2009 In a nutshell

During 2009 we were blessed with some new arrivals and one that left too soon...
In combined Tessi, Roma, Tony, Foxy, Orlando and Isadora were shown only 38 times but achieved excellent results with some very nice new titles.

Roma  had a fabulous year in the rings with Mikko! To sum it all up she finished the year 2009 as
Finlands #1 Afghan bitch of 2009!!
In 2009 Roma also obtained her International Ch title as well as Est Ch and last but definately Not least NordW-2009. A special mention goes out Petra Kiuru and Carita Toikka whom have also given their help in Romas "fitness training" :-)

Tony took part in a few shows and brought with him home some BOB's and a new Ch title!
In 2010 the object is to show more abroad in aim for some more new Ch titles.

Isadora finished her Finnish Ch title and also attained the LT Ch title! Isadora is now in the waiting year for her International Ch title as she cannot finnish until mid August.
Isadora will be bred in 2010 and the male will be revealed later.

Tessi was quite sparingly shown but each time out she was undefeated in the veteran ring.
Although Tessi is no youngster anymore she is quite the lively and energetic little girl.

Foxy was born this summer and has already made her mark in the rings!
She has been shown at two all breeds puppy shows with grand success!!
Foxy is now just hanging out at home and maturing and will begin her BIG girls career this spring.

Justin arrived in the fall to delight us with his happy maners.
Mikko had for a long time been thinking about having a new setter. An interesting combination was born and the possibility to have one was offered. We anticipate for Justin to have a brilliant career that hopefully will begin in 2010.

Orlando was our newest afghan addition. He came in the wintery spring from Germany and we were thrilled to have him with us. This young gorgeous stallions story was so, so short. Orlando lost the very short fight to an extremely aggressive viral infection that took over his lungs. From his very first symtom until he took his last breath was only 28 hours. We are over wrought with sadness, longing and pain. Rest in peace our young and handsome friend... you left us way way too soon.

We are looking forward to see what 2010 has to offer us...
