Tuusniemi Group show 24.2.

I was ill (sinusitis, for the 2nd time THIS YEAR !!!) so I could not go to the Tuusniemi dog show. So, Bella couldn't go either. BUT, Niina was going there with her own dog, border collie male Luka, just about 9 months old, so I asked if SHE would take Jonni with her also. She said yes and - like they say - the rest is history. Jonni did what he always does, which is: was himself = Mr Macho and he charmed the judge and was Best Male and finally BOS. Nice start for this show season !!

Above are today's prizes. I just LOVE rosettes and trophies.... <3

Missy goes to work !!

Miss B aka Bella is going to WORK tomorrow !!! She is attending her first REAL training session ! Our agility club's coach is coming from Imatra and I am taking a lesson with Bella !!!! It will be her first ever training session !!!!
I am excited and nervous of how she will cope in the new situation and how she is going to work with me. But tomorrow I'll be a lot wiser !
Tomorrow will determine also our time table for this spring: when and if we are starting our competitions together. But, like I said, tomorrow I'll be a lot wiser.

News and Happy Valentine's !

Last Saturday (the 10th) Jonni competed in his first agility competitions this year. His season started in the best possible way !! He got 2 clear rounds, placed as 2nd and 3rd and has now gotten all the qualifiers for this year's Finnish Agility Championships !!! Hooray !!! That's my boy !!!

Also, I wish You all a Happy Valentine's Day !!!

Sunny weather --- but COLD !!

We have enjoyed sunny weather these past few days. It has been beautiful but COLD !!! On Sunday I took the dogs out to the race track and let them run free a bit. The Sunday was nice, only -10 degrees. But since then it has been rather cold. Between -14 and -21 degrees Celsius. Brrrr !

I have entered both dogs into a dog show. It is held in Tuusniemi, not far from us, at the end part of this month. Jonni's first agility competition is on the 10th of this month. Also, this Saturday our agility club is having an unofficial competition and I am planning to enter both dogs. Niina could take Jonni while I could go with Bella. But it all depends on the weather. If is is colder than -15 the competitions are cancelled. But, we'll see. Only 2 days untill Saturday...
