Juusto took his last CAC today at the Winter Dog Show in Turku. Never thought Juusto would be the first one to finish the title in my R litter but it has been quite a ride since last autumn! He is #6 champion offspring to our Raisa!

2009 Breed Standings are published

* Thursday, January 21st, 2010

Finnish breed club has announced the 2009 Breed Standings.
I couldn’t be happier for team Funatic!
Sisters Saimi & Ninja did great in the shows in 2009, and also Saimi’s daughter Senna collected nice points mainly from junior classes, and Skumppa holded his position in top-10. I’m especially proud for my Saimi who was only shown five times during April-June and still holded her status in top-3 until the end! Amazing! …and the icing on the cake: Funatic was the #2 breeder of the year :)

BMD females 2009:

#3 Funatic Vanity Fair
#11 Funatic Versace

#19 Funatic Q-Ta-Molla

BMD males 2009:

#10 Funatic Taittinger

That makes 14 Funatics in total who collected breed points in 2009!

Producer 2009:

A Big Thank You to all the owners of Raisa’s offspring for showing their lovely dogs and making this possible!

* Sunday, November 29th, 2009

Over two months have passed since I have been at any dog show. WOW! Must be some kind of a record for myself. It was fun to be in the ring with Senna again after a while. I guess she never has a dull moment – always such a happy gal that she is! Skumppa was also at the show looking good and trying to charm the ladies as always ;)
It was great to see some of our Cuba’s kids; Riccarron Quess Why won junior class and Valkeakoivun Emerentia took second place in intermediate class after Senna. Also a Skumppa daughter Fridkullas Xanadu was shown in intermediate class and she took 3rd place. Well done all!
