It tseems that summer is a very busy period for all doing a different kind of sports. During last two months we have had so many results that I do not know how to start. Maybe with some agility results. A couple of weeks ago Mimmu and Hoppu (Amazeme Fool Moon) did once again a clean run and were placed 2nd. The last CAC was not very faraway. Also Heidi and Muusa (Amazeme Criminal Intentions) did a clean run which was their second one in I class. Huge congratulations to Mimmu and Heidi for these very nice results! Me and Brie competed in special tracking in a very hot weather and we managed to make a result! There are no many Border Collies in Finland with FH1-title. I can be very proud of my girl who is still so young! With this result I can now apply for C.I.B-title. In the picture, Brie looks so happy after doing post trial swimming. :) We have had several show results. Let's go backward from today. We were today at national dog show Kuopio with Senna, Chili, and Kiia. All three got 'Excellent'. Kiia and Chili got also CQ, actually they were those two only who got CQ. Kiia went BOB and Best Veteran of Breed and Chili 2nd Best of Bitches. Chili also received her last CAC in Finland. Last weekend we were with Senna and Chili in Imavere, Estonia. On both days Chili went BOB and Senna 2nd Best of Bitches. Thus, both of them received a Estonian CAC and with that could apply for Estonian Show Champion -title. On Sunday Chili went also 3rd Best In Group! As you can see, the weather was really hot as my face was all red. :) But this is not only news from last weekend as on Saturday at international dog show, Eikka went BOS and received his last CACIB to obtain C.I.E.-title! My co-owned girl, Särmä, went 2nd Best of Bitches with CAC. This was her last one to obtain Finnish Champion -title! Huge congratulations to Jaana and Tuija for these fantastic results! On the same day, at group show Porvoo, one of our youngsters,. Luna, was shining like a star again. She won her class and finally got a CAC. There were 18 bitches entered in the show. This was her third show and third CAC. Huge congratulations to Tiina for Luna's success! On the next day, at international dog show Mikkeli, Brie got VG but my co-owned girl, Elli went 2nd Best of Bitches and received a CAC. This was her second one. One more to go! Congratulations to Jenni for Elli's second CAC! Kiia won Veteran class with Excellent and CQ but was not placed in Best of Bitches -competition.

In the middle of July we had two national dog shows, one in Laukaa and another one in Mäntsälä. At Mäntsälä show, Luna, went BOS once again and obtained a CAC. This was her second show and second CAC! On Saturday at Laukaa her sister, Molly (Amazeme Dance 'Til Dawn) went 3rd Best of Bitches with res-CAC and Nekku (Amazeme Beaming Beauty) went 4th Best of Bitches. My foxy lady, Chili, went 2nd Best of Bitches and received a CAC. We had also Kiia and her daughter, Raina at the show. They both got Excellent but did not receive CQ.

In the second weekend of July we made a short journey to the North. On 7 July I competed with my youngsters, Chili and Brie in rally-obedience. They both got a passing score in all courses we did. I was really proud of my girl. On 8 July we participated at international dog show Oulu with really nice results. Kiia went BOB and BOB VET, Brie went 3rd Best Of Bitches with CACIB with which we can apply for C.I.E.-title. Chili went 4th Best of Bitches and received a res-CAC and res-CACIB. I am so proud of my girls! It was so nice to travel to Oulu and compete there and at the same token see some Amazeme-dogs, like boys, Jake and Luka from our R-litter and their half brother, Nemo from our A-litter. Thank you so much Johanna, Nina and Katja for coming to see us!

The very same weekend, Sera (Amazeme Instant Affection) travelled to Estonia, Pärnu for two international dog show. On Saturday Sera went BOS with CAC and CACIB. This means that Sera became also Estonian Show Champion. The next day Sera went 3rd Best of Bitches. Huge congratulations to Jenni for these very nice results and a new title! A week ago, Sera and her brother, Ukko (Amazeme Imperial Strike) passed Finnish Character Test for dogs and thus became also Finnish Champions! Huge congratulations to Säde and Jenni for new Finnish Champions! We have now 20 Amazeme Finnish Champions! I could not be prouder! In the end of June, my cousin took Chili to a group show in Tuusniemi where Chili went BOB with a CAC. This was her first CAC in Finland!en sertinsä Suomesta! On the next day, our young lady, Luna, had her debut and went right away BOS with CAC! Huge congratulations to Tiina for excecllent start!

But this is not all. On 8 July Linda and Rolf (Amazeme Reigning Supreme) competed in class 3 of obedience and got 1st Prize. This was their first but not last. Huge congratulations to Linda and Rolf!

In the end of June I competed in rally-obedience with Kiia and Super. With Kiia we did not get a passing score even though we had great time. With Super we managed to get a passing score. Also Hoppu and Mimmu competed in rally-obedience and got a passing score in Open class. Congratulations to Mimmu for the excellent result!

A boy out of A-litter, Koda (Amazeme Astral Traveller) passed his first nose work test! Congratulations to Mirva for this very nice result

News of the year 2017

It seems that we are quite repetitive. ;) A couple of weeks ago Nemo (A Game Of Thrones From Animki) and Veera participated in a double CACIB show of Tarto, Estonia. On both days Nemo was BOB and he also received a CACIB which means that Nemo got his last CACIBs for C.I.E -title. Huge congratulations to Veera and Nemo!

I, instead, competed in rally-obedience with Super. We got a passing score at both courses so Super is now known as RTK3 Super. Also last weekend, we got a new rally-obedience dog in our team as Liz (Amazeme Supreme Sensation) and Jaana competed for the first time in rally-obedience. She got on both courses a passing score. Huge congratulations to Jaana and Liz for these excellent results!

We also got some new health results as Pihka (Amazeme Cure For The Itch) was x-rayed and scored for hips, elbows, knees, shoulders and back. All results show that Pihka is a healthy girl. She has B/B hips, 0/0 elbows, 0/0 knees, OCD free shoulders and LTV0. Congratulations to Marja and Jani for a healthy girl!

I try to be more efficient and update our news more quickly. Last weekend we had a CACIB show in Seinäjoki to which six Amazeme dogs participated, namely Pihka (Amazeme Cure For The Itch), Capo (Amazeme Smart Illusion), Eikka (Amazeme Arctic Challenge), Chili (Amazeme Queen Of Roads Untraveld), Brie (Amazeme Bejeweled Queen), and Super (Amazeme Golden Queen). First two got 'Very good' with a very nice critique. Eikka went 2nd in champion class and 2nd in Best of Dogs -competition. He also got a res-CACIB which should be turned into a CACIB later on. Only two dogs got QC so we can be very proud of Eikka's result. Chili got 'Excellent' but needs more time. Super and Brie got both 'Excellent' with QC. Brie went 3rd Best of Bitches and Super 2nd Best of Bitches. Brie also got a CAC. Only three bitches got QC. Our breeder's group went BOB Breeder. Congratulations to Tuija for Eikka's first CACIB in Finland!

But this is not all. The very same day Linda and Rolf (Amazeme Reigning Supreme) competed in open class of obedience and got 1st prize with flying colours! They got 293,5 points out of 320 with Prize of Honour and won their class. Excellent work Linda and Rolf!

Time flies and has brought us some new results. I competed for the first time with Brie in IPO-FH and she did a good job even though this time we did not get a result. However, we got 55 points in the first trial and 32 points in the second. Hopefully we will get a result next year as she seems to be quite talented despite of her young age. Our foxy foxes have been on fire as Lova (Amazeme Foxtrot Lady), Nemo (Amazeme Tawny Treasure) and Chili have got some nice results. Lova competed for the second time in open class of rally-obedience and got an excellent passing score with Jonna. Also Nemo competed in rally-obedience and got his second passing score in open class. Me and Chili competed in obedience and we also got 1st prize and right to compete in open class. Huge congratulations to Jonna and Minna for these excellent results! Chili's brother, Roihu (Amazeme Hands Held High) and Hilkka passed BH test at the age of 15 months. Well done! Congratulations to Hilkka and Roihu for this great result!

Last weekend we had a double CACIB show in Jyväskylä. I participated with my girls only on Sunday but on Saturday Jäbä (Amazeme Eastern Mountains), Ukko (Amazeme Imperial Strike), Sohvi (Amazeme Bilberry Biscuit) and Särmä were seen in the ring. They all got Excellent but only Ukko got also QC. Ukko also went 2nd Best of Males and got a CAC and res-CACIB. Our breeder's group went BOB Breeder. On Sunday our team consisted of Ukko, Jäbä, Särmä, Chili, Brie, and Super. They all got Excellent and QC. This time Ukko went 3rd Best of Males and received once again a CAC and res-CACIB. His sister, Särmä, went 2nd Best of Bitches and got same rosettes. My Chili who is out of coat received res-CAC. Our breeder's group went again BOB Breeder. Many thanks to Jenni Lamminpää for the photo! Congratulations once again to Säde, Pekka and Jaana for a very pleasing results over the weekend!

Last weekend we got a new Finnish Champion as on Sunday I traveled to Hämeenlinna with Eikka (Amazeme Artic Challenge) for Finnish Character (or Mental) Test for dogs. Eikka passed the test with 174 points and was secure to shots. By passing the test Eikka became Finnish, Estonian and Latvian Champion. We have already 17 Finnish Champions! My warmest congratulations to his co-owner Tuija!

A day before we had two group shows, one in Tampere and one in Äänekoski. Sisters, Nova (Amazeme Faithful Soul) and Rilla (Amazeme Fierce Whisper), both got excellent. Rilla was placed 3rd in Open class and Nova went 3rd Best of Bitches! Congratulations to Mirkku and Hanni for excellent results! At Äänekoski we had 9 dogs in total of which all of them got 'Excellent'. Our boys, Dani (Amazeme Impressive Pretender) won his class but did not received QC. Our champion boy, Eikka (Amazeme Arctic Challenge), went 3rd Best in Open class but did not receive a CQ. My little fox, Chili, who is by the way out of coat, got suprisingly CQ but was not placed in Best of Bitches -competition. Sisters, Nekku (Amazeme Beaming Beauty) and Brie, got 'Excellent'. Nekku was 2nd in Intermediate class and Brie won the class with CQ. Brie also went 2nd Best of Bitches and received a CAC! Our girls in Open class, Senna and Elli, did well too. They both got 'Excellent' and Elli went 3rd Best and Senna 4th Best in Open class. We had our two oldies as well with us, Kiia and her 14 years old mum, Nancy. They both got 'Excellent' with CQ. Nancy also went 4th Best of Bitches. Not bad at all for a 14 years old lady! Even though we did not get the first positions, we really enjoyed our day!

On Sunday after the test I drove to Hyvinkää where there was a national show to which Sokka (Amazeme Thousand Miles), Sera (Amazeme Instant Affection), Särmä (Amazeme Icy Chilly Champagne) and girls' mum, Liz (Amazeme Supreme Sensation) participated. They all got excellent but only Särmä and Liz (of all dogs) got also CQ. This time Särmä was 2nd Best of Bitches whereas her mum went first BOB, then BIG1 and finally BIS1! Our breeder group went also BIS1! Huge congratulations to Jaana for this very special day! I also have to thank Jenni, Maria and Anu for all your help!

Last weekend we got once again some new results from shows, agility and water rescue. At national shod Porvoo we had three Amazeme-dogs. We had there Sokka (Amazeme Thousand Miles), Särmä (Amazeme Icy Chilly Champagne) and Liz (Amazeme Supreme Sensation). Sokka went Best Of Males and BOS with the last CAC for FI CH -title. Thus Sokka is 16th Amazeme Finnish Champion! My warmest congratulations to Suvi and Tuomas for a new Finnish Champion! Also our girls did well as Särmä went BOB and Liz just after her daughter. Särmä has now 10 CACs in Finland! Inbelievable! Congratulations to Jaana for your succesful day at Porvoo and many thanks for showing Sokka so well! The same day at group show Muurame, Särmä's beautiful sister, Sera (Amazeme Instant Affection) went 3rd Best of Bitches and received a res-CAC. Congratulations to Jenni for Sera's nice results at Muurame show! But as mentioned before, this was not all. On Saturday, Lotta and Capo (Amazeme Smart Illusion) competed in III class of agility. They did a clean run and went 2nd in that competition. Unfortunately there were not enough competitors so that Capo could have received an agility CAC but surely he will get many of those one day or another. Congratulations to Lotta for your nice course! Me and Super competed instead in water rescue on Saturday and on Sunday. On both days we got 100 points out of 100 which means that we got the right to compete in Open class.

Last week we got many nice results from rally-obedience as I competed with Super three times. The first two did not went very well as I was the stupid one. :) On Sunday I finally managed to do the course well and we got a passing score in Winner's class. This was our first one. Two more to go. The very same day two other Amazeme dogs competed as well in rally-obedience, namely Minna and Nemo (Amazeme Tawny Treasure) in and Johanna and Luka (Amazeme Rebellious Images) in Kemi. They both got a passing score in Open class. Huge congratulations to Minna and Johanna for these excellent results! But this is not all. No show weekend without some pleasing results. ;) Jaana and Särmä were at national dog show Janakkala and once again Särmä went BOB with a CAC! This is her 9th CAC in Finland! Huge congratulations to Jaana for your excellent day in rainy Janakkala!

This week has been started with some heal newth results. On Monday I traveled with Chili and Kiia to Joensuu. Kiia's eyes were re-checked and everything was clear which is great as she is already 10 years old. Chili, instead, were x-rayed and we got some really nice news. She has B/B hips, elbows 0/0, knees 0/0, shoulders OCD free and LTV was 1. Her eyes were checked as well and they were clear. With these results there is no need to be worried when doing different sports with her. On Wednesday we got the most fantastic news from Sweden, when Lace (Amazeme Twilight Grace) had an ultrasound check which confirmed that she is expecting puppies. The puppies are expected to be due in the end of September. You can read more about this litter from Puppies-page or from our BLOG!

We have some fantastic results to update once again. Over a week ago, Luka (Amazeme Rebellious Images) and Johanna passed Companion Dog Test and obtained BH-title in the front of Luka's name! Huge congratulations to Johanna and well behaving Luka! The same week, on Sunday, me and Super, competed for the first time in water rescue and we got a passing score in our very first trial. We got 97 points out of 100. The same weekend, Leila and Mari participated to two days show in Joensuu. On Saturday, our lovely Siru (Amazeme Elderberry Valleys) went BOB and received the last CACIB to obtain C.I.E.-title! Tikki (Amazeme Millennium Story) and Mari went 2nd Best of Males in both days but on Sunday Tikki also received a CAC (instead of res-CAC) and thus became 15th Amazeme Finnish Champion. But this is not all... On Sunday our imported girl, Senna went BOB and received a CAC! This is the first one for her in Finland! My warmest congratulations to Mari and Leila! You had an excellent weekend! The very same weekend Jäbä (Amazeme Eastern Mountains), Ukko (Amazeme Imperial Strike) and his sister, Särmä (Amazeme Icy Chilly Champagne) were at national show Turku and they did good. Ukko went 2nd Best of Males and got a res-CAC. Jäbä was just next to him. Särmä went 3rd Best of Bitches and also she got a res-CAC. Congratulations to Säde, Pekka and Jaana for your very nice results!

In the photos, FI CH Tikki, Sera with her second CAC and BOB Senna! Last weekend me and my cousin, Leila, travelled to Tallinn, Estonia for double CACIB show with Brie, Senna, and Eikka. On Saturday only Brie got 'Excellent' of all Border Collies and went BOB. She also received a CACIB. On Sunday we did better job as Senna went 2nd Best of Bitches with CAC and Eikka went BOS with CACIB and CAC. Brie went BOB again. Eikka and Brie are now qualified for Crufts 2018. :) Huge congratulations to Tuija and Leila for these very nice results! On Saturday we also got some really nice news from Finland as at national show Kouvola Sera (Amazeme Instant Affection) went 4th Best of Bitches and got a CAC! At group show Nokia, her mother and sister, instead, went BOB and 2nd Best of Bitches with CAC. This time it was Liz's (Amazeme Supreme Sensation) turn to win! And she really won as she went 3rd Best in Group under Birgitta Svarstad! Congratulations to Jaana and Jenni for your girls' great results! This CAC was Särmä's 8th CAC in Finland!

We have got our first Amazeme Agility Jumping Champion! A week ago Lena and Lace (Amazeme Twilight Grace) got 3rd J-CAC and thus became Swedish Agility Jumping Champion. Huge congratulations to Lena and Lace! You have done excellent work! Lace's mother, Ronja (Amazeme Graceful Queen) and Tuija had a succesful journey to Sweden where Ronja was BOB and 4th Best In Group. Ronja also got her last CACIB to obtain C.I.E-title. Ronja is the second Amazeme dog who receives this title. Congratulations to Tuija and thank you for all the efforts you have done for this title! In Finland we have had some excellent results from shows again. At national dog show Saarijärvi, all our four dogs (Brie, Rekok, Nekku and Chili)got excellent and all of them won their class but only Chili and Nekku got CQ. Chili went 3rd Best of Bitches and obtained once again a res-CAC. Nekku went nicely 4th Best Of Bitches at her very first official show. The next there was an international dog show in Kemi to which Luka (Amazeme Rebellious Images) participated with Johanna. After all, Luka went 3rd Best of Dogs and received his very first CAC. Congratulations to Luka and Johanna for the first CAC!

Last weekend we had several shows from which we got two BOB, one BOS, two CACIBs and three CACs. CACs and CACIBs went this time to the beautiful siblings from our Ice-litter, Ukko (Amazeme Imperial Strike) and Särmä (Amazeme Icy Chilly Champagne). Ukko was BOS at international dog show in Pori and obtained a CACIB and CAC whereas his sister, Särmä, went BOB with CACIB and CAC - obvuíously.

