Puppies!
I finally got my camera back in working order, so today we groomed the puppies and took some pictures! So may I present our 5-week-old litter of four:

Puppy news!
Aida (Exclamation Rose Kiss) was bred to Moriz (Candida's Moody Blues) this spring. We didn't want to announce it too early, because the last time we tried this mating, we didn't get a single puppy. But we were hopeful and wanted to try again, and this time we had more luck. Aida had her ultrasound today, and we are definitely expecting at least four puppies in late July!
To see this litter's pedigree and find our contact information, head to our website!

Swimming
I took my dogs to the lake again. This time Aida almost swam all on her own, and gladly ran into the water after her ball. Moriz, on the other hand, only came near the water following a cookie, and even then wouldn't go very deep. After getting themselves wet, the dogs took turns rolling in the sand...

Varkaus & Pärnu
Heidi Sormunen (from kennel Heckler's) was kind enough to take our dogs with her to some shows.
On May 28th she took Aida (Exclamation Rose Kiss) with her to Varkaus all-breed show, where Igor Vyguzov from Russia was judging Cocker Spaniels. Aida was placed Best of Breed, with a great critique, and won her very first CAC!
On June 18th and 19th Heidi took Lumi (Candida's October Opal) with her to two international shows in Pärnu, Estonia. Jussi Liimatainen from Finland was judging Akitas on Saturday, and Tanya Ahlman-Stockmari, also from Finland, on Sunday. On both days Lumi was placed Best of Breed and got CACIBs. On Saturday she also got the Estonian Champion title, and therefore became a Baltic Champion too!
A great big Thank You goes to Heidi for showing our dogs, and with such great results too!

Lithuania shows
Last weekend we made a road trip to Vilnius, Lithuania for the Lithuanian Winner and Vilnius Cup shows with Lumi (Candida's October Opal), Moriz (Candida's Moody Blues) and Aida (Exclamation Rose Kiss).
On Saturday Moriz was placed 2nd best male and earned a reserve-CACIB under judge Leila Kärkäs from Finland. He lost the CACIB to Russian Moonlight Show Magic Moment, who (fortunately for us) is already an International Champion, so Moriz actually got his very first CACIB. Aida was placed 4th best female.
Lumi was shown under judge Matti Tuominen, also from Finland, and was chosen best female, BOS, earned a CACIB and the Lithuanian Winner title, and therefore also became a Lithuanian Champion!
On Sunday judging Akitas was Denis Kuzelj from Bulgaria. Lumi lost best female to Lithuanian Okimi Megami Go Sveika, but since she was shown in junior class, Lumi once again got a CACIB and the title of Vilnius Cup Winner. Aida was once again placed 4th best female under Ychai Barak from Israel, Moriz won his class but wasn't placed in the best male competition.
