March-April-11In Memoriam Tuus Archie Bunker "Sipowicz" 7.3.2002-4.4.2011. Sipowicz was diagnosed with leukemia in December but he still got few months to live.

CS male Kirva (Tuus Puuskupuh) from our latest CS litter feels comfortable in show rings and now at the age of 2 he has titles as FI CH JWW-10 W-10 BALTW-10 NORDW-10 EEJW-10 EEW-10 LTW-11. Kirva's sister Selma (Tuus Hiinokka) is also a pretty princess with titles LT JCH LV JCH EE JCH JWW-10 BALT JCH HeW-10 W-10 EEJW-10 EEW-10.

Kirva is also competing agility in large 2 with his owner Emilia Helminen. They are trying to get to the highest class but they still need one more CAC.

Saga (Tuus Laventelilulla) made CS history in Finland in obedience test with her handler Eija Hyvättinen. They got 260 points in winnerclass and were placed first! This was the first time CS took place in winnerclass and got this much points. Great job Eija & Saga!


December-10 Our unofficial CS Agility Championships took place in Seinäjoki. All dogs run 2 official runs (large 3 courses!) and for those who were really competing in this class the results were official... and here are the results:
1. Agility Champion-10 Puubi (Biba) & Tommi Raita-aho result 0, (class3)
2. Häjy (Tuus Sirius Musta) & Heli Saksi result 54,91 (not competed before)
3. Myyrä (Tuus Tohtori Sykerö) & Satu Kettukangas result DISQ+0 (class3)
4. Monni (Tuus Kuhnusarvio) & Satu Kettukangas result DISQ+5 (class1)
5. Pimpo (Tuus Paniikkipilleri) & Sarianna Salonen result DISQ+10 (class3)
6. Kirva (Tuus Puuskupuh) & Emilia Helminen result DISQ+DISQ (class1)
7. Satiainen (Mawlch Satir) & Tommi Raita-aho result DISQ+DISQ (class3) Kropai palkintojen jako
These were a bit surprising results but that's the beauty of agility :-) It was a great day with great dogs and people. Unfortunately Alen Marekovic was in Finland at the same time but in a totally different place. It would have been nice to meet him in our championships.


November-10 CS owner Marianne Sarimo organised us a great day with sheeps in Somero. There where about 11 people and 8 CS all and all. Arvo (Tuus Argus Voro) was already a pro but the rest of us weren't :-) Puubi wasn't interested at all and Satiainen was just walking nicely among the sheeps... Still we had great fun and laughed all day long. It's not always easy with sheeps and sheepdogs...


September-10 First time in Finland breeders class was shown in a dog show in Porvoolast September. The judge was Boris Spoljaric from Croatia and this is what he gave:
Tuus Puuskupuh "Kirva": JUN EXC, JUN1, Best dog1, CAC, BOB JUNIOR, BOB, GROUP3 (judge B. Spoljaric)
Mawlch Satir "Satiainen": CH class EXC, Best dog2
Tuus Hiinokka "Selma": JUN EXC, JUN2, Best bitch 4, RES-CAC
Tuus Lovekiva "Viki": JUN EXC, JUN1, Best bitch 3, CAC
Zahir Slavonski Brod "?": JUN disqualified
Tuus Paniikkipilleri "Pimpo": CH class EXC, Best bitch 2
Tuus Tikittäjä "Tiuku": CH class EXC, Best bitch 1, BOS

Breeders class: Tuus Kennel 1. Honour prize, BOB breeder

I'm very pleased how all dogs from my breeding behaved in the ring. They all got excellent and Kirva was placed 3rd in junior group so I'm more than pleased. Kirva was also noticed by a Finnish judge in group1 where she took him in top 8.


14.07.10 We're planning a Croatian Sheepdog litter with our co-owned bitch Pimpo. If everything goes as planned she will be in heat in August-September.


14.07.10 CS Selma (Tuus Hiinokka) got her official health chech results today; hips: A/A, elbows: 0/0, knees: 0/0, back: ok, eyes: no symptoms of hereditary deseases :-)


10.-11.07.10 CS Kirva (Tuus Puuskupuh) went to Estonian dog shows. He got CAC both days and got EE JCH -titel. On Sunday he was placed GROUP3 by Belgian judge Roger Vanhoenacker. Many Congratulations Kirva & family!


02.-04.07.10 Annual Agirotu event took place at Ylöjärvi near us and this year there were 14 CS participating or just hanging around the area. Thirteen of the dogs were either owned by us or dogs from our breeding. As always this event was great fun allthough we didn't get any success with the teams this year.Our competing team was placed 6th/59 teams. Three dogs got disq but our time was the second best so we were placed this high (all the faults are turned to time). The two beginners teams were placed 5th and 6th. Two handlers run a course for the first time!

Every year we have a theme how we dress and this year the theme was crabs. Satiainen means crab in Finnish and because there were Satiainen's children we decided to dress as crabs. It's not surprise that we got a lot of intention during the day :-)

27.06.10 CS Pimpo (Tuus Paniikkipilleri) got her last CAC from the first run she could take it! Now she is officially Finnish Agiklity Champion. We are sooooo proud of Pimpo & her handler Sarkku!


24.06.10 It's the Midnight Summer time in Finland and the World Winner show took place in Danmark. Our sweet little crabs, as we call these pups in Finland, Kirva (Tuus Puuskupuh) and Selma (Tuus Hiinokka) are both Junior Winners -10. Kirva was BOS and Selma best bitch 2. Great done babies! Also many congrats for the World Winner Mawlch Seka "Kahlen"! Also many greeting from your bro Satiainen.

22.06.10 CS Arvo (Tuus Argus Voro) went to see the lambs for the very first time in his life. At first Arvo wasn't sure what to do but after awhile he acted like he had always been with the lambs. He's a real talent by nature :-)


19.-21.06.10 CS Selma (Tuus Hiinokka) had a trip to Jönköping, Sweden in her way to Danmark and World Winner show. Selma took part in 3 shows with very different results. First show she got GOOD, because the judge wanted her to be much much bigger. The second show she got EXCELLENT and BOB and the judge liked her. The third show she got VERY GOOD.