The next at Vantaa international, our boys, Ukko and Jäbä did great job again. Ukko went 3rd Best of Dogs with CAC and Jäbä 4th Best of Dogs. I am so proud of my boys! Huge congratulations to team Jaana, Säde, Pekka and Tuija! Great results! We, instead, travelled with Chili, Senna and Kiia to Kajaani where there was a small group show. Chili won her class with 'Excellent' but was not qualified for CAC. Senna got 'Very good' and went 2nd in open class. But what did Kiia, our 10 years old veteran? She went BOB and Best Veteran of Breed. :)

We have again some fantastic news. This week on Wednesday, our lovely girl, Raina (Amazeme Crystal Jewel) and Kaija competed once again in open class of rally-obedience and got a passing score. This means that Raina obtained RTK2-title. Huge congratulations to Kaija and Raina for the wonerful result! On Tuesday it was the turn of Raina's son to shine as Rolf (Amazeme Reigning Supreme) and Linda competed for the first time in obedience and got right away an excellent result! They also won their class and received a Prize of Honour. Congratulations to Linda and Rolf for this result! But this is not all. We received some fantastic news from Sweden where Lena and hopefully the future dam of our next litter, Lace (Amazeme Twilight Grace), did once again a clean run winning the course. They also received their second agility CAC! My warmest congratulations to Lena and Lace! The photo of Raina has been taken by Kaija Åby and that of Rolf by Linda Siekkinen.

We have got some nice results from shows as well. Last weekend I travelled with my juniors to national show of Hyvinkää, and we did rather good job. Chili won her class with 'Excellent' and was Qualified for CAC. In Best of Bitches -competition she went 2nd Best and received a res-CAC whereas Brie went Best of Bitches and received a CAC which is 4th in Finland. Brie also went BOB! We have one more show for these two together but then Brie should take a little break in shows. The very same day Luka (Amazeme Rebellious Images) got at international show Oulu 'Excellent' and was placed 2nd in his class.

Almost two weeks ago we were at national show Mikkeli with poorer results as Chili won her class with 'Excellent' but did not receive CQ. Brie won her class but only with 'Very good'. Sera (Amazeme Instant Affection) also won her class with 'Excellent' and did not get CQ. Also Senna got 'Excellent' and went 2nd in Open class. By the way, Senna and Leila have competed in obedience as well and have got 2nd Prize in Beginner's class. Huge congratulations to Leila and Senna for these excellent results!

On Sunday on 8 July two Amazeme-dogs, Reko (Amazeme Borderline Beau) and Pihka (Amazeme Cure For The Itch), participated in international show Ylivieska with nice results. Both of them won their class with 'Excellent' and CQ and in the Best Male and Best Bitch -competitions both got res-CAC! Congratulations to Anniina and Marja for these very nice results! In that weekend Jaana and Säde travelled to Estonia, Pärnu to two international dog show. On Sunday Jäbä (Amazeme Eastern Mountains) charmed their judge and went BOB. Jäbä also became Estonian Show Champion! His "little" brother Ukko (Amazeme Imperial Strike) went 2nd Best of Males with res-CACIB on Saturday and Best of Males on Sunday with CAC and CACIB! His sister, Särmä (Amazeme Icy Chilly Champagne) went 2nd Best of Bitches on both days. On Sunday she also got CAC. Her mother, Liz (Amazeme Supreme Sensation) went BOS on Saturday and obtained CAC and CACIB and thus became Estonian Show Champion. Jäbä and Liz were not showed the next day. But this is not all as our breeder's group went BOB Breeder A-N-D 3rd Best Breeder Group of Show! Huge congratulations to Jaana and Säde for these very pleasing results! The photo of our group was taken by Siim Kinnas. That of Pihka has been taken by Marja Karake.

Summer is normally a very busy time as we have many shows, trials and so on. Therefore I have forgotten to share a couple of fantastic, a little bit older news with you. Shortly, our Polish import, Nemo (A Game Of Thrones from Animki), participated in an international show in Sweden and was BOS. He also gained his second CACIB. In May he passed Companion dog test which means that he earned a couple new letters, BH. :) A couple of weeks ago Hoppu (Amazeme Fool Moon) and Mimmu did one more clean run in agility. Congratulations to Veera and Mimmu for these excellent results!

Last weekend me and Linda were at CACIB show Riihimäki with Rolf (Amazeme Reigning Supreme), Chili and Brie. Also Dani (Amazeme Impressive Pretender) participated in a show for the first time. We all got Excellent with CQ. Dani won his class and went 4th Best of Males. He also got res-CAC. Rolf also won his class and went 2nd Best of Males. He also gained his third and last CAC for FI CH -title. He became Estonian Show Champion by the same token. Brie went 3rd in Champion class but was not placed in Best of Bitches competition. Chili won her class and went 4th Best of Bitches. No rosettes this time. Huge congratulations to Linda, Jussi and Marja for your boys' excellent results!

Last two weeks have been just fantastic, although we got some bad news as well. More than a week ago we found out that Meg (Amazeme Noble Sapphire) was not expecting puppies. We were quite sure that she would be expecting puppies but this time we were so wrong. We hope that our bad luck will finish and we will get finally some new Amazeme-puppies next Autumn.

Despite of our bad luck, we have been also very successful as in last weeks we have got three new Finnish Champions and three BOB and three BOS. Last weekend, despite of hot weather, Oiva (Amazeme Cosmic Time) and Leila did a good job and earned their first working title in tracking. With this result Oiva also became Finnish Show Champion and International Champion (C.I.B). Of course, both titles need to be confirmed first. Huge congratulations to Leila and Oiva! Oiva is 13th Amazeme Finnish Champion and 3rd Amazeme C.I.B. I am so proud of this team that believed in themselves!

Also me and Super (Amazeme Golden Queen) participated in the same trial and even if we did a good job as well, it was not enough this time. We did not get a result but lots of strength to try again.

On Sunday we travelled to Pöytyä for a group show with Brie (Amazeme Bejeweled Queen) and Chili (Amazeme Queen Of Roads Untraveld). Also Jäbä (Amazeme Eastern Mountains) and Ukko (Amazeme Imperial Strike) were there. We all got excellent and Ukko was 3rd Best of Males with res-CAC. Jäbä, instead, was Best of Males and BOS. Chili was 3rd in junior class and 4th Best of Bitches. Congratulations to Säde and Pekka once again for your excellent day at Pöytyä show!

A couple of weeks ago Lynn (Amazeme Raspberry Hills) and Hannele competed in class 2 of obedience and got 1st prize winning their class. This means that Lynn has now right to compete in elite class (class 3). Congratulations to Hannele and Lynn for your excellent result!

And back to show results. More than a week ago we travelled to Riga in Latvia to participate in Latvian Winner 2017 show with Eikka (Amazeme Arctic Challenge), his mother Super (Amazeme Golden Queen) and her little sister, Chili and Brie, of course. Our journey was excellent as Eikka became Best of Males and BOS. He also received a LT CAC and CACIB. And as it was a Winner Show, he obtained LVW-17 -title. Her mother became BOB and BOB Veteran. She also became Latvian Veteran Champion and Latvian Veteran Winner 2017 -title. His little sister, Chili, became Latvian Junior Winner 2017 and with J-CAC she also became Latvian AND Baltic Junior Champion. She was 2nd Best of Bitches, just after her mum. Brie was 3rd Best of Bitches and obtained a LV CAC (and probably also LV CH -title), CACIB and LVW-17 -title. We could not be happpier! While we were driving back to Finland, we received more fantastic news from Finland. At Suomussalmi, Diva (Amazeme English Meadows) was BOB and received her last CAC for FI CH -title. Like that she also became Estonian Show Champion. Diva is 11th Amazeme Finnish Show Champion! How wonderful!

Maybe only a half hour later we got other news from Finland telling that Nova (Amazeme Faithful Soul) was also BOB but at Hämeenlinna. I could not believe my eyes when reading the message! Also she got her last CAC for FI CH -title so this means that Nova is 12th Amazeme Finnish Show Champion! Congratulations to Mirkku, Olli and Sanna for new titles!

On Sunday we were at group show Pietarsaari with Chili, and Brie. There were also Chili's sister, Pihka (Amazeme Cure For The Itch) and Capo (Amazeme Smart Illusion). They all got excellent and all but Pihka won their class. This time Capo did not get CQ but Chili and Brie did. Pihka was 4th in junior class whereas her sister won the class. Chili also was 2nd Best of Bitches with res-CAC. The best of bithces was my sweet Brie who also became BOB.

The same day at Tuuri Mac (Boogie Dancer At Sylvan Moonlight) was 2nd Best of Males and received a CAC. What a weekend! Congratulations to Mirkku and Olli again for Mac's second CAC! Congratulations to Marja and Lotta for the excellent result at Pietarsaari! And thank you for your help and company!

We had such a fantastic weekend! It was hard to believe that all those great results that we got were real! On Thursday 25 May we traveld to Lithuania to three-days shows in Moletai. We had Chili, Brie, Nova, Super, Ukko and Jäbä with us. Our journey was very successful although in some parts it could have been even better. Each dog of our team won its class every day with excellent, except Chili on Sunday. On Friday it was a speciality show organised by the breed club. As Super won so called "Big CAC" (N) (meaning that she was the Best Bitch of Intermediate, Open, Working and Champion classes), she became Lithuanian Club Champion by being already Lithuanian Show Champion. So the first Champion title was gained on Friday and there were more to come...

On Saturday it was Baltic Winner 2017, and our youngster, Ukko (Amazeme Imperial Strike) won "the Big CAC", CACIB and thus BALTW-17 -title. Jäbä (Amazeme Eastern Mountains) won his class and got his second CAC. Our little red devil, Chili (Amazeme Queen Of Roads Untraveld), won Junior class and gained her second LT J-CAC and became BALTJW-17. She also gained LT and EE JCH -titles by the same token. Super (Amazeme Golden Queen) was shown in Veteran class this time and she won it. Like that she became LT VCH and BALTVW-17! So we had already four new Champion titles on Saturday in total. The last day was so exciting as both boys, Jäbä and Ukko and our little girl Brie could become Lithuanin Show Champion, if they won their class with CAC. So first it was Ukko's turn and he did it! His big borther followed his example and so we had two more Lithuanin Show Champion and a new Finnish Champion (Jäbä). Ukko also won again "the Big CAC" (N) and his second CACIB. On Sunday Chili was placed 2nd in Junior class but Brie got the third LT CAC and became Lithuanian Show Champion. In total, we got 8 new champion titles to Amazeme-dogs! I was over the moon! Congratulations to Säde and Pekka for your boys' new titles!

We did rather good also in Finland as on Saturday and Sunday Amazeme-dogs competed for CACs in agility and in shows. In that weekend Hoppu and Mimmu competed in III class of agility in Jyväskylä and got three clean runs of which one gave them their first agility CAC! Also from Sweden we got excellent news as hopefully the future mum of our next litter after Meg, Lace (Amazeme Twilight Grace) and Lena did few more clean runs of which one gae them their second jumping CAC in agility! Huge congratulations to these fantastic agility teams!

Also in rally-obedience we got one new result as Jake (Amazeme Rhythmic Blue) and Nina got their second passing score with 95 points out of 100. Congratulations to Nina and Jake for this excellent result!


We did great also in shows in Finland as we got one BIG2, three BOB and two BOS from three shows to which Amazeme-dogs participated in that weekend. The responsibles of this success were this time Särmä (Amazeme Icy Chilly Champagne), her dam Liz (Amazeme Supreme Sensation), Särmä's cousin Sohvi (Amazeme Bilberry Biscuit) and their relative Eikka (Amazeme Arctic Challenge). At group show Harjavalta on Saturday Eikka went BOS and Särmä BOB and BIG2! They both got a CAC. Rilla (Amazeme Fierce Whisper) went 2nd Best of Bitches and gained a res-CAC. Lynn (Amazeme Raspberry Hills) went 3rd Best Of Bitches. Our Breeder's group went BOB Breeder. The next day at national show Rauma Eikka went BOS again but this time Särmä went 2nd Best of Bitches her dam, Liz, winning all! Our breeder's group was again BOB Breeder! At group show Keuruu, Rolf (Amazeme Reigning Supreme) went 2nd Best in Open class with Excellent. Our junior, Pihka (Amazeme Cure For The Itch) got 'VG' but our youngster, Sohvi (Amazeme Bilberry Biscuit) went BOB! Huge congratulations to Jaana (again), Tuija (again) and Aino (again)! I am extremely proud of you!

Särmä did it again! Last Saturday Särmä (Amazeme Icy Chilly Champagne) and her two siblings and mum participated in an international dog. Also Tyyne (Amazeme Another Story) were there. They all got 'Excellent' and Särmä and Tyyne won their class. Hemi (Amazeme Iconic Future) and Nanna (Amazeme Ice-cold Sensation) were both placed 2nd in Intermediate class. This time thye did not get CQ but their sister, Särmä, did a great job and went Best of Bitches and Best of Breed once again. Her mum, Liz (Amazeme Supreme Sensation) was placed 3rd in Champion class with 'Exccellent' and CQ. Tyyne got 'Excellent' and won her class with CQ but was not placed in Best of Bitches -competition. Our breeder's group went Best Breeder of Breed! Huge congratulations to BOB Särmä and Jaana! On Sunday Tyyne participated in an internatinal dog show in Hamina and went 2nd in open class with 'Excellent' and CQ. In Best of Bitches -competition she was placed 4th Best of Bitches! Congratulations to Tiina as well for these excellent results! The photo of Särmä has been taken by Heta Simonen.

But this is not all. We do not have only beautiful but also well behaving girls as last week two girls from out team passed Companion Dog Test. The first one was Diva (Amazeme English Meadows) who passed it on Wednesday. The next day it was our turn with Brie to show our skills in a same test and this time we passed it. Congratulations to Sanna and BH Diva!


A week ago on Saturday we traveled to a group show in Salo with Brie (Amazeme Bejeweled Queen) and Chili (Amazeme Queen Of Roads Untraveled). Also Jäbä (Amazeme Eastern Mountains) and Ukko (Amazeme Imperial Strike) participated in the show and it went rather well. They all got 'Excellent' and won their class but this is not all. Jäbä went 2nd Best of Males and Ukko Best Of Males. Ukko also received a CAC and Jäbä res-CAC. My girls were pretty as well as Chili went 2nd Best of Bitches and Brie Best of Breed. Thus Chili received a res-CAC and Brie a CAC. Our breeder's group went Best Breeder of Breed as well. We are extremely happy and proud of our babies! The same day, Diva and Sanna participated in a national dog show in Varkaus and Diva went Best of Opposite Sex and obtained a CAC. One more to go for Finnish Champion title! Congratulations to Sanna and Diva for your excellent day!

A couple of weeks ago Amazeme-dogs shined like a star in agility, rally-obedience competitions and shows. Kaija and Raina (Amazeme Crystal Jewel) competed in rally-obedience and got one more passing score in Open class. Congratulations to Kaija and Raina for excellent result! We have received some awesome results from Sweden where Lena and Lace (Amazeme Twilight Grace) competed for the first time in III class of agility. They did two clean runs and in jumping course they won the class and received their first CAC! Also Lace's cousin, Hoppu (Amazeme Fool Moon) and Mimmu did a clean run in III class of agility a couple of weeks ago here in Laukaa. Huge congratulations to Lena and Mimmu for your excellent results in agility!

In show rings, once again, siblings from our Ice-litter, Särmä (Amazeme Icy Chilly Champagne) and Ukko (Amazeme Imperial Strike) did their best at international dog show Tampere. Ukko went 2nd Best of Males and received res-CAC. Särmä did a little bit better and went Best of Bitches and Best of Breed! She also received a CAC and a CACIB. Their mum, Liz (Amazeme Supreme Sensation), showed her best, and won Champion class with 'Excellent' and CQ. Congratulations to Säde, Pekka and Jaana your excellent show day in Tampere!

Last weekend we traveled to Estonia, Rakvere with Rolf (Amazeme Reigning Supreme), Diva (Amazeme English Meadows) and Chili (Amazeme Queen Of Roads Untraveled). On both days Rolf was BOB and Chili was BOS. Chili was also BOB Junior and received two J-CAC by winning junior class! Also Rolf received two CAC and in Best In Group -competition he did rather good job and went 3rd Best in Group. Our judge was Elena Ruskovaara. On Saturday Diva got 'Very good' so we needed to show our very best the next day and we really did it! On Sunday Diva won her class with 'Excellent' ang got CQ. In Best of Bitches -competition Diva went 3rd and received a CAC. Huge congratulations to Linda and Sanna for Rolf's and Diva's succesful journey to Rakvere! I was especially pleased by the judging of both judges who appreciated so highly my little red fox. On Monday there was a group show in Lahti to which Jäbä (Amazeme Eastern Mountains), Ukko (Amazeme Imperial Strike) and his sister Sera (Amazeme Instant Affection) participated from our team. They all got 'Excellent' and won their class but this is not all as Ukko went 1st Best of Dogs and received a CAC (which is his second) and Sera went 1st Best of Bitches and obtained her first CAC in Finland. My warmest congratulations to Säde, Pekka and Jenni for your very successful day in Lahti! I am so happy for you and also a little bit proud! :)

We have again some fantastic results to be updated. Our boys from R-litter have been very active and efficient. Luka (Amazeme Rebellious Images) got the third passing score in rally-obedience and obtained RTK1-title. His brother, Jake (Amazeme Rhythmic Blue) also gained a passing score in rally-obedience but this is not all. He also got 1st prize in Beginner's class of Obedience a week later. Congratulations to our Northern Team, Johanna and Nina for your excellent results! The boys' mum, Raina (Amazeme Crystal Jewel) also got a passing score in Open class of rally-obedience a couple of weeks ago. Congratulations to Kaija for your super nice result! Also I have been competing with my girls. With Super we got the third passing score in Open class of rally-obedience which means that Super obtained RTK2-title. Last week I was in obedience trial with Siru (Amazeme Elderberry Valleys) and we got the third 1st prize in Beginner's class so this means that Siru obtained TK1-title. Last but not least working result to be updated is from agility where Muusa (Amazeme Criminal Intentions) and Heidi did a clean run a couple of weeks ago. Congratulations to Heidi for your excellent result! Last Sunday our co-owned boy from Poland, Nemo (A Game Of Thrones From Animki) passed Finnish Character Test for Dogs and thus became Finnish, Estonian and Latvian Show Champion. Huge congratulations to Veera for Nemo's new titles!

