Top progeny australian terrier male in Finland 2016

On Friday we got nice mail from Finnish Aussie club, when Roope's price arrived.

 C.I.B. Horrieglen Blue Legend is TOP 1 progeny aussie male in Finland 2016! 

Very happy and proud :) As a first hint; Roope will probably be grandpa during the spring, stay tune...

Hint of spring in the air!

In February and beginning of March the winter here in Finnish Lakeland is as its best, and during the many sunny days there is also promise of spring in the air. And believe or not, but the February's sun in warming so much that you can walk without jacket on the ice! This is a photo from a typical "daily escape" from my work and everyday stuff. Since we have plenty of space here in Finnish Lakeland the dogs can run free and you don't need to be afraid to meet anybody. Perfect for balancing my work! Every now and then I need to plan my routes better and keep the dogs' leeds on hand, since we rent lakeside cottages and our guests also enjoy the walks and skiing on the frozen lake. Btw, did you know that February is the month with most light here in Finland? It's because of the snow's mirroring effect plus it's often high pressure and sun in February.

Typical weather in February. A pure joy walking with my dear aussies.

PS. Photos from Valga dog show 5.2.17 is coming soon.

Team Finsweng & first official dog show 2017

The show year of 2017 for our team, kennel Finsweng started in southern Estonia, in Valga the 4th of February. Here Team Finsweng consisted of my husband Pasi and my girls Selma (7 years) and Ida (13 years) and 3 Finsweng aussies and Muro ( PMJV-14 Melukylän Zuppaduida ) , and of course, me too :-) I'm so proud of us all; even if it was rushy at the ringside (and in the ring) my girls were great help in handling our dog, they helped me to fix them before the show, and both Pasi and Ida took photos. The lightening and crowd in the hall made it difficult to take pics, and both had to assist in passing dogs to the ring, but many nice shots was anyway saved from the day. Here below a gallery from Saturday's All Breed show in Valga.

Finsweng Tadaa aka Naatti at her two first official shows

Last weekend all our family visited the town of Valga in souther part of Estonia. On both Saturday the 4th of February, 2017, and on Sunday the 5th of February, 2017, National all breed shows were held. Since two of our family members are eager photographers I have two cameras with nice photos to share to you! However, work makes an obstacle to blog writing, so here just shortly about our new star, 10-month-old Naatti (Finsweng Tadaa, d.o.b 21.3.2016) who won BOB ja BOB-junior both days, and won also BIG-4 on Sunday! I'm so super happy and proud of this wonderful little girl that I lost my heart to already when she was 5 minutes old. She is the most happy and easy companion at home, but also a natural show girl. She really makes my dog show hobby to an easy, relaxing and fun activity! Here three photos taken on Sunday 5.2.2017 by Ida Turunen (my 13-year-old daughter). A gallery of photos from the both trips and full results within coming days.

Finsweng Tadaa, just 10 months old, won BIG-4 among a big group of grown-up terriers!

I'm so happy of my little girl. She is the most wonderful pet you can imagine, but she's also a natural show girl.