19.-20.6.10 Finnish Agility Championships took place in Vantaa. Last year we celebrated team gold but this year our result was disqualified. All our dogs CS Satiainen, Puubi, Pimpo & Australian shepherd Svante were disq. so there's no need to say more.

The individual runs went almost the same way. Puubi and Pimpo were disq in jumping. Satiainen got result 15.01 and got to the finals but was disq there. Must say the courses were something really new. There were about 160 dogs in large category and only one of them got clear runs in both runs!

The medium course was much much easier and our slowly running Sipowicz didn't make it to the final. He was placed 58th at first run when 50 best got to the final.


30.05.10 CS Satiainen won one agility run in standard 3 with clear run in Nokia.


29.05.10 CS Saga (Tuus Laventelilulla) joined the open class in obedience test and got 194/200 points and won the class! Congratulations!


22.05.10 CS Pimpo (Tuus Paniikkipilleri) got double winning at standard 3 agility competition today. She also got her first CAC for jumping champion titel and also the ticket to our AWC qualies in July. Well done Pimpo & Sarkku!


22.05.10 CS Selma (Tuus Hiinokka) had her knees and eyes checked. Everything ok :-)

24.12.09 Merry Rockin' Christmas and Rollin' New Year 2010 for everyone! May Year 2010 be Succesfull and Happy!


24.12.09 It's Christmas time and also time to "close this year 2009". Once again this has been a year full of joy, happiness, great results and achievements but also a year of sadness.

It's heartbreaking to tell that a CS pup from our Harry Potter litter; Tuus Sirius Musta "Häjy" has diagnosed idiopatic epilepsy :-( Häjy is 8 months old now and he's on medication. Time will tell what will happen with his epilepsy. Fortunately Häjy has a great home with loving familymembers. We hope this medication helps Häjy to live as normal life as possible. That is for sure that he's not able to compete officially because of the doping regulations in Finland.

The happier news this year are the two team golds that our CS got this year. Our own dogs Puubi (Beba) and Satiainen (Mawlch Satir) got gold in Finnish agility team Championships in June and a pup from our first CS litter, Tuus Vekkuliverstas "Capo" got gold in Finnish team obedience competition in July.

At Agirotu event CS team got silver this year and the same time there were held the 1st CS World Championships in Zagreb (wish we could have been there...) we got our own agility championships for the breed. We had 4 CS competitors there and few CS owners. Finnish CS Agility Champion 2009 is Pimpo (Tuus Paniikkipilleri).

Five CS from our breeding have been shown in dog shows this year with great results and two CS are now competing agility in level 3 (Tuus Paniikkipilleri "Pimpo" and Tuus Tohtori Sykerö "Myyrä").

Satiainen (Mawlch Satir) is now Finnish Agility Champion and Pimpo (Tuus Paniikkipilleri) is able to got the titel next July. There were three CS this year at AWC qualies and Finnish Championships and our own dogs Puubi and Satiainen already got the results needed for next years qualies.

Still maybe the greatest achievement was our second CS litter which was born in April. Our first litter just had their 3rd birthday this month.

This was just a short clip for all that has happened this year. Hopefully next year will give us more happy and unforgettable moments with our dogs.


14.06.09 Great results for Croatian sheepdogs also today:

Agility individual Finnish Championships: Puubi 13th (result 2,99) and Satiainen 16th (result 5). The grass was wet and slippery so Tommi fell on his knees during Puubi's first course.Sipowicz was 32nd in medium class with result 23,40.

International Dog Show in Kotka, judge Marianne Holm
Open class, bitches: Tuus Tikittäjä "Tiuku" EXC, Best bitch, Cac, Cacib, BOB --> Finnish Champion, Congrats Ninni & Tiuku!!!

Obedience test in Askola
Beginners class Tuus Laventelilulla & Eija Hyvättinen got 188,5 points/200 and won the class! Congrats Eija & Saga!!!


13.06.09

Great day for Croatian sheepdogs at Finnish Agilitychampionships! Our CS Puubi and Satiainen won in team competition!

Our team was:
1. Satiainen cs & Tommi Raita-aho result 0 (-10,30)
2. Donna labradour & Helena Korpela result DISQ
3. Svante austarlian shepherd & Kati Selkämää result 0 ( -6,10)
4. Puubi cs & Tommi Raita-aho result 0 (-5,77) ---> Total result 0 (-22,17)

This victory was a real surprise. It didn't look very promising because Puubi had just given birth to 9 pups and wasn't really in her best condition... just before gathering the team Satiainen had 5 disqualified courses in-a-row... one team member, german shepherd injured his leg and couldn't participate... a labradour took his place... austalian shepher's handler injured her tooth just day before competition... but THEY MADE IT!!!

Our PON Sipowicz competed in medium team an they were placed 19th. Sipowicz's result in the team was 5,35 (overtime). The time standard was very tight.


08.06.09 CS pup Kisu (Tuus Kissimyyr) from our Potter litter moved today and lives now in Vesilahti with Marianne Karlsberg and family.

CS pup Reetu (Tuus Rohkelikko) is still available! Reetu is friendly, agile and stubborn nearly 9 weeks old dog who needs experienced owner. Reetu seems promising for agility, obedience ect. He is registered, microchipped, puppy tested. Has bobtail, scissor bite and both testicles.
Reetu


04.06.09 CS Satiainen (Mawlch Satir) and Pimpo (Tuus Paniikkipilleri) both ran 2 agility courses in Tampere today and they both were disqualified once and were placed second with clear run once in different courses :-) Great job Sarkku & Pimpo!


01.06.09 Seventh CS puppy, Tuus Kuhnusarvio "Monni" moved to his new home with Satu Kettukangas.


29.-31.05.09 Sixout of nine Potter pups move to their new homes this weekend. We still have two pups without homes; Tuus Rohkelikko "Reetu" (bobtailed dog) and Tuus Kissymyyr "Kisu" (bobtailed bitch). All the best for the pups and their new owners!!!

Satiainen ran with Tommi 2 agilty courses in Nokia. Both courses ended up disqualified.


28.05.09 Vet checked our Potter-litter and gave them microchips. All the pups are ok... we're so very pleased to hear that :-)


27.05.09 Our Potter-litter was puppy tested by Noora Haapanen. Thanks for Noora and Emilia Helminen who organised the test.