Naturally we have some show results as well to be updated. On Easter we went to Imatra with Brie, Super and Kiia. Brie won her class with 'Excellent' and got CQ but she was not placed in Best of Bitches -competition. Super got 'Excellent' and was 2nd in Champion class. She went 3rd in Best of Bitches -competition. Kiia won her class and went 4th in Best of Bitches -competition. A week before we were at international dog show in Vaasa with Pihka (Amazeme Cure For The Itch), Eikka (Amazeme Arctic Challenge), Särmä (Amazeme Icy Chilly Champagne), Liz (Amazeme Supreme Sensation), Super, and Kiia and we did rather good job as all our team members (except Liz who was 2nd in Champion class) won their class with 'Excellent' and got 'CQ'. Pihka went Best Puppy of Breed and Eikka went 2nd in Best of Males -competition and received a CAC and res-CACIB. Brie went 1st in Best of Bitches -competition and received a CAC. She also was BOB! Super went 2nd Best of Bitches and Kiia was 4th Best of Bitches and BOB Veteran. Our breeder group went BOB Breeder. It is not every day that we got Best Puppy Of Breed, Best Of Breed, Best Veteran of Breed and Best Breeder Of Breed! Thank you all for you help and support!

Pohjosen pojat ovat pistäneet nyt vähän tuulemaan, sillä toissa viikonloppuna sekä Luka että Jake kisasivat rally-tokossa. Molemmat saivat hyväksytyn tuloksen ja koska tämä oli Lukalle jo kolmas hyväksytty tulos alokasluokassa, sai Luka itselleen ensimmäisen koulutustunnuksen, RTK1. Viime viikonloppuna Luka vuorostaan kisasi tokon avoimessa luokassa ja sai ykköstuloksen. Poikien äiti, Raina, nähtiin myös rally-tokokisoissa lauantaina. Myös Raina teki hyväksytyn tuloksen avoimessa luokassa ja sai ensimmäisen kiinnityksen RTK2-koulutustunnukseen. Paljon onnea Ninalle, Johannalle ja Kaijalle hienoista tuloksista!

Almost two weeks ago we traveled to Riga, Latvia with Brie, Meg (who was totally out of coat, of course), Siru and Kiia, and we got some very nice results and four new champion titles. Brie won her class on both days and as on Saturday she obtained a LV J-CAC, she also became Baltic and Latvian Junior Show Champion. On Satuday she was 2nd Best of Bitches and on Sunday 3rd Best of Bitches. Meg got 'VG' on both days due to her coat. Siru, instead, won Champion class on both days and was 4th Best of Bitches on Saturday and 2nd Best of Bitches on Sunday. She also got two res-CACIBs. Kiia won her class on both days and on Saturday she obtained LV V-CAC which means that she became Baltic and Latvian Veteran Show Champion. On Saturday she was 3rd Best of Bitches and on Sunday 4th Best of Bitches.

On Sunday we had quite a strong competition in a group show of Seinäjoki to which 28 Border Collies had been entered. Our team did rather good job as Rolf (Amazeme Reigning Supreme) was 2nd Best of Males and got res-CAC. Liz (Amazeme Supreme Sensation) won Champion class and was 3rd Best of Bitches but her daughter, Särmä (Amazeme Icy Chilly Champagne) charmed the judge and she went to Best of Bitches. Naturally, she received her second CAC! Also our breeder group (Rolf, Särmä, Liz, and Raina) went 1st and got Prize of Honour. I was so pleased with these fantastic news! Thank you all for presenting the group and congratulations to Linda, Linda and all others for your successful day at Seinäjoki show!

But these are not the only news from that weekend! Sanna and Diva (Amazeme English Meadows), competed for the first time in obedience and got right away 1st Prize. Congratulations to Sanna for your excellent work!

Last weekend, brothers from our R-litter, Luka (Amazeme Rebellious Images) and Jake (Amazeme Rhythmic Blue) competed in rally-obedience and they both got a passing score. As this was Luka's third passing score in Beginner's class, he obtained RTK1-title. Congratulations to Johanna and Nina for these great results!

I have been again extremely busy so I have not had time to update my site in English version. Anyway, here you are very briefly the latest news and results. Brie (Amazeme Bejeweled Queen) and I got 1st Prize in Beginner's class of Obedience last Saturday. The same day, Lace (Amazeme Twilight Grace) and Lena did the last clean run to obtain the right to compete in III class of agililty. Congratulations! On Sunday Super (Amazeme Golden Queen) and I competed in rally-obedience and we got two passing score. The first one with 95 points and the second one with 100 points. We also won our class. Her half-brother, Tikki (Amazeme Millennium Story) and Mari competed in team skiing for Finnish Championship of teams and they were placed 3rd. Congratulations to Mari and Tikki for your Bronze Medal! Well done! A week ago, Brie and Meg (Amazeme Noble Sapphire) traveld with Henna to Vilnius, Lithuania for shows. On Saturday and on Sunday Brie was BOB Junior and she also got Lithuanian Junior Winner 2017 -title and Vilnius Junior Cup Winner 2017 -title but the last one is not recognized in Finland. Meg was on both days res-winner and she received two res-CACIB. Congratulations to Henna for Meg's very nice results, although her coat is not in a good condition at the moment and thank you for taking such good care of my little princess, Brie.

We have also received three first health results of our Ice-litter. Särmä (Amazeme Icy Chilly Champagne) has A/A hips, elbows, knees and shoulders 0/0. Her two brothers, Ukko (Amazeme Imperial Strike) and Hemi (Amazeme Iconic Future) have both B/B hips, 0/0 elbows, and 0/0 knees. They also x-rayed the shoulders of Ukko and they were all clean. Congratulations to Jaana, Säde, Heta and Jukka-Pekka for these excellent results!

We got again such beautiful results at semi-speciality show in Kauhava. There were nine dogs from our team. The best of them was again our beauty queen, Liz (Amazeme Supreme Sensation) who was BOB. Her son, Ukko (Amazeme Imperial Strike) won the males and was BOS. He also received his first CAC. But this was not all... Ukko's "big brother", Jäbä (Amazeme Eastern Mountains), won his class but this time did not receive CQ. We had three junior females in the ring. We had Särmä (Amazeme Icy Chilly Champagne) and her two cousins, my Brie (Amazeme Bejeweled Queen) and her sister Sohvi (Amazeme Bilberry Biscuit). All three got excellent. Brie was placed 4th in junior class, Särmä the third and Sohvi won a very strong junior class. She also received CQ. In Champion class we had Raina (Amazeme Crystal Jewel) and her half sister Liz (Amazeme Supreme Sensation). They both got excellent and Liz was placed 1st and Raina the 2nd. They both got also CQ. In Veteran class I had my grand old lady, Nancy. She won her class with Excellent and CQ. In Best of Bitches competition we got three placement. Liz was Best of Bitches, her sister's daughter, Sohvi, was the second and Nancy was the fourth. Sohvi also received a CAC. Our breeder group was BOB Breeder! What a day! Congratulations to all of you!

This time I will update our news very briefly. Two weeks ago Amazeme Minutes to Midnight "Luna" went Best Puppy of Breed at unofficial puppy show in Lahti. Congratulations to Birgitta for your excellent day in Lahti! So happy to hear that she did great job even if the day was long.

The same weekend we were in Lithuania, Kaunas with Brie, Senna Siru and Kiia. The rules in Lithuania are a little bit different than those here in Finland so it was sometimes tricky to follow the ring but despite of that we did rather well. :) Brie was on both days BOB Junior, Kiia BOB Veteran and Siru BOB. Senna won her class on Sunday. She also got a LT CAC and res-CACIB. With these fantastic results Brie became Lithuanian Youth Champion, Kiia Lithuanian Veteran Champion and Siru Lithuanian Champion. Siru also received two new CACIB. She has now 5 CACIB in Finland and Lithuania and one res-CACIB which should be confirmed as CACIB from Estonia. Congratulations to Leila and Mirka for your girls' nice results! I cannot congratulate myself although I am extremely happy about Brie's and Kiia's results. Thank you, Aiste (if you happen to read this) for your help and company!

On Saturday (two weeks ago, yes) Johanna and Amazeme Rebellious Images "Luka" competed for the second time in rally-obedience and got again a very nice passing score. Congratulations to Johanna and Luka for your nice result! The photo of Luka and Johanna has been taken by Sari Eskelinen.

Last week four babies from our B-litter (Hilla x BO) were scored for hips and elbows. They also got an eye test. We have received as far the following results: As far we have got one A/A, two B/B and one C/C. Not bad at all. Still waiting for the last one to be scored. You can read the complete results from the litter's page. In the picture there are Sohvi, Brie and Reko getting relaxed! :)

Last weekend we got 3 certificates and 1 res-CAC. Our sweet cutie pie Sera and Jenni travelled to Latvia where Sera won her class and received J-CAC. She went BOB as well. My warmest congratulations to Jenni and Sera for an excellent debut in shows! On Sunday, two of Sera's siblings, Ukko and Särmä were at Turku international. Both of them won their class with 'Excellent' and were qualified for CAC. Ukko went 2nd Best of Males but what did his sister? Särmä went directly BOS and received a CAC. Huge congratulations to Säde and Jaana for your excellent day (again)!

Siblings' uncle, Capo and Lotta, instead, competed in agility. They got one very fast course with one fault but another one was a clean run. They also won the course and received a CAC, meaning that they have now right to compete in the highest class of agility. Congratulations to Lotta and Capo for so great results!

Last weekend was amazing. First of all we got a new Finnish Championship winner of team skiing! Hard to believe, but yes Amazeme Reigning Supreme "Rolf" and Linda won Finnish Championship of team skiing. This is a really great achievement for a Border Collie which are in general much smaller than other competititors. My warmest congratulatio ns to VKM-17 Rolf and his fabulous owner, Linda! Last weekend we had two shows, one CAC show in Lahti and another CACIB show in Kajaani. We got one BOB, one BOS + BOB VET + BIS VET4, one CACIB dog and one CAC dog in total. All Amazeme dogs got 'Excellent' and several were placed in their class. One of them was "Ukko" (Amazeme Imperial Strike) who got JUN EXC2 CQ BD3. His cousin, "Jäbä" (Amazeme Eastern Mountains) also got OPEN EXC2 but he did not receive a CQ this time. His sister, "Diva" (Amazeme English Meadows) went OPEN EXC4. Our other girls did also good job. My own little girl, "Brie" (Amazeme Bejeweled Queen) was JUN EXC1 CQ but was not placed in Best of Bitches -competition. Her cousin, "Särmä" (Amazeme Icy Chilly Champagne) was JUN EXC2. Her mother, "Liz" (Amazeme Supreme Sensation) went directly BOB!

In Kajaani INT my sweet old lady, "Kiia", went BOS and BOB VET but this is not all. In BIS Veteran -competition Kiia was placed the FOURTH! Amazing! Kiia's daughter, "Raina" (Amazeme Crystal Jewel) was champ EXC1 CQ BB2 CACIB and Kiia's granddaughter, "Sohvi" (Amazeme Bilberry Biscuit) was jun EXC1 CQ BB3 and CAC! Our day could not have go better! Huge congratulations to Jaana, Kaija and Aino for your successful day! Special thanks to my cousin for showing Kiia in Kajaani! But this is not all. "Nana" (Amazeme Everblue Skies) and Emmi competed in rally-obedience for the third time and got once again a passing score. This means that Nana is now known as RTK1 Nana. Huge congratulations to Emmi and Nana for your very first working title!

First of all I wish you all a Happy New Year! May this year be as good as last one!

We shall begin our new year's news with the news from last year as last Thursday Ronja and Hoppu competed in agility in III class and both did a clean run. They both were placed amongst first ten as well. The total number of participants was 54. Congratulations to Tuija and Mimmu for your excellent runs! In the photo you can see my pack consisting of five Border Collies and one Sheltie.

News of the year 2016

I have awfully been lazy to update our news in English. Since last update we have had excellent results in rally-obedience, obedience, working trials, agility, and shows. We have got also new Champions and our old Champions have received some new Champion titles. I think that it is wiser to update our news theme by theme.

I have been a little bit lazy updating our news in English. Sorry for that. I will do all my previous updates now. It seems that summer is a very active period in dog sports. :) In the beginning of August Siru and Nancy (Nancy is completely out of coat) participated in three-days shows in Kuopio or better Siru participated every day and Nancy only on Friday and on Sunday. On Friday Siru went BOB and received her second CACIB. Nancy went 3rd Best Of Bitches. On Satuday Siru went 2nd Best of Bitches and received again a CACIB. Sunday was not our day but I was happy that Nancy got both 'Excellent' and 'QC', as she IS totally out of coat. Many thanks to my cousin for presenting Siru in the big ring (she was shortlisted) and on Saturday.

Also other members from our Amazeme-team have got some very nice results. Super's and Ross' son, Koda went Best Junior of Breed on Saturday. He needs more training but when ready, he will surely gain more better positions and even CACs. His half-sister, Nova, has been doing just fantastic. In the first weekend of August she participated in two shows and went 3rd Best of Bitches in both days. Also Tikki was at semi-speciality show in Luumäki and went 4th Best of Dogs. Our beauty queen living in Sweden, Lace, instead, went BOB and received her second CACIB. Last weekend, Raina went 3rd Best of Bitches at international dog show in Oulu after a break of a year. Last week Raina and Kaija also competed in rally-obedience for the first time and got an excellent result. Huge congratulations to Mirkku, Lena, Kaija, Mari and Mirka for your excellent results!

Yesterday at national dog show in Raisio two puppies from our Ice-litter were showed. Ukko went Best Puppy of Breed and his sister Särmä went BOS puppy. Their half aunt, Meg, instead, went BOB. The judge was amazed by her and thanked her owner for bringing Meg to his ring. She was the only girl out of 11 who got 'Excellent' and 'QC'. There were 10 bitches in open class so we can be really happy and proud of Meg's succesful day! Huge congratulations to Säde, Pekka, Jaana and Henna for your very nice day in rainy Raisio! We have got also some very nice results. I already told you about Raina's rally-obedience result but her son, Rolf, has passed our Finnish Kennel Assocation's therapy dog test so he can start to go to retirement home and nurseries. This is something very valuable and I appreciate a lot Rolf's owner's willigness to help people and cheer them up. I am so proud of you!

We have some results from agility, rally-obedience and shows to be updated. In agility Liz and Jaana competed after a break of a year and did a clean run. They also got agility-CAC which means that in the future they will competed in III class. Huge huge congratulations to Jaana and talented Liz! Liz's half sister, Muusa and Heidi competed yesterday in open class of rally-obedience and got a passing score. Congratulations to Heidi and Muusa!

In shows ring this time were seen Eikka, another of our co-owned boys, Nemo and Meg. At international dog show in Pori Eikka won his class and went 2nd Best of Dogs. He also received a res-CAC. Also Nemo won his class and went 3rd Best of Dogs. The sire of our current litter, Laiko, went 4th Best of Dogs. But this is not all. One again, our lovely Meg went Best of Breed! She also received a CACIB. Congratulations to Tuija, Veera and Enni for your boys' successful day in Pori! Hugest congratulations to Henna for Meg's second CACIB! In the picture from left to right: Eikka, Nemo, Laiko and Meg.

Last Sunday Mirkku was at national dog show in Orivesi with Mac and Nova. Mac won his class with Excellent and QC. He also went 2nd Best of Dogs and received a res-CAC. Also Nova won her class with Excellent and QC. She was not placed in Best of Bitches -competition but she DID receive a res-CAC. Congratulations to Mirkku for your dogs' success in Orivesi!

A couple of days later, Nova's sister, Hoppu and Mimmu competed in II class in agility for the last time, as they did their last clean run and received a CAC. Hugest congratulations to Mimmu and Hoppu!

We have some very nice results from last two weekends that I have to update them here as well. :) A week ago at national dog show of Rantasalmi Siru went BOB and received her last CAC to obtain Finnish Champion -title. For those who do not know, in Finland, a Border Collie needs either to pass Finnish Character Test for dogs or to gain a working title (working trials/herding) to become a Finnish Champion. The test can be done only to dogs aged 2 to 6. Siru's great-grandmother, Nancy went 3rd Best of Bitches and Best Veteran of Breed at the same show. Our Croatian girl, Senna, got excellent and won her class but did not receive a "Qualified for Certificate (QC)". Nancy's son, Tikki, also won his class and went 2nd Best of Dogs receiving a res-CAC. The last CAC keeps waiting... Congratulations to Mirka and Petrik for Siru's last CAC! Congratulations also to Mari and Miika for Tikki's succesful day in Rantasalmi!

Last weekend was again full of excellent results. At international dog show of Kokkola Siru did good job and went 2nd Best of Bitches. Nancy went 4th Best of Bitches. There were more than 15 bitches entered in the show and from our three girls, two were placed in Best of Bitches -competition to which 10 very nice girls participated. The next day Meg and Henna went BOB at international dog show of Oulu. Also Meg received her last CAC and her first CACIB. These girls are only 2 years old so we can be really proud of them. Hopefully we will have more Amazeme Finnish Champion in the end of this year. Congratulations to Henna for Meg's last CAC and first CACIB! Meg's photo has been taken by Tanja Mäkipää.

