10,5 year old Donna (C.I.B Finsweng Dancing Queen) at Mikkeli IDS July 2018 |
For instance, our soon 11-year-old Donna, or officially C.I.B Finsweng Dancing Queen is still dancing, or in fact, rocking. She was entered in seven shows during 2018. Besides one BOB and many BB-placements she was three times BOB-veteran and three times BOS-veteran. She was always classed as as Certificate Class (which is the highest individual valuation a dog can get in its individual evaluation). In Pieksämäki show she was BIS-3-veteran and in Mikkeli IDS she was shortlisted among 6 best veterans.
Finsweng Onnenpoika, aka Luka, won BIS-4-veteran in Puumala 26.5.2018 |
Donna's son Luka, officially Finsweng Onnenpoika (and father to my V-litter ) won his mother at Puumala show the 26.May, 2018, and won BIS-4-veteran. This was his only show in 2018.
Both mentioned veterans have been part of my Breeder's Groups which have been highly appreciated at many shows; seven BOB, twice BIS-1, twice BIS-3 and twice BIS-4.
As you can understand, as a dog owner and breeder I'm so happy to live with such healthy and long-living breed. Oldies are golden, also as pets.
