Feb 27th 2008 Puppies on the way!

I am so happy to tell you that the ultra sound of Tessa showed
a whole bunch of puppies! So we are expecting little rhythm setters to
be born in the end of March. I hope everything goes well and that we'll have
a large and beautiful litter at home in just few weeks.

Tessa is beginning to add up some weight and she's becoming more and more lazy.
I'm sure she will make a good mother!

If you are interested in a puppy, please contact!


Chippen and Tessa in a romantic mood...

Feb 6th 2008 Showing, training and a little bit of love...

We spent a wonderful weekend in Turku at kennel Original winter gettogether.
On saturday we trained agility and obedience the whole day. The award
from har training was a nice sauna and a dip in a hot bath under the night stars.
Thanks for it all Pauliina!

For sunday we had arranged an irish setter Open show which gathered over
70 irish setters. Balou had a great day, he won the intermediate class
with honor price and became 3rd best dog!
Luca was placed 5th in the open class.

We have also travelled to Sweden with Tessa to see the handsome boy Chippen
and spend some romantic moments. Tessa and Chippen spread some love around
and now we're waiting eagerly to see if there are puppies on the way.

Jan 20th 2008 Tessa is in season!

Tessa is in season and we are travelling to Sweden next week to meet

Congratulatoins Barbro!

Jan 7th 2008 Balou's hip x-ray result!

What an amazing start for the year! Balou's hip x-ray was qualified
as HD:A/B in the Finnish Kennel Club!
A copy of the x-ray will soon be visible on this site too. We are so happy!

But usually when there is some good luck, there is also a bit of bad luck too.
The ultrasound of Iiris showed no puppies for her and Hemmo.

This means we are concentrating on Tessa's upcoming litter.
Check out our puppy plans!

mycket bra bröstkorg. Mycket välgående tik med utmärk, lovande helhet.
Välvisad. Kunde ha haft något mera päls."
