Super Baltic Show Weekend for Finsweng

I'm so super happy, grateful and proud of my Finsweng team and the results we got last weekend! Three International dog shows in two countries, 3x CACIB, 5x CAC and 2 R-CACIB. In Narva we faced some difficulties getting "proper show pics" but despite poor light condition and lack of "hands" on the ringside, s'il vous plaît, her is our story and photos from Finsweng's Super Baltic Show Weekend.

During the weekend the 17.-18. March, 2018, in "this corner of the world" three big Intenational Dog Shows were held. One in Narva, Estonia, and two in Riga, Latvia. Part of the Finsweng team headed to Narva, meanwhile my destination with a couple of aussies was the double-IDS in Riga.

Thank you Taina and Oona! Kiitos Taina ja Oona kun ns hoiditte homman kotiin!

Meanwhile in Riga, Latvia, I was competing with two Aussies: Finsweng Tadaa aka Naatti and Horrieglen Supa Strike Force (Austr.Imp) aka Schooner, and with great results! As her litter brother Naatti is just 23 months old. Schooner is 16 months old. The CACIB Naatti won on Sunday was her 5th. She has now one from Lithuania, two from Russia and two from Latvia. The 21.3. she turned 2 years old, and next CAC she wins will make her Champion of 5 countries! Not bad for a little girl.

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.

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.

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.
