Super Sunday September 18th

Toffe aka Magtaf Flagship Flanagan finished his LURE COURSING championship at Selänpää, Kouvola winning over size males with CACL which made him a DUAL CHAMPION!!! So happy for him and his owners Kaija & Ilkka Montonen. Without your hard work all this would not have been possible. Thank you from the bottom of my heart <3

Meanwhile in Vantaa at Finnish Whippet Club's unofficial show were over 80 whippets being judged by Pirjo Muhonen (Softouch Whippets). It was a very exciting day and I was so honored that she picked my girl Taffy aka Sporting Fields Jamaican Me Crazy for the BEST IN SHOW. Taffy had also the BEST FEMALE HEAD AND EXPRESSION and she was a nominee for the best movements. Her daughter Greta aka Magtaf May In Martinique was 3rd with the prize of honor in working class and also a nominee for the best movements.

Taffy's super Finnish National Specialty 2016 weekend

Ok, this was one of those weekend's you will never forget. We always attend our National Specialty. Always! It's THE SHOW of the year for me and I just love to watch all those beautiful Whippets (160 this year so pretty big event) and chill out with good friends. Taffy has sort of left the show rings and was shown just for fun. And what did she do! She just came and won the whole thing!!!

And the next day at the unofficial Open Show she was a BIS champion and second best of all the bitches. Never ever going to forget this weekend!!!

Photos are taken by Kai Heinonen, Sinikka Morander and Ilkka Montonen. Thank you again for capturing my puppies so beautifully!

Greta is a new FINNISH BEAUTY CHAMPION

It was a cold and rainy weekend but we still attended two shows on the West Coast. I was really excited to show Greta for Mrs Thora Brown from Canada as she was by far the most exciting judge of the summer from our point of view as Greta is more North American in type. But I was soooo surprised when Mr Andrzej Kazmierski from Poland picked Greta to be his Best Bitch and finally BEST OF BREED with her third and final CAC. I was over the moon!

Next day was even more rainy when we went to Rauma. Brother Toffe did not want to show at all but he was liked very much by Mrs Thora Brown and was finally Best Male-4 with res-CAC and a wish to be seen again on a sunny day :D Greta won bitches and went all the way to the BEST OF BREED again and finally GROUP-4 under breed specialist Jarmo Vuorinen. BOS both days was very handsome Play A While Mora Marknad.

Here's a group placement photo from Rauma Show. Not the best as it was raining but the most memorable moment!
