I started to think that maybe she would live forever. But on Monday morning it was time for Emma to say her final good bye to Meya (SEVCH RLDN RLDF RLDA Kadamo Penny Lane). After a couple of days being ill and not really showing signs of improvment it was time to let her go. Meya was born in my Beatles-litter (Moa x Wilson) in 2010 and has since then had a special place in my heart. Meya was 15 years and 8 months old, so was only four months away from her 16th Birthday. To achieve this very old age is not at all common in a ridgeback. Both Meya's parents became very old too but I think the love and care her owner Emma gave her also played a big part.
Until we meet again, rest in peace Meya <3

SEVCH NW1 Kadamo Sentra "Luna" from the Nissan-litter (Heera x Dexter) has won her second diploma in Nose work TSM2.  Congratulations and very well done to team Luna and Jakke!

On Saturday we had a great day together with a bunch of puppybyers and their owners. We had rented an indoor dogarena and had Malin Gregebo come and teach us about how to work with them for balance and strength. All the dogs got to try several different balanceballs and stools. I hope you all got inspired o continue this at home! Thank you Malin for once again sharing your knowledge with us!

Kadamo Red Strawberry Moon "Kiara"  8 months old from the Red-litter (Penny x Wilson) attended one of two show at My Dog in Gothenburg this weekend.  It was 7 puppies entered and she placed Best Bitch with HP and Best of Breed. The judge Veli-Pekka Kumpimäki, Finland, thought very highly of her and gave her a very lovely critique. 
Congratulations to owner/handler Sara!

On Sunday it was time for the last show of the year in Sweden, the Swedish Winner Show 2025. This year judged by Karl Eddie Berge, Norway. 
I started off by showing NORDW-24 SEW-23 EUJW-23 NORDJW-23 NORDW-23 SEJW-22 SEW-22 CIB-J SEVCH SEUCH FINCH NOUCH DKUCH RLDN RLDF
Kadamo Can Y' See It Now  "Leo" in championclass where he placed 2nd with CQ. After that I showed my own boy SEUCH FINCH NOUCH SEVCH NOJW-17 NORDJW-17 FINJW-17 HEJW-17
HEW-17 Amatonga's Golden Boy to Kadamo "Colin" for the very first time in Veteranclass since he is now over 9 years old. I have not shown Colin much, it has been only three shows since 2019! So it was most definetely time to dust the old man off! 
Colin was so happy to be in the ring, constant wagging tale took him all the way to classwinner with EXC, CQ and Veteran CACIB.
My own bred boy SEVW-23 NORDVW-24 SEVCH Kadamo Always Aiming High "Django" placed 2nd also with EXC. 
Time for Best Male where both Leo and Colin was picked out for placement. Colin made it all the way to 2nd Best Male and Leo finished 4th. 
Time for the girls and we only had SEW-24 SEW-23 SEW-22 SEJW-22 NOW-23 NOJW-23 NORDJW-23 SEUCH NUCH Kadamo Force of Nature "Penny" with us. This was her first show since her litter she has in May (Red-litter). Penny was shown in Championclass and recieved Excellent but was unfortunately not placed.
The judge gave out only few Excellents, in some classes not even one, so getting Excellent on all my dogs participating felt good!
Colin won Best Veteran because the Best veteranbitch had not recieved Excellent. 
I decided to not stay for the finals so we just enjoyed some shopping and then headed home.
