Tallinn International 23.-24.8.2014

Outi, Henna and I took a trip to Tallinn. We had few dogs with and did some shopping and dining and relaxing. Thank you girls for another memorable weekend!

Though arriving on Friday I was not convinced it was a good idea to even travel.....
Let's just say that I've driven in many kind of weathers and situations but this was one of the most out there ones ever..... LOL.

But the weekend was simply super. I want to than everyone for so many congratulations and of course Outi - Miro has given us (and will continue to do so...) so many great moments. Thank you for sharing it all!!!!!!

So now I can proudly present my second homebred second generation International Champion. Finishing as well, only 1 year and 5 days since his first CACIB. And he is still only 2,5 yrs old.

The highlight of the year, no doubt about that. It was especially nice to meet up with many friends from around the world. I want to thank each and every one for a memorable three days! Hope to see you all soon. xx

Well, we did have dogs entered there too. On Friday americans were judged by John Reeve-Newson from Canada. Alex (E. Before The Dawn) got EXC in a very though competition and we are so happy about the little boy! Nothing much else to report. LOL.

On Saturday fauves were judged by Bo Skalin from Sweden. It was so great to meet up with Elisabeth and see Uno again. Still my no 1 boy. Basil (E. Le Chiffre) got a great critique and won his class with superb comments from the judge but due to his age and vanishing hair he got VG. Happy about him, nevertheless. Nessi (C.I.B Easeful Cafe Espresso) won champion class and got res.CACIB.

On Sunday I was actually really, really nervous.... Tara out pudelpointer (Ch & Multi W Aika Von Der Engelburg) was judged by a german judge, a person who knew the breed, mr Horst Kilebestein, the president of FCI judges committee. Tara showed as usual, her happy beautiful self and the judge loved her. So now we can add FINNISH CHAMPION & WORLD WINNER-14 titles on her! Yej!!!!

I want to also congratulate a super talented young handler Dominyka Kolesova from Lithuania, who competed with our Armas, C.I.B Exclamation Beyond The Horizon in the Junior handling competition and was placed among TOP 3 (out of 110) on Sunday under Juha Palosaari and qualified to the Finals!
