Winner show results

Last Saturday was the first ever Helsinki Winner show, and we had four dogs entered, two Akitas and two Cockers. Our day started with the Cocker ring, judged by Mr. Jos de Cuyper from Belgium.

Moriz (Candida's Moody Blues) was placed 4th in the champion class, and Meri (Afterglow Hail Mary) was placed 3rd in the junior class.

We then had a loooong wait until the very end of the day, when Akitas were judged by Mr. Attila Soos from Hungary.

Oki (Candida's October Fest) was placed 2nd best male, and received his last CACIB for his International Champion title!

Lumi (Candida's October Opal) was placed 3rd best female.


On Sunday it was time for the annual Finnish Winner show, with the same four dogs entered. This time the breeds were reversed, and the day started with the Akita ring, judged by Mrs. Maija Mäkinen from Finland.

Oki was once again placed 2nd best male, but Lumi was chosen Best of Breed and gained the Finnish Winner title, along with her very first CACIB!

Right after the Akitas were judged, I had to run into the Cocker ring with shaking hands to have our dogs judged by Mr. Bill Bunce from Great Britain. This time Moriz wasn't placed, and Meri was once again 3rd in the junior class.

Overall I'd say our weekend was pretty amazing, although veeery tiresome. And just when we've recovered from the shows in Helsinki, on Friday we head out to Lithuania with Lumi, Moriz and Meri, to test our luck in two international shows in Vilnius. Wish us luck!
