Well, we are coming out of our summer sojourn now and getting ready for the show season to kick in, with the Sydney Royal starting things off for us in the next few weeks. However, when I say we have been putting our collective feet and paws up over the summer, I don't include Zeke in that, because he and his handler and co-owner, Huey Miin Lim, have been on a roll! In the last several weekend of showing, Zeke has come home with not one, but *two* BEST IN SHOWS (All breeds) and then a RUNNER UP BEST IN SHOW (All breeds) as a follow up! As a result, Zeke is continuing his hold on the Number 1 spot for the Finnish Lapphund breed pointscore nationally *and* is currently 3rd on the working dog group pointscore for Victoria (DOL Pointscore). Well done Zeke and Huey Miin as you both continue to break the breed records!
I'm pleased to say that the other Taigakoira dogs will be coming out soon too - Miss Miia (now officially with the Australian Championship title attached to her name) is starting to warm up as the weather cools in the show rings, and Zeke's half siblings will also be out soon too, handled by their owners both in Victoria and interstate (we are looking forward to seeing how these young lappies mature!).
We have another big year in and out of the show rings planned before we take a break again at the end of the year (hopefully with a litter to keep us busy!) so keep an eye out for more updates!