24.05.09 CS Pimpo (Tuus Paniikkipilleri) & Sarkku Salonen run two clean runs in A3. Great job Sarkku!

Satiainen also run nicely. He run two clean runs and was placed 2nd and 4th. Also our mama Puubi run today. She also run two clean runs but she has lost her speed with the litter.


23.05.09 CS Pimpo (Tuus Paniikkipilleri) and her handler Sarkku are in great shape now. They just got to the highest level in agility (A3) and they already won with clear run! This was their first step getting the Finnish AgCh title. They also run another clean run and were placed 5th. What a weekend for Sarkku & Pimpo!


22.05.09 Our Potter litter (Croatian Sheepdog) is 6 weeks old now! Happy Birthday sweet Potters!


16.05.09 CS Pimpo (Tuus Paniikkipilleri) won twice in A2 with clear run with her handler Sarkku Salonen. In A3 they also made 2 nice runs, first with result 5 and second with clear run! Great job Sarkku & Pimpo!

Satiainen and Tommi FINALLY got the missing double-0 for the Finnish Championships next June. Satiainen and Tommi were placed twice 2nd and once 4th. Excellent! 15.05.09 YouTube videos from puppies + 2 agility courses of Satir. See videos from YouTube-page. 14.05.09 Sipowicz have new summer-look, thanks to Johanna Nyberg.

03.05.09 Happy 11th Birthday PON-litter "Salaiset kansiot (X-files)"!

CS Satiainen (Mawlch Satir) & Tommi ran today 2 courses in Janakkala. They result was DQ both runs! Also Puubi's daughter Pimpo (Tuus Paniikkipilleri) ran one run in A2 and knocked down one bar.


01.05.09 Our sweet little Potters are celebrating 1st of May by having good lunch together. The Potters have tiny little teeth and their' walking is getting better day by day.


25.04.09 There are new pics of each Potter in "Puppies" section. Also new pics added in gallery.


25.04.09 Puubi's daugter CS Tuus Paniikkipilleri "Pimpo" & Sarkku Salonen did great clean run agility in Hämeenlinna and they won standard 2 class (38 dogs competed). Congratulations!


24.04.09 Potters are 2 weeks old now. They bark and scream and look sweet :-) Here they are taking it easy:

22.04.09 Our cute little Potter-litter is growing fast. First pup has opened her eyes now when the pups are 11 days old :-) The pups are also trying to walk properly... that sure looks funny and sweet. Puubi is taking very good care of her children. She won't let anyone to harm her babies.


19.04.09 CS Tuus Tohtori Sykerö "Myyrä" and his owner Satu Kettukangas competed at agility competition in Haukipudas. Unluckily they were disqualified in both runs... otherwise Satu was satisfied with they performance. We keep our thumbers up so they get themselves to 3rd class soon.


18.04.09 CS Tuus Tohtori Sykerö "Myyrä" competed unofficial obedience test (beginners class) with his owner Satu Kettukangas with 134p/200p. Now they are ready for official test!


18.04.09 We decided the names for our CS litter. The names are taken from famous Harry Potter and they are in Finnish because they sound so nice. Read the names in puppies-section.


16.04.09 Our vet Sirkka Pyhälä came too see our litter's tails. In Finland the pups with natural bobtail/short tail need certificate from a vet before they are 10 days old.


13.04.09 CS Tuus Laventelilulla "Saga" went to a dog show with her owner Eija Hyvättinen. Judge was Marija Kavcic from Slovenia.

Bitches, open class: Tuus Laventelilulla "Saga" Exc1, Best bitch1,Cac, Cacib, BOB --> FI Ch

Congratulation Eija and Saga! Here is a pic of beautiful Saga:
Saga


10.04.09 Our Easter bunnies are here! CS Puubi gave birth to 9 sweet Croatian sheepdog pups; 5 dogs and 4 bitches. One dog and one bitch have long tail, others have bobtails or very short tail. Finally we got our very first full-tailed CS bitch :-)

The pups seem active and noisy and their mother is really paying attention to take care of her little bunnies. Puubi is certainly a good mother.

Meanwhile the sire of this litter, Satiainen, is very frustraited to stay downstairs and not to see his children. Is that a way to treat the father? ;-)
puppies puppies


01.04.09 CS Puubi is getting bigger and bigger. Two more weeks and the pups will born! Puubi is still eating like a horse and she doesn't like to run anymore. Nowadays she walks slowly and wise. This is Puubi's mamalook-2009:
puubi puubi


29.03.09 CS Satiainen & Tommi tried ONCE again achieve double zero from this weekend's agility competition. It looked promising after the first run (J3) but (A3) didn't work the way Tommi planned. Our AWC quali requirements say that the dog needs two zeros in a row during one day... This seems almost impossible with Satiainen.

PON Sipowicz ran just one run in medium A3 and was disqualified. Still his running looked nice because he really run.

CS Pimpo (Puubi's daughter) ran two runs in A2 and both times didn't make the contacts in A-frame.Now Pimpo's handler, Sarkku is thinking of changing her contact methods... Better luck next time Sarkku & Pimpo!


20.03.09 It's about 6 weeks from Puubi's mating and it's for certain that she is heavily pregnant :-) Her back is wider, her belly is wider and her tits are huge! Puubi is eating like a horse and she is barking more than usual. So, we're expecting CS babies to be born in April (week 15).

There is still one cute and active CS pup (bitch) available in Mawlch Kennel. For more details ask directly from the breeder Alen Marekovic.


15.03.09 Int Dog Show in Tampere, judge: Andreas Korosz from Hungary. Two CS participated with great results:

Dogs, champion class: Mawlch Satir EXC1, Best dog, Cacib, BOS
Bitches, open class: Tuus Paniikkipilleri EXC1, Best bitch, Cacib, BOB --> FI CH

Congratulations Pimpo and Sarkku!


08.03.09 Happy Birthday CS Satiainen (Mawlch Satir) and Satir's sisters and brother!


07.03.09 Pups from our PON litter "Those were the days" are celebrating their 7th birthday! Sipowicz sends his best to his sister and brother!

