31.7.2010 Match Show
They forecast rain but we're still dry! Both boys were third
in their class (no veteran class this time) and Ansa
arranged the surprise and was Best In Show 1! Ansa was
thrilled... as she was given a very very very... very noisy
locomotive-toy. I believe the toy is not so loud anymore.

10.-11.7.2010 Oulu International
We had nice holiday trip to Oulu and two international shows
and Hiro truly enjoyed his time in hotel (just as us too.)
Aussies were judged by Britta Roos-Börjesön from Sweden on
Saturday and Hiro got only VG. Bluepepper's was BOB-breeder
and later ended up BIS-2!
Sunday was better for Hiro and he did nice by being BM-2
with res-CACIB. Bluepepper's was again BOB-breeder. Our
judge was Arne Foss from Norway. Thank you everyone for
excellent (and hilarious) company in and out showarea!

While Hiro was babysitting Ansa (or is it just the opposite?
Can't tell the difference...) We decided to visit
Jaamankangas and enjoy the sunny day! Here is some of
today's photos, click them to open.

result today was BM-4. Ansa was second in champion class.

29.-30.5.2010
Joensuu national & International
No more sunshine for us. Traditional Joensuu-weather and
temperature... On Saturday our judge was Veli-Pekka
Kumpumäki and Hiro got yet again another res-CC (I could
decorate Christmas tree with those res-CAC rosettes...) and
Ansa's result was EXC2 in Champion class.
On Sunday our judge changed to Markku Kipinä and we had just
Hiro entering the ring. And finally he achieved his Finnish
Championship by being BM-4!!! Thank you Mom, Marjo and
everyone who shared the moment with us. We've reached the
main goal of the year 2010.

4.4.2010
Lappeenranta
Traditional Easter's dogshow in Lappeenranta, where we
discovered our ring to be in dark corner far from
everything. Hiro had a lot of fun in the ring and he did
quite nice by bein BM2 with res-CC. Ansa started her
showyear by continuing Hiro's way and ended up BB2. Nice
result as there were 30 aussies in this show. Our judge was
Denis Kuzelj from Slovenia.

Sort of a holiday trip to Tampere where Tiina hooked us up

sleeping on his own pillow... Jorge Nallem from Uruguay had
58 aussies to judge and today Hiro was 4th with excellent in
open class.

6.2.2010 Eno FCI 5 &
9
Short trip to Eno with Bichon Frisé Jade (Earth Sprites
Brave Princess). BF's were judged by Tanya Ahlmann Stockmari
and Jade could have had use for some extra energy so her
result today was only VG 3. |
4.2.2010 Our renewed
pages!
To celebrate a new decade and Hiro's two-years-birthday (a
few months late...) I decided to create new webpages for us.
Just for fun and to try something new with my layout I kind
of challenged myself with this project. I've never done
pages so fast but I'm mostly happy with this new look.
Please tell us about what you think and send me e-mail or
just say hi on our Guestbook!
We've been vacationing with Hiro and will start a hunt for
last CC to finish Hiro's championship. See you soon in
shows, we can't wait to meet you and start a new year -
hopefully a successful one for us all. Here's few funny
photos of Hiro and his Airedale-friend Riemu playing on
Christmas.
