Hippi group #4 in Helsinki!

On Saturday we entered two shows, Hippi stayed at Helsinki all breed show and Nicki went to Raisio all breed show with me.

In Helsinki Hippi did great, Best Of Breed and 4th in group competition under judge Juha Putkonen. Hippi was beautifully handled by Kirsi Hotanen, big thank you! Hippi loves to be in the ring and seems to do well in groups too, so why not show her? There are people, who think otherwise, but let them think what they want, and I do what I want ;)

In Raisio Nicki showed very well too, I'm very very pleased with her, especially with her movement :) She took BB-2 with res-CAC (this is NOT funny anymore ;)) under judge Peter Harsanyi from Hungary.

It was a nice day with nice company, the weather was lovely too :)

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 :)
