Kauhajoella

Kauhajoki, Finland 3.9.2011

I was thinking a long long time to start blogging with our kennel news and other things happening with dogs. This is first blog I put here. I also decide to write it in english, even my english is quite poor, but who cares don´t read it.

Last weekend show is good weekend to start. We decide to put entries for 5 dogs which is at the moment like all of our show dogs, Melli isn´t in showfit and Max is petMax. So we have Linda, Wito, Indy, Mini and our new Champion Mona.
We have rings from 11.30, so we didn´t have to leave home too early and from our home to Kauhajoki is 160 km. We arrive on time and put tent on and cages in. Dogs are mostly in good condition, maybe Lindas coat is bit poor. Linda is still on educating and just need experience, but she manage well. Six junior bitches and only 3 gets excellent and Linda is one of them but ended up Junior class -3 with exc. Wito we tough he is good but in the ring something happened and he doesn´t move properly and judge punished him by giving G good, it´s a dissappointment :(. Next one in the ring was Indy. We decide change the handler and hope he is moving better than earlier shows. Everything went well and he is moving well. Indy was in Open and win the class with exc and Certificate quolity. We go to the Best Male ring and Indy won that also, so he´s best male with CAC which is the second in Finland for him.
With our Champion bitches we are in the same class and we take class winning with Mini and second place with Mona. Same order also in the huge (15 bitch) Best Bitch ring so we have Best Bitch -2 and Best Bitch-1

So we have left BOB ring where we can go together like Family competion. Marina and Mini, Me and Indy. We can be sure that winner is from Soldalens Show Team. Mini ended up Best of Breed and Indy Best of Opposite Sex. We decide to wait Group ring but didn´t have placement from there.
Nice day for our team. We want thank everybody who is attended this so and thank you for your congrats to us of our success in that show. I also want to congrats family Eerilä for CAC to Nelli, you really earn it !!!

Next show we have in Estonia retriever specialty 1.10.2011, hope to see there nice dogs and people.
