Turku 27.-28.1. (International)
We had a very nice start for the new showing year in Turku!
Fin Ch Krismyth Punch Adams seems to have got the idea of
dog shows and he really enjoyed being shown. The breed was
judged by Eeva Rautala, Finland, and Adam was her choice for
Best of Breed out of 30 american cockers. Adam also got his
2nd CACIB.
After Adam it was Iines' (FinJW -06 Afire's Inez In Trouble)
turn and what a surprise did this little 11-month-old girl
organize! The judge really fell in love with the great
attitude of Iines' and Iines won the tough best bitch
competition! Iines got her second CAC but wasn't allowed to
get CACIB because of the young age of hers. Thank you Sanna
Norhio for handling Iines in the best of breed competition.

your great success in Turku!
