Hello Friends

We are proud to announce that we have our first International Show Champion in our kennel. We have great trip to Tarto and we have two new titles in our kennel.

Mini ---Trendmaker´s I´m Cute--- was BOS and CACIB in international dog show and finished her title INT CH.
Capo ---World Cup di San Gimignano--- our chihu finished his EE JCH title in a just three shows under the age of one year.
Others doing also quite well and Indy was BM -3 Mona BF-3 and Linda JUN -2 and all of our dogs are exc quolity in both days.

Now we waiting for last two weekends and 6 shows we have left and in a christmas I´m going to make list of our success 2011. It´s a nice list.

We also have some sad thinks happened like Wito have to move away from us, but he gets a nice pet home for rest of his life.
Wito´s brother Jakku moves here and Jakku was the chosen one from the beginning. Jakku will stay us for a while we test him at few shows and take all the health tests and make the decisission after that.
But more news is coming from puppies and  shows later on

Now bye for a while

LABRADOR LIVING

Hello lablovers

I´m going to start blog and I hope I have strength to do it every friday. We´re living here at Soldalens interesting weekend, because we are mating our Female Mona ---Rosanan Amorosa.--- to our own young male Indy ---Macita´s Indy Caracas--- This mating is unfortunately our plan B because we planning to use one of my favourite male  Cornerstone Thank YOU at Kowalski who died in accident few weeks ago. We allready made this mating but my bitch was empty. After that you think that why bitch was empty and I believe in destiny by myself and it destiny thinks that mating is not the best choice. But Indy is great male 2 years and almost a Champion nice temper quolified in the field and we love him.

I was wondering that soon it´s time to made inventory of the year 2011 and move to the next season. I´m very thrilled to start next season in january, probably in Estonia, because we can start showing our first own breeding living in our kennel, Daisy ---Soldalens Apple Crumble--- Let see what´s happening with her.

One thing I was wondering alone a longlong time is jealously of the people in dogshow. I cannot understand people who do everything to manage in a dogshow. Winning is not mainpoint in that hobby, and we always have to remember that this is hobby. People who do this for living are the worst, they need success in a ring to get better money from their living and these people ruining whole nice hobby.
I cannot understand the way they doing allover, in the Facebook they tagged next weekend judge to their dog picture and telling how succesful dog is. They do whatever to win and unfortunately there is also judges who let them do it. My biggest joy in a show comes from managing the show and especially if the winner is my young dog never won before. This season nicest won was in Bratislava 14.5.2011 when my male Indy won BOB and BOG-3, I never thought this young boy is allready a winner in that age, and all without paying the judge, Thank You Petru Munteanu.
 Keep your mind clear and remember this is just a hobby, if you do this for living, remember this is other people hobby, don´t boil it for us.

We just moved in new house and I´m so happy of the space we have for the dogs, maybe I can put some pics some day. We have few older dogs living in the house but young monsters lives in the kennel and it´s so peaceful for everybody, no pee in the carpet no poo in the corner and nobody running allover. Paddock is nice sized maybe 50x100 meter, I´m so glad I can visit in a old famous kennels to see how they keep the dogs, our house is always open to the dog enthusiasts and breeders, I´m pleased to show how we keep our dogs. We have 12 living in our kennel, it´s too much in a living room. Let see where puppies lives when they born.

Now I think I´ll go to do the dogs, then to sauna and swimming pool. That´s my lonely friday

All the best to all of you

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.
