10 December, Finnish Winner Show, Helsinki.
Today Mr Espen Engh, Norway, judged the 31 entered PHs. We were especially happy since his Best Of Breed turned out to be our Ikaros/Plupp, and even more so, as Espen was very excited over Plupp. 

His critique was a oneliner to dream of, but reality today, as he wrote: "An exceptional dog. They don't come any better than this." Also to much joy for us was the fact that Best Bitch 2nd, with CC and reserve CACIB, (which will turn into CACIB eventually) was our wild child who's finally getting serious: Ch Farao Anubis Nemesis Divina, "Blondie", only beaten by Finland's Top PH last year. Blondie with this also gained her Finnish Championship! 
Her critique: "Strong well constructed bitch, stands very well on her feet, could be a little more refined, strong classical head, very good ears. Strong neck. Plenty of angulation both ends. Deep capacious, well proportioned body. Excellent legs and feet. Excellent coat and colour. Very sound coming and going, moves with purpose and drive from the side." 
Plupp's Finnish son Northgate's Burning Sky "Jazz", a very handsome young man, was BOB puppy! Pictures from the show, coming.
