Pelle´s next shows updated.
 

 
21.11.2008 We have snow in Kotka! Pelle has enjoyed his very first snow experience. So far so good - snow seems to be a one big toy: it´s moving when you touch it and it tastes funny.

New gallery "Pelles first snow" launched.

 
15.11.2008 Today we spend a nice day at very first Finnish RR Speciality in Lahti. Expert of the day was Mrs. Cheryl Curie-Thompson AUS and breed entry was 84. Wow!

Critiques added to shows page. This was our last show for this year so let´s back to business on 2009.

 

02.11.2008 What a show weekend for our clown from Sweden! On Saturday we were in Espoo Puppy Show (all breed) under judge Ms. Tuula Savolainen (breed and group competition). RR entry was only 2. Pelle won the baby male class with HP and was awarded as BOB-puppy. In finals he placed nicely as BIG-1 puppy.

On Sunday we took part to SSKY (head organisation of Finnish RR club) all breed Puppy Show in Vantaa. RR entry was 6 (4 baby boys, 2 baby girls) and judge for the day was Ms. Soile Bister, FI (both breed and group competition). Pelle placed 1st in baby male class with HP and was chosen as BOB-puppy. In the group finals he again won the group so final placement also today BIG-1.

Go Pelle! Pelle´s shows page updated with critiques. I´ll add more pictures when I manage to get some...

04.10.2008 Both of the boys, Uno & Pelle took part to unofficial lure coursing competition (speeding competition, 80 metres) in Kotka.

Uno was dreaming a little bit in a start and wasn´t on the best act, but placed 23th (out of 132 dogs) with time 7,48 seconds in maxi class. Pelle placed 2nd in puppy class with time 9,08 seconds. This was Pelles first time after a lure.

17.07.2008 Pelle is doing fine and has grown up a lot (15 kg this week). He´s playing with "uncle Uno" every day and Pelle thinks Uno is the coolest guy on this planet. Pelle likes swimming, hunting, eating magazines, painting a house, ducks and food. He seems to be a one happy little puppy.

 
28.06.2008 We did a nice holiday trip to Silute National Show, Lithuania. Uno ended his "active" show career with style and placed BOB, BIG-1 and finally BIS-5. He also became a new Lithuanian and Baltic Champion. Breed and group judge was Mr. Henryk Stepka, Poland and Best In Show was judged by Mr. Piotr Krol, Poland.

We were supposed to take two shows in Silute but after getting the CAC in Saturday I decided to start a holiday and forget the show in Sunday. It seemed to be a good choice because it was all rain in Sunday.

Shows page updated.

Picture: Noub... it didn´t lead this way, let´s try another direction.

Few pictures coming when I find the wire for the camera...

 
10.05.2008

Congratulations my birthay boy. Uno turned 5 years today and we had a big "children party" for Uno´s best friends. The theme for the party was pirates and as can be seen in the picture Uno was also dressed according to the theme (and so was our guests).

I want to thank Unos breeders, Sanna & Pasi for giving me this wonderful and very special male. I couldn´t have had a better dog. Uno has been a challenge for me but it has been a nice challenge to take! I´m very satisfied with this handsome, healthy and funny guy.
 



 

30.04.2008 FINALLY: We have moved in to our house. Since now I try to be a better person what comes to contacting my friends and spending time with Uno (and updating my pages if I just get this damned connection to work).

Next shows updated.

 
21.04.2008 On thursday morning we started a looooong trip to Norway. 18 people and 32 dogs headed to North-Norway, to Harstad to take part one International show. 2700 kilometres total, wonderful views and... nothing to bring home from the show ;)

Uno result was CH EXC1, BM-2, reserv-CACIB by judge Petru Muntean (RO).

On Jackrusselterrier ring Mauno (CH Miimoksen Bolboshoenus) got CH EXC1, BM-3 and Tellu (Boldandbrainy Walk With Me) EXC1, BB-2, CACIB under judge Nils Molin (SE). Tellu won quite big open class and got the only CQ in the class. Only 2 CQ´s was awarded to bitches.

Congratulations to Annemari for Tellus first CACIB and first performance outside the junior class. Also thanks for the lovely trip to my usual dog show partner Ansku and everyone else in our bus for a funny company. Special thanks for the back seat girls Sanna and Marjo and a big congrats for the new champions!

13.04.2008 5 little puppies (2 boys and 3 girls) were born in kennel Murumbi (SE) today. All puppies seems to be showquality. Mother and puppies are doing well. We are following them to grow with a great interest.

Congratulations breeder Libban and mother Bisquit (Dea Decoras Bisquit) for such a great litter.

 
04.04.2008 Greetings from hot India (South Goa). We spend 2 weeks vacation there and came back to Finland today.

 
01.03.2008 We bought an old house in 10th January and since then we have spend all the free time (free from work and sleep) repairing and renoviering the oldie. Uno HATES hanging around in the building site becouse no one has time to play with him and there´s dirt everywhere (our little prins...) He has figured a way to make his own fun with stealing the hammers, screw drivers and other needed stuff. Also ripping the gloves from peoples hands is a great fun. Yesterday he suprised me by throuwing up a whole leather glove (in one piece) - my 5 year old who has never done anything like that before...

So that´s my excuse not to update my site. Well - on the otherhand there´s nothing to update except: "today we take down the wall between old livingroom and bedroom etc."

New gallery "On the building site" coming soon.

 
26.01.2008 International show in Turku. Ridgeback entry xx and our judge was Mr. Christian Juanchricot (FR). Uno gained Excellent in champion class and placed 3rd in class competition.
Shows page updated with critique.
