Suberb day in Porvoo! Ninja took BOB, her son Nemo won open class, was 2nd best male and won his first Certificate! Skumppa took BOS, Luisa 2nd in open class and Funatic breeder group BOB!

I rarely write critiques in here but now I simply have to… The critiques our Funatics received in Porvoo are probably the best written critiques we’ve ever recieved from a judge.
Our 7.5 year old Grand Old Lady Ch. Funatic Versace took BOB in Porvoo and the judge Charlotte Höier simply fell in love with her:
“If I had 100 cows and a big farm, this was a bitch I would take home with me to attend them all. This is my interpretation of the Bernese Standard. In this dog everything fits, like a hand for a glove. I LOVE HER!” And after the judging she praised Ninja: “This dog is to die for, she’s a STAR!” And I can only concur, she is a true star!

Skumppa’s critique was also one of a kind:
“Very attractive masculine champion of perfect size & substance. True picture of a sound well constructed Bernese of high quality. I would like to change some small details in his head but this is a working breed so I easily forgive these beauty spots. This dog could move a whole day without getting tires. He is in total balance and makes a beautiful picture!”

And here is the critique for Funatic breeder group (Skumppa, Nemo, Ninja & Luisa):
“This is a skillfulled breeder’s work, a breeder whom understands what is the breed’s “must have”. Three out of four are subleme with their perfect size and substance and construction. All are extremely typical and I want this breeder to keep up the good work because she certainly knows what she is doing!

10.9.2011 Finnish National Specialty

* Tuesday, October 4th, 2011

We had a wonderful time at the Finnish National Specialty with many Funatics and our Chicago friends!

The day started with puppies. First it looked like it would be raining all morning but luckily the rain stopped and sun came up just in time. It wasn’t a bad morning at all because our boy Gusto took BOB puppy and finally BISS puppy, his sister Molla was BOS puppy, and their sisters Hertta 3rd and Mona 4th in puppy class. A great start for the M kids!
(Pictures of the puppies are coming as soon as I get the official photos.)

Next were Essi’s and Luisa’s turn in huge open bitch class: excellent for both and Luisa took 4th place with CQ from 30 entries! Essi also made the cut and was the last one to leave the ring – so we could say she was 5th. I’m extremely happy and proud for Luisa, first time in open class and actually first time at the show in almost 2 years!

Then Nemo and his brother Noa in open dog class. Nemo was our “dark horse” and surprised us all! Open class winner with CQ, then later on in the finals 3rd Best Dog and reserve CAC! WOW! His 3rd show ever and first show this year. What a handsome boy he is!

Then it was time for champions. Skumppa took 3rd place with CQ in champion dogs.  Our Grand Old Ladies Saimi and Ninja were shown in champion bitches and Ninja showed all the younger dogs how to move and show. She took 2nd place with CQ in champion bitch class after Ch. Goldbear’s Qualitystreet who later on went to BOB and BISS.

Funatic breeder group took 4th place with prize of honor with Skumppa, Nemo, Ninja & Luisa.
So.. all in all a GREAT day for Funatic!

Also two Tanner kids did also very good jod: Alpweiden Please Be Jackpot was 2nd with CQ  and Matildan Obladii Onerva was 3rd with CQ in junior bitch class. They both look awesome!

Thank you everyone for coming! And a huge thank you for everyones help during the day with the dogs and handling and managing everything.
Special thank you goes to Debbie for helping groom the dogs and for your valuable tips! And also a big thank you to our paparazzi Janne!

Although the show was very well organized I have to criticize: show rings were not what I expect to see at the national specialty! Grass was awfully long and the surface was pitted. It resembled more a hayfield than a lawn. And three Bernese rings running at the same time… Well, I’ve never liked that and I never will. But I have to give credit, too. Everyone was ready to give a helping hand, rings were running smoothly and everyone had a good spirit and sportsmanship!

After a long and successful day we headed back to Helsinki and had a delicious dinner (and a little bit of bubbly) with Rituli, Kaisa, Nelli, Natalia and team Chicago.
It was a fantastic night, ladies!