23.01.09 Today we lived terrible moments... Nupo (Tuus Pumpum-Raketti) ran away from her possible new home. Nupo just went to live with his new owner today and when he saw the door open he just ran away.


11.01.09 CS Puubi and Tommi ran two clear runs today in A3. In first run they were placed 2nd and sencond run 5th. With Satiainen Tommi didn't have any luck today.

CS Satiainen was "over heated" as usual so his results were 15 (A3) and 5 (J3). Luckily he got one clear run (A3) and was placed 9th among 57 dogs. Satiainen's runs far from fluent but he's getting there ;-)

________________________________________________________________________

26.-28.09.08 Finally! Agility World Championships took place in Helsinki! What a weekend! To be honest our Finnish team wasn't as succesful as we Finns expected but otherwise the whole weekend was GREAT. And of course, the bronze medal in individuals large category felt wonderful!

It was also great to see one crazy Croatian sheepdog running and barking in the course :-) Slovakian team's Gera (our Satir's aunt) was really giving everything she could. After the first day Slovakian team was in 3rd place but faults on second day put them to the 6th place. Still great job team Slovakia and especially Michala & Gera! It was really a pleasure to meet you and other CS people!

__________________________________________________________________________

21.09.08 Agility at the same place as yesterday. This time just Satiainen participated and he was disqualified twice (A3 & J3). Judge was Kari Jalonen.

________________________________________________________________________

20.09.08 Today's agility competition (2x agility run) was successful for Satiainen (large 3) and Sipowicz (medium 3).

Satiainen made nice run at 1st Choice cup and was placed 2nd right after Finnish AWC team member bordercollie Yoko and her handler Jouni Orenius.

Puubi made refusal otherwise she ran fast and fluently.

Sipowicz also ran pretty well and was placed 2nd in medium 3 with clear run.

The second run didn't go so well with Satiainen and Puubi. They both made one mistake; Satiainen jumped contact in dogwalk and Puubi knocked one barn. Otherwise their running looked great.

__________________________________________________________________________

Congratulations Heidi & Kapseli!!! At same competition Myyrä (Tuus Tohtori Sykerö) ran in District Championships team representing Raahen Koirakerho.

Sipowicz's result 2,02. Placed 3rd

Large A3 (1st Choice cup):
Puubi's result 5
Satiainen's result 5, second run 10,49

________________________________________________________________________

31.08.08 Capo (Tuus Vekkuliverstas) ran his first clear run in A1 with his owner Heidi Hakola and they won their class!!! Great done Heidi & Capo!!!

_________________________________________________________________________

30.08.08 Capo (Tuus Vekkuliverstas) ran his first official run with his owner Heidi Hakola at agility competition in Oulu. Capo ran fast but unfortunately he dropped 3 bars.

Sipowicz, Puubi and Satiainen competed 2 runs each in Orivesi. In first run Sipowicz made clear run and was placed 2nd in medium A3.

Puubi's result was 5 and Satiainen's 10 in A3.

In jumping run Sipowicz made also clear run and was placed 4th. By running two clear runs in-a-row within same day he got the results he needed for the Finnish Championships and AWC qualifications for 2009! Excellent job Sipowicz!!!

Tommi was in big trouble with Satiainen and Puubi in jumping run. The course wasn't fluent and Tommi didn't like the profile at all. With Satiainen the result was 5 but with Puubi they made clear run and were placed 3rd.

At the same time in Dog show in Porvoo Saga (Tuus Laventelilulla) got VG from Serbian judge Zoran Brankovic. Saga is owned by Eija Hyvättinen from Porvoo.

__________________________________________________________________________

24.08.08 International Agility competition took place in Lieto. Kari Jalonen and Jarmo Jämsä were judging the runs.

It was sunny day so it really wasn't Sipowicz's weather. He looses all his speed when it's warm and beautiful. Still he was placed 3rd (agility & jumping)in medium 3 class with clear and slow (within standard time) runs.

With Satiainen Tommi ran 3 runs in large 3 class (agility & jumping) and got 5 points from each run. Puubi knocked the first bar in agility run. This is a very very rare mistake from Puubi so Tommi was so surprised that he didn't pay tension to the rest of the course and they made more mistakes. Puubi's jumping run in J3 was clear and fast and she was placed 2nd.

Siru Takala's CS bitch Emma (Ema Certisa) got her third CAC today and got the title Finnish Champion! Congrats Emma & co!!!

__________________________________________________________________________

16.-17.8.08 What a weekend for Sipowicz and Puubi at agility competition in Lempäälä.

On Saturday Sipowicz won in A3 with result 0. It was raining heavily and that just suited for our detective well because he just LOVES rain. The agility run was also a part of 1st Choice cup competition. Puubi was placed 3rd in jumping run. Judge was Vesa Sivonen.

Sunday was almost a perfect day! Sipowicz won again in A3 with result 0! This was Sipowicz's sixth winning in 3rd level! Puubi did also great both in agility and jumping run. She won both runs with result 0!!! So it was 3 winnings for Tommi with 2 dogs in 2 categories on Sunday.

With Satiainen it didn't go so well... Actually Tommi did poorly with him. They knocked bars, took refusals and got disqualified few times... but still, this weekend was just EXCELENT!!!

________________________________________________________________________

12.08.08 Sanna (8 years old) and Puubi ran together at unofficial agility competition for the first time. The result was DISQ but their run was pretty nice. Hopefully Sanna will run with Puubi again.

_________________________________________________________________________

11.08.08 Three excellent results of Croatian Sheepdogs and PON are placed in news section 08.06.08.

__________________________________________________________________________

10.08.08 Today it was much better with Puubi's agility run in Tampere. She won in A3 with clear run. Her other run was DISQ because of Tommi's bad handling (he was too happy about the first run). As a prize Puubi got moomin' mug with Haisuli in it.

The problems with Satiainen continue. He takes the contacts perfectly in trainings and in our backyard before the competitions but not in competitions.

The same day Croatian sheepdog Matti (Takkutukan Eliksiiri) and his handler Malla Sarimo made their first clear run in A1 in Janakkala (jumping) and they won their class! Excellent job Malla & Matti! This really was a great day for Croatians in agility :-)

__________________________________________________________________________

09.08.08 Puubi's daughter Pimpo (Tuus Paniikkipilleri) won one agility run with result 5 in A1 in Tampere with her handler Sarkku. Pimpo ran nice and fast. Unfortunately she dropped one barn. Her other results from that day were DISQ and 5 (slalom).

