Seebensee (1657 m height amsl), Ehrwald
(Austria)
We have been
with Angie and Haltija for some days on a short
vacation in the Austrian Alps. Last weekend we
showed both of them at the Alpencup Dog Shows in
Innsbruck. Under two specialised judges, Mag.
Stefanie Schreiböck and Franz Zimmermann (appointed, as it is customary in Austria, by the ÖCNHS,
the Austrian Club for Nordic Breeds and Sledge
Dogs), Angie was both days BOS, and Haltija was
2nd best bitch on Saturday and took 2 CAC awards
.
Back home they seem to long for the rather cool
temperatures we could enjoy in Ehrwald.

Our girls'
littermates do not stop adding titles. Yesterday,
it was Haltija's brother Kalle (Iciveitican
Hemmo Halinalle) who achieved all in one go the International, Finnish and Norwegian
champion titles with his CAC/RCACIB(CACIB) win
at the International Dog Show held in Tornio
(Lapland) under judge Paula Rekiranta and a
large entry of 27 Samoyeds. In the same show his
and Haltija's sister Halti (BIS, INT, NOR & FIN
CH Iciveitican Honey Hot Bear) was CACIB and BOS.
A big hug to them, and congratulations to Heidi,
their breeder! |

results
Angie is still
going on: half recovered from her injury after
rolling downstairs at home mid of May, which
prevented her from being shown at both the
Spanish and the French main championship shows, Angie
achieved last weekend her third consecutive BOB
win. This time at the International Dog Show of Onda (Spain) under judge Ritva Raita.
In the same show Lily got her first Spanish CAC,
and Amélie was second best bitch and RCACIB
after Angie. |

Yesterday, Northy
flew to his new home in Mexico. It was a long
and stressing journey, even for a calm and
self-confident a puppy like Northy is, but he
arrived save and sound. We wish him a happy life
with Eduardo, his owner, in the "New
World". |

Bold Princess: passed away April
26th
Blue Angel: meantime recovered from an infection by
parvovirus
Boogie-Woogie: passed away
April 27th. |
Last weekend two
of the puppies of our last litter (d.o.b.
11/02/08), Bold Princess (on Saturday) and Woogie
(on Sunday) died of a parvovirosis. A third
puppy, Blue Angel, was infected but has meantime
fortunately fully recovered from it, maybe
because her vet did not pay attention to the
fact that she was vaccinated twice against
parvovirosis (second shot April 11th with
Vanguard CPV-L/DA2Pi from Pfizer Laboratories)
and applied her the protocol for infection by
parvovirus from the very beginning.
The rest of puppies, even Queen who lives
together with Blue Angel in the same home, have
not been affected until today in the slightest
way.
As responsible breeders we would like to get a
scientific answer other than "that can happen"
or "it has been bad luck". We must be sure that
we protect our puppies the best way. And we owe the owners of
our dead puppies an explanation that may relief
at least a little bit their grief.
Now, we are waiting for the post mortem
results by an official and independent
reference laboratory. |

Last weekend all
puppies, except for the blue boy, went to their
new homes. This time Haltija has given us a bunch of
pretty bitch puppies, but finally the pick girl
has been Bijou-Bijou. We are eager to see her with
Ana, her new owner, in the show rings. |

Last weekend we
have been with Surprise and Lily in Portugal to
the dog shows of Moita/Costa Azul. Both of them competed
for the first time in intermediate class
(Surprise was shown in Junior class on Saturday). Our
little Lily was awarded both days the CAC, and
was RCACIB on Sunday, second to a bitch which
has already the right to be an International
Champion. Therefore, we expect that the FCI will
confirm Lily's first CACIB. Until now Lily is
the most precocious winner of our kennel: first
time BOB with 9 months and 20 days, first CAC
with 15 months and 4 days, and most probably
first CACIB with 15 months and 5 days.
