Again the event of the year was upon us. The annual Club Show. Every year we gather with friends and show our dogs under breed specialists from the States.

Thank you so much dear friends for a SUPERB day! And my warmest congratulations to all the winners! BIG one for Maarit and Pekka for Raipe's super day!

Enjoy!

12.10.2014 Lahti, Finnish ACC Club Show

judge: Rita Crowe, kennel Fanny-Hill's, USA

The day started with ASCOBS where Miro - C.I.B Exclamation Miracle On Ice was second in Champion class.

Then we moved on to blacks where in males Balt JCh Exclamation Before The Dawn was 3rd in juniors. Joe son Raipe, Little Life Really Royal Dynasty WON THE VARIETY! Yes, very proud! Huge congrats Outi, Maarit and Pekka!!

In females little girl Mila, Balt Jch Exclamation Dusk Till Dawn also WON THE VARIETY from junior class over champions! SO PROUD!

As we didn't have any partis this year with coat we relaxed a while and moved then onto the cut-down class. First it was males where I had Miro's multitalented brother, the agility and obedience boy Mike, Exclamation Miracle Hunter. Mike gave us a big surprise by WINNING the males over International Champions. Congrats Viivi and Teea!!!!

Then we moved onto females, where our Sisi, Ch Exclamation Time To Remember made her comeback to the rings after her maternity leave. Her puppies were only 3 months old and what did mommy do....... WON the females...... and was BEST IN SHOW CUT DOWN!!!!! So happy and proud. Her joy of showing could be seen for miles, and that is the what the judge said : She just can't get enough.... And it shows. To top the females, our very own Fiona, Exclamation Dare To Dream was second to Sisi. Way to go Fiona and Greta!

Then it was time to cheer for the Best In Show line up. I must say I felt particularly proud as the blacks where both from our Joe, C.I.B Afterglow Tokyo Joe. I know it's kind of a cliche but oh so true.... Have to quote Pat Craig Trotter: 

When you look at a dog's pedigree, it tells you what he OUGHT to be....
When you look at a dog in the ring, it tells you what he SEEMS to be....
When you look at a dog's progeny, it tells you what he IS.

BOV BLACKS Raipe & Mila

 The day ended with Raipe being BEST IN SHOW 3rd and Mila BEST IN SHOW 5th!!! What a great success as Raipe is still under two years and Mila only a year!!!
