HELSINKI WINNER 2009 & NORDIC WINNER 2009
Last shows of the year, and we can rest for a while!

On Saturday we had Diva and Luna, and Unski (E Fix The Feathers). Unski got jun VG. With Diva I am really pleased, her result was junior EXC, but the best part was that she moved like she should, not jumping all the time! Luna champion EXC3. Judge Moray Armstrong, UK.

On Sunday we had Bono, Peppi (E Fame And Glory), Diva and Luna, also Veeti (E Full Of Feathers) was shown. Veeti was beautifully shown by young Nelli, he got jun G, Bono in a tuff open class EXC4, junior girls Diva and  Peppi VG, and Luna champion EXC2. Judge Tiina Illukka.

TURKU INT. NOVEMBER SHOW
We had dachshund Taika for the last time in puppy class. She behaved very well, and got puppy 1st HP and BOB-puppy! Judge was Malgorzata Supronowicz, Poland. In setters Onni (E Fiery Feathers) was in junior class, and got very nicely VG1, congrats Mari & Onni! Bono in open class EXC1 and Best Male 3, and Eevert (E Evergreen) VG. Tiia Nyberg also had Bono in Junior Handler competition, and they were placed 2nd in older handlers class! In junior bitches we had Diva, who just got 9 months old day before the show, she still likes to jump in movement, but it was better that in Jyväskylä. The judge thought Diva is "Full of promise. Quality outlines. Racy and elegant." Onnis sister Peppi (E Fame And Glory) was also in juniors, and she got VG3. Last was Luna in champion class, and she got EXC1, and later in Best Bitch, CACIB and BOS! Judge was Andrew Brace, UK. Big thaks to Riitta and Johanna for all your help!

JYVÄSKYLÄ INT. CACIB SHOW
In Jyväskylä we had puppies Diva and Taika, and Bono in open class. Taika got puppy 2nd with a very very nice critique from the judge Hannele Jokisilta. There were a lot (14) of red setter puppies in the ring, and Diva got also a very nice critique, unfortunately she needs practise of running, she thinks it's just fun to jump all the time :) Bono's son Ilo was also in the ring, but he also thinks it's fun to jump a lot, and no placement for him, he also got a very nice critique. Bono got open EXC3, but after I had to leave to the dachshund ring, Vilja Vehkaoja handled him in the best dog class. And then it got interesting... When we got back to the setter ring, it was unbeliavable to see the CACIB-rosette on Bono's cage! The judge had chosen Bono as best dog! Bono moves so well with Vilja, and now they had big enough ring to run, and because of the movement the judge changed the placings. As if that was not enough, Vilja handled him all the way to Best Of Breed! In the group Bono was shown by Asta Nummenranta, who did a great job. There was room, and Bono being quite a big dog with huge movement, had really enough space to show his movement. He was not placed, but we did not expect placing from the groupjudge. Judge for the breed was Mr. Cristian Vantu, Romania, and in the group Martin Johansson, Sweden.

Many thanks to Vilja and Asta for the help in the showing, and to Nina for preparing Bono for the group!

JANUARY 2009
The past year was very for us in the show ground, and mostly with our dachshund Rosa. She did have pretty nice success; In Helsinki BOB and CAC, in Eckerö Int. she was BOS with CAC and CACIB, in Kotka Int. 2nd best bitch with CAC, and from Turku Int., Järvenpää and Helsinki Int. res-CAC. From Stockholm World Winner show she got the title Junior World Winner, and in World Dachshund Speciality she was BOB-junior and BIS4 junior. Rosa also had her eyes and knees examined, and they were perfect. Also we went to see the fox for few times, and we hope to train more hopefully after puppies.

Bono was shown for a few times, and he got some nice best dog placements. He is still young, and has time to go to shows. Luna was is the ring in Stockholm World Winner show, and was placed second in champion class.

In the spring we imported a bitch puppy from Belgium, Trawricka Heart O Gold, and wait for her to mature a bit. She is to us from a very interesting combination, Supertrouper v.h. Adelaarsvaren x Hillsborough Charmed.

Our long time dream came true in Octobe, when Luna got puppies by our own Copper's Feather In My Cap (Justus). We kept one very lively bitch, Entice Fame And Glory. She lives with her own people in Helsinki. All of the puppies got great homes, and we hope to see them also in the show rings.

Milla's (E Butterfly) puppies had hip x-rays with excellent results: E Esmeralda HD A/A and ED 0/0, E Enigma A/A, 0/0, E Especial Moth A/A, 0/0, E Evergreen B/B, 0/0!

Bono also mated a bitch at the end of the year, Northworth Red New Pillow. Rosa also started her season, and she is also mated. We hope both are successfulls, and there will be red puppies, bigger and smaller ones!