Last weekend on Satuday, five out of six litter mates of Ice-litter met in their birthplace in Pori. Puppies could play and do some agility as well. Jaana's friend, the godmother of Ice-litter, Linda Lehtiheimo, took also some nice photos of our little ones. It is a pity that I could not come but luckily I will see some of them this weekend as we will have Amazeme -meeting at Koira-Kehro where we will do some herding and agility as well. There will be more than 20 Amazeme-dogs! I can hardly wait to see all of you! <3

Some fantastic results to update in late. Let's start with some agility results. Kiia participated in team competition of Finnish Championship of Agility with Tiia (a friend of mine) and they did a clean run. You can see their course here. Also Tuija and Ronja succesfully competed in agility. They managed to their last clean run and got right to compete in 3rd class. Huge congratulations to Tuija and Ronja! Also her daughter in Sweden, Lace, has been doing great job in agility. Lace and Lena got their 5th clean run in jumping course and thus they received AGHD2-diploma. Congratulations to Lena and Lace for this title!

We have had also some really nice results from shows as well. Nemo and Ronja were in Latvian Winner 2016 and both of them were res-LTW-16 receiving res-CACIB. On the next day, of these two, only Nemo was at national dog show in Estonia and this time Nemo was BOB and received his first Estoanian CAC. Congratulations to Veera and Tuija for your successful journey to Baltic countries. Last two weeks we have been in two shows of which one was held in Jämsä and another one in Alavus. In Jämsä we had Rosemary Easton (breeder of fantastic Danbeth-dogs in Australia) as a judge. She really felt in love with my oldest lady, Nancy. Nancy went BOB and Best Veteran of Breed. In the big ring of all veterans, she went 2nd Best of Veterans. I was so happy to show her as she was enjoying every moment in the ring. Siru went 3rd Best of Bitches and received a res-CAC. Two weeks later, Nancy's grandson, Miku was at international dog show of Rovaniemi under the same judge and he went 2nd Best of Dogs and received his first CAC. Congratulations to Sanna and Joel for Miku's first CAC! So in mid-June we were at national dog show in Alavus. I had four girls with me. Three of them were placed in Best of Bitches competition. The winner was this time, Super, who won the bitches and was BOS. In veteran class there were four old ladies of which one was my Nancy and one my Kiia. Kiia won the class and Nancy was the second. Kiia went also 2nd in Best of Bitches -competition. She was also Best Veteran of Breed. Siru went 3rd in Best of Bitches -competition and received a CAC. This was her 9th CAC in Finland!

We have received also some dna-test results: Amazeme Elderberry Valleys "Siru" CEA- ja TNS-normal, Amazeme Noble Sapphire "Meg" CEA-carrier, Amazeme Arctic Challenge "Eikka" and Amazeme Raspberry Hills "Lynn" CEA-carrier and TNS-normal.

Last week and weekend were again full of excellent results. Last Thursday, Tikki and Mari competed in seeking again, this time in open class. They did pretty good job and gained HK2 working title. Huge congratulations to Mari and Tikki! I am so proud of you two! We got some nice results in rally-obedience and agility, too. Nemo and Minna competed in a rally-obedience double competition. They gained a passing score from both competition and as they had already one passing score, this means that Nemo is now known as RTK1 Nemo. Huge congratulations to Minna and Nemo! You have done excellent work! Nemo's sister, Vinja and Heli did one more clean run in II class! My warmest congratulations to Heli and Vinja! This couple is amazing. They began competing in agility only last October and they have already two tickets to III class!

We got also some nice results in two different shows. Last Satuday in a national dog show in Järvenpää, two youngsters from our A-litter did well. Weeti won his class and was 3rd Best of Males. His sister, Tyyne, also won her class and was 4th Best of Bitches. Congratulations to both Johanna and Tiina for your excellent day in Järvenpää! At an international dog show in Joensuu Tikki won his class and was 3rd Best of Males. He also received a res-CAC. Our girls did well too. Diva got excellent was placed 2nd in her class. Her sister, Siru, won her class and was Best of Bitches and Best of Breed. Siru received her 8th CAC and her 1st CACIB. I am so proud of our little girl! Siru's and Diva's grandma, Kiia, won her class and was 4th Best of Bitches. She was also Best Of Veterans. I am so proud of my old lady. We have been in three shows and in all shows she has been placed in Best of Bitches -competition. Congratulations to Mirka and Pete for Siru's excellent results! Congratulations to Mari for Tikki's res-CAC!

First of all I want to wish Happiest Seventh Birthday to my first Amazeme-litter! I am so proud of all of you! Amazeme-story started with you and hopefully continues for many many years... Special birthday wished to my dear Super! I love you so much! This weekend was again full of great results. Especially our boys were active and successful which makes me so happy. Super's son, Eikka, participated in his very first shows last weekend. Both days he won the males and, of course, received a CAC. On Satuday he was BOB and on Sunday BOS. Not a bad start for a young boy! Eikka's half sister from mother side, Myy, was 2nd Best of Bitches on Sunday. She also received a res-CAC. Congratulations to Eikka's co-owner, Tuija, for your great weekend! Congratulations to Henna for Myy's fourth res-CAC! The photo below from BOB competition was taken by Mirkku Huhtala.

We also got some working results. This time the real workers were two boys of ours. Rolf and Linda competed for the third time in rally obedience and got an excellent result. Rolf is now known as RTK1 Rolf. :) Also another result came from rally obedience where Nemo and Minna competed for the first time getting a passing score. Congratulations also to Linda and Minna for your working results in rally obedience! Great job! The photo from BOB ring was taken by Mirkku Huhtala.

But this is not all. Super, herself, and I competed a week ago in the highest class of obedience and finally got last 1st prize for Obedience Champion -title. I have now three Finnish Obedience Champion girls at home. More than a week ago also Hannele and Lynn competed in obedience. They got 1st prize in Open class. Huge congratulations to Hanni for Lynn's great great result!

More than a week ago we also received great news about Nemo who has passed Rescue Dog Searching Test. One step closer to become an official SAR dog. Congratulations to Juha! A week ago, on Mothers' Day, I competed with Kiia in agility. We got 10 from both courses but we certainly enjoyed our courses!

We have been in shows too. On Ascension Day me and my cousin travelled to Helsinki for a show. We had Senna, Siru, Kiia and Nancy with us. There were also Taiger, Jäbä, Tyyne and Nana. Taiger got 'Very good' and won his class. But luckily, Jäbä did better and won the males. He also received his first CAC! Our junior girls, Senna and Tyyne, got both 'Excellent'. Tyyne won the class and received also a QC. Siru won her class and received a QC. Nana, this time almost without a coat, got 'Excellent' and won her class. My oldies got both 'Excellent'. Nancy won their class and Kiia was the second. They both got a QC. Nancy was placed the first position in the Best of Bitches competition. Siru was the second and received her seventh CAC. Tyyne was 3rd Best of Bitches and got a res-CAC. Kiia was 4th Best of Bitches. What a happy day! Nancy won Best of Breed -competition. She was shortlisted in Best Veteran of Show but finally not placed. Anyway, I could have not been happier about our results. Congratulations to Pekka and Säde for Jäbä's first CAC! Congratulations to Tiina for excellent start with Tyyne! Thank you all for such a nice day together and for your help! The same week on Sunday we got some nice results from a CAC show in Harjavalta where Myy was 2nd Best of Bitches and received a res-CAC. Our young lady, Lynn was 3rd Best of Bitches. Congratulations to Henna and Hanni for your very nice day in Harjavalta!

Long time no seen but finally we have some fantastic news to share with. Last weekend there was a CACIB show in Tampere to which 13 dogs and 25 bitches had been entered (although in both sexes there were some absent). From our team we had 2 boys, Mac and Nemo, and 7 girls. The cousins, Siru and Lynn were presented in intermediate class. Three sisters out of our F-litter, Nova, Rilla and Myy were presented in Open class. Ronja participated in Champion class, and my two old ladies, Kiia and her mum, Nancy, in Veteran class. Both of our boys got excellent, and Mac was placed the second in his class with QC (qualified for CAC). In Intermediate class there were eight girls. Siru and Lynn got both 'Excellent'. Siru was placed the first with QC and Lynn the second. This one our first win! Also all our girls in open class got 'Excellent' but what did Rilla? She won a very strong class, so she was our second class winner! But this is not all. Also Ronja got excellent with QC and won her class. A third class winner from our team! In Veteran class there were five old ladies. All got excellent but my girls won the class and were the only one receiving also QC. Nancy was the first and Kiia the second. Unbelievable! In Winners Bitch competition Rilla was the first (she also received a CAC and a CACIB), my Nancy was the second, her daughter, Ronja, was the third (she received res-CACIB) and another daughter of Nancy, Kiia, was the fourth. Siru was placed 5th and she received a res-CAC. Rilla finished BOS in the final competition but Nancy won Best Veteran of Breed -title. Also our group finished in first position in Best Breeder -competition. What a day! I was (and still I am) overwhelmed by our success! Many thanks to active owners and special thanks to Jaana for presenting Nancy and to Heidi for presenting Kiia in Best of Bitches -competition. Congratulations to Hanni for Rilla's second CAC and first CACIB!

Then some smaller but equally important news. Our young lady, Siru (Amazeme Elderberry Valleys) (Siru is in the picture on the right. Photo has been taken by Johanna Heinijoki at Tampere show) did rather well in Best Show Border Collies of The Year 2015 -competition organised by Finnish Border Collies and Australian Kelpies Club. She finished in second position with 99 points whereas the Winner, a Champion class male, won the competition with 104 points. We could say that last year Siru was the most successful Border Collie bitch in Finland, right? I am extremely proud of this young girl, as she became 9 months old only in March and the competition is rather hard especially among the girls. Last year Siru was placed Best of Breed three times. She was also placed six times in Best of Bitches -competitions. In addition, she received 6 CACs and 3 res-CACs. The most beautiful results of hers was 4th place in our speciality show to which over 80 bitches of great quality had been entered. Congratulations to Mirka and Pete for the successful year of our little princess!

Then last but not least. My little girl, Brie has been genetically tested CEA normal. I am pleased with this result!

I have been extremely busy with my puppies but now they have moved to their new homes, so I have more time to update my pages. Two weeks ago Meg, Myy and Henna were in Lithuania for two CACIB shows. Both days Meg won her class, received a CAC and was res-CACIB bitch. Myy won her class on Sunday and received a CAC. Congratulations to Henna for your nice results in Vilnius! Last Satuday, Lynn was the 4th best of bitches in Seinäjoki. Congratulations to Hanni for such a nice result!

Lace and Lena, instead, competed in agility and did their second clean run in II class. Congratulations to Lena and Lace for your excellent results! I also competed in obedience with Super with new rules. We did rather good job and got 3rd prize. Although we did not manage to obtain 1st prize, I was pretty satisfied with our result.

A couple of weeks ago, Super's daughter, Elli was shown for the first time. She won her class and was 2nd best of bitches. She also received a res-CAC. Congratulations to Jenni for your nice day in Tuusniemi! The same day, Vinja and Heli competed once again in agility and did their first clean run in II class. Congratulations to Heli for your excellent results in agility!

In February, Freya and Nina competed in agility and did their first clean run in II class. We should remember that they just got the right to compete in II class! In February, also Freya's full sister, Hoppu and Mimmu did one more clean run in II class. Congratulations to Mimmu and Hoppu for your nice results in agility! We have got also some nice results in rally obedience. For example, Ralli and Lilja got their third passing score in beginner's class. This means that they obtained their first "working title", RTK1. Congratulations to Nina and Lilja for your excellent results in agility or rally obedience!

In February there was Finnish Championship competition of team skiing to which Rolf and Linda participated. They were the third best and won the silver medal. I could not be more proud of this couple. Last month, we got also some nice results in rally obedience, i.e. Muusa and Heidi competed in rally obedience and a passing score with 99 points out of 100. Congratulations to Heidi and Muusa for your excellent result in rally obedience! With such talented and active owners, I hope to have more time to update my pages. Otherwise it will take some much time to catch up our Amazeme news! :)

The results of this weekend came from rally-obedience and agility. This time the "result makers" were Luka and Freya. Luka and Johanna competed for the first time in rally obedience and got a passing score from their very first course. They got 99 points out of 100. Congratulations to Johanna and Luka for your excellent start in rally obedience! Freya and Nina competed today in agility and did a really fast clean run winning their class. One more to go to the second class! Congratulations to Nina and Freya for your excellent result! Once again I can be so proud and happy about my greatly working Amazeme-dogs and their fantastic owners!

Vinja and Heli took care of the results for this week. This multitalented couple competed in agility in Kuopio yesterday and did a really fast clean run. As this was their third clean run, they got the right to compete in the second class. They were placed the second amongst 16 dogs. Huge congratulations to Heli and Vinja for a great start of the year 2016!

Hilla took care of another great "result", as she gave birth to four girls and one boy on 19 January. You can read more about our B-litter from their own page.

Yesterday there was a semi-speciality show (FCI groups 1 & 2) in Lahti to which two Amazeme dogs participated. Both of them did rather good job. Rolf was placed 3rd Best of Dogs amongst 15 dogs. He also received a CAC. This is his second one for the Finnish Champion title. Myy won a very strong and big open class and was placed the second best of bitches. Myy received a res-CAC. There were 20 bitches entered in the show so we must be very pleased with these results. BOB and Best Veteran of Breed was the sire of our N-litter, Tico. Congratulations to Linda, Henna and especially to Reijo for your very successful day in Lahti!

A week ago, instead, Rolf and Linda competed for the second time in rally obedience and got a passing score with 99 points out of 100. They were placed the second out of 27 dogs in the competition. Also Nana and Emmi competed for the first time ever in rally obedience and got a passing score. Well done! Congratulations to both of you!

About 10 days ago, on 7 January, a beautiful Ice-litter was born. There are three boys and three girls. You can read and see more photos on their own blog, although it is written only in Finnish.

The news of the year 2015

Although I have not updated News-page, it does not mean that there have not been any news... It means that I have only been lazy. ;) We have had four shows in last four weeks. We have also got the health results of Lynn and an eye test update of Ralli. Lynn has A/A hips, 0/0 elbows, 0/0 kness, LTV0 and shoulders free of OCD. She is a perfectly healthy girl. Also Ralli's eyes were clean. Congratulations to Hannele and Lilja for excellent health results! During these last weeks, we did some progress in our breeding plans. The dam of our Ice-litter, Liz, had an ultra sound and she is definitely expecting puppies. Also our B-litter might be on its way... Keeping still our fingers crossed for both of my ladies. Hilla is going to have an ultra sound check on 18 December 2015.

A couple of weeks ago we have two international shows here in Jyväskylä, and a week ago we have Helsinki Winner 2015 and Finnish Winner 2015 shows in Helsinki. From our team, the most successful dogs this time were Kiia, Nemo, Ronja and Siru. The second day in Jyväskylä Siru won her class and received a res-CAC. A week ago, in Helsinki, Kiia won a strong veteran class and gained HeVW-15 title. Nemo won his class and was the 2nd Best of Males. Ronja, instead, was the second best of champion class but she also was the second best of females. Both of them received a res-CACIB. Congratulations to Veera and Tuija for your excellent results in both days! On Sunday, Kiia was the second in veteran class. She was doing a great job with Mirkku. Thank you Mirkku for presenting so well my little Kiia.

We have got some fantastic results in agility from our T-litter. A week ago Lace and Lena did their third clean run in agility course and now they have right to compete in II class in both agility and jumping courses. Her sister, Vinja and Heli got their second clean run yesterday winning their class. One more to go to II class. Congratulations to Lena and Heli! I am so proud of you! We got also some nice result in rally obedience. Today Heidi and Muusa got 88 points out of 100. As this was their third passed course, Muusa is now known as RTK1 Muusa. Congratulations to Heidi and Muusa for a new title!

I, instead, have been busy with my girls. I came back from Germany this Monday. I spent four wonderful days at Simaro house enjoying of every moment. Thank you Silvia and Roland for your great hospitality! Our Liz (Finnish pages) was mated to absolutely gorgeous Cruz. There are no words to tell how grateful I am for Silvia and Roland about this wonderful opportunity! But this is not all. I travelled back home with the most sweetest and so handsome boy, Bo. I am wishing to mate Hilla with Bo. You can read about my breeding plans at Puppies-page. Lace's photo (on the left) has been taken by Emilie Ebler and that of Vinja (on the right) by Heli Lemmetty.

Last weekend we got some new results from obedience, rally obedience and agility. All three results were made by our fantastic boys, Rolf, Luka, and Capo. Rolf and Linda competed for the first time in rally obedience and received 95 points out of 100. Rolf's brother, Luka, and Johanna, instead, competed for the first time in obedience and received 159 points out of 200. Lotta and Capo once again ran a clean run in II class and won their class. This was their second clean run in II class. One more to go to III class! Congratulations to Linda and Johanna for a very nice start in rally obedience and obedience! Huge congratulations to Lotta and Capo for your successful day in Pietarsaari! I am so proud of all of you! You have done excellent work!

More than a couple of weeks ago me and Kiia competed in agility running four courses which were quite challening but I liked them a lot. We got three results (twice 5 and once 10). I was extremely satisfied with our work together! A day after, Kiia's and Tico's son, Ralli and Lilja competed in rally obedience and they passed the course with 79 points out of 100. This was their second result in novice class. One more to go to the open class! Congratulations to Lilja and Ralli! You have been doing excellent job!

More than a week ago we were at international dog show in Seinäjoki with Super and Siru. Also Super's daughter, Nova and Mac participated. They both got this time 'VG' but Super was the second best of bitches and received res-CACIB. Siru, instead, won intermediate class and was the fourth best of bitches with res-CAC. They were 15 bitches entered so I am quite happy to have two Amazeme girls out of three were placed in Best of Bitches -competition.

