The Finnish Lapphund club´ specialty Jämsä Finland 26.10.03

Before we moved to Finland I had many times visited the Finnish breed clubs two annual specialties and it had always been an educational and special experience to see so many lapinkoiras collected in one place. Even though it was a much more special feeling to this time be there in a new position namely as an active exhibitor myself. I entered mostly for fun and for the sake of the experience and big was my joy then when it went much better than I could have hoped and expected.

Ammi  made her debut in a huge puppyclass ( there were 24 puppies entered only in Ammi´s agegroup ) where she under breed specialist Jukka Kuusisto was 4th with honory price. What an experience. But it wasn´t over yet. Ilo, even out of coat, went into the ring at Paula Rekiranta where he won the open class!!! There were over 40 adult lapinkoira males entered. What a feeling to be standing there with the winner, a big congratulations and thanks to Eija who bred these two lovely dogs.

21/09/2003 Copenhagen winner show Int. Cacib show Ballerup Denmark

I travelled back to Denmark to show Paddi at the Copenhagen winner show and it turned out to be worth the travel. Paddi won his 5th CAC in a row and was once more BOB. This means that he is still undefieded in his carrier. At all his shows so far he has won CAC and BOB and there has been competitors from both Denmark and from abroad at all the shows. As this was the Copenhagen winner show it ment that Paddi got the title KBHV03. Judge was Ole Staunskjaer. But Paddi was not the only Lapinlumon dog who ran away with a title. In Lapponian herders judged by Hans Lehtinen Lapinlumon Aamutähti won her 2. CAC, CACIB, best bitch and the title KBHV03.


All breed show in Halmstad, Sweden 12/7-2003

We travelled to Sweden with Ilo and Paddi hoping to get a Swedish CAC for Ilo as that would finish his Swedish title. Paddi was too young to use anything he might win, but we brought him along anyway.
Ilo fullfilled our wish and won the CAC, best male and BOB! So he is now also a Swedish champion. Judge was Bob Curtis.
Paddi won the juniorclass and ended up as third best male in a high quality group males from a quite big entry so we were very happy with such a nice result for so young a dog. Judge for lagotto was Jochen Eberhardt.

Danish kennel club All breed show Rønne, Bornholm 6/7-2003

On The Sunday we started with the lagotti and what a start. Svend Løvenkjær was the judge and Paddi won his 4th CAC only 1 year old and was BOB. This means that Paddi has won BOB and got the CAC at all 4 shows he has attended ever out of puppy class! Quite a record.
We showed
Matisse for the first time in Denmark and even though she is not at all in full coat yet she too won the CAC and was BOS.

In the lapinkoira ring Ole Staunskjær was the judge and Herkko repeated the success from the day before as he again won the CAC! This means that he now has his 3 CACs, but unfortunately he is not old enough yet to finnish his title.

In the afternoon the result making it all worth while came. Andrezej Kazmierski from Poland was judging group 8 and to our great joy he picked Paddi among the 4 he wanted to place. Well done from a dog only just 1 year old. But that was not enough - Paddi won the group!!! As the first Danish bred as well as the first Danish owned lagotto ever to win a group so we made breed history on Bornholm. So we must say it was worth the long travel.

Breed history! Paddi BEST OF GROUP!!!


Spits club specialty in Rønne, Bornholm 5/7-2003

We travelled the long way to Bornholm and started out in the Saturday with a Spitz specialty. Ilo won his second Club CAC and was 3. best male. Herkko won the junior class, got the CAC and won 2. best male, BOB junior and later on the day BIS3-junior! Judge was Horst Kliebenstein.


Hillerød International allbreedshow 14/06-2003

Paddi did it again! His third show ever as an "adult" and his third CAC and BOB! He won the juniorclass, got the CAC, won best male and BOB. This means he has so far been undefeated throughout his entire carriere and he is not even one year old yet. So far from all shows he attended he has 3 X BOB-puppy and now 3 X CAC and BOB.
Judge for lagottos was Hans Lehtinen.

In the lapphunds Uuriel was BOB-senior and 2. best male. Hans Lehtinen judged this breed as well.


Dortmund Worldwinner dog show 30/05-2003

I travelled to Dortmund and found it very interesting to have my lagotti judged by an absolute expert of the breed, Mr. Giovanni Morsiani, the president of the Italian lagotto club. With such a specialist judging I was very happy that my young male "Paddi" Lapinlumon Adamante was given an excellent and from a big junior class he ended up 3. in the class. A very nice result. It is worth mentioning that the winner of the class was a puppy from Caio and Ruth - a fullbrother of the Lapinlumon B-litter. Paddi´s sister "Daisy" Lapinlumon Agnella also got an excellent and she ended up 2. in the junior class bitches also in high quality contest with both Italian dogs and dogs from other countries. So we were very happy.

What a day. 3 different breeds and 3 times Best of Breed!!!

First breed in the ring was the lagotto judged by Kresten Scheel. Our A-litter was for the first time old enough to go out of puppy class and in junior class. Lapinlumon Adamante, Paddi, started, he won the class, got the CAC and best male! Next up was
Bella, Lapinlumon Artemisia, who also won her class, beating among others a nice bitch from Sweden. Bella too got the CAC and won best bitch! Now the two siblings had to meet for the BOB where Paddi did best by winning BOB with Bella as BOS. What an acomplishment for these two only 10 months old siblings!

Next breed in the ring was the Lapponian herder judged by Leif Lehmann Jørgensen.
Lapinlumon Bieggamillu won BOB and got the CACIB congratulations once again Vicki & Kenneth!

In the same ring the Finnish lapphunds were judged.

Uuriel won the senior class and won 2. best male just after Ilo and BOB-senior. Herkko won his class as well and was 4. best male in spite of the fact that he lost all his coat.

This day turned out to be historical for the breed Lapponian herder in Denmark. Judge was Rold Lundmann and Lapinlumon Armas was the first one in the ring, where he got the CAC and won best male. This was his 3. CAC so that means that he finished his title. This makes him the first Danish bred and also the first Danish owned Lapponian herder ever to be Danish champion! The bitch Lapinlumon Bieggamillu followed right after when she repeated Armas´ succes and also took the CAC and won best bitch. This was her 3. CAC as well so she too finished her title and then the first Danish bitch to get the title. Armas then won BOB and Milla BOS. What a day. Congratulations and thankyou to Vicki & Kenneth and Barbara and Peter for their enthusiasm and great commitment in this breed.

Lapinlumon Armas. The first champion in Denmark!

Fredericia International CACIB all breed show 08/02-2003.

This was the first show in 2003 and what a start we had! 

Lapinkoira judge was Freddie Klindrup. This was only Herkko´s second show out of puppy class, but what did he do? He took the CAC and went best male beating all the champions and finally got BOS to a lovely bitch from Sweden! All at the tender age of 11 months. He was still too young to get the CACIB even though he won best male. Ilo was 3. best male and got the res- CACIB. 

Susie Svoldgaaard was judging the lagottos. Caio is now in coat again and he proved that by winning the CAC and BOB as well as BOB-senior! Our homebred youngster Paddi and his sister Lapinlumon Agnella "Daisy" were entered in the puppy class. Paddi went BOB-puppy and Daisy went BOS-puppy. For the BIS-puppy competition there was a very big group of puppies of all breeds so this made us even more happy when Elke Pepper placed Paddi as BIS3!!! What a carrier, he has only been shown twice and got BIS and BIS3 in those two shows.
