Today we went to the international dogshow in Västerås. Very nice to have a show near home.  Today's judge was Ralph Dunne, Ireland and breed entry 29. 
First was our golden boy EUJW-23 NORDJW-23 NORDW-24 SEW-22 SEJW-22 Kadamo Can Y’ See It Now ”Leo” today shown by his owner Malin. They won the intermediateclass with EXC but no CQ today. 
After him it was time for daddy FIUCH NOUCH SEUCH SEVCH Ave Caesar Diamond Jewel of Rubi ”Maddox” to entered the ring for the first time in 11 months! I have not showed him since he completed his championtitles last summer. But now it was time to chase some CACIB's too!
Maddox won the championclass with EXC and CQ. He went all the way to Best male with he CACIB we wanted and not only that. He was Best of Breed!
In the afternoon we went back for the finals where group 4/6 was judged by Nicola Hughes Ruigrok, Ireland. She picked out Maddox for her top placements and he went all the way to BIG-2! Such a great comeback to the showring!
Today we also had sweet SEVCH Kadamo Ariya "Leia" making her showdebute! I had the privilgue to show her in openclass today and she behaved so well! She placed 2nd with CQ behind a beautiful bitch who recently became champion. 
So first show and first time in Best bitch, where she ended up 3rd with R-CAC! (The championbitch who won over her where not Swedish champion so she got the CAC.)
So proud of the dogs and I had a very nice day with my lovely puppybyers. I am so proud and happy about all the success that has been coming our way the past year. Just trying to ride the wave and enjoy it all!
 

I don't even know where to start. I can't believe I am sitting here writing this post, I shouldn't be, I should not announce the death of Hailey for another 10 years at least!
But something came in the way of that... A week ago Hailey started to get a bit short of breath and threw up. She got better but on Saturday she got worse and her family (poor family who has only had her for four months) took her to the emergency vet. After some discussions we decided to transfer her to Södra Djursjukhuset in Stockholm were they have a lot of competent veterinarians. 
Hailey had fluid in her lungs and in her belly, causing her to have some trouble with her breathing. All kinds of possible diagnosis was checked, poison, leptospiros, lungworms, tumours, infections, bleeding. 
On Sunday she was doing better and they thought she might go home on Monday afternoon, but she then turned for the worse. She had an MRI scan and I went there late after work to see her. She was happy to see me but very tired, and heavy breathing. Today we got the results of the scan and it showed she had a very aggressive kind of cancer, disseminated histiocytic sarcoma. There were nothing to be done for her, but to help her stop the struggle. 
I want to say thank you to Jonas and Elin and their family for taking such good care of her for these past few months. I really wished you would have gotten a lot more time with her.
Right now all I feel is sad, hopeless and empty. Loosing a dog is never easy, but is is so sad when it happens to such a young dog. She should have had more time with us!
We will always love you, and never forget you. Rest in peace sweetheart!

Third day of dogshows in Sandefjord, Norway. Judge was Stanley Wei Jie Shen, Singapore and breed entry 60+.
Leo was today shown in intermediateclass for the first time, which he won with EXC and CQ. But no placement in Best male today.
Penny was also shown in Intermediate for the first time and she finished 2nd with EXC and CQ: Tiya also placed nicely 2nd with EXC and CQ in openclass, but neither her or Penny got any placement in Best Bitch.

After she show we headed down to the water and took some photos of our lovely juniors and some of the ribbons that they won this weekend. So proud of them both. Not only for their great results, but also for handling these long days and intense environment so well. It has been a pleasure to travel with them, and Tiya has been so happy to have her big kids to play with.

Second day of showing in Sandefjord and this time Nordic Winner Show 2023. Judge this day was Arja Koskelo, Finland breed entry 60+.
First out again was our junior Leo and he did great winning the class with CQ, and also winning Nordic JCAC and the title Nordic Junior Winner 2023.
In Best male he went all the way to Best Male with Norwegian CAC, Nordic CAC and another title Nordic Winner-23. So his new long name is now SEJW-22 SEW-22 EUJW-23 NORDJW-23 NORDW-23 Kadamo Can Y’ See It Now ”Leo”
Time for sister Penny to also enter the juniorclass and she did just as well as Leo. She also won the class with Exc and CQ, Nordic JCAC and the title Nordic Junior Winner -23. 
After her I showed Tiya in openclass and she finished 3rd with EXC. 
In Best bitch Penny finished very nicely second with R-CAC and R-Nordic CAC and her full name is now SEJW-22 SEW-22 NOJW-23 NOW-23 NORDJW-23 Kadamo Force of Nature ”Penny”.
In Best of Breed competition Leo did great and the judge caled him fabolous, making him Best of Breed!
Two days in a row standing with the Best of breed, one day Penny and the other day Leo, amazing!
We went back to our flat for a couple of hours rest for the dogs, especially Leo before heading back to the finals in the afternoon. Today's group judge was Pedro Delerue, Portugal. He had previously that day judged many of the group 4 and 6 breeds so I was very happy that he still picked out Leo for his top 6 in the main ring from over 30 dogs. 
I got even happier when we were announced on the speaker that we were placed as BIG-4! 
What a great way to end this day of showing! 

Today was day 1 at three day show in Sandefjord, Norway. Judge was mr Wim Wellens, NL breed entry 63. First I showed EUJW-23 SEJW-22 SEW-22 Kadamo Can Y' See It Now "Leo" in juniorclass where he got EXC and placed 3rd. After his I showed his sister SEJW-22 SEW-22 Kadamo Force of Nature "Penny" and she also got EXC but won the class with CQ.
After that it was time for their mum SEVCH Kadamo Comin' home "Tiya" in openclass were she got EXC and placed 4th in the class. 
In Best Bitch Penny went all the way and finished as number 1! She got her first Norwegian CAC and also J-CACIB. She also won two new titles, Norwegian Juniorwinner-23 and Norwegian Winner-23! (Leo and Penny is from my Oasis-litter from Tiya and Maddox.)
We took a break before the finals for some swimming, food and rest which both dogs and humans needed. It was a long wait for the finals and the judge Knut-Sigurd Wilberg hardly looked our way, but Penny behaved beautifully even though we did not get any placement.

Today I had some showpractise with SEVCH Kadamo Ariya "Leia" from the Nissan-litter (Heera x Dexter). Leia soon turns 2 years old and in the end of July I will show her for the first time. I think she is very pretty so I hope she will do well!
If she stays healthy she will be used in my breedingprogramme during 2024 or 2025. Look forward to that!

A few weeks ago I got to see handsome and sweet Kadamo Wonderwall "Dexter" from the Oasis-litter (Tiya x Maddox) when we were at the same dogshow. He has developed so nicely and is handled so well by his owner Johanna. It was great to see you both again!

The Pink-litter (Tiya x Ari) are now 13 weeks old and they had their last puppyclass yesterday. We had 11 puppies present and they all did very well. I think their owners are working really well with them and they have all made improvements. I hope you have a foundation to keep building on, and I already look forward to see you again after summer.
Mixed photos of the puppies below aswell as an attempt to do stacked photos of them all.
