The second Finnish working champion in our kennel is Pictan Captain Morgan owner Antti Raappana.
"Oomi" got the last field winner 1st prize one week after huge forest test with 95 points and now we can apply for the Finnish working champion title from the Finnish Kennel Club.
Congratulations and a Big Thanks to Antti for the 3.5 years-old Finnish Working Champion.
Pictan Cassius is the third international champion to the C-litter. Ben was the Best of Opposite Sex in Lahti and got the last needed Cacib. Harri Lehkonen was judging.
So now we can apply for the C.I.B. for Ben.
Ben has great achievements; Finnish, Estonian, Lithuanian, Russian (applied) Champion. Besides that, he is Baltian Winner -09 and Lithuanian
Winner -09. And he is attending Winner Class in trials. Thank you Jari!!
There were no Pictan puppies in Junkkari this year, but Utah's upbring was well represented by six young dogs from combination Utah & Järvisaran Birre.
Five of them were noted; 4 x Young Class 2 and 1 x Young Class 3.Eräaamun Kara, daughter of Utah and Eräaamun Eevi and last year Junkkari finalist, did Open Class 1 forest trial on 4th September with the result 93p. Paavo Kekarainen was judging.
Congrats to Seppo and Anna-Liisa Tarvainen!
With this success we can now apply for the bronze breeding prize to Utah.
Fany ze Stipek was BOB and Cacib. Tina Sulce, Latvia was judging.
This was Fany's last show, no more rings for her, we have now achieved all there is to achieve.
At the fall Fany will start in Open Class. So there is something to wait for... ;)
Wiki has passed away. It was expected, yet too soon.
On Saturday she was running with us, on Sunday her legs just didn't carry any more...Now Wicked Wizard is sending her magic "Avance" from above.
There will never be another Wiki, but the special twinkle in the eyes and that certain "smile" she left in her offspring will always remind us
how fortunate we are to have shared our life with such a magnificent dog.
Under the Icelandic ash cloud we got to Finland two puppies from Czech kennel ze Stipek; male Icepaw to Jan Markus Seppänen in Tikkakoski
and female Iza ze Stipek to Jukka Rouhiainen in Muurame.
These two will bring more variety to the Finnish field (father Tor ze Stipek, mother Nata z Bilice)
The trip itself by car was quite an experience, not quite as planned. I just hope the puppies will eventually fulfil the big hopes we have set
on them.
Pictures will be available later, after the owners and little ones have settled properly.
Many thanks to the Müller family, the gifts you sent arrived with the puppies safely to Finland :)
I could do anything for them... but I won't do that!

I took Fany ze Stipek to Kouvola mainly to get some company for the drive. Main goal for the show was to get CAC to Pictan Capone.
Pictan Capone own. Jorma Hartikainen got the CAC and was BOS.
Fany took it all: Best in Breed, CAC, Best in Group and Best in Show!
