04.08.2008 - Sawo Show 2008
We spent four days in Kuopio in three international show's and the weather was quite cloudy. On Friday Finik was 4th in champion class with excellent, judge was Annukka Paloheimo from Finland. On Saturday judge was Inga Siil (Cen Clarence poodles) from Estonia and Finik was Best Male #2 with res-CACIB, so close.. And on Sunday Finik was Best Male #3 under judge Tiina Taulos (Canmoy's poodles) from Finland. So we didn't get any remarkable success, maybe next time.
I also handled apricot dwarf poodle male Egoist iz Volzhskoy Serenady and his result was same every day: Best Male #3 with res-CACIB. Thank you Sanna for letting me have these special moments with Erkki in the ring. Also huge thanks to everyone who travelled with us, this trip was memorable!

06.07.2008 - World Winner 2008
International show, "World Winner 2008" in Sweden and we were there. Finik competed in open class, got excellent from Peter Young (UK) and placed 4th, not bad I think. There were 10 dogs in open class.
Our trip was overall very nice, thanks to everyone who travelled with us!

Trucker's Quil Pri Que Best Male #2, res-CACIB
It was really hot weekend, but Finik did his best. On both days my little boy moved really nicely and was gorgeous in the ring. On Sunday Finik got 2nd place because of his colour, which didn't look the best in the bright sunshine. Overall this trip was really interesting, thanks to everyone once again!

27.03.2008 - Top winning poodles of the Tampere region
|
Today was the annual meeting of the Finnish Poodle Club's Tampere local club and Finik was rewarded there as a #1 top winning apricot & silver & red miniature poodle of the Tampere region.
Finik also got more points than any other poodle so he is unofficially also the #1 top winning poodle of the Tampere region. Hopefully this year will be also full of success :) Beside is the photo of very modest Finik with his trophy.
In January I hoped more snow and frost.. Well, here they are now! A little bit late though, but dogs are really enjoying, they just love to run in the snow :)

16.03.2008 - Tampere international show
We had a really nice weekend in our "home show" once again. On Saturday Finik was in the ring and judge was Lee Cox (kennel Vanitonia) from United Kingdom. Finik was BOS with CACIB losing to a gorgeous female from junior class. Congratulations to Viivi's owner and breeders!
On Sunday Finik was in the junior handling-competition with Riikka Halinen. They did nice work together, but unfortunately Finik missed his "mom" so much and didn't concentrate well, so they didn't get any placement this time. But congratulations to Tytti for the 4th place in the districk championship-competition! :)

We have great news! :)
We started our trip to Estonia on Friday and we were in the ring on Saturday. With us there were also black toypoodle male Boni (Inkognito iz Volzhskoy Serenady) and apricot dwarfpoodle male Erkki (Egoist iz Volzhskoy Serenady). Boni was Best Male #3 with res-CACIB and Erkki was also Best Male #3.
Finik had so much energy in the ring and I had little troubles with him, but I didn't care - at least we had fun :) Finik was BOB, got CACIB and CAC - so we have a new Estonian Champion, that's my boy!
Thanks to Team Trucker's once again!