Puubi and Satiainen didn't do well at the same competition in A3.Our POn Sipowicz made one v e r y slow run (within standard time) and was palced 3rd.

__________________________________________________________________________

03.08.08 It was time for our Agility District Championships and Puubi made two clear runs and won the title twice in-a-row (2007 & 2008) in A3. Here you can see Puubi's courses.

No succes for Satiainen in A3 this time... he was just barking and acting crazy...he even ripped Tommi's t-shirt and broke my nail. What a dog!

Sipowicz got bronze in A3 medium class.

Our standard team Puubi (CS), Satiainen (CS), Pimpo (CS) and Raisa (Novascotian duck tolling retriever) were 4th in team competition. All the others except Raisa made mistakes. Still, Pimpo's run looked very nice. I believe Sarkku and Pimpo will do great in agility.

__________________________________________________________________________

02.08.08 Puubi's daughter Tiuku (Tuus Tikittäjä) started her official agility career with her owner Nina Lakkapää. The first two runs didn't go as Nina had planned... Tiuku was disqualified twice in A1.

__________________________________________________________________________

26.-27.07.08 AWC qualifications took place in Helsinki, at the same place where the AWC will take place in the end of September. Puubi was once disq and once she got result 5, so it was bye and have a nice trip home for Puubi and Tommi.

The Finnish AWC teams in Helsinki are (small): Päivi Männistö & Swedish Vallhund "Leila", Janne Karstunen & Border Terrier "Toffe", Anna Ström & Sheltie "Elli".

Team medium is Jari Suomalainen & Kooikerhondje "Frodo (WW-07), Sami Oksa & Kooikerhondje "Luka" and Rauno Virta & Novascotian Duck Tolling Retriever "Leija".

The standard team is Jaakko Suoknuuti & Border Collie "Zen", Jouni Orenius & Border Collie "Yoko" and Mikko Aaltonen & Belgian Terveuren "Ava". Good Luck and Excellent Runs for all our teams in Helsinki!!!

It's also nice to see Mawlch Gera "Gera" running with her owner Michala in Slovakian team. Hope you very best Michala and Gera!

__________________________________________________________________________

13.07.08 Satiainen won in A3 for the first time! He had the fastest time in his class and his result was 0. Actually he ran 2 clear run today (once he was placed 4th) which is needed for next years Finnish Championships. Also, now Satiainen is one step closer to the Finnish Agility Champion-title.

__________________________________________________________________________

04-06.7.08 Agirotu event took place in Ylöjärvi and this year we could gather 3 Croatian Sheepdog teams for the event. There were 2 teams in beginners class and they made fantastic job by winning first two placements! There were 21 teams competing in that class. Also there was a team gathered from dogs which have competed before. They were placed 61/71. Here you can see the teams and individual runs. Puubi's and Grom's (Mawlch Grom) daughter Pimpo started her agility career with great results. Once she was placed 3/58 and once she won A1 class with result 0 (63 dogs).

Our CS teams were also competing for the "BEST OUTFIT AWARD" but didn't succeed this time. The competitors took their characters from the serial "The Simpsons". So we had Homer, Marge, Lisa, Bart, Maggie, Kursty the Clown, Willie, Patty & Selma Bouvier in our teams! You can see our teams here.

__________________________________________________________________________

08.06.08 Today was a great day for our dogs.

Capo (Tuus Vekkuliverstas) from our breeding went to the Finnish Championships for the Obedience teams. This was Capo's first appearance in obedience ring and he did great with his handler Heidi. Capo got 192,67 points out of 200. The whole team (4 participants in a team) did great and they were placed 3rd in the competition! This was the first time when Croatian Sheepdog made it this high level in Finland in any activities. GRATULATIONS Heidi & Capo!!!

__________________________________________________________________________

14.10.07 A lot has happened since we updated these pages last time... good things and bad things...

* In October PON bitch Lilla (Ally McBeal) from our breeding died at the age of 7,5 years because of the serious problems in her back.

* In May PON bitch Viivi (Edith Bunker) from our breeding died at the age of 5 years because of tumours in her kidneys.

* In June Viivi's mother and our lovely PON-granny Lita died because of a tumour. Lita was 13 years old.

* In the beginning of July the annual Agi Breed event was held in Vöyri. It was great to finally meet Satir's breeder Alen in person. He was judgeing in Vöyri and he made excellent courses. Very different than we are used to see here. Hopefully we'll meet soon again. Also, there were 2 Croat pups from our breeding, Mopo (Matomobiili) and Myyrä (Tohtori Sykerö). It was nice to meet them and their owners Tuija and Satu.

* Immediately after the Agi Breed Event our Croat Puubi got very sick. We had to take her to the vet who cut her small intestine.We're glad to say that she got better very soon after the operation and is now in great condition. What a shock that was to us!

* Croat pup Tiuku (Tikittäjä) from our breeding has been to 3 pup shows during this summer and autumn with great results. She's been BOB-puppy each time. Also Pimpo (Paniikkipilleri) has been to one show and one match show. At the first show she was placed second after Tiuku and she also got honor prize. At the match show Pimo was BIS4. Also one Croat boy from our breeding Capo (Vekkuliverstas) went to a match show and was placed all and all fourth best in all puppies.

* Puubi is the District Champion-07 in Agility! The individual competition was very tight... Puubi was second in the first run and fourth at the second run and all and all she won! In team run Puubi's team was sovereign :-). Sipowicz got second with his midi team but didn't had any success at individual runs.

* Sipowicz is the PON Agility Champion 2007 and his half-sister Lilla was placed second with her owner Sarianna.Sipowicz is now ALMOST Finnish Agility Champion. He won twice this summer with result 0, but he still needs the prize from shows to get the titel. Now we must wait his hair grow and then go to shows. This will happen in spring or summer 2008.

05.03.07 This month we will be celebrating few birthdays and we want to tell about them in advance. First our PON litter "Perhe on pahin/Those were the days" will celebrate their 5th birthday (7.3.)! Congratulations Tuus Edith Bunker "Viivi", Tuus Gloria "Lyyli", Tuus Meathead "Leevi" and Tuus Archie Bunker "Sipowicz"!

