The unforgetable year 2009 is now show wise done... And what a great journey it was...
Cream on the cake was the winning of TOP DOG In Finland (All Breeds) with Chic Choix Markey Lifar <3 The one and only Löwchen who has done something like this - We are still speechless, and ever gratefull to Juha and Outi of such a dog, such a companion to live with and such a personality to show... Thank You, from the bottom of the heart.
Outi & Juha were in Finnish Winner Show to pick up the TOP DOG trophy for us, and there they showed a video on screen of Pertti the lionking. The whole year was worth of every kilmometer and every night without sleep when driving... Thank You also to all dear friends for keeping the spirit up!
The ending for the year was memorable - trip to USA, Eukanuba World Challenge competition held in Long Beach, together with Eukanuba National Championship show. Pertti did again his job well - no matter where he is shown, and how long was the flight - he goes for gold and doing his best. Shown twice in Breed ring - winning twice BOB over there! We got lots of new friends over there - and will cherish these friendships. Thank you for being there with us!
Here is the small photo coverage, Thank You Monica Salmi for these!

Where were we in 2008?
This has been unbelievable year indeed! We are honoured to say that we have a new All Breeds BIS winner in the breed, Chic Choix Markey Lifar, who also gained 5 winner titles and 8 different champion titles during the past months. It has been almost a habit to get placed with him in Group finals...
As a final statement, Pertti finished as number 9 of All Breeds showdogs in Finland. Only one dog from Toy and Companion dogs group, FCI-9 was ahead of him. Sky, Lhasa Apso Chic Choix Sky´s The Limit, so it was good to make kind of double with the "family".
FCI group 9 is huge and with very high quality, so nothing from there comes free - THANK YOU PERTTI for giving your best and even more everytime in and out of the rings.
IIt´s not a surprise it is Pertti who placed in tough group finals over 10 times this year and also gained success in BIS level.... The most humble thank you belongs to JUHA and OUTI - without You we would not stand where we are now.
