Hi. Sorry I have not updated this blog. SOOOOOOO much has happened this year. We have been to Sweden 3 times this year. In spring Jonni and Niina went to Haparanda to compete in agility. The result was 2 clear rounds but no S AgCAC. The next trip to Sweden was WDS in Stockholm in early July. There Jonni was 3rd in Veteran Class males with an EXCELLENT. Bella got Open Class VERY GOOD, which was great ! Bella had been shown twice before (this year) with results: GOOD and VERY GOOD. Jonni had been shown 3 times before, results: BOS (Ch class), BM-2 and BOB-vet (vet class) and BOB & BOB-vet (also in veteran class). In agility, too, both dogs have had nice results. Jonni managed to get enough clear rounds to qualify to Finnish Championships(in June)where he managed to get to the final round where he was DQ. Bella has done one clear round and her first result towards Class II !!! And we have been to podium twice, both in the 3rd place !!! And then to the third trip to Sweden. A weekend after WDS (in July) we went to Boden, Northern Sweden and competed in agility there. Bella's best result was a clear round with 11.98 secs over the deal time, our 3rd best result ever. Jonni did 3 clear rounds placing 5th twice and was 3rd in the INT agility class. With that result he FINALLY was awarded the S AgCAC thus he became the second SV ever to get the S AgCH title !!! Jonni is over 8 years old so this is a GREAT achievement !!! I am so lucky to own Jonni and also Bella has shown so much promise so I am a very lucky indeed !
Above is a picture of Jonni with his leader Niina after their victorious trip to Boden.
