Perhaps it is time to me also introduce myself after Tiina's travelogue of our great trip to Latvia. It was a very good trip with good results but like Tiina told dog shows are like 1% of our daily life and rest of it, is totally something else :-) It is so important that poodle, although in show coat, can enjoy normal dog life by doing normal things and this is exactly what Carlos is doing :-)

I live with my husband and poodle boy Carlos (Haydee's Sachsen) at Helsinki centrum. I've been working on a international company now for several years. Sometimes also Carlos has spent his time in our office, perhaps his playful (he seems to be forever behaving like a puppy..) personality is not the best to handle in a open office.. We spend our freetime always by doing something; in summertime we stay at our summer cottage or boating in southern Finnish archipelago and in wintertime skiing and enjoying snow and sun.

Latvian Winner Show 13.3.2011

We were at Riga week ago. Like always, our trip was dogshow-trip, who will travel without dogs and shows ;) Our dear friend Lida promised to groom and bath our dogs. She has father of Salli and Carlos, multi CH Fidel Berlin, and is a true magic groomer...

Here are some photos and judgements of our dogs. Oh, I forget to tell the results. We have brand new C.I.B : Carlos got his last cacib (this was his 9th CACIB). He also got LV CAC, and is now also Latvian Champion and Latvian Winner. Salli got also CACIB (her second...), LV CAC with new LV CH and LW-11. Because they both were first at best male/best female competition, they ended to best of breed competition together. Carlos couldn't understand why his dear sister ran  behind him, and Salli tried to catch Carlos... But it's always easier to be a predator than a prey, Salli was BOB and Carlos BOS.
