31.7.-1.8.2010 I made another trip to Tallinn. Yes, also to dog shows but took my daughters with me and we spent some good time together... shopping and swimming. In shows I showed junior litter sisters Mille & Ronja. Ronja got excellent both days. Mille was BOS on Saturday, gaining junior CC. On Sunday the judge didn't like him too much and he got very good.

20.6.2010 Saga's puppies already 5 wks! Pretty black boy is looking for a serious show home.

16.5.2010 As if the 1500kms up north and back were not enough, we drove back down to Riihimäki just for a funny day training our kids at a puppy show! This time we had Mille, Ronja (S. Summer Romance), Austin and Unni in the ring. The day was hottest hot, but our kids were not tired at all. In males Mille went 1st again, and little Austin who was showing so well, right after him 2nd in male puppies. In bitches Unni was the pick of the judge, and Ronja became right after her. We are so proud of our pretty breeder's class again, too pity there is no pictures of that.

15.5.2010 Sanna & Saana & I heading to Skellefteå, Sweden to SSRK's specialty show. It was a long trip but sure worth it. We had so much fun and the results were stunning. I was showing Tilli, Ch Pointbreak Spice Of Life, who went best female, gained CAC and finished Swedish show championship. BOB went to Great Vamos, Ch Very Vigie Vamos A La Playa, who later on was BIS of the day - the judge Tarja Hovila practically had no choice! Vamos just flew around the ring. Enjoy the pictures, he is breathtaking. Another new Swedish show champion was made when English Cocker Bleper's Yabba Dabba Doo went BOB with Sanna. Congrats to Vamos' owner Joelle and Yabba's owner Jaana as well!
