Kuopio 3 x int.

I was really expecting this weekend! Not only because 3 international shows in Kuopio (a tradition all ready), but mostly beacause great company in a lovely cottage in Tahko :) And fun we had, thanks to all: Satu, Jussi, Piia, Mari, Jarkko, Sanna, Satu, Lasse and all the dogs!

About shows, on friday Nicki won junior class with exc and CQ and placed 4th best bitch and got res-CAC under judge Wera Hübenthal from Norway. Big thanks to Maija for handling Nicki!

On saturday and sunday  Nicki was shown for first time in juvenile class, which was a mistake from me. She is still so "junior", that she looked like a baby with those older girls! But still, nice job from our little girl: EXC2 with CQ. Saturdays judge was Elena Ruskovaara and sundays Nicola Imbimbo from Italy.

This was best thing for Nicki: playing ,running and swimming (ou yes)  with other dogs :)

Pretty nice weekend for Nicki!

We had a very nice weekend showing with little Nicki. She has developed nicely, even though she is losing her coat...

On Saturday we were in Pori international show, judged by Marianne Holm. Nicki won junior class and placed 4th in best bitch competition and got res-CAC.

On Sunday we traveled to Mikkeli. There in international show Nicki did the same, won junior class and placed 4th in bitches with res-CAC. Pems were judged by Maija Sylgren. Big thanks to Maija Kosunen for handling Nicki!

What a nice weekend with nice friends!

Nuka is now having a holiday with my sisters kids in Luvia!

We also took some nice pics of Nicki, age 15 months. Photos by Anneli Sutela.

Birthday Boys and Girls!

Time flies... too fast, I'd say! Retu is having his 13th birthday! Hope he will get many more <3 He is in good shape, little selective hearing doesn't matter!

Also Retu & Hippi babies had their 2nd Birthday last week! Happy Birthday to all of them, hope they will have a great hunting season ahead now, since thay are all grown up :)

Amazing weekend in Joensuu

On Saturday Hippi took BOB and GROUP #3 (breed Paavo Mattila, group Tino Pehar)! Very nice result in a big show for drever. Nita was BB-3 and little Nicki got very good this time under Elina Haapaniemi.

On SundayS international show Hippi did even better, BOB, CACIB and GROUP #2 (breed Tuula Savolainen, group Paavo Mattila)! I'm so happy! In corgi ring Nita took BOS & CACIB and Nicki EXL2 under Pirjo Aaltonen. Jonna did a very nice job handling Nicki in both shows, thanks!

Parikkala group show 5.5.2012

Hippi is back in show rings!

We had a freezing but nice day in Parikkala. Wearther was cold cold cold and rainy, but does it matter?

After change of judge corgies were judged by Leni Finne. Hilma got excellent and placed second in juniors, no CQ. Nita... well Nita was wilder than ever and had a real circus! But still took BOB, in critique it says that she is a really happy dog!

Drevers were judged by Juha Putkonen both in breed and group. Hippi took BOB & BOG-3 and Track-Action Upsis (Retu x Hippi) took BB-2 with CAC! She is growing up so nicely!
