Catching up year 2014

For me year 2014 was very exceptional. There are not enough words to explain what I have experienced. I decided to do a summary of Rickys wins and show in picture the top moments during the show year 2014 (better later than never)! Since the results achieved during november and december 2013 was counted in the Top Dog competition for 2014, I also want to present these results.

During year 2014 Ricky has won at international or all breed dog shows:

3 x BEST IN SHOW
12 x BIS-placements
20 x BEST IN GROUP
29 x BEST OF BREED

Ricky ended the year as #1 TOP DOG ALL BREEDS IN FINLAND 2014!
Ricky has indeed charmed hearts with his happy temperament and winning attitude. He has been recognized by breed specialists and allrounders with beautiful critiques. Thank you all for making this possible and true deep thank you to breeder Sirkka Sundström for trusting this amazing boy in my hands!!


In November 2013 Ricky won Res. BEST IN SHOW at the HUGE Jyväskylä international dogshow with over 5100 dogs entered. This show started the Top Show Dog competition (all breeds) in Finland.


In December 2013 Ricky did something I never thought could be possible. One weekend, three Winner shows and Ricky won Best In Show, BIS-2 and BIS-3. This was the biggest dog event the Finnish Kennel club has ever organized during their 125 years!! Over 23 000 dogs were entered for the whole weekend.