The next day (8.3.) our young Croatian boy Satir will celebrate his first birthday! Happy Birthday to Satir and all his brothers and sisters around Europe!

In the end of March (30.3.) our PON litter "Ally McBeal" will celebrate their 7th birthday. So Happy Birthday to Tuus Ally McBeal "Lilla", Tuus Ling Woo "Lyyti" and Tuus John Cage "Zack"!!!

17.02.07 Two pups left today and we still have one pup here for at least for a week. Our house is so silent now and we're playing with the last pup as much as we can. He's the only pup in the litter who reminds of his mother. He's just like Puubi was as a pup. He's silent, jumps with excellent techniq and is not dominant at all.

15.02.07 Pups are 9 weeks old now and we still have 3 pups running around the house.

30.01.07 There are new pics of each pup at the age of 6 weeks in Puppies section and Gallery. There is also new Croatian Sheepdog link added.

25.01.07 Pups are 6 weeks old now. Everyday we let them run in our house, not just in the puppy room but almost all over the house. They really enjoy running and playing and it is fun to watch them playing with each other.

21.01.07 There are new pics of each pup at the age of 5 weeks in Puppies section. Also, we still have dogs available, so if you're interested, please contact us.

Our daughter Sanna is very helpful kennel girl and today is her 7th birthday! Happy birthday Sanna!

Now all the pups know how to get off the puppy box and they all know how to eat solid food. They are greedy pups. Well, two pups are too gready so they are on a diet ;-)

11.01.07 Pups are 4 weeks old now. They look sweet when they run on the floor...specially the ones without tail. They are like little teddybears.

08.01.07 There are new pics of each pup at the age of 3 weeks added in Puppies section. There are also new pics of the litter added in Gallery.

First two pups have learned how to climb off the puppy box. Great job boys!

06.01.07 Today we found two of the pups running wild in the room. They got to the floor when holding tight Puubi's nipples.

Today we gave the pups solid food for the very first time and boy, it was delicious, they all enjoyed it a lot.

We put new pics of each pup to the Puppies section. We also put some pup pics to the Gallery.

04.01.07 Pups are 3 weeks old today! We decided to give the names for the pups from the classic children's tv show Doctor Snuggles. The names sound lovely in Finnish (and because our children wish us to do so) so this time we'll give the names in Finnish.

01.01.07 Great news for us Finnish CS lovers; Alen Marekovic from Croatia is coming to Finland next July to judge some competition in our great Agility Breed Event!

31.12.06 New pics off 2 weeks old pups added in Puppies section. There are also new pics in gallery. Croatian sheepdog data base and three other links added in links.

24.12.06 Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

19.12.06 Today our vet Sirkka Pyhälä came to us to check our pups' tails for registration. In Finland we need vet's certificate of tails that are not completely long and this must be done within 10 days after the pups are born.

23.12.06 Happy 5th Birthday Puubi!

16.12.06 Puubi's pups are growing. See them in a webcam here.

14.12.06 What a day! Puubi delivered 9 pups; 6 dogs and 3 bitches. See the proud mama with her puppies here. This litter has intresting collection of tails; natural bobtails, bobtails, short tail and long tails. The first pup was born at 5 am and the last at 12 am. Read more about the pups here. There are also pics of them.

09.-10.12.06 it was time for Finnish Winner 2006 Dog Show in Helsinki. Our sweet little junior Satir participated to the show at the age of 9 months and 1 day. All and all there were 3 Croatian sheepdogs in the show. The judge was Finnish Anneli Sutela and this is what she said about Satir: "Excellent type. Well proportioned. Nice head and full of expression. Ears are bit fasten down in the head. Still a bit high from behind when standing and moving. Good quarters and angulation. Nice coat, moves well. Promising." And this is what she gave him:

Mawlch Satir EXC1 JUN1, best dog, SERT, BOB Finnish Junior Winner-06 & Finnish Winner-06

09.12.06 Soon-to-be-daddy Mawlch Grom passed the BH-test in Slovenia. Grom got excellent points 96/100 of obedience and special honorable mention from the judge because he was the best dog in the exam! Congratulations Grom and Jasna!

08.12.06 Two pics of very pregnant Puubi. Still one week to go... Pic1, Pic2.

26.11.06 See the new pics of our dogs; here is pregnant Puubi, here all our dogs, here Nordic-Häme cup winner and here Tommi and Puubi.

26.11.06 Gallery is finally opened with more than 60 pics.

25.11.06 Sipowicz competed in Tampere but without success. He was dq. Satir was supporting his friend and made something extra for this competition. He locked himself and Sipowicz in our car (of course the car keys were in the car too). Fortunately our dear friend Marika Aartio drove like Räikkönen and gave Tommi the spear keys. Unfortunately it didn't help Sipowicz's course any way.

The same day they awarded the winners of Nordic-Häme Cup. This is unofficiell cup with 6 different competitions included. We are proud to tell that our detective Sipowicz won medium class so now he is the winner of Nordic-Häme Cup, medium class!

17.11.06 Ultra sound confirmed that Puubi is pregnant. You could also tell that from looking at her huge nipples and fat belly. Puubi is SO pregnant now; she needs cuddling all the time and she sure gets it from everyone. We're expecting the litter to be born before Christmas. Read more about the expected litter here.

17.11.06 Here is 8 months old Satir, and here Satir and his pregnant friend Puubi.

12.11.06 Agility competition in horse riding ring in Tampere. Sipowicz ran fluently and quite fast but the course was much too easy, so he was 6th (17 dogs). The judge was Jarmo Jämsä. After the competition we saw CS Matti who had grown a lot. Matti was handsome and well-mannered young man.

09.-12.11.06 World Dog Show 2006 in Poznan, Poland. See some of the Polish Lowland Sheepdogs' results here (138 dogs). Junior World Winner in Croatian Sheepdogs was young male Hugo Certisa, World Winner and BOS was Leo Slavonski Brod. See pics of him here: pic1, pic2. World Winner and BOB was Dona Certisa. Congratulations!

