The most important dog show in Finland, The Winner-07, was arranged in Helsinki last weekend. Mrs. Nina Karlsdotter from Sweden had a possibility to judge 27 skye terriers there. Linum La Gioconda, "Adalia", had a really nice day. She placed second in the Best Bitch class with a certificate and reserve-Cacib finishing her championship at the same time. This was a true victory because there were 10 young bitches competing for CAC. Our "Sofie", Linum Venus de Milo, placed 3rd in the open class in a field of seven bitches.

The Skye Terrier Club of Finland arranged an official health examination happening for skye terriers last week. Our drop-eared bitch Linum La Gioconda took part in that event and as a result I can tell you both of her knees and eyes are completely healthy. She was examined by the veterinarian Mrs. Päivi Vanhapelto.

At the Seinäjoki International dog show our "Sofie", Linum Venus de Milo, placed second in the Best Bitch -class with a certificate-CAC and reserve-CACIB under the judge Mr. Jan-Erik Ek. The Best Bitch and BOB was our Specialty Show Winner Ch. Of Skyeline Coco Chanel. At this show I was especially pleased with Sofie's showmanship because the place was an in-door hall with awful floor.

We have puppies! After some dramatic moments and a cesarean section we got three puppies: a cream male and two grey bitches. First two days were very difficult but at the moment everything is doing very well with the Mum and the puppies. Finally I can get some sleep.

According to the ultrasound, our mating Of Skyeline Alouette - Finnsky Ziroc didn't succeed. All of her symptoms have been there because of a fake pregnancy. You can't imagine how disappointed I am at the moment. Anyway, we will try this mating again in Autumn, 2007.
