Life of Portuguese Waterdogs Ursa, Fera and Santos
spiced up with little lion girl Tete.
We have celebrated another birthday on 16th of May when our “little baby boy” Santos had his 4th birthday. It is curios how time really flies. It is hard to believe that it is already four years from the phone call that told us that our long wait was over. Gilda had given birth to three puppies Saaga, Santos and Dali.

Here they are on 16th of May less than a day old. Thank you Jaana for this photo!
Other event in last couple of weeks was for us already traditional Aptus International in Helsinki 22nd of May. This time I had Ursa and Tete entered. It is not very often that FCI 8 and 9 are in same day as they were in Aptus but it made easier to show both girls. Our results were nice as Ursa went for BOB veteran and Tete got r-CC and her first rosette in Finland. I have to say I am really proud of Ursa, she has been Best of Breed veteran in every show where she has been shown in veteran class.
It was lovely day in company of nice people. Thank you everyone 
Our little Fera celebrates today her 7th Birthday!
Fera and rest of our gang wishes happy birthday to all her litter sisters and brothers! Hopefully also many more to come.

Many thanks to breeder Eija and mom Geisha for this lovely and dear girl!
Our whole gang has enjoyed vacation and Eastern last week. During our vacation we have visited relatives and attended Lahti International Dogshow on both days.

Only negative side of this vacation was that it was way too short…


It has been long time for my last update and I think recap of year 2010 is in order.

· Swedish Champion
· Norwegian Champion
· Nordic Champion
· Estonian Champion
· BIG -3 in Sawo Show Finland
· Breed Clubs nr. 1 PWD male in Finland for 2010 and BOS in PWD of Year competition.

Ursa’s major achievements

· Swedish Champion
Ursa was shown only few times in 2010 and it was really amazing that she achieved her Swedish Champion title at age of 7 years and at the first try in that country. Ursa will be seen lot more in the show ring during 2011 as she celebrated her 8th Birthday at the end of November.
Fera’s achievements
Fera was shown during 2010 few times without any notable results but she started to do agility again with our friend Kati. We are really grateful for Kati as agility is one of Fera’s favourite thing!
Last but not least Tete’s achievements
Tete started her show carrier in puppy shows and November in official classes with super results

· 1xBOB puppy with HP
· 2xBOB and BOB-junior and J-CAC in Estonia
· 1x BOB-junior and J-CAC in Lithuania where she was expertly handled by Seija
Her start laid a good foundation for 2011…
I can only say that I have got wonderful
dogs so…
Thank you breeders!