22.10.06 This year's last competition for Puubi in Helsinki. She ran nice although handler wasn't so satisfied with the run. Still result 0 and second place for Puubi in this competition (40 dogs). This was really nice way to close this season.

20.10.06 Melancholy day because today Jasna and Grom left back home. The 10 days they were here went so fast. It was really great to have Jasna and Grom here. Grom was everything we wanted him to be and much much more. Jasna is so sweet person that we already miss her lot. We really hope to meet Jasna again; maybe in AWC in Helsinki or maybe even before that. Here are pics of Jasna and Grom running obstacles in our back yard: pic1, pic2. Here is a pic of Grom eyes closed.

19.10.06 Unofficial agility competition in Tampere in Hervanta. A day to remember, because it was SO cold and we had to be there SO late in the evening. There were many competitors so we were back home very late and we were truly frozen. Well, all the others, except Grom who ran like maniac. He didn't seem to care about the cold weather. Grom ran two runs, both disq. but with unbeliavable speed.
In a way it was a good thing that it was so cold because now Jasna was finally willing to go to sauna! It didn't look like she would have enjoyed it much but maybe she just needs more practise ;-)

16.10.06 Grom and Puubi were in action again. See the pics of them in action: pic1, pic2.

15.10.06 Today Grom and Puubi finally did it! But before that there was an agility competition. Grom and Jasna competed in Tampere in horse riding ring which is excellent place for agility competitions. First run was again very fast and fluent, great contacts and slalom again. Unfortunately Grom jumped beside the tyre so the run was disq. Otherwise his run was excellent. Grom also ran the unofficial jumping run which was also disq. Dispite the disqualifications his running is really entertaining to watch. Breathtaking, I would say ;-) See Grom running here: 1st run, 2nd run.

In that same competition PONs had their own agility Championships. There were only 3 PONs; our Lita and his son Sipowicz and daughter Lilla (owner Sarianna Sarmastola).

Sipowicz ran fluently and more agile than ever before this year! He didn't make any mistakes and with the result 0 he is now PON Agility Champion 2006 Sipowicz!. Sipo's mother Lita was second, and sister Lilla third. See the PONs running here: Sipowicz 1st run, 2nd run, Lita 1st run, 2nd run, Lilla 1st run, 2nd run.

So immediately when we got home Grom was all over Puubi and they did it :-)

14.10.06 Grom and Jasna competed two runs in Turku. Grom is unbeliavable fast dog, so eager to work. He did excellent slalom and contacts. The first run his result was 15 and the second run disq. Still pleasure to watch Jasna & Grom working together on the courses. Judge in these runs was Anders Virtanen. See Grom running here: 1st run, 2nd run.

13.10.06 It didn't look like "true love was in the air", although Grom and Puubi were really trying. So we took Puubi to insemination because the progesterone test told this was the right day for mating.

10.10.06 Exciting day for us; Jasna and Grom came to Finland! We have really expected for this day to come. See a pic of Jasna and Grom here.

07.10.06 Croatian large team won gold in Agility World Championships in Basel!!! Congratulations Alen Marekovic & Cap, Tanja Janes & CROATIAN SHEEPDOG Mishka, Domagoj Vidovic & Hita!!! Here is a pic that shows how Satir celebrated the historical victory...

Great success for Finnish team also, the medium team won gold and Jari Suomalainen & Frodo won gold in medium individual! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

30.09.06 Puubi is in heat!

23.09.06 Friskies Cup Final in Helsinki, but no success for our dogs; both Sipowicz and Puubi were disqualified.

17.09.06 Excellent day for Puubi and Tommi in agility 1st Choice Cup competition in Tampere. Puubi won with the only 0-result in her class (22 dogs). Tommi and the audience were about to get a heart attack because of the way Puubi run A. She just jumped from zone to zone. Tommi was about to interrupt her running but didn't because Puubi seemed to be ok. We just hope she won't do that again!

Sipowicz wasn't as slow as usual. He made a nice clear run and came 6th in his class (14 dogs).

12.09.06 We're planning to use Grom (Mawlch Grom) for our Puubi this autumn. Read more about the planned litter here.

11.09.06 Tarja was happily surprised when she receaved email from Polona Bonac from Slovenia. Polona is the owner of Satir's sister, "Saj" (Mawlch Shay). Polona sent lovely pics of beautiful Saj: pic1, pic2, pic3, pic4, pic5(here is mama Cita also). It was nice to hear that Saj is just like Satir; noisy little devil. So, we're not alone ;-)

09.09.06 There were 2 runs for Puubi and Sipowicz in Ylöjärvi. The place was excellent for competitions. Sipowicz had a clear first run and he came 3rd in his class. Puubi had result 10 from first run. See Sipowicz running here and Puubi running here.

The second run was DQ with Sipowicz (once again he was slow and stubborn to go where he wanted...) but Puubi made excellent run without mistakes. Finally she won her class with the fastest time. See her second run here. Here you can see the happy medalists. This was Puubi's 5th winning within 4 months! Also, with the result today she can participate the AWC qualifications next year!

02.09.06 Puubi Puubson and Detective Sipowicz competed in agility competition in Orivesi. They both had 2 runs. In first run Puubi was fast as usual and didn't make any mistakes. Puubi won the class with the fastest time. The second run she made a mistake in tunnel so her result was 5 and her placement was 10th.

It's not usual to be dissapointed when dog gets 2nd placement in competition. This time it was a dissappointment with Sipowicz since he was so close to get the titel Finnish Agility Champion. It's not easy to achieve this titel, dog needs 3 winnings with result 0 in class 3 to get the titel. Sipo has won twice so we're still hunting the last winning...

The first run Sipowicz came 2nd and the second run she came 5th with the result 0.

We are proud to say that both Puubi and Sipowicz have the 0-results needed for next year's Finnish Agility championships!

27.08.06 Our three dogs competed in Agility District Championships. It was the first competition this year for our almost 13 years old Lita. She sure surprised us all by running two clear runs and being 3rd in the competition! See the happy medi class medalists here.

Lita's son, Sipowicz, competed against his mother and lost ;-) He came 5th. Sipowicz also competed in our club's team and won the team competition! Excellent job! See the happy team Champions here.

