! C u soon :-))

Äänekoski group show

It was soooo much worth going to Äänekoski group show today with Maisa and the first timer Joonas (Hi-Lite Dating Bulldobas). The breed judge was mrs. Susanne Wendell (FIN) and Maisa won BOB #2 this season! Joonas did also well and got excellent in grading, but must still be trained a bit more ;) In the group finals Maisa was 2nd best in group under judge mrs. Leila Kärkäs (FIN) who is a breeder judge :-)) Thank you judges and Tiina & Johanna for this successful day!!

Lappeenranta INT

Lappeenranta Int show gave us some nice results as well. Maisa won BB-2 with res-cacib and Nikke won the intermediate class exc-1! The judge was mrs. Hanne Laine Jensen from Denmark and the entry was 23.Added all the critiques from the weekend and a nice photo of 4 month old Tico (Hi-Lite Honky Tonk). We were lucky to meet also Hertta and Rocky this weekend and they both look just lovely!

Lahti INT

A super show weekend at Easter time started at Lahti International Show and what a rocket start for Maisa's shows for year 2011: She won BOB out of 40 basenjis under judge mrs. Carmen Haller from Canada :-))) Great job she did after over 7 months show break and her puppies born in Dec. The day was fantastic otherwise as well; Maisa's brother Rene won BOS, Duke was 4th best male and young Nikke was exc-1 with cq in junior class. The crowning of the day was Bulldobas breeders class BIS-4 placement!! Congrats Tipi and thank you dear friends with your lovely company throughout the day. Special thanks to Taru for keeping me company :-)

Vaasa INT

We stopped our tiny show brake and entered to Vaasa international show where the judge was mr. Svein Helgesen from Norway. Entry was 18 and the news are fabulous: first Lego (Hi-Lite D'Light Bulldobas), who has by the way grown up into a handsome young man, won the junior class with excellent and qc. Duke then won the ch class with cq and we were sooo excited in the best male competition as Duke was 1st with cacib and Lego 2nd with cc!!!! It was Lego's 2nd show and 2nd cc ;) Super sweet black beauty of ours, Alli, was exc2 with cq in junior class. In the end Duke won BOB - we are so proud and happy about him. In the group finals he was also shortlisted among the best ones.

At the same trip Janne visited Faruk's breeders with our "little boy". We are pleased that he got nice criqitue from his breeder :-)

Alli's health results

The black beauty Alli (Kingwanas Greatest Story Of All) has had some health testing done with eyes having minor ppm and her thyroids are normal as well - great!
