It has been a while since my last posting. I think I´ve been doing more of it on Facebook than here but I promise to make an effort :)
Our "babies" Iris & Brutus along with their mother Tara were entered to the Turku Winter International dog show last weekend and I must report we did FANTASTIC!!!
Brutus was Best Male Puppy (7-9 months) and got a Honorary Prize and sister Iris was Best Bitch Puppy (7-9 months) and got a Honorary Prize as well. In the end two of them battled out the Best Puppy "title" and this time Iris won!!!! I am super proud of them and we got excellent critiques from judge Attila Czeglédi (Hungary).
Once we got to Champion Bitches I was already tired from early wake-up and traveling that day, but it didn´t put our spirits down. Tara did super in the ring with a glowing critique from the our judge. Tara was first placed as 1st in Champion bitches with CQ, then we progressed to Best Bitch ring, which she won again in super tight competition (some awesome girls in it!) and in the end she was Best of Breed!!!!!!!! I think it did take some time to sink in... I think my face was probably a bit numb and confused.. :D :D
Later that day we entered the Group 10 competition. Meri Pakarinen (one of the owners of our Baby Daddy Aberdeen Remarkable in Paris) was kind enough to present her at the Group ring and she did it as superbly as she always does.
Our judge was breed specialist Espen Engh from Norway and Tara was placed 4th ahead of some super successful dogs!!!!! Words cannot describe my happiness. I am super proud of Tara and the kids. Last year we attended only 2 shows because of the "puppy break". This year we will definitely attend more shows and coursing events with our dogs!!!
