As always, 3 CACIB shows in Druskininkai, Lithuania, have special place in our hearts and this year was no exception. We were there with team of 8 persons - including our husbands! That is a new record and hopefully not last time we break it. We love the city, the atmosphere and now that we found excellent place to stay - also our host!

The shows were not bad either:

02.08, dachshunds were judged by Nikolay Sedõh:
Muumi Best Dog 3,
My BOS
Lala BOB

03.08, dachshunds were judged by Markku Mähönen:
Muumi res CACIB,
My BOS
Lala BOB

02.08, dachshunds were judged by Marco Marabotto:
Muumi res CACIB
My BOB
Lala BOB

Hence all three of the Muumi's have  now new title - LT CH and we come home with:
3 LT CH, 1 LT J CH, 5 BOB, 2 BOS, 13 CAC, 2 RES CACIB, 6 CACIB
And countless emotions and smiles and talks we shared!

Congrats Sveta and Muumi and thanks to all judges who appreciated our dogs so highly. Congrats also to our travel mates Tiina and Janne whose Coco finished his LT JCH and was BOB on the first day! Thank you Maiu for sharing your company!

July started for us with double CACIB shows in Pärnu. First day we showed only two dogs as I was still recovering from operation I had in June and had lifting limit.

06.07, Lissu was BOS junior  uner Paul Lawless and Muumi was BOS under Hans Boelaars. Hence Muumi can call himself now proudly EST CH, as he finished the title with this show.

07.07 we added some more dogs. Judge for dachshunds was Jelena Kruus. Lala came home with reserve CACIB, My was BOS and has now a CAC waiting for working result so we can confirm her EST CH title. Muumi saved the day by being BOB and group 4! Congratulations, Svetlana and Muumi for excellent work!

20-21.7 Muumi presented us at Elva double CAC shows being BOS both days under judges Kalvo Kriisk and Calin Simu.

27.7 Lissu took part of CAC show under judge Linda Jügens and with being BOS junior and BOS completed her EST J CH. Also Vera was shown first time this year and came home with CAC and BOB.

Thank you all judges who appreciate our dogs and thank you all owners who are willing to show them. Special congrats to Svetlana and Muumi for completing their first adult championship! Thank you Kati Pappne for trusting Lissu to us!

1.06.2019 , Estonian Winner show - we were presented by Muumi, who came home with Reserve CACIB, My decided to not show herself and was excused from ring and Lala was just an excellent dog for a day.

The month was saved by Muumi in the end of month being double BOB in Imavere CAC shows.

As our home page was hacked and I could not access it for a while, then instead of separate entries for each show, I add here summaries by months that we missed.

19.5.2019 our Lissu took first time part at shows in Estonia and was Best of Breed and Best of Breed junior under Henrik Johansson from Sweden.

25.05 and 26.05 our Muumi took part of double CAC shows in Võru being BOB both days under judges Robert Akopiyan and Inga Siil and also on Group 3 placing both days! Congrats, Svetlana ja Muumi!

31.05 our Mustu took part of group show and was Best Bitch 3, just missing the last CAC needed to complete the championship.

May 11, Muumi represented us at hunting dog show in Särevere being BOB. Next day he passed successfully artificial blood tracking test! Congratulations, Svetlana and Muumi!

Sometimes you get crazy idea to visit some country and dog show there is an excellent excuse to go, isn't it? So this year's spring vacation was reserved for Montenegro and Macedonia. Macedonia deserves a story of its own.

Montenegro I will always remember by the black mountains and their "manjana" attitude. We heard several times over the three show days - why do you worry, you are in Balkans! And yes.. by the end of 3rd day we go used to no hurry and added two additional days in Montenegro to our trip to see different places in this wonderful country. I is worth visiting, highly recommend! You should take wih you big and empty stomache - all food we had was delicious, no matter where it was bought from!

Havanese, 3 international shows
Trudy - Zabadou's Fairytale Come True - 3x CAC, 2x CACIB, 1x RES CACIB, 1x BOS and MNE CH and MNE GRAND CH