I have been awfully busy and have had no time for updating my pages. I am sorry for that. It seems that Amazeme-team members have been lately awfully busy too. More than a week ago, Theba and Sara competed once again in working trial. This time in the highest class of seeking. They got a wonderful result with 267 points out of 300 and a new title, HK3. Congratulations to this multi talented couple, Sara and Theba! I am extremely proud of you.

I am also proud of one of our youngsters, i.e. ten days ago Lynn and Hannele competed for the first time in obedience and got 1st prize with 171 points out of 200 although they got 0 points from distance control. Although she is only 15 months old, she was able to show her best throughout the competition. Huge congratulations to Hannele and Lynn! You have done excellent work!

Last week we got three more health results of which one was a huge and unfortunate suprise for us. Our sweet co-owned boy's, Mac's, hips are D/D. Fortunately everything is okay in the front and in spinal, so he does not need to give up his activities. Although he cannot be a brood dog, he continues normally his life with Mirkku, Olli and Nova. The last "puppy" from our E-litter, Diva, has been examined as well. Diva has B/B hips and her elbows are 0/0. We are still waiting her LTV-result. In our E-litter we got three A/A-hips, two B/B hips and once C/B-hips. All six have 0/0 elbows. Five out of six were examined also in shoulders and all of them have them OCD free. Last week we also received the results of Meg. She has A/A hips, 0/0 elbows and shoulders free of OCD. Huge congratulations to Sanna and Henna for healthy girls! I have totally forgot to mention that our wonderful girl, Hilla, had an eye test and gonioskopy. Both tests were clear so our plans can continue. Congratulations to Laura (and me!) for a healthy girl!

Last weekend we got some new, fantastic show results. On Saturday there was a semi-speciality show in Tuulos to which Sokka participated. He was the second best of males and won res-CAC. His cousin, Myy, instead, was Best of Opposite Sex winning also a CAC, of course. This was the second CAC to Myy. Huge congratulations to Suvi and Henna for your excellent day in Tuulos!

In a week we have some new results from working trials and shows. We have received also some new health results. Let's start with working trial results. Super's twin, Theba and Sara competed last week in the highest class of searching (this working trial includes both tracking and seeking but also retrieving an object and searching a small utility object in a forest) and they got the first prize. To become Working Trial Champion, a dog needs to get three first prizes in the highest class. Congratulations to Sara and Theba for an excellent result! I am so proud of you two!

Today, instead, we got new health results of our E-litter. Jäbä has B/B hips and 0/0 elbows. Also the shoulders are OCD free. Congratulations to Säde and Pekka for a healthy boy!

Yesterday another girl from our F-litter, Nova, competed for the first time in agility and ran two very nice courses. Congratulations to Olli, Mirkku and Nova for nice results!

On Sunday we were at group show Muurame to which 29 dogs participated. Six dogs from our team participated. Our gorgeous, big teddy bear, Taiger got 'Very good' with a very nice judgement. His sister, Nana, who was completely out of coat, got also 'Very good' with a nice judgement. Our youngster, Rolf won junior class with excellent and received also 'Qualified for CAC'. He was also 3rd Best of Males. Two girls from our F-litter, Hoppu and Nova got both 'Excellent'. Nova was placed the second in open class (10 bitches entered) and she received also 'Qualified for CAC'. Her mother, Super (totally out of coat after puppies), got 'Excellent' and was the second in the working class. She also received 'Qualified for CAC'. Her half sister, Kiia won champion class with 'Excellent' and was 3rd Best of Bitches. Their mother, Nancy was 2nd in veteran class with excellent and was qualified for certificate as well. I am so happy of these results. Congratulations to Linda for Rolf's excellent placement!

A day before, three dogs from out team participated in national show Porvoo to which almost 30 dogs were entered. Zinna received 'Very good'. She was a little bit too proud of her tail. :) Sokka was the only boy from our team but he did rather good job. He won open class with 'Excellent' and received also 'Qualified for Certificate'. As four first males could not receive res-CAC, Sokka got it. But this is not all. Our beauty queen, Liz charmed the judge and in the end she was Best of Breed. She got a very nice critics saying that:"Extremely beautiful, very typical bordercollie bitch, Everything fits together like a hand in a glove. Wonderful head and expression. Perfect bone structure. Nice angulations. She has movement that standard asks for, effective and low. Bitch of high class". I am so proud of this little girl! Congratulations to Jaana and Suvi for excellent results at national show of Porvoo! Best of Opposite Sex was gorgeous Noblefamily's River Of Dreams "Noe". Congratulations to Nina for Noe's successful day in Porvoo!

Last Thursday the one and only, the real queen, Nancy celebrated her 12th birthday with her family. Each invited got her own cake with a sausage. I kept a speech and sang to her. She appreciated the most the cake. ;) Happy birthday, my dear 12-years-old lady!

On Saturday we competed with Kiia in tracking with poor results. After the first stick, Kiia switched to a wrong track and we got lost. :P As the weather was poor, I decided to give up and go back home right away. Let's see if this was our last trial in tracking. We might be concentred more in agility and rally obedience in the future. On Sunday we went to Pieksämäki for obedience training but as I got a stomach flu, I did not have much energy to work with my girls. However, I manage to take new photos of my co-owned girl, Senna and Super's and Ross' son, Koda. It was so nice to see you both! Thank you for coming! Fortunately we got also some very nice news as Mimmu and Hoppu competed for the first time in the second class in agility and got a clean run winning the class. Congratulations to Mimmu and Hoppu for excellent course! Hoppu's photo has been taken by Milma Luukkonen.

This is not all. Henna's girls, Myy (Hoppu's sister) and Meg, got very nice results at national show of Vantaa under a quite strick judge. Myy got excellent and was placed the second in open class. Meg, instead, won junior class with excellent and was qualified for certificate. She was placed the second best of bitches and received one more CAC. Congratulations to Henna!

Although the past weekend was not so active, we got some nice results. On Saturday at international dog show Janakkala three girls participated from our team to the show. Myy got 'Very good' in open class and was the third. Her "little sister", Meg was the second best in junior class with 'Excellent'. Meg also received 'QC' (Qualified for Certificate).

Last two weekends have been fantastic. On 16 August Capo and Lotta competed once again succesfully in agility and did their third clean run in I class which means that they have now right to compete in II class. Huge congratulations to Lotta and Capo! You have done some excellent work! Last weekend Amazeme-dogs were seen in shows, agility and rally obedience with some very nice results. Nova was the second best of bitches at national show Kouvola. Nova also received a res-CAC which was the fifth to her. She surely will receive "the big qualifying certificate" one day! My co-owned girl, the future dam of our B-litter, Hilla, won the champion class and was the third best of bitches. Huge congratulations for both Mirkku and Laura!

The next day, two sisters of Nova got excellent results as well as Lova competed in rally obedience and Hoppu in agility. Lova and Jonna passed the course and as this one the third course passed, Lova gained RTK1-title. Congratulations to Jonna and Lova for a new title! Hoppu and Mimmu participated in same competition as me. They did a clean run at the first course which means that Hoppu got the right to compete in II class. I competed with our sheltie, Nasta and we did two very nice runs but no results this time. However, I am very pleased with our courses as we have been training only 10 months now and she was doing great job! Huge congratulations to Mimmu and Hoppu for your agility CAC!

In Tallinn, Estonia, instead, there was this Baltic Winner 2015 -show last weekend. Border Collies were judged by Gerard Jipping, The Netherlands on Sunday. The judge liked our Diva a lot and at the end she was Best of Opposite Sex. She also received J-CAC and BALTJW-15 -title. So well done, Sanna and Diva! Me and Kiia competed in agility after a break of 6 months. We do not compete very often, I have to say. This was our second competition this year and last year we did not compete at all. However, Kiia did excellent work and we got a clean run at the second course. We also obtained our first agility CAC. She might get too old to collect three of them but I can be honestly proud of my girl.

Last weekend was full of action, as me and my cousin travelled on Saturday morning first to Nokia semi speciality show to which Mac, Nemo, Meg, Nana, Super, Nova, Myy and Nancy participated. All of them got 'Excellent'. We also won in every class in which we participated. Mac won junior class males but did not receive this time QC. Nemo won open class males but as he was the only one who received QC, he was also Best of Dogs and received his last CAC for Finnish Champion -title. He still needs to either pass Finnish Character Test or got a result from a working trial to complete his title. Huge congratulations to Veera and to his another co-owner Anita!

There was a tough competition between our girls. Four of our girls out of six won their class with both Excellent and QC. Also Nova received QC. As just our girls were those who received QC, the competition of Best of Bitches was between our girls. Nova was 4th Best of Bitches, her mother, Super, being 3rd Best of Bitches. Nova's cousin, Nana, was 2nd Best of Bitches. Nana also received her third res-CAC. And the winner was our young, blue girl, Meg, the daughter of Kiia and Tico. Meg of course received a CAC as well and was selected BOB. Our grand old lady, Nancy, was Best Veteran of Breed. Our group was also Best Breeder of Breed. I have to say that I could not expect such great success at Nokia semi speciality show. Huge congratulations to Henna, Elina and Mirkku for your great results! Speciality thanks to Mirkku for taking care of my ladies, Super and Nancy, during my journey to Budapest.

On my way to Helsinki-Vantaa airport, I got more nice news from international dog show in Joensuu. Another daughter of Kiia, Raina, was Best of Bitches and received her second CACIB. She was also Best of Opposite Sex. But this is not all. The daughter of Raina's sister, Diva, won junior class with Excellent and QC and was 3rd Best of Bitches. She also received a res-CAC. In addition, Diva was BOB Junior. Diva was at Joensuu national show also the next day repeating her position. Congratulations to Kaija and Sanna for your very nice day/weekend in Joensuu! I travelled to Budapest where I met a couple of friends with their awesome dogs. I was so happy to be able to meet these fantastic persons and their gorgeous boys. Thank you, Szilvia, Hajni and Tìmea for your generosity! I enjoyed a lot our evening together in the night of Budapest. The next day I travelled back home but not alone. I had with me a fantastic little girl, Senna (Heaven's Dust Of Bordertreowe). Senna travelled from Croatia via Budapest to Finland to complete our team. I will make pages to this wonderful girl as soon as I get some time to sit down. Thank you Tia and Aleksandra for this very promising girl! I already love her to bits!

We have got also some very nice news from Tampere where Theba got an excellent result in open class of seeking. Like that she also obtained HK2 title. Her sister's, Super's daughter, Myy, received her third first prize in beginner's class in obedience with 191 points out of 200. That is awesome! Myy is now known TK1 Myy. My hugest congratulations to Sara and Henna for excellent job! Well done! Super has been in a couple of international shows (including World Winner) without big wins but nice results. Our co-owned boy from Poland, Nemo, was the second best of males in CACIB show in Tervakoski and received res-CAC and res-CACIB. Congratulations to Veera!

A couple of weeks ago we had a very nice training day all together. We had 22 nicely working Border Collies doing agility and obedience. It was so nice to spent all the day with these wonderful dogs and their super nice owners. In the photo we practice down-stay with 12 dogs. We also got some nice news from Sweden where Lace and Lena had competed for the first time in agility. No clean runs this time but surely very soon as Lace had done very nice job.

Viime päivät ovat olleet yhtä huisketta. Reilu viikko sitten matkasimme SBCAKin erikoisnäyttelyyn Helsinkiin. Kotiintuomisiksi ei meillä ollut EH:ta kummempaa. Kasvateistani kehässä nähtiin myös Mökö ja Sokka. Molemmat saivat erinomaiset. Mökö sijoittui avoimessa luokassa neljänneksi ja Sokka junnuluokassa toiseksi SA:n kera. Yhteisomistuspoikamme, Nemo sai myöskin erinomaisen ja sijoittui nuorten luokassa toiseksi SA:n kera. Paljon onnea Suville, Tuomakselle, Tarulle, Veeralle ja Anitalle erinomaisista tuloksista! Tästä viikon päästä olikin sitten kolmipäiväinen KV-näyttelyturnee Kuopiossa. Superin paras sijoitus oli PN2 lauantailta. Perjantaina ja sunnuntaina Super sijoittui PN4:ksi. Edelleen lähes karvaton mummokoira, Nancy teki hattutempun ja oli Rotunsa paras veteraani kolmena päivänä peräkkäin. Olen tästä todella tyytyväinen, sillä vaikka Nancy oli luokassaan ainokainen, ei erinomaisen saaminen ole silti taattua. Lauantaina Nancy sijoittui myös PN4:ksi. Varsin hienosti tehty mummokoiralta. Saimme myös hienoja uutisia Ruotsin maalta. Lacen lonkat tulivat A/A:n takaisin ja kyynärät 0/0. Lausujana meidän oma Anne Liman. Christmaanit ovat nyt kaikki kuvattu ja neljällä heistä on B/B lonkat, yhdellä A/A lonkat ja yhdellä C/B lonkat. Kaikilla kyynärät ovat 0/0. Terveystulosten lisäksi kuulin, että Lace oli suorittanut MH-kuvauksen. Pisterivi oli seuraavanlainen: 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 1 1 1 3 2 1 1 1 1 1 3 2 1 2 1 3 1 1 3 3 4 4 1 1 2. Erityisesti olen ilahtunut ampumisesta ja aktiviteettitasosta. Lace vaikuttaa viisaasti harkitsevalta nuorelta tytöltä.

The parents of our N-litter competed both in obedience with great results. Tico got the first result in the third class. He also won his class and received Prize of Honour. Also Kiia got the first prize in elite class. She also won her class. Huge congratulations to Reijo! We also received some nice news from Finnish Kennel Association. Kiia's and Rane's kids, Lasse and Grima have both A/A hips and 0/0 elbows. Congratulations to Anne and Ellinoora for a healthy kid! The photo has been taken by Sanna Nikunen.

Last weekend we made a short journey to the West coast of Finland, more exactly to Kokkola and Oulu where there was an international dog show. On Saturday Super was the second best of bitches and on Sunday the best of bitches and Best Of Opposite Sex. Super also received a CACIB which was for her the 13th. On Saturday Oiva was the third best of males his son, (Pikkupaimenen Time After Time), winning the males in both days.. I was especially happy about the success my dear Nancy got. In both days she was Best of Veterans even she is totally out of coat. On Saturday she was also the fourth best of bitches. The photo on the right side is taken of Oiva in Kokkola and the another one is taken of his son, Rönni, at the same place.

This week we have received two new health resulsts. Hilla and our co-owned boy from Poland, Nemo, have both A/A hips, 0/0 elbows and shoulders free of OCD. Huge congratulations to Laura, Veera, Anita and to myself as well! But this is not all. Yesterday Nancy's and Otto's daughter, Rytmi, competed in open class in obedience and got the first prize. Congratulations to Salli!

Today we received two fantastic news. The sire of my R-litter, Ross, became Finnish Agility Champion. But this is not all as we got the fourth Amazeme Finnish Show Champion.

Our big boy, Nemo out of Ronja and Dennis, has been scored for hips and elbows and he has B/B hips and 0/0 elbows. Also his spinal was ok. Congratulations to Juha and Minna for a healthy boy! We should not forget that Nemo won Junior class with Excellent in international dog show in Pori. The photo of Nemo and Liz has been taken by Mirkku Huhtala.

Yesterday Hilla (Amazeme Smoky Blue Diamond) was shown in international dog show in Kotka where she was the best of bitches and BOS. She also received her first CAC. Huge congratulations to Laura! Photo has been taken by Kirsti Lousa. On Monday we received the official health results of Liz. Her hips are A/a and elbows 0/0. Also her shoulders were OCD free and back normal. Congratulations to Jaana for excellent health results! On Friday, unfortunately, the news were not so excellent. Sokka has C/B hips but his shoulders and elbows are clear. Also his back was otherwise ok but he has LTV1. However, we are happy to know that he can continue his activities in a normal way.

On Thursday Lara got the first prize in open class of obedience. This was her second first prize. One more to go for title. Congratulations to Jenni! Me and my dear Super, did not so great job. We need more training and experience to achieve our goal. Luckily, other team members do excellent job. Last week Super's sister, Theba competed in seeking for the first time and got the first prize right away. Congratulations to Sara! But this is not all. Tikki from our M-litter passed Behavior Test and is now known BH Tikki. Congratulations to Mari for passing the test.

The first photo has been taken by Sara Annala and the second one by Mari Väänänen.

But this is not all. The sire of our R-litter, Ross, became Finnish Obedience Champion. This is surely not the last champion title this boy will get in his life. Huge congratulations to Janika!

Last Tuesday we went to Padasjoki for obedience trial with Super. She was doing nice job but this time we did not get the first prize but the second prize. Her sister, Ronja, competed in Winner's class and got the first prize winning her class and receiving also Prize of Honour. Also the sire of our N-litter, Tico, competed in Winner's class and got the first prize. Huge congratulations to Tuija and Reijo for excellent results! With Super I competed also on Thursday. This time we got 253,5 points out of 320. Maybe next time we will get the first prize...

But this is not all. Last week we received very nice news from Kennel Association. Ronja's and Dennis' daughter, Vinja, has B/B hips and 0/0 elbows. Congratulations to Heli for a healthy girl!

Me and Super competed in seeking yesterday. Super did excellent job in the forest and found all three hiding persons but we failed in obedience (with obstacles more specificly) and therefore we did not get a result. Maybe next time...

We have got some very nice results from last weekend. First of all, Lara passed Finnish Character Test and like this when receiving her last CAC, she becomes Finnish Champion. Her sisters, Theba and Ronja, also did excellent work. Theba competes for the first time in searching and got right away the second result. Like this Theba is now known as EK1 Theba. Ronja competed in agility and got her last CAC and competes in the second class in the future. Huge congratulations to Jenni, Sara and Tuija for excellent results!

