Helsinki Weekend - Finnish Winner Show & Nordic Winner Show

On Saturday was helded Finnish Winner Show 2009 and the judge was Cristian Stefanescu and there were 55 entered Lagottos. We had had to make some reorganize as in certain reason Senja is not able to enter rings at the moment.. ;) But luckily we have great friends around who can help when it's needed! We had entered a bit less dogs as normally, but we are extremely proud of our gang who represented us so well!

"Matias" Foogel Basileo was shown expertly by his new friend Ante Lucin and it was such a pleasure to see this couple having fun in the ring! Finally they won champion class, ended Best Male with CACIB and new tittle Finnish Winner 2009 and also finally they won BOB! Brother "Rico" Foogel Bastiano was placed 4th in Champion class and "Takku" Foogel Spartaco got excellent in champion class, well done boys!

In bitches first Foogel in the ring was lovely "Allis" Foogel Emanuela who was shown very first time in her home country since she moved to Sweden as a puppy. "Allis" was shown really happily as always and she was finally 2nd in junior class after her friend Quintinos Giovanna "Vanna". Finally "Allis" ended 4th Best Bitch, wow! And "Vanna" won Best Bitch! Other Foogels got placements in the classes too, Foogel Calinda Cara "Pippi" got EXC3rd in intermediate class and Foogel Spumante "Uma" got EXC3rd in open class. Our breeders class ( F Basileo, F Spartaco, F Bastiano, F Emanuela) was 2nd Best Breeders class.

On Sunday the results were not that impressive, but we were there too. "Matias" was shown again by Ante and he looked better than ever, we are so proud of our little man!

Hyvinkää Special & Seinäjoki international show - New Fin Ch

For Hyvinkää show we had very high expectations, but...... Things did't really go we hoped. Winning best male would have brought for "Matias" really needed points to climb among 10 Top winning show dogs in Finland this year, but "Matias" got the worst show result ever in his show career beeing just 3rd in his class. The judge said that the only problem was that he is too big, but he is not and three of four best male were bigger than him..... But this is good example how showbusiness sometimes is! But we are proud that "Matias" will be more or less around #20 in TOP DOG ALL BREEDS and he will clearly win LAGOTTO OF THE YEAR IN FINLAND 2009! And he has just turned two years and been shown extremely selectively during this year!

Generally we didn't get any big wins for Foogel-Lagottos, but all did well and both CC winners were by a Foogel dog, so that's a thing which makes us really really happy!

Photos: Fernelius

Before the show we had a joke that "Matias" is now missing just BIS1 as during this year he has already been BIS2, BIS3 and BIS4, but we never dreamed it would happen this quick, but yes it happened!!! "Matias" Foogel Basileo won Best In Show at this international show of 3300 entered dogs in total.

In breed ring Lagottos were judged by Marjo Jaakkola and "Matias" won easily BOB. Foogel Cassandra "Sasha" was 2nd Best Bitch with reserve-CC and reserve-CACIB too. Best Bitch was Kaiju's "Torri" Tulan Storia D'Amore who is daughter of F Scirocco.

In group final the quality of dogs was super high but Matias didn't care of that and he won BOG with style in pouring rain! Both second and third in group eight were among 10 top winning show dogs in Finland, so this was really great win and we had so much fun in ring with Matias.

In BIS-final, which was judged by Bo Skalin,the quality was also high, but Matias really did the best and showed who does she is. The 2nd in BIS was Skyenterrier who won BIS at Helsinki Winner Show last year and 3rd in BIS was "Pertti" The Löwchen who is the leader in dog of the year competition in Finland.

Welcome to Finland, Mery!

We are are proud to tell you that our latest import girl from Italy, Mery (by Jarno - Jenny) has safetely arrived to her new home country. We have been waiting to get these lines to Finland already for years, and finally this little lovely Mery is here!

Meri with Mario & Piera in Imola Italy -----------------Meri with Senja in Imola

Meri's story:
" It was three years ago 2005 when Senja visited Mario Morara and Piera Piencastelli in Imola, Italy. She had seen one of their dogs Matt at show in Bagnara di Romagna 2003 and since that kept that wonderfull Lagotto in her mind. After visiting them and spending hours there to learn about their dogs Senja made a decision that she wants a Lagotto from them one day. This old truffelsearcher couple is not very eager to sell good dogs abroad. After her visit Senja met Mario and Piera a couple times at Lagotto special shows in Italy and remainded them that she is still interested of a puppy and they were always telling eargerly about their dogs and they were very kind.
At Volta Mantovana show Senja saw something very special on Marios hand, and etremely lovely bitch called Jenny. Senja fell in love with this lovely bitch at first sight and decided that when the time is correct she wants her daughter. Two years later 2007 at the same Volta Mantovana show Senja saw her again and she was looking sooo nice. In fact these 2 shows have been the only shows she has ever been shown and Mario & Piera are mainly just searching truffels with their dogs.
Then over a year after this Senja met Mario again and he was really disappointed that Jenny had had litter but he had not contacted Senja even if the thing had been in their mind, but we agreed that when Jenny will be probably mated once again then they will contact us. But day after this at truffelsearch competition Mario came to speak with us and told that they kept a very lovely bitch puppy from Jenny's last litter who is like a photocopy of her mother. But because they start to be already old and they have over 10 Lagottos in their kennel, they have had a discussion with Piera that for us they could sell Meri if we are interested and no questions if we were interested! Straight after this truffelsearch we went to see this Meri and she was really, so much like her mother, wow! After some months and very many things happened Meri is finally home at Foogel! "
