Well, it doesn't get much better than this!

We are incredibly pleased to announce that, at just over 2 years of age, our lovely Miia (Lapinlunas Onnentyttö) won Best of Breed, the CAC and the Norwegian Winners certificate at the Norwegian Winners Championship Show (Nov 20th 2016).  This last CAC means that she has added another 5 new titles to her name, as she is now a Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, Danish and Nordic Champion (as well as the Norwegian winner title) - and, once approved by the NKK, will be known as NUch SeUch DkUch FiUch NordUch NW-16 EuJW-15 Lapinlunas Onnentyttö (that's a bit of a mouthful there!) 

Her BOB critique under Finnish Judge Maija Sylgren was:

2 yrs, ex(cellent) type and prop(ortions), well balanced, beautiful bitch, g(ood) head and expression, correct bite, beautiful neck and topline, well set tail, ex(cellent) body and bone, well balanced angles, efficient mover, ex(cellent) coat, nice temp(erament). 

The icing on the cake for us is the news that Miia is currently the top winning Finnish Lapphund bitch in Norway for 2016 (NKK list) and second for the breed overall - not a bad achievement for a young girl who is still maturing!   

​As always, we are most indebted to our good friend Jonna Almenäs for looking after Miia so well and showing her to her titles, and to her breeder Rebecka Ylén for trusting Miia to us.

We shall be opening a bottle tonight to celebrate!

Miia's International Wins!

7/11/2016

Miia (EuJW-15 Lapinlunas Onnentyttö) has again done us proud, in both Finland and more recently in Denmark.  

On November 5th and 6th Miia won 2nd best bitch in Herning at the Danish and Nordic winner shows, and bought home the Danish CAC's for both shows.  Her critiques were:

Kritik til hund SE 55745/2014 05.11.2016: 2 years - beautiful young female so true breedtype in every detail - typical strong bones and feet - correct angulation - and front - lovely head and expression - well set small ears - correct bite - nice coat and colour - moves paralell with typical head carriage and topline for this breed nice temperament - high quality female.

Kritik til hund SE 55745/2014: 2 year old of excellent quality, very nice head, nice topline and front, very well set tail, very nice bones, excellent coat quality, free mover, very nice in stand, friendly temperament.

Miia showed prior to this at the Finnish International Show at Kuopio, in early August.  On the 5th we were very excited when she won  best bitch with CAC and CACIB; she followed that up the next day with a 2nd best bitch, CAC and reserve CACIB.  The final day she completely blew us away, taking out Best of Breed (and another CAC) against top Finnish competition.  We had hoped that she would do well, but never imagined this!

Now Miia is over 2yrs (just!) we are hoping that she will shortly gain that last CAC needed for her title(s) - she is a delight to handle in the ring and while we look forward to when she makes it out here, we have great plans for her.

Tahti's latest wins!

It's been a bit of a gap since our last update - but that's not to say that we haven't been busy! Tähti arrived in September and we have hit the show rings to get in a few shows before the summer break.  Tähti too to Australian showing in style, collecting multiple Bitch Challenges, Runner Up and Best of Breeds in her first shows.  

Tähti also placed second in a large Open Class of mostly international bitches at the Finnish Lapphund Club of Victoria's Championship show, under specialty judge Ambjorn Lindqvist (SWD), on 24.10.2016  She was also awarded an Excellent Grading and the following critique:

Ex type, lovely head and expression.  Ex neck and top line, well set tail.  Well bodied, ex angulation. Sound mover, ex coat.


We are very happy with how she has settled in and even though she has been here a short time she is nearly half way to her Australian title.  We will take a break over summer, and be back in the show rings in early 2017.
