We have lost one team member and welcomed another. In early January, we had to say goodbye to Nuuk, who reached the age of 18 years and 5 months. Easy-going, friendly and a very special boy in general, I consider Nuuk a benchmark in my breeding. His longevity and good health combined to his healthy conformation (anyone who saw him move can attest to that) and numerous breed-typical details are definitely something to strive for. My condolences go out to Nuuk's family. A day before we lost Nuuk, the team was joined by Pippurimuorin Merituuli aka Varpu, who moved to her partnership home in Pudasjärvi. Read more about Varpu on her personal page.
Poca has been eye tested, gonioscopied, and patella and cardiac tested, all clear.
There is no January without the traditional Spitz Specialty event held in the Siilinjärvi/Kuopio area. On Saturday the 25th, Poca underwent a thorough conformation examination, and on Sunday the 26th three Cantavia dogs were shown under breeder judges Esa Ruotsalainen (dogs) and Christian Lauluten (bitches). Rasmus was graded Very Good, and Vappu and Armi (pictured below) Excellent.
Mette and Armi have new profile pictures. In addition, Mette's gallery and Alma's progeny page have been updated. |
