With sorrow we must tell you we lost one of Leija's puppies.
Alex-boy was the smallest of litter when born and became in time
weak despite of our hard effort. Today we let Alex fall asleep.
Other eight puppies are doing fine and are stong and good

Spaniel Club of Southwest Finland. This time there was a bit
more dogs and people to train: five Portuguese water dogs, two
Welsh springer spaniels, one English cocker spaniel, one English
springer spaniel, one Irish water spaniel and one golden
retriever. It was fun and we hope they have use to all the tips
Sanna gave them. Also this time Sanna heard many guestions and
tried to give answers, that of course made the training easier
when people are active and ask things. :)
We got absolutely wonderful news from Forssa!
Lola was whelped last night the setter puppies. This litter
included 5 puppies, from which 2 are bitches and 3 are dogs. So
it is now quite possible we will have setter baby in our house

Extra special from this day made the fact this was first

certification competition. Congratulations to owners Annika and
Mia!!!

This was first official show in Finland also for Wilda.
Congratulations to owners Mia and Christian!
It is fantastic to handle young promising dogs
which are showing this well in show ring. Our thanks to owners
of Walle and Wilda for giving me this chance to captivate the
show ring with them! :)
This morning we got guests from Åland. Walle (Bogaloo's
Nostradamus) and Wilda (Bogaloo's National Anthem) came with
boat in the morning to Turku and they will spend the day with us
in our home today. Tomorrow we travel to Tampere show, where
Sanna will handle not only our own Julia, but also these two

So the kennel names we have applied for have
been published now in our Kennel Club's magazine and these names
are (in this order):
Fortunehill's
Wildomar's
Attleborn's
Allada's
We will now just wait for the decision of FCI.
:)
We had such a nice and relaxing time in
Rymättylä this weekend. It was also very nice to meet Jekku
again, he has again matured in good way and we are just waiting
to enter show rings with him soon!
Our homepage is finally separated totally from
Spanielworld homepage. Maybe our visitors already waited
this to happen. All pages are updated, and also new information
added to many pages. So better to check all from start to the
end. ;)
We hope you enjoy your visit.
Our lovely springers will be seen in Orion
Pharma Aptus -product family's brochure. The photo is taken by
Sanna in 2002 (spring). We took part to their photo contest with
this photo and this was how they "found us" for this brochure.
As compensation they sent us nice product packet, where we found
also products we have used before. ;)
Today we have done some tentative agreements for
having some truly interesting addition to our family still this
year. Still there is much to happen before that and nothing is
100% sure, so we will tell you more during next months about our
plans. But just to let you all know that something special is
coming!
Julia took part to Valkeala group show today (judge
Markku Santamäki) and this was debut for her in working class.
She won the class, got quality prize excellent and also gained
her 3rd certificate.
Now Julia has got cc's from the following Finnish show judges:
Eeva Anttinen, Gitta Ringwall and Markku Santamäki.
Julia was in Imatra international show competing
in open class bitches and placed nicely as second in class when
competititors were older than she. Julia got also quality award
"excellent". The judge was Mr. Harry Tast (Finland), who was
judging the breed the very first time. Sanna got also chance to
enter the BOB ring with one of the most successful springers,
who is of course "Onni" Adamant's Superman. Thanks to Onni's
breeder for this trust.
Sanna was today trainer at one show training in
Turku arranged by Spaniel Club of Southwest Finland. So this is
new "territory" for us now! *lol*
New year is going again and this will be very
special year to our family! One of the most significant things
will be our wedding in May, and the arrangement of this
celebration has already began. Our honeymoon trip will be to
Germany, Denmark and Sweden with our own car and as long as we
are not able to live 2 weeks without our sweet springers, we
will take our Julia with us. ;) And we will also visit Dortmund
World Winner Show, which will be one of the most exciting
experiences to us as "show-fanatics"...
Sami will graduate from polytechnic (vocational
high school) during the spring and he is looking for suitable
work now. So our life will change from this too. And when Sami
has a job, we will buy a house (then we will know better from
where we should buy it).
Our kennel name hopefully will be approved this
year, our apply for it has already been sended to Kennel Club.
We are not sure yet when our actual breeding work will begin,
but hopefully already next year (so our first litter will be
born not later than 2004). Our dream is to get some addition to
our team during a year, but about this we will tell more when
the dreams will start to become true.
Our homepage will be improved during the year,
hopefully before the summer. At first we planed to do this
already at the start of the year, but now we are too busy to
promise anything big.
We are still very active workers for different
clubs:
-
Spaniel Club of Southwest Finland
-
Sanna is editor-in-chief for club
magazine and also chairwoman of the publishing committee
-
Sanna is webmaster of club's homepage
-
Sanna is member secretary of the club
-
Sami is member of the publishing
committee (maker-up of the magazine)
-
Finnish Springer Spaniel Club
-
The Computing Club of Southwest Finland
We have been asked to make some homepage designs
and updates to different kennels. At this moment we have done
kennel Ancer's homepage and more is coming soon!