On Sunday five out of six daughters of Super (F-litter) were on mental description (MH). It was highly interesting to see how differently they all reacted and behaved. This was my first time seeing descriptions in real life.

Five sisters together

Last weekend two Amazeme Border Collies were also seen in show ring. Capo received 'Very good' and won his class in Vaasa. On Sunday Lara was the third with Excellent and Qualified for CAC. Congratulations to Jenni and Lotta for very nice results!

I am so happy to share these wonderful news I received today from Tallinn, Estonia. Ronja and Nemo participated both in Tallinn Winner 2014 show. Both of them won their class with Excellent and were also 'Qualified for Certificate'. Ronja was the third best of bitches and received Estonian CAC and CACIB.

Lately there have been lots of changes and excitement in our life. First of all, we were obliged to change our plans for A-litter because Raina's heat did not progress in a normal way. Instead of risking too much, we decided to try with a gorgeous Finnish boy full of action and great will to please. Raina has been mated now three times and we will see if we can continue mating tomorrow. We will see if we get her to expect puppies in this way or not. Keeping our fingers crossed. I want to thank Szilvia for understanding this really difficult situation and promising me your wonderful Grog for another girl of mine.

Yesterday we got excellent news from Oulu where Jaana and Tarmo competed in obedience and obtained an excellent result with 189 points out of 200. The judge gave them also the Prize Of Honour. Huge congratulations for Jaana and Tarmo! But this is not all. We got news that Super was chosen Top Border Collie of the year 2013 by our Finnish Border Collies and Australian Kelpies Club. I am extremely happy about this nomination!

We had an excellent journey to Lithuania for two CACIB shows. The first one was Lithuania Winner 2014 and the second one Vilnius Cup 2014 at the same time. The first day Super won bitches and was BOS. She also received her 10th CACIB. Like this she fulfilled her BALT and LT CH titles. She also became LTW-14. Kiia was the second best of bitches and received res-CACIB. On Sunday Kiia was the Best of Bitches and also BOB. She received her fifth CACIB. Also she became BALT & LT CH. Her new "boyfriend", Tico (Maccabee Sound Of Soul), won the dogs and was BOS. He also became LT CH and got his third CACIB. He can now apply for C.I.B. We could not have done better job. I am so happy and proud of my girls.

At the same time in Finland, my girls' daughters were doing excellent work in show rings. In a group show in Seinäjoki Kiia's and Rane's daughter, Liz, won junior class with 'Excellent' and 'QC'. Two girls from F-litter, Nova and Rilla also got 'Excellent' with QC. Rilla was the second in intermediate class and Nova was the first. Nova was also the fourth best of bitches. Huge congratulations to Jaana, Hannele and Mirkku for such nice results!

First of all I want to wish Happy Birthday to our 1-year-old T-litter! We had a great great weekend full of friends, action, and fun time. On Saturday we competed for the first time in rally obedience with Nancy and we got 95 points out of 100. On Sunday I made some severe mistakes which cost us too much. On Saturday we also had international dog show in Jyväskylä. Hoppu, Oiva and Super got the best results in our team. Hoppu got excellent and was the third in intermediate class. Also Oiva got excellent and was the third in champion class. Super won her class with excellent and was 4th Best of Bitches. Our youngsters did not get so great results but were showing themselves very nicely. Congratulations to Milma and Leila for excellent results! Thank you to all of you for a very nice day together!

I am so happy to share these news with you. Kaija and Raina (Amazeme Crystal Jewel) competed for the first time in open class of obedience and right away got the first prize. I am so proud of these two! Huge congratulations to Kaija and Raina!

First of all I want to thank this wonderful team (in the photo) for last year. We have been training together since last year and lots of progress has been made. In the picture, you can hopefully see six future Finnish Obedience Champions. Besides training, this weekend brought also some nice news. Nina and Freya competed for the third time in obedience and also this time they got the first prize with 185 points out of 200. They also received the prize of honour. I am so proud of this couple. They are doing excellent work. As I have been quite busy with my website, I did not have time to share excellent news from the weekend two weeks ago. In Lahti, Super's daughter, Myy was the second best of bitches and received her first CAC. The very same day, in international dog show in Kajaani, her mum, Super was Best Of Opposite Sex and received a CACIB. Super lost BOB title to Oiva's and Ruska's son, Rönni (Pikkupaimenen Time After Time). The daddy himself won Champion class and was the second best of dogs. He also received a CACIB. Oiva's sister, Raina was the third best of bitches and received her sixth res-CAC. So we did have an excellent day with lots of success and especially good time with friends. Thank you all for sharing these moments with us!

It's time to take a look back over the last year and think about the achievements which were not few. Last year we got two beautiful litters. The first one, S-litter, was born in January and the second one, T-litter, in February. Many of us got excellent results in obedience about which I am extremely happy. In working trials, Super got one title and that was in seeking. I am so proud of my "little monster". I competed with my youngsters in the highest class of obedience with some nice results. Still the biggest achievement has not yet completed. In shows we had some very nice results. Super was once 4th Best in Group and her daughter, Rilla, got CAC. Kiia's two daughters, Raina and Liz, got also CAC. We also received four new titles. Nancy became Latvian Champion and Baltic Champion in June when she was 9 years and 9 months old. Also Super and Oiva (Amazeme Cosmic Time) became Latvian Champion. Oiva is the fourth Amazeme champion. But this is not all. Mari and Tikki (Amazeme Millennium Story) won Finnish Australian Kelpies and Border Collies club's championship in team skiing and Super's daughter, Freya (Amazeme February Stars) and Nina in obedience in beginner's class.

Last year we also got very nice health results of F-litter. All girls got healthy elbows, hips, shoulders and knees. Above all, the most important achievement has been the feedback that I have received from the owners. They are happy about their own little dogs and enjoying of training with them in agility, obedience, tracking, seeking, herding or what so ever. My happiness is the happiness of my little ones and their owners. I want to thank all of you for excellent year together! I wish this year was even more successful.

From this weekend we had some very nice results from international dog show held in Lahti and from two obedience trials in Lempäälä. Let's start with beauty competitions. :) From our team, we had four girls in the ring. Lova (A. Foxtrot Lady) and Myy (A. French Revolution) were shown in intermediate class for the first time.

Lova and Jonna got 171 points out of 200 and Rilla and Hannele 187 points out of 200. Rilla also received Prize of Honour and won her class.

It is nice to see that we do not have only beauty but also brains. :)

Last weekend we were quite busy because on Saturday Super, Oiva, my cousin and me participated in tracking trial. This time we got no result but lots of valuable experience. However, I can be so proud of Kiia's and Ryan's son, Oiva, who did excellent work in very demanding conditions.

Last Saturday after a short break we competed with Kiia in agility. Although either this time we did not get any clean run, I was so happy with the way she worked with me. At the same time, two girls of hers, Hilla and Liz were in a show for the first time in puppy class. Both of them were Best Puppy, Hilla in a national dog show in Mäntyharju and Liz in Tampere. Congratulations to Laura and Jaana for a very nice start in shows!

Huge congratulations to Nina and Freya for a great start in obedience competition. This fantastic couple participated in their first obedience competition and got right away the first prize. Great job! I am so proud of you!

Again some very nice news to update. Our next litter's sire, Aron, was eye-tested and everything was ok. Our project can go on. We also received very nice news from Finnish Kennel Club. Lova's (Amazeme Foxtrot Lady) hips are B/A and elbows 0/0. Her shoulders and knees are also clean. Congratulations to Jonna for a healthy girl!

Last weekend not only Rilla did great job in obedience competition. Also her aunt, Lara (Amazeme Good Story) got an excellent 1st prize in Open class with 183 points and Prize of honour. Lara's brother, Ekku (Amazeme Greatest Hits), got third prize in Open class. Better luck next time! Also Rilla competed in Open class and got right away the first prize. This couple is doing great great job. Friday they got first prize in beginner's class and a day after right away the first prize in open class. Huge congratulations to all of you!

Me too, I competed with Kiia in obedience but this time we did not get any result. We need to practice harder. Kiia's daughter, Grima (Amazeme Strong Faith), instead, was showed up for the first time in puppy class. She was the first one with prize of honour and first of all, she was Best Puppy! Congratulations to Ellinoora for well behaving puppy and charming girl!

So many great news to share with you (and unluckily some not so good news). Let's start with "not so good" news. Almost two weeks ago we competed with Super in seeking and even though we started well our competition, we did not end it well. Also this time we did not get a result. Maybe next time. But I am happy because other persons from our team have done excellent work. This Wednesday Oiva (Amazeme Cosmic Time) and Leila passed Behaviour Test and got right to participate in working trials. Congratulations to Leila and Oiva! Well done!

Today, Super's daughter, Rilla (Amazeme Fierce Whisper), competed for the first time in obedience and got right away the first prize with Prize of Honour. They got 194 points out of 200. They also won their class. Huge congratulations to Hanni and Rilla! You are a fantastic couple!

We have also received two more health esults of F-litter. Freya's and Myy's official results are following: hips A/A, elbows 0/0, and shoulders OCD free. Also Myy's back was x-rayed and was ok. Her knees were 0/0. Congratulations to Nina, Raine and Henna for your healthy girls!

Also in the shows, our team got some very nice results. Oiva was Best of Dogs in international dog show in Joensuu and received his fourth CACIB last Saturday. His sister, Raina, was fourth best of bitches and received her fifth res-CAC. She is completely out of coat so this was a very nice result. Super won her class in both days and received QC but did not get a placement in Best of Bitches competition. Congratulations to Leila for Oiva's CACIB and to Kaija for Raina's res-CAC!

What a week full of action! This week we have competed twice in obedience with Kiia. This time she did really nice job but unfortunately also a couple of mistakes. In both competitions we received 246 points out of 320 which means 2nd prize. Only if we had 10 more points, it would have been 1st prize... Anyway, I am so proud of my little girl. Her son, Oiva, instead did excellent job and received his second first prize with 180 points out of 200. But this is not all. Super's daughter, Lova, competed for the first time in obedience last Tuesday and got right away first prize with 182,5 points out of 200. They both received also a Prize of Honour. Huge congratulations to Leila and Jonna for excellent results in obedience! I am so proud of you!

We have also received some very nice health results of F-litter. Hoppu's official results are following: hips A/A, elbows 0/0, knees 0/0, and shoulders OCD free. Also Myy, and Freya have been examined and all looks nice but we have to be patient and wait for official results. They both had OCD free shoulders.

Also in the shows, our team got some very nice results. Rilla received 'Excellent' and was the fourth in her class yesterday in international dog show in Pori. Today, instead, Theba was Best of Breed and received one more CACIB. Congratulations to Sara and Theba!

We have some very nice news but also some sad news. Let's start with the sad news. Emmi (Amazeme Candid Smile) and her brother, Kelpo (Amazeme Clean Run) participated in Finnish Character Test for dogs and they did very nice job but under huge stress they both were unable to handle the shots at the end of the test. This means that neither of them did not pass the test. However, the results will not change the fact that they both are very nice dogs full of willing to work and sweetest temperament.

Then the good news. On Saturday Raina participated in an international dog show in Oulu where she was 2nd best of bitches and received a res-CAC and a res-CACIB. This was her fourth res-CAC. On Sunday she got 'Excellent' and was the second in her class. Tikki (Amazeme Millennium Story), instead, was the second best of dogs and received his second CACIB in Finland. From our youngsters, Myy (Amazeme French Revolution) was seen in Hyvinkää where she got 'Excellent' and was the second in her class and received 'QC' as well. Congratulations to all of you and thank you for being so active!

Last night I received excellent news from Vimpeli where Raina and Kaija competed for the third time in obedience. Also this time they got the first result with great points. They received 194 points out of 200 and got a prize of honour. They also won their class. As this was their third 1st prize in beginner's class, they also obtained TK1 -title. Huge congratulations to Kaija and Raina!

Again we had a very busy but pleasant weekend. Yesterday five dogs from our team participated in national dog show in Mikkeli. Lara (Amazeme Good Story) did the best job and was the second in Best of Bitches competition. She also received her third res-CAC. Super won her class with excellent and QC. Raina received 'Excellent' and was the fourth in her class. Our boys, Oiva and Tikki, got both 'Very good'. Yesterday Ronja competed for the first time in Winner's class in obedience and got right away an excellent 2nd prize with 241 points out of 320. Congratulations to Tuija for this excellent result after a break of almost a year and half! Congratulations also to Jenni for Lara's res-CAC.

Today Super participated again in a small show here in Laukaa. This time she was 2nd best of bitches. Her granny, Tuisku (Pikkupaimenen Front Page News), 12 old lady, was BOB. Congratulations to Sari for Tuisku's great day in Laukaa. Also Raina and Myy were seen in a show ring but in Karjaa. Again Raina got excellent and wast the fourth in her class. Myy, instead, won junior class with excellent and QC. Congratulations to Henna for Myy's first QC!

What a week, I have to say. This week has been full of action. Wednesday Raina competed for the first time in obedience and got right away 1st prize. They got 170 points out of 200. The very next day they competed again in Pieksämäki and got again 1st prize with 174 points. Also Ekku competed in the same competition and they also got 1 st prize. Oiva and Leila got this time 3rd prize. Also Ekku's and Super's sister, Lara was seen in the competition but in open class. They did excellent job and got 2nd prize. Congratulations to all of you for very nice results in obedience!

But that was not all. Yesterday I traveled with Raina to Sotkamo where there was a dog show. Raina won her class with excellent and got 'Qualified for certificate'. In best of bitches competition she was the second best of bitches but as the first one was already a champion, she received her first CAC. It was about time as she has lost CAC too many time. :)

We also got very nice news from Tampere where Myy has a clean eye test. Congratulations to Henna for Myy's beautiful and healthy eyes! Biggest congratulations to Kaija for Raina's first but not last CAC!

Yesterday we came back from Riga, Latvia where we participated in two international dog show. On Sunday the show qualified winning dogs for Crufst 2014. Saturday Oiva was BOB and received his second Latvian CAC and CACIB. Her grandmother, Nancy was Best of Bitches, received a Latvian CAC and CACIB.

Nancy was the third best of bitches but her daughter, Super, won the bitches and was Best of Breed. She is now qualified for Crufts 2014. Super also received a Latvian CAC and CACIB.

Yesterday Freya participated in an unofficial puppy show and Best Puppy. Congratulations for such a nice kick off of Freya to Nina and Raine!

Kiia has started her heat and is going to be mated next week. Keep your fingers crossed so that everything will go smoothly!

A week ago we competed with Kiia for the second time in the highest class of obedience and we did not so excellent work. She was trying hard but it was not enough this time and we did not receive any result. Even though we were not so good, Amazeme dogs have been doing great job. Yesterday Muusa (Amazeme Criminal Intentions) competed for the third time in Beginner's class and they received their third first prize. This means that Muusa is now TK1 Muusa. Congratulations to Heidi and Muusa for excellent results!

But that was not all. Today Theba and Sara competed in obediece and received the first prize. Well done, Sara and Theba! Congratulations!

Yesterday four daughters of Super participated in an unofficial puppy show in Tampere. Our sweet red girl, Lova was the fourth and my co-owned girl, Rilla was the third. The second best was our gorgeous Nova and Best Puppy was our dear revolutional Myy. She won her sisters with her great moves. They also presented breeder's class and received the prize of honour. The judge gave such a nice judging to all of them. I could not be happier. The judge was Maret Kärdi who is considered as a very experienced judge of our breed.

Today only Nova and Myy were seen in the ring. Again Myy was Best Puppy and Nova was the second best of bitches. The judge was today Pirjo Aaltonen from Finland. Congratulations to Henna for Myy's double-BOB!

Yesterday Rytmi and Oiva were in a group show in Turku. Both of them received excellent with qualified for CAC. Rytmi won her class but did not get a placement in BB ring. Oiva instead was the fourth best dog. Congratulations to Salli, Sara and Leila!

Last Friday I received the last dna result from Optigen. Both of my co-owned girls, Emmi and Raina, from C litter are carriers. It seems that CEA cannot resist double x chromosomes. :)

Last Thursday Heidi and Muusa passed Behavior Test and got right to compete in working trials. Muusa is officially now BH Muusa. Congratulations to Heidi and Muusa for excellent work!

I competed for the first time in the highest class of obedience with Kiia last Saturday. She did very nice job but this time we did not get a result. Maybe later this autumn...

Last Sunday Oiva was in Finnish Character Test. He had very strong reactions but did not loose his capacity to funtion. Unfortunately the judges thought that he got too nervous and therefore he did not pass the test. You can see the video in three parts from these links: part 1, part 2 and part 3. Now Oiva will concentrate in obedience and tracking and hopefully we will see him in competition already this autumn.

First of all I want to congratulate Heidi and Muusa for the first prize they obtained in their first competition in obedience. They got 181 points out of 200 and prize of honour. You are a talent couple! Well done!

Today Kiia competed with Hoppu's owner in agility and they did excellent job. From the first run they got disqualified, from the second 15 points and from the last one 5. Thank you Milma for competing with Kiia! It was so relaxing to be just in audience... :)

Last but not least. Oiva has been dna tested clear for CEA. This means that possible Ruska's and Oiva's puppies would be CEA clear by parentage.

Today is my dearest Nancy's ninth birthday. I feel so lucky to own such a beautiful dog. Congratulations to my "once in a lifetime" dog! I wish we still had many many years together!

Last Satuday Ronja and Tuija did their first clear run in the first class in agility. Well done, girls and congratulations for the first clear run! In the evening I competed with Kiia in two runs. She did excellent work - better than her owner. We got 15 points from both runs. On Sunday we did not so well and got disqualified in both runs. Theba and Vellu instead did one more clear run and received their first CAC to become Agility Champion. Huge congratulations to Sara, Vellu and Theba!

