13.12.2009 Sunday fun & relaxing

Completely random Sunday pictures. Not easy to put them in proper time-order with this application, but you get the idea :). Did some baking, but the fire on to the fireplace and did some major relaxing.. it must be the heat :D

Daddy and Daddy's little princess :)

How many blurred dogs in the picture?

I think we need to relax now.

Duffys has passed out ;P

I really like the fire.. can I get closer please?

Give me! Give me! Give me!

Now that I got rid off that pushy daughter of mine, the cake is "all" mine....

1.11.2009 Lahti, Group 10 show, Tara BOB Puppy

We took our little lady Tara to Lahti for a Sighthound Group Show today. We thought we'd get some more practice it we've been a bit lazy training recently :). Judge was Tanya Ahlman-Stockmari.

Tara did really well (despite the fact that a table fell over near by which almost scared her to death) and she was Best Puppy Bitch-1 with a Honorary Prize (7-9 month old) and was BOB Puppy!!!!!!

It wasn't the best possible conditions to take pics from the show, but here a a few nice movement shots of Tara doing her "thang" :))).

27.9.2009 More pictures from the LC-race (Helsinki)

Found some amazing shots from the September Helsinki LC-competion and thought I'd share them with you. The copyright is with the respective photographer.

The pics time-line is a bit backwards. First we have the shots from the finals. Eppu and Vili ran together and then both in their first trials with respective racing partners :).

And we musn't forget that Eppu was a "Cover Boy" at the www-page of Helsinki Sighthound Club. The frontpage of their web-site has a picture that changes from a few borzois running at the track to our Eppu running at the field (taken from the competition) http://www.vinttikoira.fi/ . Very nice shot indeed!!!

Next we have shots of Eppu's first start with his cousin

Gaselle´s Tiger Woods.

Vili running fast forward in his first start as well with Weikotin BB-King of Hanka.