We got high hopes for Puubi in this competition but unfortunately in first run she knocked the first bar down. In jumping run Puubi was 2nd and in the large team competition she got bronze. Jippiaiee!

19.08.06 Two runs for Puubi and Sipowicz in Valkeakoski. The first run Puubi was dq because of bad handling. The second run she won with result 0 and the fastest time in her class (31 dogs). This is her first run and this is her second run. See the medalists with the judge Kari Jalonen here and the results here.

Sipowicz just don't run the way he should. The first run he got some overtime. See his first run here. The second run he got result 0 and 4th place (18 dogs). See his second run here.

In the evening we took a long walk with pon-girl Viivi (Tuus Edith Bunker) from our breeding. Satir just adored her!

13.08.06 Two runs for Puubi and Sipowicz in Vesilahti. Today was really Puubi's day, the first run she was second (2/19) and the second run she won (1/19) with the fastest time and with the only 0-result in her class. You can see Puubi's first run here and second run here. Here are pics run 1 and run 2 of happy medalists ;-) All the results are here.

This wasn't Sipowicz's day. He was slow and tired as he has been all this summer. His handler is about to get a nervous breakdown with him, since he's so different in trainings. Here is Sipo's first run and here his second run. (The video may be hopping because the camera-man had Satir in her other hand while filming).

12.08.06 Agility Competition in Vesilahti, near our hometown. Both Puubi and Sipowicz had two runs. The first run was very fluent from Puubi and she came third (the first two places went to this year's AWC competitor). The second run was ruined by handler because he wanted to try something "special"- so the run was disqualified. All the results are here.

Sipowicz is really suffering from the warm weather. He just doesn't run :-( He knocked a hurdle in his first run and was disqualified the second run.

27.07.06 There was a competition in Tampere and both, Puubi and Sipowicz took part. And they both made a mistake in A-zone. Here is Puubi's run and here is Sipowicz's run. We also met two Croat owners and mudi owners there in the competition, so it was lots of fun for our Croat pup Satir who wants to play with everyone.

22.-23.07.06 The qualifications to the AWC this year was held in Vantaa. Puubi took part and we're happy that she has the chance to get to the team. She is fast and agile dog but what should we do with her handler? We're very pleased that Puubi ran all the 5 runs (that is more than she did last year) but unfortunately she got 2 runs disqualified.

Sipowicz didn't take part in the qualifications although he had the results needed. We decided there's no reason to take him there because he seems bored or tired or whatever...

15.07.06 We got Puubi's and Sipowicz's eyes checked. Everything is ok, said the doctor, Sanna Elfving.

08.-09.07.06 Agi-Breed event in Janakkala. Unfortunately there are so few Croatian sheepdogs in Finland that we couldn't compete as a team but hopefully next year!

Our PON Club sent a team, so our Sipowicz was running there. He got a nice run in the beginners team (of course, he's running in class 3!) Here you can see the results of our PON team.

01.07.06 Lilla (Fin Ch BH TK2 Tuus Ally McBeal) from our breeding competed in the team obedience Finnish championships in Hämeenlinna. This was the first competition for Lilla and her owner Sarianna in winner class.

18.-19.06.06 The Finnish Agility Championships were in sunny Lappeenranta. One could also bet for the dogs competing in large class. Puubi had a nice agility run and got to the final run. Unfortunately her result from the last run was 10 so her final placement in Championships was 21st. There were 148 dogs in large class. This is Puubi's first run, this is her second run.

Sipowicz dosn't like the warm weather and it really was warm in Lappeenranta. Sipowicz was very slow and finally he was disqualified. You can watch his run here.

Although we didn't have much of a success, we were very pleased with our trip. We met our old friends (Special Greetings to family Terävä) and got some new friends. Warm regards also to family Vallius, who drove many hours just to meet a Croatian Sheepdog.

11.06.06 Puubi is "warming up" for the Finnish Agility Championships. She came second in Agility run in Nokia (25 dogs). The second run she was disqualified. You can see her first run here and second run here.

PON Sipowicz had also two runs and he didn't make any mistakes. See him running here and here.

04.06.06 This was a historical day for Croatian sheepdogs in Finland! Today Puubi had two runs in Jyväskylä. In the first competition she came second (28 dogs) and the last she won (27 dogs). This was Puubi's third winning so now she is Finnish Agility Champion! Puubi is also the first Croatian sheepdog in our country which is double Champion (Fin AgCh& Fin Ch).

28.05.06 Puubi is now officially beautiful. We were in a dog show in Järvenpää where Puubi got the titel Finnish Show Champion. Judge was Maret Kärdi from Estonia.

27.05.06 Sipowicz won his class in agility competition in Valkeakoski. Unfortunately not with result 0. You can watch Sipowicz running here and Puubi running here. We watched the video and saw that handler did not take Sipowicz's slalom till the end as he should have...

25.05.06 There was an agility competition in Tampere for getting to the Serti-Cup final. Puubi had a great day once again. She came second in agility course (2/30) and third in jumping course (3/30). She came second in total results and will compete in the final. You will find the results here and our Puubi with her prizes here.

Sipowicz got the 0-results that he needed to get to the Finnish agility championships in June and the AWC qualifications in July.

20.05.06 Tommi started calling Satir with a name that suits Satir well but is not very beautifull. Satir is called "Satiainen" which means crab louse in Finnish.

Tommi has taken Satiainen to his agility training. Satiainen keeps noise and runs the tunnel. He has also run the dog walk by accident. But no worry, he did it like a master.

15.05.06 Our new puppy, Satir is getting along very well with our other dogs. Satir is a happy, agile pup. He's wrestling with our children all day long and the children just adore him.

13.05.05 Puubi had a successful day in agility competition in Lieto. She was third in agility course (33 competitors) and second in jumping course (35 competitors). You can find the results here. Also with these results Puubi got the right to compete in Finnish agility championships next June and also in the AWC qualifications in July.

06.05.06 A new familymember came to our house. His name is Mawlch Satir, he's a Croatian sheepdog, and he's 8,5 weeks old. Satir's father Atos and another handsome fellow, Cane came with the same flight from Croatia. Billion Thanks to Satir's breeder Alen Marekovic for making all the arrangements. And welcome to Finland boys!
