JANUARY

TURKU 21.1.2012 Very early, at 3:00 a.m. I left home to go to Turku International Dog Show. We travelled with Päivi (Blockhead´s bobtails) and she had Lily with her. Closer to Turku it was very snowy and windy... but we arrived safely and on time.

Our original judge was changed and mr Hans Lehtinen took the breed. He is very well known and strickt and none of Juniors got anything... only ring training... :) Hippu was the best Junior winning the Class and with excellent critique!!! She needs only time!!! :))) Total entries was 6 and there wasn´t BOB at all....

Bobtail-Lily "saved the day" beeing BOS with Cacib + CC.... So, we were on time at home ;)) as nobody didn´t have to stay in the group finalist...

Aqua IS COMING BACK HOME SOON!!!! She was some months in Portugal and mated there ... she is PREGNANT!!! Hopefully the flight goes well, she will deal it well and we will have a nice "bunch" of pups in February. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED OF THIS LITTER, don´t hesitate to contact! I´ll tell you more about this combination.

LAHTI GROUP 1 & 2 15.1.2012 was the first show of 2012 and we were there with FF She Wolf “Hippu” and FF Poker Face “Poke“; my friend Päivi (Blockhead´s bobtails) took some photos like a paparazz... :) Brita handled Hippu who was BOS - Thank you Brita!!! (at the photo too ;)

I COULDN´T EVER BELIEVE THIS !!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT A HATTRICK POKER FACE!!! ;)) He was BOB with CAC and her sister SHE WOLF was BOS!!! She got also CAC and littermates are only 1 year old! Our judge Soile Bister was THRILLED!!!! She liked them and Poke was her Big Favorite!!

AT the group - which was very excited - Poke was best of 5 of the hole group under mrs Soile Bister - Thank you mrs Bister !!!!

HELSINKI FINNEXPO 4.12.2011 WINNER 2011

FF She Wolf “Hippu” Aand FF Only One “Tihru” has entered to Winner -11. Hopes weren´t high after Jyväskylä... but as this is the last show in Finland and the highlight of 2011... Our breed was judged by mrs Carla Molinari Portugal and she said that Hippu is too long in body (?) and didn´t give CQ to her. BUT Tihru (FF Only One) won best female and she was BOS with title Winner -11 !!!! As there was 18 entries this wasn´t bad at all.... :))) FF Romulus ´Pertti´ won CAC and he moved so great that I am sure we´ll hear and see him more in future...!!!

There was also some other Funfuns : FF Bonito Comanshe G, FF Pinoccio and FF Titanium Black exc+BM3. ”Becas” got VG - and I was dissopointed....but he got the BIS HEAD & BIS coat of Club Show . Either ”Tihru" didn´t made as expected....Exc., BF4.

It was a hot and beautifull day and all who entered their dogs into the Club Show -which I organized together with Nette. THANKS to you Nette, hopefully we can cooperate in future!! I hope that our judge was pleased to see so many "serras" in a show!!!

Spanish waterdogs, judging mrs Leni Finne .... hmmm.... our little Neccu had ONLY Good!?!? Well......... we shaved her coat away day after and she´ll have some "day off" from the shows. You´ll hear us later... :))))

Just covered the Club Show and then:

Saturday morning (EARLY) 15.5 we left with Eeva to Lappeenranta into Group Show. I was hoping to have CAC to Becas as thow he´ll finish his FI Champion title!! I took Tihru "only for fun" :))) Mrs Paula Heikkinen-Lehkonen -our judge- didn´t let me down …DOM DA CASA DA COSTA had his CAC and now he is a new FI Champion !!!! Tihru was BOB and Becas BOS!!! Tihru won Becas for better movement and she was placed into best 8 in the Group, but no Group placement.... under mr Miroslav Redlicki. THIS DAY was a VERY SPECIAL DAY!!! Also Eeva´s pumi was the best Junior with CAC + BOB!!!

Congratulations Helen & Joao!!

The day was really a sunny day - thank you everyone!!

Now it is time to settle down for puppies………..28. of May is the due day to Aqua :))))

Also waiting my holiday..... HAVE A VERY NICE & HAPPY SUMMER!!!!