We had a very nice weekend but something not so nice happened as well. Muusa was in Finnish Character Test which was too much for this young lady. She did not pass it but the girl is tough doing just fine and their life goes on...

I have had a very busy week. This Thursday we went to Lahti for tracking test with Super and Kiia. Kiia was only for keeping company and she was not so happy about her role. Super did great job and received 260 points out of 300. This means 2nd prize and JK1 title. Now she can apply for C.I.B as well. We will continue with tracking trials next year.

This morning I went to Lapua to see Raina's Finnish Character Test for Dogs and also she did excellent job passing the test with flying colours. She got the following results:

Super's sister Lara won her class with excellent and received 'Qualified for CAC'. Their sister, Ronja won Champion class with 'Excellent' but that was not all. Ronja was Best of Breed and received her second CACIB. Her mum, Nancy won Veteran Class and was Best of Veterans and Second Best of Bitches. This time in big rings we did not receive more success. Congratulations to Tuija for Ronja's successful day in Mikkeli and many thanks to all of you who made our day so great!

Great news from Finnish Kennel Association again. Eetu from M litter has A/A hips and 0/0 elbows. Congratulations to Silja for a healthy boy!

This weekend we had herding training with 12 dogs from three different litters. The most of the dogs were doing very nice job even if this was their first time on sheep. A couple of them showed a great interest but were even too keen on them. They need to practice some self control. We have great time all together and enjoyed a lot. It was so wonderful to see how they still have that look... Many thanks to all of you for this excellent experience!

Last but not least. The sire of G-litter, Jarre, (Pikkupaimenen Golden Arrow) became today Finnish Agility Champion. Congratulations to Minna and kisses to your wonderful boy! Super and her sisters and brother are so proud of you both!

We have had a very busy week. On Thursday we competed in tracking with Kiia for the first time and she did better than excellent job. She found all six sticks and one object in so called "object searching square". This means that she received 196 points out of 200 from tracking part. In obedience part she worked very well and received 89 points out of 100. This means that she gained first prize and won her class. She can use now JK1 title in front of ther name and can apply for C.I.B title.

On Saturday this time we competed in tracking with Super. She also did excellent job in tracking and found five sticks out of 6. She also found one object in a quite challenging object searching square but unfortunately in obedience part the obstacles were too much for her and could not do them. Therefore she received only 64 points out of 100 which means 6 points were missing to obtain JK1 and C.I.B titles. We need to practice more the obstacles to be ready for our next tracking test in August.

This week we also received again excellent news from Finnish Kennel Association. Fido from M-litter has A/A hips and 0/0 elbows. Congratulations to Jasmi and Pasi for excellent health results of your boy!

I have to apologize but I have been so busy with puppies and all these competitions that I have totally forgotten to update the result of Ronja's eye test. Ronja had an eye test together with the puppies a week ago. She also had a gonioskopy which was clear. Her eyes had no hereditary diseases however there was one cholesterole crystal in the right eye. This means that we can go on with our future plans.

Today I received two very nice photos of Raina and Oiva from speciality show. Thank you, Judit, for these very nice photos!

Our young Rytmi received this time only very good. Kiia was BB1 and received Latvian CAC and CACIB. She also became Latvian Champion. Her son Oiva beat her and was BOB. Sunday Oiva won his class but did not get any placement in BD-ring. Rytmi, instead, won her class and received J-CAC. In the best bitch ring she was the second whereas Kiia was BB1 and BOB. Kiia also received her fourth CACIB which means that she can apply for International Show Champion (C.I.E) title. Congratulations to Salli and Leila for the successful weekend of your beautiful dogs!

Yesterday we competed with Kiia in the third class of obedience for the first time and gained the first prize. She was doing really nice job during the whole competition. Now we will aim at the fourth class. Maybe we will compete there next autumn. I am so proud of my girl!

We had a quite busy weekend. Saturday I competed in agility with Kiia and Nancy. After a break of 8 months Nancy did rather great job. With Kiia we succeeded to obtain a result from every run. Saturday two boys from M-litter were seen in dog shows. Eetu received very good with a very nice judging in Helsinki and Tikki was Best Of Dogs in Joensuu and received his first CAC. It was their second show. Oiva got "Very Good".

News of the year 2011

We had a very nice journey to Helsinki where we participated in two major dog shows in Finland: Helsinki Winner 2011 and Winner 2011. On Saturday Oiva was the second in his class (as he was also on Sunday) and received res-CAC being Fifth Best of Dogs. His sister, Raina got VG. Super was the second in her class. Instead, her sister Ronja won her class and was the fourth best of bitches.

On Sunday we saw our youngsters Eetu and Mökö in the ring for the first time. They both received VG. Their lovely sister, Rytmi, got Excellent as well as Raina did. Super did not impress the judge and got only G. However, we had a very nice day and I want to thank all of you for coming to Helsinki. It was so nice to see you!

We had again a very pleasant weekend. Saturday we participated with all my three girls and with one extra member in my team to International Dog Show in Jyväskylä. This time Kiia got the best placement among my girls being the second in her class and BB4.

But that was not all. Sunday Ronja (Amazeme Graceful Queen) competed in Open Class in obedience and gained 1st prize being the second in her class. They did excellent job gaining 177 points out of 200. Congratulations to this wonderful team!

We had an excellent weekend in Tartu, Estonia where we participated in two international dog shows. Almost naked Super suprised me and was Best of Breed on Saturday. She also received CAC and thus became Estonian Show Champion. In addition, she got her last CACIB to become C.I.E. Kiia was BB2. Sunday was Kiia's day, i.e. she was Best of Bitches and received CAC and CACIB. Like this also her became Estonian Show Champion. I could not have dreamt more. Also Oiva participated in both shows. The first day he got VG but when on Sunday he did better job in the ring and was BD3. I want to thank my friend, Jasmine, for showing Super. Thank you also for a very nice trip and company!

Today in International Dog Show in Seinäjoki Ronja received her last CAC to become Finnish Show Champion after passing Finnish Character Test for Dogs or a working trial. She was 4th Best of Bitches. Also Kiia's beautiful daughter Raina was seen in the ring but this time she got only Very Good with an excellent judging. Thank you for both Kaija and Tuija for taking the girls to the show and huge congratulations to Tuija for Ronja's last CAC!

Yesterday Theba and Vellu competed in the second class of agility and got their first clean run winning their class at the same time. Huge congratulations to this wonderful couple!

First of all I want to congratulate Heidi for Muusa's health results which were excellent for both hips and elbows. Five out of 7 Kiia's and Ryan's have been scored for hips and elbows and all of them have received A/A and 0/0. I am so happy about these news.

Today we competed with Super for the last time in Open class in Obedience. We gained the first prize and this one was our third one which means that we can no more compete in Open class. She was doing excellent work even if my behavior was really strange. I even gave her wrong commands. However, we managed to get enough points and I could be happier with this girl who did the job.

Yesterday was a terribly exciting day. Three of G litter's dogs participated in Finnish Character Test for dogs. All of them did excellent job and passed it with flying colours. At the same token Theba and Super became Finnish Show Champions. Congratulations to Vellu, Sara and Heidi! Special thanks to all of you for sharing that exciting experience with me!

Today we celebrated Nancy's 8th birthday by competing in agility. Nancy was doing great job and I was so proud of my old lady. This was just a great way to end her agility career. Kiia was doing good job as well. The first two courses did not go in the most perfect way but in the last course we got a clean run. When back home the girls enjoyed of their delicacies.

Today we received good news from Ristiina where Lara and Ekku competed for the first time in obedience. Lara gained 1st prize, prize of honour and won the class with 187 out of 200 points. This time Ekku received over 140 points but did excellent job getting 0 from the first move. Congratulations to both of you!

Last weekend we participated in two dog shows in Joensuu. The first one was an international dog show where Super was BOB and received her 6th CACIB. The second one was a national dog show where Oiva was BOS and received his 5th CAC. Congratulations to Leila! Well done! Super was BB2.

Now 3 out of Kiia's and Ryan's 7 babies has been scored for hips and elbows. All of them have A/A hips and 0/0 elbows. I am so happy to have such nice news. Hopefully the rest of them will get nice results as well.

Lately we have been extremely active. Saturday we participated in a national dog show in Pieksämäki where Super was Best of Breed. Sunday in Speciality Show we did not please so much the judge and Super received VG. Emmi got excellent in junior class but did not get a placement. Theba received Excellent and was 4th in Open Class receiving Qualified for Certificate as well. Ronja was his cup of tea and received VG as Super.

Oiva participated in another dog show in Joensuu and was Best of Opposite Sex receiving at the same time his 4th CAC. Congratulations to Sara and Leila for your dogs' success in show rings!

Last few days we have been extremely active. Last Thursday we competed in tracking but without success. Now we need some more time to practice before we get a second shot. Sunday we participated in a dog show in Lohja with Emmi, Oiva and Super. Oiva was the only male receiving Excellent but this time he did not get Qualified for Certificate. Emmi was the second in her class and received Qualified for Certificate. Super was Best of Bitches and at the same time Best of Breed. Emmi was the third best bitch and gained res-CAC. Congratulations to Mirka!

Theba competed today in Tuuri and was BOB. As she received her last CAC a week ago in Somero (being 2nd best bitch), she could not obtain CAC. Congratulations again to Sara, Vellu and the amazingly beautiful Theba! Also Ronja and Raina competed today receiving both a very nice judging. However, this time they could not beat Theba.

Oiva and Super participated today in a national dog show in Varkaus. At times it was raining heavily and our kids were more dirty than clean. However Oiva pleased the judge a lot and he won the dogs receiving his third CAC. Also Super did good job being the second best bitch and received her last (9th) CAC. Congratulations again to Leila and Oiva!

This weekend has been very exciting. It started last Friday with an obedience trial with Super where we gained our second first prize in Open Class. Saturday Oiva, Kaneli, Raina, Theba and Super participated in two different shows. Theba was Best of Breed in Helsinki gaining her second CAC. Oiva was the second best dog and received a res-CAC. Kaneli won her class and received Qualified for Certificate. Super was Third Best Bitch. Also Sunday was a wonderful day. Raina was third Best Bitch, Oiva was Best of Dogs and BOS and received his second CAC. Super was instead Best of Bitches and BOB and received her eighth CAC. Congratulations to all of you and many thanks for wonderful two days in the most perfect company!

We had an excellent Easter journey with Super, Kiia and Oiva.

Kiia was BB4 and Oiva was BD3 and received his first CAC. Best of Breed was Nancy's daughter, Lara (Amazeme Good Story) receiving her first CAC and CACIB.

Today I competed with Kiia in agility and from the second course we managed to get 0-result and the right to compete in 3rd class. Even if we had a long break of more than 5 weeks, she was doing great job. It was a pleasure to work with her.

I could not be happier. Theba and Vellu gained today their first 0-results in the first class of agility. Congratulations to Sara, Vellu and speedy Theba!

Super instead had success today in Tallinn, Estonia where she participated in International Dog Show being Best of Breed and winning the fourth position in Best in Group competition. Thank you, Jasmine, for taking my girl with you and congratulations for Neela's CAC!

Great news from Power Girls of Tampere. Tuija and Ronja competed today for the first time in obedience in Open Class gaining the first prize. Congratulations to Tuija and Ronja! I could not be more proud of you!

Yesterday I had a chance to meet Raina and very quickly Kaneli as well. It was so nice to see both beautiful girls. They are growing up very nicely. I added some new photos of Raina in her photo album.

We had an excellent weekend in Turku. Saturday I met Kiia's daughter Emmi and son Kelpo. They are already now so grown-up. I really enoyed seeing this kids. I must thank Mirka, Petri, Tiina and Jussi for this opportunity!

Sunday we competed in Internatiol Top Dog Show in Turku with Kiia and Super. Kiia's coat is still unfinished and she has taken weight a little bit too much. However she was the second in her class with Excellent and SA. Super was also the second in her class. She was also placed as fourth in Best of Bitches -class and received a res-CAC. Theba was the responsible for the best results of the day winning Super in their class and being 3rd best of Bitches receiving her first CAC. Congratulations to Sara and Vellu!

Today we had an ultrasound to check if Nancy is expecting puppies and we had very nice news. The approximate due date is in the beginning of February. Now we can publish our puppy blog which is going to be written only in Finnish but you can find there also some photos. If you are interested in this litter, please contact me and I will tell you more. I am looking for active families who are willing to cooperate with me. I hope that you are looking for a new family member with whom you are interested in working in obedience, agility and/or working fields. When contacting me, please, tell me something about yourself and your previous experience with dogs and their training.  

First of all I want to wish all of you Happy New Year! The year started in the most perfect way for Amazeme Border Collies, i.e. Theba (Amazeme Gentle Shadow) competed in agility for the first time with excellent results. From the first course they got 5 and were the second and from the second course they got 10 and were the fifth. Congratulations to Vellu, Sara and Theba for this excellent start in agility!

Tuesday morning I will take Nancy to an ultra sound check. I will update the news as soon as possible.

News of the year 2010

Yesterday Nancy was mated to Otto for the first time. We will go back there this evening.

This Monday Rane's eyes were checked and there were two fuzzy spots. Diagnosis was cataract: suspectous. Even though the risk is minimal, I decided to mate Nancy to another dog. You can read more about him from his own page.

Some great news to tell you from this weekend. Today and yesterday we competed in agility with Kiia. Yesterday we won the second competition with 0 result. Today we were not doing such great job but it was Super taking care of nice results. Super was today BOB in Norway winning Nordic Winner 2010 -title at the same time. She also received her first CACIb from abroad.

Nancy made me a "practical joke" and started her heat much ealier than predicted. As I cannot be sure from when she has been on heat, I have to take the first test next Thursday after which we will be much wiser with the issue.

Yesterday three of Amazeme girls participated in International Dog Show in Jyväskylä and all of them got excellent. Super was 2nd in Intermediate Class and Theba was just a step behind. Ronja won Open Class and was 5th best of bitches gaining res-CAC. Here you are some photos of the girls from today's running.

Today we had an excellent day. We participated in International Dog Show in Seinäjoki and Ronja was 4th of her class with Excellent. She competed in Open Class although she is only 17 months old. Super instead won her class and was 2nd best of bitches and gained her 4th CAC and res-CACIB which should be confirmed to her as CACIB. I had also chance to meet Raina. Thank you Tuija, Kaija and Janita for making my day so beautiful!

I have completely forgotten to mention that two weeks ago we were doing some herding with Super and Kiia and both of them seemed to have some herding instict. That was a nice experience. Maybe we will try again next year.

Yesterday Tuija and Ronja competed in obedience's beginner class and gained 1st results with flying colours. They got 180 points out of 200. I am so proud of you! Congratulations to Tuija and Ronja!

We had a very succesful weekend. Ronja participated in International Dog Show in Eckerö and was 3rd of Bitches and received a third CAC.

I competend with all my three girls in obedience. Super received 1st prize with flying colours. She got 198 points out of 200 and won her class. Kiia did a great job as well. She got her third 1st prize and gained TK2 which is kind of training award in open class. Nancy as well worked well but then we made a couple of mistakes and got 3rd prize. However, we had a very enjoyable day with all our friends.

Power Girls from Tampere did great results yesterday. Theba passed Behaviour Test and now is officially BH Theba. Ronja instead competed in obedience for the first time and gained a very good II prize despite of two little "working accidents". Congratulations to Sara and Tuija who have made excellent work with these girls!

We had a very exciting and busy weekend. I competed with my older girls in agility in both days without huge success but we had however lots of fun. The best results gave us Ronja who was Best of Opposite Sex in Tampere. She beated 20 bitches which is a great achievement for such a young lady. Congratulations to Tuija and Ronja!

As my birthday present I received a very nice letter from FCI in which they confirmed that Nancy is not both International Show Champion (C.I.E) and International Champion (C.I.B).

She did it again even if almost naked. Today we were in Kouvola with Super in a national dog show. She was Best of Breed and received her third CAC.

Last week we really had busy time. Thursday we visited a vet who tested C-litter´s eyes. Everything was just great. Also their granny´s eyes were tested clear. Friday we participated with Super in Savo Dog Show. She got Very Good because of her lost coat. The judge, however, liked her a lot and told us 'come back' next year. Sunday we competed in agility with Nancy. Not gaining lots of honour and glory but two results, anyway.

Last Saturday we had our Special Show for Border Collies. There were 99 dogs participating of which 44 dogs and 55 bitches. It was great to see so many beautiful dogs and their ultra nice owners! Our little girls, Theba and Super, were presented in a quite naked condition. Theba got VG and Super Excellent being the second in her class. Their dad, Jarre, was the first of Champion Class and the second best male. The day was the most glorious to Jarre´s sister, Ruska (Pikkupaimenen Golden News), who was Best of Show. COngratulations to Katja and Sari! Here you are some photos of Theba and Super. Saara Suuronen has taken these photos. Thank you, Saara, for these beautiful photos!

We finally got the official results of Theba´s hip and elbows score. She also continues the same line with her sisters and brother. She has A/A and 0/0. Congratulations to Sara and Vellu for a healthy dog!

Today we got very good news from Sweden where G-litter´s sir, Jarre, was BOB. He gained his last CACIB needed for C.I.E. BOS was one the litter´s relative, Tazma (Pp The Next Page). Congratulations to Minna and Sari!

So boring... :) We have again great news to tell you about G-litter´s health results. Our only boy, Ekku has A/A as his hip score and 0/0 as elbows. Congratulations to Heidi and her family for healthy dog!

We have had an excellent week. First with Super we gained the right to compete in working trials by passing BH test. Then today in Intenational Dog Show in Pori she was Best Of Breed gaining her second CAC. Because she is still junior, she could not have CACIB. I am tough very happy of her success and I want to thank my dear friend for taking my little girl with her and presenting her in the ring. I wanted to stay at home with puppies so I could not be there testifying Super's glory day. 

