13.12.2008 Helsinki, Finnish Winner 2008 Int. championship show
Morrini Moving On, "Oiva" got an excellent in juniorclass, despite his total bikini look. He really enjoyed his day in the ring and that was the most important thing. Ch Toffedreams Scuff'n Puff "Wilson" was again so full of energy, though both handler & owner were still quite exhausted from the weekend before (one has to work as well between all the dogevents...) In the tough competition of the championclass with 15 entries Wilson was placed 2nd and that was also the placement in the best dog competition with res-Cacib. The apple of my eye Ch Toffedreams Craigellachie "Sonya" was entered to the second show for this year and propably wanted to show off to her sons: she moved like a dream in the ring and was thus awarded BOB Veteran.
Huge congratulations to Sussie with her lovely flats from Sweden who took both FINW-08 titles back to Sweden with her :)

7.12.2008 Stockholm, Sweden Int. championship show Hund 2008
Wilson was enjoying the weekend travelling... The owner was having a so called job to do but Wilson was flying in the ring! Being at the ringside with the shaking, cold hands and keeping the breeder online was almost too much to handle for the owner, the atmosphere was just so excited all the way... But the results were unbelievable; first best dog, then BOB and finally BIG 2! Thank you so much Viveca for handling Wilson all the way so professionally! Lena & Claes, for us here at home he has not been just a 'mammas pojke' but also 'fantastiska Wille Wilson'!
Thanks to the judges that thought so highly of "Wilson":

Wilson had a splendid day at this show, he won the championclass, was best dog and finally BOB. In the groupfinals he was as usual at his best, he just loves to run in a big ring. He surprised me again, totally, and won the group! In the BIS finals he was just soo utterly himself as he just wanted to roll over on his back to be patted by the judge, when she wanted to take a closer look at him. No placement despite this nice try... :-) Anyway the other (very well behaving) dogs in the BIS-final were absolutely fabulous and big congratulations to all of them!

23rd of March
International championship show, Lappeenranta
Wilson keeps on surprising me, he is so full of happiness and joy and when he moves he tends to keep on running as long as he just is allowed to :) At Lappeenranta International Dog show he won the champion class and finally he was awarded Best Dog, his 3rsd CACIB and BOB . When the group final began Wilson was still full of energy and desire to show himself to the best and I as the handler couldn't do more than just try to keep up with his pace! What a boy, what a day and what a moment when the group judge picked Wilson as the winner of the group! And those of you who know Wilson (and me..) also know that a decent picture to memorize that moment is too much to ask :) Thank you for the dozens of congratulations... I'm still trying to recover from this ;-)
Judges were: Mrs Elena Ruskovaara, FIN as the breed judge and Ms Lena Danker, FIN judged the group.
