Team MAGTAF went to Rauma all breed show 17.5.2015

And what a day we had! I'm still on the cloud nine after all the success my beautiful babies had. First in the ring went Aslan and he won junior males with CQ and was placed 4th in the best male competition and BOS-junior at the end of the day.

Very very proud of Toffe (M. Flagship Flanagan) who chased the lure for the first time officially yesterday and ended up being 2nd with 471 points and CC. So happy for this talented boy and his family who keeps him so fit :)

Happy 1st Birthday Magtaf "Something Caribbean" -litter

It's been a great first year for Magtaf-puppies: 2 x BIS-puppy, 2 x GROUP 1st-puppy, 5 x BOB-puppy, 2 x BOS-puppy, 2 x Est Junior CAC, very promising coursing performances, nice placements in junior classes, very promising renovation skills for example holes in concrete walls, few shoes, coffee tables, couches, cables... But icing on the cake was a comment form my mom: Donna has brought so much joy into their lives that she has given them few extra years <3

Happy Birthday little ones!!!

Pup update

So on Sunday Karo & Greta started their official career in Tampere group show where Karo got Excellent and Greta Very Good. We were happy with the results as we knew the judge was not the best possible for them. We were just too eager to start the show career and there's not many shows left for this year!
