Top Aussie Competition 2018

I'm so happy and proud to present Team Finsweng's great results in the Top Aussie Competition 2018 (by Finnish ATC). Link to all results in all the different categories you find here 

Top #4 Aussie Breeder  2018 in Finland: knl Finsweng. 

Over 80 Australian terriers were entered to the competition, but in fact, much more Aussies were entered to the Finnish dog shows during year 2018, but didn't gain placements so they couldn't enter to the Top Aussie Competition.

In the Top Aussie Breeder Competition 2018 our Team Finsweng did great: Finsweng is TOP #4 Breeder! Our local kennel club ranked us as Number One! In the All-Breed-Competition by the Finnish Kennel Club we were ranked as TOP # 68 Breeder, among the appr. 13.000 breeders in Finland. Here you find all the results.  Thank you each and everyone who have in one or other way been part of these fantastic results!

Naatti : TOP # 13. C.I.B* Finsweng Tadaa (*waits for confirmation)

New FI CH and BIS results at Pieksämäki Dog Show 9.6.2018

Highlights from May's and beginning of June's shows will come soon, but first news from Saturday's dog show, the Pieksämäki Group Show for groups 3 & 9 (346 entries).

Our brand new Finnish Champion Finsweng Trallalaa aka Tomu

17 Australian terrier were enterred and just one was absent, so judge Anne Klaas (Estonia) had a nice amount of Aussies to judge. Two breeders classes were shown and both got honour prices.

Here the nice results of Team Finsweng from the breed ring:

BOS: Ch Finsweng Tadaa "Naatti"
BB-2, CAC => FI Ch Finsweng Trallalaa
BM-2, CAC: Finsweng Viiksivallu "Vallu"
BOB-veteran: CIB Finsweng Dancing Queen "Donna"
BOB-breeder: knl Finsweng
JUN EXC1: Finsweng Underbara Barbara "Sylvi"
JUN EXC2: Finsweng Vadelmiina "Vattu"

In the finals our Team Finsweng did also great! Among all beautiful veterans our 10,5 year old Grand Old Lady  Donna was chosen to BIS-3-veteran!

After getting 2 years old (the 21.3.2018) Tomu, Finsweng Trallalaa became a grown-up lady and won her three Finnish CAC in a row; 31.3. Imatra IDS, 26.5. Puumala show and now the 10th of June in Pieksämäki she competed among the 12 Australian terrier bitches, and was just beated by her sister Naatti (CH Finsweng Tadaa) and finalized her title with style, as a hat trick. I love this little lady, she is so elegant, inside out!

Another CAC -winning Finsweng Aussie is the just 12-month-old Vallu, Finsweng Viiksivallu , who has now enterred 4 shows here in Finland, and this was his 3rd CAC (also in the 4th show he won junior class with EXC). On top of this he has a super temperament and is the best bed sleeping pet you can imagine. I'm so happy about this young boy.

The BIS-rosettes were very bling-bling, but in a stylish way.

Photos and updates - kuvaa ja päivitystä

Here some more photos from Easter shows and update info. Let's start with the latter: 

I've (finally) updated the Puppy news page and made a new page to the 4th of April born Finsweng W-litter . The pups are now 9 days old, grow nicely and Maisa is one of the best Mums in the world. Two boys are still looking for their forever homes.

And here some new, or not yet published, photos from our very successfull Easter Dog Shows in Imatra in eastern Finland. The quality is not the best, but the atmosphere & feelings were it!

Don't underestimate photographers! Even when the judge has left the ring, the photographers are working... well, we still have some training to do, but this performance took our Team Finsweng to the BIS-3-breeder place (of appr 20 breeders classes) so it's acceptable anyway ;-) 

Show: Imatra IDS 31.3.2018

Finsweng Aussies out of three litters: oldest is 10 year, youngest 10 months.

Sorry you nice BOB! I haven't a "wholer" photo. Imatra 30.3.2018

Donna (CIB Finsweng Dancing Queen) and my dear friend Oona.

Our dear Granny Donna (soon 10,5 years old) aka CIB Finsweng Dancing Queen was dancing her way to great placements both days of the Easter Dog Shows. On Friday 30.3.2018 she waltzed herself to BOS-veteran and BB-4, and of course she rocked in Finsweng's breeders class. She continued rocking and jiving on Satuday 31.3.2018 by winning both BOB and BOB-veteran (!) and leading our breeders class to BOB and BIS-3! Outside the ring her attitude towards showing shows so well on the photo above: F*ck all of you and give me the meatballs! Our Granny <3

Golden, Happy Easter a la Finsweng

Thank you all for your congratulations! 

Yes, Team Finsweng had a super double Easter Dog show trip to Imatra (FIN). This time we gained so much that I'm as the breeder don't anymore find the words to describe how happy and grateful I am. I have the best team ever and we had so much fun during the two last days of March, 2018.

Friendship, fun and team work - this is what it's all about in Team Finsweng.

The photo above shows so well what our two days at Saimaa Dog Shows were about.

Vallu, 10 months.

Vallu, judge Tuula Savolainen and the wagging tail.

I love the temperament of this dog! And believe me, this was first time show trainging for Vallu.

Well, sometimes it showed that this was Vallu's first show & show trainging...

... but we managed to move nicely too!

Junior bitch Finsweng Underbara Barbara.

Finsweng Tadaa, our new Finnish Champion.

Best breeders classes were chosen by Dennis Kuzelj, Bulgaria. Out of some twenty groups our group was chosen to BIS-3-breeder. This was our team's icing on the cake. Photo below: Pasada.

Well, at this stage we where so emotional that posing was not the best anymore...

Best cup and "flower" of this Easter.
