Helsinki Winner & Finnish Winner Show 11.-12.12.2010

Of course we participated in the biggest dog show of Finland (and Nordic Countries) but this time there were only two Iosono dogs presented on Saturday and three on Sunday. The entries for the Cirnecos were pretty low compared to normal, too (on Saturday 17 and Sunday 21 if I remember correctly).

Our dogs did well: on Saturday at Helsinki Winner Show Rocco (Iosono Ganimede) was 3rd best male with res-CAC and res-CACIB and Peppi (Iosono Deja Vu) 3rd best female with res-CACIB that will be confirmed into CACIB later. It was only three weeks before the show when Peppi stopped giving milk to her puppies!

On Sunday at Finnish Winner Show we also had Capo (Iosono Siciliano) entered and he ended up 4th best male. Rocco was 2nd excellent in his class after Capo. Peppi was the 2nd best female with CACIB. Not bad for our mommy who still had a little bit disturbing underline ;)

The Cirnecos (two were present) were judged by Jean Louis Grünheid and Tosca was Best of Breed. We had Peppi also entered but she stayed in Finland as she had hot dates with her husband. Miki wasn't entered but he was keeping his paws up for Tosca.

Agility success, we went up to 2nd class


We participated in two agility competitions with Tosca (Iosono Diamante) 12-13.6.

In 12th of June we had one start that was clean run and we got our first agility certificate! Due to this we are now competing in the 2nd class! Our placement was 7th ouf of 36 dogs.

The following day was another agility competition in Espoo and our first competition in 2nd class. It was a tricky one but we did one mistake in the beginning of the course in a very easy spot (sigh) and lost some time due to it. The rest of the course went without mistakes, we avoided all the tricky ones. So it was a quite good start in 2nd class. :) Our placement was 8th ouf of 21 dogs.

2. start: not qualified due to Tosca's interest to A-frame instead of jump but the rest of the course went without faults. ;)
