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.

27.9.2009 Lure-coursing competition, Helsinki

What a day.. first lc-competition for Eppu, Vili and Dante. Dante was competing in standard size males class (he has to get some serious training before the next competition :DDD), and Vili and Eppu in over standard size males class. After the first round Vili got 230 points and qualified for finals and Eppu got 228 points and qualified for finals as well. We couldn't believe our "luck" to find out that in the finals the were running together as a pair. After well deserved rest and vet check between the runs Vili and Eppu were the ones to start the over standard size males' finals. The ran quite well, followed the lure and didn't seem cut corners (at least what I saw from the distance. The track was over 800m long). Though we were a bit hesitant about them running together, we thought the good thing was that they were pretty much in the same fitness level. They ran almost side by side the whole way and didn't pay attention to each other, which was very good. Eppu did a bit of a spin in the end but didn't hurt himself.

After all the finals finished it was time to award the dogs. In the end Eppu did rise to beat Vili with 243 = total 471 points ( a bit of a rise after the first run) and Vili did his almost an equal run (when comparing to the points he received after his first run) by getting 233 = total 463 points. Eppu was 8/total 13 dogs and Vili was 9/total 13 dogs. Both received an SA (CQ) and pink ribbons. We are very proud of our boys and it was such a lovely way to start their "lc-career". We will sure keep doing this in the future as well :D. Now the boys are getting their well deserved rest at home. I doubt they will be lifting a leg tonight :DDD

Many thanks to all the organizers at HVK Sighthound Club for their work at the event!!! :D
