breeder Marjo Jaakkola, Turku
owner Hannele & Jukka Pakkala, HyvinkääMost successful Welsh Springer Spaniel of the year 2005 in Finland was young "Usko", who has started his show career with amazing results. Already many records have been done and most likely more is to come (if he just continue his career like this).
Usko had his 2nd birthday in September but he is already national champion of three countries and has total 7 winner titles (all from Scandinavia). He also has 40 CC's from four different countries, 8 CACIB's, 27x Best of Breed and 8x Best of Opposite Sex. He has won 11 times FCI group 8 and got several other group placements. He has been 3 times Best In Show (+ BIS in Welsh springer spaniel club show in Sweden both in 2004 and 2005) and also placed 3 other times in all breed show BIS-competitions. And he made breed history being 10th best show dog all breeds in Finland 2005.
So there is no doubt this dog IS the most successful Welsh springer spaniel in our country and truly deserved to win! :) Usko moves very beautifully and he is always in best possible condition when enter the ring. I am sure we will hear still many times from this lovely young boy in the future.
Big congratulations for these great wins to Usko and his breeder and owners and lots of good luck for the future!
