Last week I went on a little dogshow adventure with my partner in crime Malin. We took the ferry with her caravan to Åbo in Finland and drove to Helsinki.
First of all we met up with Colins finish son Akimba and his "little brother" Kadamo I Want to Break Free "Bengo". I haven't seen Bengo since he moved from Sweden at Christmas time to is was good to see how beautiful he has become.
After that visit we found a parkingspot near the showarena where we spend the evening and night. 
On Thursday it was time for the Circuit show (speciality show) with 85 ridgeback being judged by Patrik Cederlöf, Sweden.
I had my babygirl Kadamo A Kind of Magic "Maggie" from the Queen-litter (Nada x Soro) with me. She turned 9 months only just over a week before the show so I did not have big expectations.
But oh did she do well! She was a bit unsure in the ring especially moving with other handlers running close behind us, but stood like a statue and did not flinch during the judge handling of her. She won the class giving her the title HeCJW-25 and her first finnish JCAC and JCACIB! 
She got to compete with the big and beautiful girls for Best Bitch where she made it to 3rd Best Bitch with RCAC!
Amazing debute for this young beauty! She got to compete against the Best Junior male and was rewarded Best Opposite Sex.
Her critique translated to Swedish:
 

Excellent type. Feminine wellshaped head that could have more lower jaw. Well-shaped eyes. Well-placed ears. Good croup. Correct ridge. Typical front & rear angulation. Nice strong paws. Moves well.

Malin had "only" SEJW-22 SEW-22 EUJW-23 NORDJW-23 NORDW-23 SEW-23 JCIB SEVCH RLDN RLDF SEUCH FIUCH NUCH DKUCH Kadamo Can Y’ See It Now “Leo” entered to the circuit show. He was placed 3rd in Championclass but no placement in best male.

After the show we headed out of town to find a place to park for the night. We ended up in  forest near a lake so nice area to walk the dogs. We stayed there until the afternoon the next day before heading back towards the showground and the World Winner Show on Saturday. 
This time the breed entry was 127 and divided to two judges. Males was judged by Ilaria Biondi De Ciabatti (Peru) and bitches and Best of Breed by Justine Blyth (AUS).
First out was our juniorgirls Atria Eta Leonis Evolution "Chloe" and HeCJW-25 Kadamo A Kind of Magic "Maggie". 
They both did really well in the large class gaining Excellent.

Chloes critique:
Strongly made but elegant. Pleasing head of correct proportions. Skull flat. Correct wedge shaped muzzle. Clean neck. Good forechest. Front straight. Would like a little more length of forearm as she moves a little higher in hindquarters. Well ribbed back. Good hindquarters. Moved okay. Good ridge.

Maggies critique:
Elegant, athletic bitch of lovely type. Good length of head. Skull flat, not too broad. Correct ears, used to her advantage. Clean neck into well laid shoulders. Good forechest. Straight fronts down to good feet. Good oval rib and well ribbed back to strong, well angulated hindquarters. Topline level. Tail carriage correct. Effortless true movement, true coming and going. Good ridge.

This lovely critique got Maggie picked for top 4 and my little baby girl finished 2nd Best Junior! That meant just one dog away from the Junior World Winner title, but to be viceJWW-25 is good too. I am so very proud of my girl!

Leo was shown in a large championclass with Excellent but was unfortunately not picked for placement this time. Still we had a good time in the ring together. 
The boy I was also cheering for was Maggies father SKCH ROCH HUCH CIB Socrates Lakota Löwenschwanz "Soro". 
And wow did he do well! He won the championclass, won Best of Breed and is the new WORLD WINNER 2025! Wow wow wow! What an amazing dad we have to our Queen-litter!
Huge congratulations to owners Dana Mullerova and MilanHnátko, breeder Lívia Lakotová and handler Dasha Emelyanenko!

This whole weekend was a great experience and the biggest show I have ever been to. I want to say a BG THANK YOU to Valeriia Iurtaeva  and Kati Ketonen for the nice photos from the show. The photos of more poor quality was taken by Malin or Nadine Skytthammar with my camera.

Our Red-litter is now 13 weeks old and they have since a few weeks been with their new families. We have also had the chance to see eachother again for a puppymeeting and in a few weeks our puppyclass will begin.
All the puppies are doing well so far having a wonderful summer with new experiences together with their owners. 
Looking forward now to get our puppyclass started!

At the last weekend of July we went to the international  dogshow in Ransäter, judge Karl-Erik Johansson.
I started off by showing Maggie for the last time in puppyclass, turning 9 months the day after the show. We had a bad situation before going into the ring, when a big sankt bernard tried to attack her and the owner almos dropped the dog. I managed to get inbetween and get Maggie away but she got really scared. So after that she was really bothered by the invironment and of other dogs so it was not until the show had ended that she was back to being more relaxed again.
Either way she behaved in the ring but was carrying herself with ears back and tail low so did not get great movement from her.
She was rewarded Best Bitch puppy with HP and Best Opposite Sex. 

After her I showed Cooper in juniorclass and he won it winning his second J-CACIB! He got to compete in Best Male against the big boys where he finished 4th best male with R-CAC.
I showed Leo in the Championclass where he placed 2nd and later on he was 3rd Best Male with his owner Malin. 
Chloe was shown by Malin and they won the juniorclass with one more J-CACIB and was placed Best Opposite Sex in juniorfinals against brother Cooper who was Best of Breed Junior. 
Overall a good day with good results for our lovely dogs!

SEVCH NORDVW-23 SEWV-24 Kadamo Always Aiming High ”Django” from the High-litter (Mira x Idde)  won the veteranclass at the Nordic Show in Stoxa, Märsta. This gave him his second Nordic Veteran CAC. 
Congratulations Nadine and Django!

Kadamo Get the Party Started "Thor" from the Pink-litter (Tiya x Ari) competed in nose work last weekend and did amazing. One of the searches they won with a time of 1,47 seconds! 
They got 100 points and 1 SSE. This gave them the 1st place in the total! 
Congratulations to Malin and Thor!
