Our Rufi aka Rufus Under my Spell had his debut the 10.2. in Castrop-Rauxel , Hans vd Berg, NL judging – and it was a pleasure for me to see how happy Rufi, who was used only to a relaxed life at the Countryside enjoyed the show despite crowds of people and other dogs of all and he had great fun !

His judgereport showed his highlights :

He was Excellent 2 with his first CC, beaten only by a 5 months older dog who already won a lot! So we were quite glad about the fact Rufi did show perfect and enjoyed the show- bizz –being far the youngest Irish Terrier at the show and so we look forward to the future shows in 2007!

Special

Finnish & Nordic Winner Show 2005

Since quite long time it was my wish to travel once in the middle of winter to the Northern Countries to catch the spezial atmosphere of that part of the year, with really cold winters we never had since many years.

So I was delighted to receive an invitation earlier this year to visit my friend Eeva in Helsinki, when hard times overhere are over. Plus the highlights of meeting my finnish exports of the past 8 years + their offspring and also watching the 2 Top Shows in Finland, with 15 000 dogs on 2 days – this was very attractive!

Danke ! Eeva, for your hospitality!

( out of Ch R Fire on Ice)

First we had a nice family meeting with traditional *Glögg* ( = punch, also alcohol-free available for me ;-) ) and one after the other Lurvendhalis youngster from some litters of Ch R Fire on Ice”Pirre” plus Oldies of 12 / 13 years came in, it was quite a bunch of Redheads together, all in peace and we really enjoyed it. Some played outside in the cold and then inside...I was especially glad to see how much Pirre did give her type and temperament to her offspring with 3 different studdogs.

( it was impossible to catch all doggies on 1 picture…)

On saturday, 17.12. the Finnish Winnershow was held, perfect organized as drive –in show, thanks to a ban of smoking the air was really excellent, not at all what we are urged to breathe in the Dortmund halls...and soon after the judging of each breed the judge reports were ready and handed over, so no delay of time was there – also quite positive contrast to what we often see at home, waiting hours and hours. So one could enjoy the judging much better , the dogs are not bored by hours of waiting, and can come in just in time, especailly good for bitches, also one has a lot of time for other activities on the days of the show left.

BOB&BOS Fardarrigh Vernal Equinox & Volcanic

Saturday 14 mainly finnish bred Irish Terriers were shown and the judge Gertrud Hagström gave BOB&BOS to littermates bred, owned/co-owned and handled by Jetta Tschokkinen.

There were nice contacts and discussions with breeders from the Baltic countries like Estonia and also Russia, and it showed that passion and dedication to the breed is the same as everywhere in the Irish Terrier world.

Sunday the young irish judge Ross Delmar, a son of the wellknown judges Cathy & Sean Delmar( who judged 2003 WW Dortmund) had a nice entry of 21 Irish Terriers, many different dogs to the day before, so it was really interesting to see both shows and it was not boring at all.

Hannu Rytkönen with Ch Jackpot True Tarzan

A special pleasure for me was to meet Ch Jackpot True Tarzan( top winning Irish Terrier in Finnland 01) the successful son of Ch R Magic Carlsson, (99 top winning IT in Finland) who was showing at 5 years of age full of himself, always on his toes and perfectly handled by his breeder Hannu.

If exports not only prove their own quality at the shows , but also in their get , this is really something to be very glad about and so I was.

A very nice young bitch from Sweden was BOB and same male as the day before won the male classes.

Congratulation to their owners and breeders!

BOB MM Noblesse Oblige & BOS Fardarrigh Volcanic

Later we were invited by the owners of my latest finnish export, R Stellar Light (Byron x Lotti) “Ringa” and I was so glad to meet Ringa and her owners + Remu, Fardarrigh Ultra X-posure, her companion! Thanks also to Raija and Olavi for their hospitality and the nice DVD from the show!

R Stellar Light, “Ringa “, 1 year old

Much too soon the weeekend was over and a safe flight brought me back to reality and my terriers sniffed each cm of my clothes...., but some pate from bear and also Moose-soup and Hjorton-marmelade will give a special note to our culinary Christmas schedule 2005!

...and now the couch is ours again!!! Pirre and Neala

The special story about Max :

“Max” interrupted his pleasing daily routine as a perfect pet and hunting companion and was shown because the owners realized what quality terrier they have as house companion and agreed with me to show him only a few times and to do the breeding license with him, so he will be able to give his potential to his future get. So he was prepared and handled to perfection by the owner of his sire, Sonja Metschulat who did it close to perfection! Many many thanks, Sonja !

Now , Max will retire to his life before, and this hidden jewel was only sparkling like a Star one special day, and now leads his wonderful life again, and will meet only few selected girls once and then.

Yesterday a normal housepet, and now BOB in the stiff competion with many Champions and famous winners. Sometimes dreams come true...

! Maybe this litter will be repeated a last time begin 2006. It is a perfect match of both parents and produced my best Irish Terriers so far !

For me this is a special emotional moment, as Max resembles in so many points his great-grandmother Ch Pola Negri who left us at age 15 4 weeks ago. Now her legacy carries on...