Great news to tell you again. Today we passed Finnish Behaviour Test with Super with flying colours. She worked really nicely and I could be more proud of her. So she earned her first title. Now she is officially BH Super.

Today we got some new health results of G-litter. Super's hip score is FCI-A and elbows 0/0. Her back was x-rayed too and was just perfect. I am so happy to have a healty girl. :)

The first health results of G-litter have just arrived. Ronja's hip score is FCI-A, elbows and knees both of them 0/0. Her back was x-rayed too and was just perfect. Congratulation to Tuija for having a healthy dog! 

Last weekend could not go better. Super was Best of Opposite Sex in Joensuu last Saturday gaining her first CAC. Sunday she was 4th Best Bitch. The girl was behaving well and I could not have been happier to own a dog like her.

Again great news! Today in International Dog Show in Hamina  Lara was 2nd of Junior Bitches with Excellent and 2nd of Best Bitches obtaining her second res-CAC. Congratulations to Jenni and Lara!

Today we had an ultrasound to check if Kiia is expecting puppies and we had a very positive answer. The approximate due date is at the turn of week 25. Now we can publish our puppy blog which is going to be written only in Finnish but you can find there also some photos. If you are interested in this litter, please contact me and I will tell you more. I am looking for active families who are willing to cooperate with me. I hope that you are looking for a new family member with whom you are interested in working in obedience, agility and/or working fields. When contacting me, please, tell me something about yourself and your previous experience with dogs and their training.  

Jarre's and Nancy's puppies are today 1 year. Happy birthday to you my dearest! Yesterday we had six Border Collies in our house. Thank you so much for a very nice day together, Sara, Tuija and Meeri! Meeri took many great photos of the girls. You can see some of them below. I will add some more to our photo album later next week. Thank you so much, Meeri, for the photos.

For those who are interested in Ryan's and Kiia's litter, I will take her to the ultra sound check next Wednesday. I will update our web site as soon as possible.

Yesterday we got again great news from Nancy's very first daughter, Piitu and Meeri. They got their 3rd first result in obedience and gained Finnish Obedience Champion title at age of 2 years and 9 months. Huge congratulations to Piitu and Meeri! You are so goooooood!!!

Yesterday we came back home from Denmark where we met Ryan and his wonderful owners, Dina and Morten. Kiia was mated with Ryan last time this Tuesday. Hopefully we will get puppies in the end of June. Thank you Dina and Morten for giving us Ryan and being so kind and helpful!

Last Saturday Nancy and three of her daughters competed in two different shows with very nice results. Ronja got Very Good in Sysmä and Super got Excellent and was 2nd of her class. Mum was 3rd Best Bitch in Vaasa but the most wonderful news gave us Piitu who was Best of Breed and got her second CAC and her first CACIB and beated her mum! And this was just her 7th show. There is something to be proud of! Huge congratulations to Piitu, Meeri and Susanna! 

The signs are never wrong. Yesterday Kiia started her heat. This means that the mating should take place on 17th and 19th April if the heat progressed in a normal way. I will make her an ultrasound check four weeks after the mating. If she is pregnant, we will publish our blog.

Yesterday in Lappeenranta Ronja got Excellent and was 2nd in her class. The little girl from Ristiina, Lara, charmed the judge (Rui Oliveira, Portugal)  and was 2nd Best Bitch with res-CAC. Congratulations Jenni and Tuija! 

Kiia still keeps us in tension and has not yet started her heat but the signs are very promising. 

We had a wonderful trip to Vilnius, Lithuania where we participated to Vilnius Winner 2010 and Vilnius Cup 2010 shows. Nancy was Best Of Breed in both days and she gained her final CACIB to become C.I.B and C.I.E as well. At the same time she gained LT CH and LT W-10 titles! Not bad at all :-)

Kiia has not yet started her season but maybe Nancy's heat will speed her a little bit. I will announce her season here when it starts. Hopefully it will be soon...

Today we had a successful trip to Tuusniemi where. Ronja was Best of Breed and gained her first CAC. In the big ring she was chosen among first eight dogs but then could not get further. Still not a bad performance from a girl who got nine months last Tuesday. Congratulations to Tuija!

Last Sunday Super was the second best bitch puppy (out of 5 dogs) receiving Price of Honour! Congratulations to Janika! Today Nancy's and Jarre's puppies are 9 monhts old and can compete in official dog shows and I am looking forward to it!

What a great start for the new year! Ronja was Best Puppy today in Lahti. She was doing good job showing her best to the judge. Huge congratulations to Tuija for Ronja`s first Price of Honour! I am so proud of you two. 

First of all, Happy New Year to all of you! I wish this year will bring you lots of happiness and beautiful moments! To sum up last year I can mention some high lights. In March Nancy gained Finnish Obedience Champion title and with Kiia we had our first competition in agility and we got our first 0 result from our very first course. Few months later, in October, Kiia got right to compete in the second class of agility in which she got the first 0 result in December. In obedience, we managed to get a first prize in the second class in October. She also passed behavior test in October gaining BH title and the right to compete in working trials at the same token. In shows, Nancy was once BOB and received her second CACIB and Kiia gained Finnish Show Champion title in October when passing Finnish Character Test. The last show result required for the title she got in August being twice BOB.

This year we are going to be quite active especially in agility until Kiia's season. Nancy will participate to some shows as well. In obedience, I believe that we do not get ready before next autumn. We are also looking forward to seeing Nancy's and Jarre's babies entring in show rings and obedience/agility competitions. In addition, we hope to get beautiful puppies also this year. These are our plans... Only time will tell if they come true or not.

News of the year 2009

Yesterday was a fantastic day. We could see lots of beautiful border collies and meet their owners in the special dog show for Border Collies, above all I could see three of G-litter's girls. Theba was the second best of baby puppies (age 5 to 7 months), Super  was the third and Ronja the fourth. All of them got a prize of honour. They were doing a great job and behaving amagingly well. Thank you so much Sara, Janika and Tuija for coming to the show. Kiia was the third best of champions. Here's one photo of hers at the show ring.

Last Saturday G-litter's sir, Jarre, was BOS in Tarto and gained Estonian Champion title. Her sister, Ruska (Pp Golden News) was BOB and became Estonian Champion as well. Huge congratulations! 

Yesterday our wonderful Ronja paid us a visit. We went out for a walk together and took some nice photos. Thank you so much, Tuija, for passing by! It was really nice to see both of you! The first Amazeme has made her first debut in Finnish broadcasting media: Theba was filmed in Poliisi-TV when seaching a missing person in Tampere. You are such brave girls!

Today I took some photos of Nancy, who tries hard to get a better coat. She looks already much better but has still some way tio go...

Again we had rather a busy weekend. Satuday we had over 20 visitors for the baptism of our younger son, Tuomas. Sunday I competed in obedience with both of my girls. The competition was at the same time Championship of our district in the fourth class (where Nancy competed) and between 6 teams of 5 different clubs. Our team won again (this was the third time) gold. Kiia was doing again a great job. She got the first prize and was the second of her class out of 15 dogs although we had some distractions at the beginning. Two dogs from another competition ring ran away and started to play in our ring when our dogs were doing their "staying in one place". Those dogs attacked my precious Kiia jumping over her and showing their teeth to her. She was bravely staying in her place, though showing her teeth as well. At the second try, two dogs in our groups started to have some fun by playing and running around together. Again, Kiia was keeping her place. At the third try we managed to finish properly the job. I was so proud of her. Unfortunately things did not go so well with Nancy, partly lack of orientation (I had to run from Kiia's ring directly to Nancy's ring without any break) and lack of training, as well. It's a pity to end her career of obedience in this way but maybe the three zeroes she got are some kind of sign for agility in the future :-)

We had a very exciting weekend. Saturday Kiia had the Finnish Character Test for Dogs and passed it without any difficulties gaining Finnish Champion title at the same time. I am so proud of my girl. Sunday we drove to Mikkeli for agility competitions. We had three courses to run and failed in each of them. She was working very nicely but as we know in agility one second of distraction can cost you much. Fortunately we could meet Ekku and Lara so we did not drive to Mikkeli all in vain. We took some photos of these two. I have added some of them to our photo album. 

Today I managed to have some time to take some photos of my girls. Nancy is renewing her coat very fast but still lacking it totally in the rear. She gives a quite interesting impression. I'm sorry for the quality of the photos but it's not evident to succeed when shooting alone. I'm lucky to own such obedient and nicely smiling girls. :-)

Kiia, instead, has a beautiful coat at athe moment. This photo of hers is not excellent but good enough to be published. Can't have it all... 

Yesterday Piitu participated in a dog show in T ampere and was 4th Best of Bitches and received her second res-CAC. Congratulations Piitu and Meeri!  Last Sunday we got visitors from Rauma: Super came to see her mum and step-sister with Liinu. We also went out together with daddy and her cousin, Jippo. We had great time, especially the kids who were playing with at the bottom of every ditch. Here is one photos of all of us.

Finally we are again all together. Kiia returned home after one month with a new coat. Meanwhile when she was absent, we got an addition to the family on Thursday 20 th August. Here is one photo of the next generation's lover of agility. We did agility the day before he was born... :-)

I'm also planning to publish a photo serie of Nancy renewing her coat. Now she is totally naked... And for comparison a couple of photos of my girls together.

And finally my dear Nancy...

By the way, I almost forgot, for those who plan to make a new website, Anthem Solutions offers you websites of high quality with reasonable price. 

This weekend has been exceptionally successful for Nancy's and Cooper's litter. Yesterday Blacky was BOS and gained his sixth and last Finnish certificate. Congratulations! Kiia could not participate in the show because she had a little accident and could not run. Today Piitu instead competed in the highest class of obedience and won her second first prize. One more like these and she will be Obedience Champion like her mum. Huge congratulations to Meeri and Piitu!

This Monday the puppies were checked by a vet and everything was ok. The eyes were tested clear for CEA as well. The same for Kiia. In addition, the vet made her a gonioskopy and did not find any anormalies. The first three of our wonderful kids have already left home and started a "new life" in their new homes. Everything has gone just great. Sunday we competed in obedience with Kiia and got a second prize. At the beginning she did not know what we were doing there but after two first moves she started to work rather nicely. Our next try will be in two weeks.

Sorry for have been so lazy (or surprisinlgy just too busy). Last week we got baptisme (read micro chips). Hopefully we got their names right. Yesterday we took some new photos. The sun was so bright that the most of the photos were too bright but I cannot blame the sun... It's so nice to have some of that now. Thank Birgitta for your help! The new photos can be seen at the puppies' own page. Below you can see some of them. My dear colleague, Kati, took very nice photos last Wednesday. I put them to our photo album. Thank you, Kati, for these very nice photos! 

Wednesday  we got a Volhard's puppy aptitude test. To learn more about the test, click here. A brief summary was orally given to me but unfortunately the final results I have not got yet. When I will receive them I will update them below. 

Mostly 1’s Mauno (2/9), Enrico (3/10), Kiia (4/13), Herne (3/9)

Strong desire to be pack leader and is not shy about bucking for a promotion
Has a predisposition to be aggressive to people and other dogs and will bite
Should only be placed into a very experienced home where the dog will be trained and worked on a regular basis

Mostly 2’s Mauno (2/9), Herne (3/9), Pii (5/10), Brown (4/13)
   
Also has leadership aspirations

Has lots of self-confidence
Should not be placed into an inexperienced home 
Too unruly to be good with children and elderly people, or other animals 
Needs strict schedule, loads of exercise and lots of training
Has the potential to be a great show dog with someone who understands dog behavior 

Mostly 3’s Mauno (2/9), Enrico (3/10)

Can be a high-energy dog and may need lots of exercise
Good with people and other animals
Can be a bit of a handful to live with 
Needs training, does very well at it and learns quickly 
Great dog for second time owner.

Mostly 4’s     -

The kind of dog that makes the perfect pet
Best choice for the first time owner.  
Rarely will buck for a promotion in the family 
Easy to train, and rather quiet. 
Good with elderly people, children, although may need protection from the children

Mostly 5’s     -

Fearful, shy and needs special handling
Will run away at the slightest stress in its life 
Strange people, strange places, different floor or ground surfaces may upset it 
Often afraid of loud noises and terrified of thunder storms. When you greet it upon your return, may submissively urinate.  Needs a very special home where the environment doesn’t change too much and where there are no children 
Best for a quiet, elderly couple 
If cornered and cannot get away, has a tendency to bite

Mostly 6’s Mauno (2/9)

So independent that he doesn’t need you or other people 
Doesn’t care if he is trained or not - he is his own person  Unlikely to bond to you, since he doesn’t need you. 

Hip hip hurray! Yesterday our puppies' sir, Pikkupaimenen Golden Arrow "Jarre",  gained the first prize twice with a 0-result and got right to compete in III class of agility. Huge congratulations! 

Our house gets wilder day after day. We have been spending lots of time outside and yesterday the puppies got their second worm threatment. They still sleep well during the night until 6 o'clock when they want to have a cup of milk. :-) After that they sleep until 8 o'clock. Aren't they well behaving children? :-) The days go eating, playing, making pee around the house and now and then having a nap. Next week they are going to have a chip and the official names as well. You can go and have a look at their names and the receint photos at their own page which is still under construction but will be filled completed later.

Our sweet puppies are today 4 weeks old and eat three times a day. We have been outside several times and they seem to enjoy it a lot. Our neighbours' children have been playing with the pups who just love biting and attacking them :-) Yesterday we managed to take some photos of sleepy pups. Thank you for your help, Jassu, and huge congratulation for Finnish Champion title of Silja (Golden Mist Still In Love) and for the second place in the group today in Mikkeli!

Our sweet puppies have grown very well and have made lots of progress. We can already see them playing and teasing each other. This Friday we started the first worm threatment. Last few days the pups have been tasting some food as well and they seems to enjoy it a lot. Today we spent a couple of minutes outside (to take some photos). Here you can see some nice photos but if you wish to see some more, please, visit our photo album.

Another week has gone and all seems to be just great with the puppies. They are getting weight very nicely. Today even the smallest one passed the magical line of 1 kg. This Wednesday almost all of them got their eyes open. Two exceptions, Herne and Brown, opened the eyes very next day. Today for the first time I took Nancy out for a longer walk and she seemed to enjoy it a lot although wanted to hurry up in the end of our walking in the forest. This time I managed to add some new photos to our album. Go and have a look at them.

The first week has gone very quickly. There is not much action in the box. All the puppies do is to eat and to sleep. All of them have doubled their weight in a week, even the smallest one, Pii, who seems to be very determined. Noses are getting black. We can hardly wait to see which one of them opens his/her eyes first. Here you can see a picture of each of them. This time I could not add any new ones to our photo album because the major part of the photos were too strongely exposed.

May I introduce you Nancy's and Jarre's babies? We call them now Spice Girls, but the only boy has the honour to be called Enrico. All them are doing just fine, getting every day more grams. They all have already found a nice home. I want to thank all of you who have been interested in this litter. It has been a honour to have so much interest on these puppies.

Then one nice photo of all puppies together. Some more photos can be found in our  photo album.

I put there some new photos of Kiia doing agility with my daughter for the first time. They seemed to have great fun together.

Yesterday we brought in the whelping crate and Nancy already nosed it around. She was even growling to Kiia when the Kid tried to step in. We have been taking her temperature since Saturday evening and she seems to still have "Saturday night fever". I can feel movements of some puppies and that is really nice. In general, she is more calm but now and then (every day) she  gets those attacks of madness which make her to run and play with Kiia and of course, to bring me sticks to be thrown. What a silly girl!

We took again some photos of our girls doing some agility in our back yard. We added them into our  photo album which should work properly now. Here are some nice pictures of Nancy with her big belly doing weave poles.

In order to not to let the wonderful offspring to be overshadowed by her mum here is one photo of Kiia (finally still).

I want to thank also Salme Mujunen for resolving some of our basic problems and showing us how to work in a right mood. I would like to thank also Hanna Helminen for sharing with us your training philosophy! It helped us a lot. Not forgetting the great help and support of Jaana, Meeri and Birgitta! Thank you for all of you! It's great to have such friends like you.

This year has started in a perfect way. Today we achieved our second first prize in the 4th class of obedience. One more like that and she will be Obedience Champion! I am so proud of my little girl who worked very nicely today.

News of the year 2008

Last week I received an email from OptiGen in which they told me that Nancy is CL clear/normal. This means that Nancy's and Cooper's all litter is also CL clear/normal by parentage. 

Today happened something that has never happened before. I participated with Nancy to an unofficial agility competition and we managed to get a result from both courses. In the first course Nancy was even the quickest dog.  Does it mean that I was the quickest person? I might doubt. This helped me to get more confidence to participate in official agility competition this summer.

Kiia is finally having her season. She wants more to be caressed and might be a little bit more or jsut  tired but otherwise her behavior is quite normal.

During Nancy's season we have been doing a lot of track training. She is progressing well into finding objects. Now she knows look after an object even if she hasn't seen me leaving anything behind.  She has also learnt to run forward at least 10 meters. With Kiia I have done tracking once or twice a week. Sometimes she tries to advance too fast but keeps still her way of working calm. Speaking of being calm, we passed the test for agility course and got a place. Aren't we good? Soon we are going to see what she thinks about agility...

On Sunday evening, my friend Hanna took some photos of Kiia with her BOB trophies. I try to put rest of the photos to my gallery as soon as possible. 

As Nancy is having her season now, we had to cancel our obedience trial in Kangasniemi and agility competition of 11th May in Jyväskylä. That's a  little be annoying but now we have more time to do some tracking. Nancy works as she has always worked - not so precisely but enough carefully. Kiia instead gave me a big surprise by tracking calmly and precisely. I hope she will keep on working like that.
