Show results

After Kiwie became a Finnish Champion we have been taking it easy, took a bit of a break from dog shows, and mostly just enjoyed our summer. In the meantime Wanda has been growing a lot and I can't believe she's already almost 8 months old!


But here's the results from the couple of shows that we actually went to.


Helsinki Group Show, 17.7.2011
Judge was Hans Lehtinen, Finland
Kiwie was EXC4 in champion class


"The right size. Beautiful as a whole. Muzzle should be a little fuller. Very good body. Stands very well on her legs. Very good balance, although there should be a bit more of everything."
(Translation done by me)

Piccolo Evento, 13.8.2011

This was a very nice unofficial open show event for whippets organized by Anita Sandqvist. 

Judge was Stefano Muzzolini, Italy (Nerejde Whippets)

That's it for now. We have two shows this weekend at Tampere, so more news after that!

Finnish Whippet Club Specialty & Open Show 4-5.6.2011, Kiwie is a Finnish Champion!

So I have finally gotten around to update about our weekend at the Whippet Club Specialty Show. And what a fantastic weekend we had! Kiwie's, Silentkaze Endlessentertainment (Ch Best-Looking Brooklyn x Ch Plaudite Rareantiquelove), result exceeded all my expectations and Wanda, Tylko Ty Whitingly White Cloud (PLJ Ch Shamasan Happy New Year x Tylko Ty Viking's Love), made her show debut in baby puppy class.

Finnish Whippet Club Open Show, 5.6.2011
Kiwie was 4th in Champion Class with honors price.
Judge was Editha Newton, Great Britain

"A very balanced example of the breed. She has balanced topline to underline, a lovely depth of chest and infill."


Wanda was 1st (and only one) in baby puppy class. She was such a joy to show. Maybe when she was supposed to move all she did was jump around, but she charmed the judge and the audience with her happy spirit and Wanda just had a lot of fun in the ring!
Judge was Christophe Coppel, France

"A very attractive baby girl with a very nice temperament. Beautiful lines and nice proportions. Very attractive head. Nice body. She has to learn to move correctly in the ring in the future. She will do well!"

So it really was a great weekend and it was a lot of fun to meet friends and other whippet people again while having such a great time showing our beloved whippets!



In other news Kiwie also got her official measurement in May which was 45,1 cm. And actually she also got her lure coursing license as well, so if everything goes well she will go to her first lure coursing competition this year.

Kiwie, Silentkaze Endlessentertainment celebrates today her 2nd birthday! So happy birthday to the Silentkaze E-litter!

New year, new blog, new dog

A lot has changed and happened in the past few months, so I thought it would be best and easiest to start a new blog and write this one in English instead of Finnish. 

This year has been pretty eventful even though it's only the start of April. In January I moved back to Finland from South Korea. In February I lost my first dog, lagotto romagnolo male Nicke (Mandaraban Duca Diletto), because of lung tumors. He was only 5,5 years old... At the end of March I finally got my second whippet. 

So here she finally is! The newest member of our family all the way from Poland! Whippet bitch "Wanda", Tylko Ty Whitingly White Cloud (PLJ Ch Shamasan Happy New Year x Tylko Ty Viking's Love). 

She arrived to Finland on March 30th, and me and Wanda's co-owner Jutta Parkkonen went to pick her up from the airport. And what a lovely little girl she is! So full of joy and energy, always on the move and not afraid of anything!

Finally at home!
