This year has been filled with joy, sorrows, great memories but also sad ones. I´m thankful for the support I have had from my friends and family in times when I have needed it the most.
My older dogs have had healthissues but they are still going strong.
This year the focus has been on agility. Sofia and Kiira started in their first competition 15th of August and they won their class. The day after they took their first clean run. In November they took the third clean run which is required for competing in class 2. They also took a clean run at their first attempt in class 2.
Flikka have started a few times unofficially and she is making progress. She´s still insecure around other dogs but it´s getting better. We´ll continue working with her and hopefully she´ll be competing sometime.
Merja also started unofficially and won Gelas pocal (challange prize).
Merja gave birth to Summer-litter 07.07.2015 and 7 small cocker spaniels came to earth. Taika (Westtorpets Summer Magic) stayed in the kennel. Rush (Westtorpets Summer Rush) is co-owned with Sofia and my mum. Karma (Westtorpets Summer Moment) is co-owned with Martina. I have great hopes for this litter and I´m so glad that I found wonderful homes for them all!
A few dogshows sneaked in the calender too. Merja won her class in Vaasa with excellent. Neiti has attended 2 shows this year and got Excellent with CQ both times and in Seinäjoki she also became 3rd Best Bitch with res-CACIB.
Kiira attended 1 show in Seinäjoki and she won a BIG openclass (over 20 bitches) with Excellent and CQ and then she became 4th Best Bitch with res-CAC.
Flikka also competed in a rally obedience competition (between members) and won it with 88points.
Ressu got to compete in an unofficial tunnelcourse and got a third place. A video of him can be found on our youtube account.
Ressu became second best veteran and Kiira Best In Show 4th in this summers Match show in Pietarsaari.
I have to admit that I have been blessed with amazing dogs!
