Show results from August 2017

Better late than ever... below the results from the 4 shows our team enterred in August 2017.

Druskininkai 3x IDS in Lithuania 4.-6.8.17

One of my best friends, Seija Ristola (knl Funfanny's) and I made our traditional summer road trip (again) to southern Lithuania, the spa city of Druskininkai that once a year becomes the hearth of the Baltic dog show world when the three International Dog Shows take place the first weekend of August. Funny enough, one of the main languages in the village, beside Lithuanian and Russian is Finnish. THAT many Finnish dog show enthusiasts travel there even if the trip is long. 1055 km from my home in Finnish Lakeland But the this is always also an exotic and exciting trip, and till now (during 3 years) also we have great success in Druskininkai.
Me and Naatti, a new LT CH and CACIB winner
The Aussies Seija and I had "packed" into the car were (in order of age):
FI & EE & LT CH LVV-16 Kisamba's Dream Surfer aka Maisa and her son FI & LT CH Funfanny's I Have A Dream aka Jetro. Also Maisa's daughter, just 16-month-old Naatti (Finsweng Tadaa) was part of the orchestra, as well as our Australian import, 10-month old Horrieglen Supa Strike Force aka Schooner

The results from the 3 IDS's are:
Maisa: 2x CACIB, 1x BOB and 1x BOS
Jetro: 3x CACIB, 2x CAC => LT CH, 2x BOB
Naatti: 1x CACIB, 3x CAC => LT CH, res-CACIB, 1x BOS
Schooner: 2x jun-CAC => LT JCh, 1x BOS
Schooner trotted his way to jun-cac's and became LT JCh

Maisa won two CACIB during the weekend

Naatti got a nice critique and I got a good lesson in how to show my pretty girl. Apparently the judge Graham Nolan (Australia) really loved my Naatti, since even if I spoiled parts of her show (I forced her to a too high speed) she ended as 3rd best bitch among the 41 bitches! I'm stunned and so extremely happy of this selfbred rising star who also is the best pet you can imagine. Here is what judge Graham Nolan said about Naatti:
"Very nice bitch. Good head - balanced. Covers the ground.
When moving needs to go slower, reason: jonting."
