so much has happened since my last posting and the terribly sad times have pushed the good news to the back of my mind. Poor little Saaru became ill a few days in her new home, just a simple chest infection or so it seemed, sadly that was only the tip of the iceberg, she appeared to be suffering from a mysterious virus whole her body could not fight and this along with the bacterial infections she had bought her condition down very quickly. At first she was well enough to eat and did not appear to be in pain, but then as the infection took over her body her interest in food stopped and it was apparent she was hurting. Her lovely family kept me posted at all times throughout her illness, and together we made the tough decision to let her pass to the rainbow bridge, lest hope great granny Echo is teaching her a trick or too!
Quickly reviewing the shows, at Windsor we saw Impi Ikilempi make her debut and be placed third in the puppy class qualifying her for Crufts, her Granny Toive was a star and won Res Best bitch from the veteran class, with E Norppa taking Res Best dog. Then to finish off a good day the Breder team of Toive, Norppa, Penikka and Riku won the Pastoral Group Breeder class giving the team the final points to qualify for Crufts - now what do we wear!
At East of England I was judging ASD and Malinois, so watched the lappy judging from the ring side. Keith Baldwin awarded BOB to E Mikko!!! Mikko was also shortlisted in the group under Keith Nathan.
