Ruuti Group-2 at Eno show!

This time it was Tuija, Ruuti's owner who took him to this show. The breed judge mr. Paavo Mattila really liked our boy and so the BOB prize was given to him!

The group was judged by mr. Reino Korpela and to our joy Ruuti was placed 2nd!! Extremely well done Tuija, so happy for you!

Here a picture of him taken last summer at our Specialty, where he was 2nd best male!

Jyväskylä International - succesful again!

A lovely day once again at this always very well organized show. The judge was a very interesting Englishman, mr. Gavin Robertson. He was obviously appealed to Ruuti as he won the best male with a cacib!! And sweet and beautiful Lilja, she won the bitches once again with a cc number..?
Ruuti was chosen as Best of Breed this time. Our gentleman Timon was BOB-veteran, I enjoy showing him after a few years break again. Extremely happy after the day!

Ruuti is a new champion plus something about Lilja....

A week ago we took Ruuti and Timon to Tuusniemi show. The judge was mr. Urosevic from Serbia. Ruuti was Best of Breed and became a new Finnish Champion!! Timon was 2nd best male and BOB-veteran. In the finals mr. Pekka Teini placed Ruuti as 4th best in Group :))



At the same time Mervi took Lilja to Pello show. The judge over there was lovely mrs. Elina Haapaniemi. She did like Lilja when she was a puppy, and so did she like her today giving her an excellent critique with BOB and a cc :)
In the finals Lilja managed to win the joined group of 2 and 5!! Thank you judge mrs. Saija Juutilainen!



Finally she was Best in Show 2!! Amazing day for Hi-Lite. Two different dogs bred by us placed in a group the same day :)

The next day Lilja went on winning BOB again. This time is was the Finnish Show judges association Specialty show for Group 5 dogs. It was mrs. Paula Heikkinen-Lehkonen this time giving Lilja a lovely critique :)

A couple of weeks back Janne and I went to the famous Champion of Champions gala dinner show, invitation only. It was Ruuti that was invited being one of the most top winning show dogs in Finland year 2013. We had a blast and enjoyed every minute of it! Ruuti even managed to get to the second round! We are very proud of him.

Show year 2014 had an amazing start!!!

As always, the show year starts at wintery Kajaani International show. This year was no exception, it WAS cold in the hall..

The judge was mr. Francesco Cochetti from Italy, a new acquaintance to us. We were happy to see the young master Seti (HL Wise Guy) to enter the show. He did a wonderful job with his owner Tiia and won the junior class with an excellent and cq.
Ruuti on the other hand, who was entered in open class, had major problems with his chain collar (like he sometimes has - papa Duke has the exact same habit!!) and didn't gait at all but wanted to scratch his neck all the time :D Well, we know how he would look like then. Funny! Excellent to him this time.

I was very happy to show our "old" man Timon for the first time in years. He has been resting at home waiting to turn 8 years that allows him to enter to veteran class. Well, it was like he has never been out of the ring. He truly showed his paws to the younger ones not only winning BOB-veteran but also best male 1! I was so happy! And what made me even more happy, was Seti's placement as 2nd best dog with a cc! It was Seti's 3rd show in official classes and cc number 2.... Congrats Tiia!

When miss Lilja entered the ring, it was quite obvious who was going to be Best of Breed... She looked amazing, like always, so the BOB-junior and BOB titles were given to her. Great! This is the best pic we could manage with in the ice cold hall.



In the finals first out was Lilja in Royal Canin Junior competition. Mrs. Saija Juutilainen shortlisted her out of maybe 50-60 juniors, so we were very pleased.
Then it was time to choose the Best Veteran In Show. The jugdge was mr. Paavo Mattila, who gave Timon BIS-2 prize!!! Amazing boy he is <3

The it was time for the Group 5 to be judged. I was so excited because a dog after dog Lilja still stayed on in the competition... And finally won!!! She won Group-1 in very tough competition! Thank you mrs. Ligita Zake!



Huge congrats Mervi and JP!!! And thanks to Tuija for keeping me company <3 We will see what the rest of the year will bring us :)
