Updates

Lots has happened since the last update. During the summer the dogs have been herding tested (Jonni with VERY GOOD HERDING INSTINCT and Bella SHOWED NO HERDING INSTICT (This time!)), Jonni has participated in The Finnish Agility Championships and World Championships qualifiers, we have been in some dog shows (Jonni was BOB in his last Finnish show until his Veteran age) and have been training agility and also competed a bit.
We have big plans for next year: World Winner show is held in Stockholm and the judge is someone who likes Jonni very, very much, AND Jonni will be a Veteran then, so we shall participate in that. Also we have one trip to abroad planned for this year. Hopefully all goes well and we will achieve our goals for that trip. But more info about that later.
We were planning a litter for this fall but now it looks like we are not having puppies. :-( But good thing is that MAYBE - if all goes well - there will be a marker test for the eye illness J175 ready by the time Bella is in heat the next time, so then I will know for great certainty which is the eye status of my dogs and also the pups could then be tested before the sale. So, fingers crossed !
