Last Sunday our agility training group (Afghans only!)
had a Christmas Party together with a very unofficial agility competition. First it was handlers' turn to do the hard work (and yes, it really was hard!):
And then it was dogs' turn, they made
it with "some more" speed!
Results? Now we'll have a Christmas holiday from
all hobbies, just relaxing and enjoying the Christmas delicacies :) We would like to wish you a Peaceful Christmas time and lots of happy moments in 2006! |

Congratulations to
Joose's daughters Helmi and Sherry
for their 3rd and 4th place at Helsinki Sighthound Club's Coursing
competition on 10 October! Helmi got her 4th coursing CAC,
now she has to wait until next year - she then needs just one more for
her Coursing CH -title! Sherry, just one point behind Helmi, got
CAC-quality award. Joose's sister Goldie was also competing, she was 8th with CAC-quality among 18 competitors. Joose himself was sleeping at home as we missed the entry date...

Hmm... those kids of Joose seem to keep
me quite busy with updating these pages.. ;-)
This time we are happy to send
congratulations to Joose's daughter
Wilma for her
Coursing BOB & CAC-win! Wilma collected an amazing 542 points

an excellent score... Congratulations, Marika! |

Congratulations
to Joose's daughter Wilma for her 2nd place and coursing CAC at SA-FA's coursing championships in Nummela on 24 July! Her sisters Sherry and Helmi did quite well, too: they were 4th and 5th with CAC-quality. The day before, at the Helsinki Sighthound Club specialty, Joose's daughter Nita and sister Goldie were 2nd and 3rd in a big open class. Nita was among the five finalists in the Best Bitch competition, but didn't unfortunately make it to the top four that were placed. The judge was Sandra Bridges from USA. Added

Just one week since the previous update
and now again it's time to congratulate Joose's kids! :)

had a good day, they were 3rd and 4th with CAC-quality
in bitches. Elsewhere Djordje Tesic judged
afghans in Karjaa and awarded Joose's daughters Martha and Nita "excellents"

Joose is now also Norwegian
Champion! He won Best Male, CAC, Cacib, BEST OF BREED (out of 17 afghans), GROUP 1st and finally BEST IN SHOW 2nd at Trondheim International Show in Norway on 26 June 2005! I also handled Joose's second cousin and special friend Gloria (Fin & Est Ch Nabila's Morning Glory) to Best Bitch with CAC & Cacib, so she got the Norw Ch title, too. Thank you judges Ms Agnes Ganami-Kertes, Israel (Breed & Group) and Ms Jean Lanning, Canada (BIS) for this unforgettable day! We would also like to thank our friends and strangers alike for the great ringside support and warm congratulations. Thank you all, you made our day even more perfect! :)
(Unfortunately we don't have any pics from the BIS-competition.)
It seems like this was Joose's last show
for a while as we have no plans of showing him more right
now. So there will not be a lot of show news coming in the near
future, but there will surely be some updates on these pages every
now and then anyway, so you're more than welcome to visit us again! |

Wow! Joose's daughters had a great day
at Rajamäki coursing competition on 12 June:
1st & CAC: Sherry (494
points)
Joose was also competing, he got 222 points and was unfortunately the first who didn't make it to the finals.
The day before Joose was shown at SA-FA specialty. He got excellent
without a placement, but the critique Ms Tromp-Pruyn of Netherlands
gave him made me quite proud: "Elegant dog with lots of attitude.
Presented in best condition you can imagine." |

This news is a bit late, but better late than ever... Congratulations to Joose's daughters Wilma and Sherry for their successful performances in Rajamäki coursing competition on 15 May: Wilma was 3rd and Sherry 5th! |

Today it was time to this year's
first coursing competition, "winter race".
Joose's kids are now
old enoug for official trials, and his daughter Sherry really hit
the jackpot by winning the competition of 31 afghans with
coursing CAC! Sherry collected an amazing amount of 513 (262
+ 251) points!
Quite a start! Congratulations!!! Among the 12 finalists were also Joose's sister Goldie who continues her good placements with today's 7th place (229 + 219 = 448 p), and Joose's daughter Wilma who, like Sherry, went to her first competition and was 10th (225 + 203 = 428 p.). Goldie and Wilma both got the CAC-quality award. Yes, Joose himself was there too. He got 206 points that gave him the 17th place.
