Uudised 2018

The last show of the year for us was in Latvia, Riga, where the annual Setter Special Show of the Latvian Hunting Dog Club was held.
There were 15 entries and the judge was from Belgium: Catherine Pil.
We had only Branson with us this time, as Vicky was having her season.
Branson delighted the judge as much as getting Best male 2-nd position winning several other male competitors.
Little Seaset Storm Rider for Nattaset "Frankie" amused the judge for even more being Best baby puppy and later even BIS 1 baby puppy.
We had a nice day!
And we had lovely travel companions: Jaana with Sasha (Nattaset Meaning of Love) & Mette (Nattaset Samba Dancer), who received very lovely results too.

International Dog Show in Tartu with the judge Jos de Cuyper (Belgium) for English setters.
The English setter entry was 7, and our Vicky & Branson were the only representatives of the English type.
For some unknown reason the judge was not so pleased with Branson giving him "excellent" without CC. To the description he wrote that Branson needs more trimming from the back - should I really cut (trim) all coat from the back of the dog??? - never-ever I will do that!
Vicky had more of the luck, as her coat is much shorter. She was placed as BB1 and BOS with CACIB among other American competitors, which is a great result indeed!
This was Vicky's last CACIB needed for C.I.E. title, so she will hopefully be titled as the International Show Champion!

A week of hot weather under the sun of Jordan - what a lovely vacation!
The photos are HERE.

For a month we were entertained by little Seaset Storm Rider for Nattaset "Frankie". Oh boy, how busy month we had!
As I couldn't keep this little creature here for longer, there are only photos to remember this happy time together.
During Frankie's stay here I made a lot of lovely photos of him - some of the photos can be found here.

We visited Croatia, Split, for a week to have a short vacation under the warm sun.
Here are some photos.

Of course I did enter to Haapsalu National Dog Show with the judge from UK, Mr. Frank Kane.
Although the entry was only 3 from which 2 of my dogs: Vicky and Branson.
And, yes, we received excellent results for both: Branson being BOB and Vicky received BOS.
The icing of the cake was that Branson had the honour to be Best in Group 1 under Mr. Frank Kane.
It was such a lovely day, even it did not rain at that day in Haapsalu.

Anne-Stiina and Kaisa went to take part in the annual Estonian Setter Club Show with Branson, meanwhile I was having fun at Narva enjoying the theatre performance there.
The English setter entry was only 9 this year for the judge Diane Stewart-Richie (Ireland).
Branson, handled by and Anne-Stiina, was very lucky to receive excellent 1, Best male 1 and BOS under this strict judge.

14.07.2018
The day of the Club Show of the Latvian Hunting Dog Club with the Hungarian judge Istvan Nagy and the entry of English setters was 7.
In spite of the extremely hot day, our dogs participated well, but it was the judge, who did not like our type of English setters so much.
Branson: intermediate class "excellent" 1, CC, CAC, Best male 2;
Vicky: CH class "excellent" 2/2, CC, Best bitch 3.

08.07.2018
We drove all up to Pärnu to take part in the International Dog Show there. The judge for English setters was Mr. Paul Scanlon (Ireland) and the entry 12.
Our show duo did extremely well and the judge liked them very much.
Branson: intermediate class "excellent" 1, CC, CACIB, Best male 1, BOB, BIG3;
Vicky: open class "excellent" 2/2, CC, res-CACIB, Best bitch 2.

I am so glad to announce that our Branson will be sire of the upcoming litter in Finland:

The day of "Estonian Winner 2018" title International Dogshow at Luige near Tallinn.
Although the choice of judges has never been favouring our breed type at this show, we just keep on going there. And I cannot even find the reason why we are doing it, but it is probably out of solidarity and good hope that maybe at some time in the future the situation with inviting judges to this show will change for favouring the English type of the English setter breed.
So, it was the same at this year - we had a short but warm day at the show and were home at midday already.
The entry of English setters: 11 and the judge Zeferino Silva from Portugal.
Here are the results:
Branson: intermediate class "excellent" 1, CC, CAC, CACIB, Best male 2;
Vicky: open class excellent 3/3.
When thinking of the fact that some English setters got also "very good" remarks, we were lucky to have better results - and Branson-boy got his 2nd CACIB, which is of course a great honour for me and a credit to this lovely boy.

A small group dog show at Keila, Estonia.
After the arrangers of the show announced about the change of the judge, I decided not to go there to drive more than 100km just for fun.
It is a pity they change the announced judges just like that, and you do not even get your entry money back.
It feels the same like I would buy expensive tickets to the concert of the world famous singer, and when I go there, I only get to see and hear some local so-so band.

Now it was a time to make a short trip to Lithuania to take a part in the Moletai International Dogshow with the English setters entry consisting of 4 and the judge from Finland: Hannele Jokisilta.
Hannele Jokisilta did not like Branson so very much telling he is too big and overweight with quite a poor quality of coat, so the result was "excellent", but with no CC.
But the judge did like our Vicky enough to praise her with "excellent", CC, CAC and CACIB and BOB.
It was so hot in Lithuania, so we did not stay to wait for finals of this show and rushed back home instead.

Bournehouse Stormy Weather "Branson" needed to make the genetical health tests of PRA rcd4 and Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuszinosis (NCL) - as these tests are compulsory for dog breeding in Finland.
And we are glad to receive the results that: "The examined animal is homozygous for the wildtype-allele. It does not carry the causative mutation for rcd4-PRA in the C2orf71-gene and for NCL in the CLN8-gene."
It means he is genetically clear of these bad diseases.

A ferry trip to Finland to take part in Tampere International Dogshow with the entry of 13 English setters to the judge Mrs.Jenny Miller (UK).
What a surprise to receive BOB with CACIB to our youngster Bournehouse Stormy Weather "Branson".
It was a long day to wait for the finals of the show, and among other hunting dog breeds of FCI VII group we received nothing, but still it was a lovely and sunny day.
Bournefield New Dawn "Vicky" was presented in the open class, received the position of excellent 1, CC, best bitch 4.

We drove to Latvia again to take part in the Hunting Dog Club Special Show for FCI VII & 0 groups.
The judge invited was Mr. Tony Rainey (Ireland) and the English setter s present was 9.
Bournefield New Dawn "Vicky", presented in open class, received the position of excellent 1, CC, best bitch 2.
But our sweet boy Bournehouse Stormy Weather "Branson" was awarded as excellent 1, CAC, Best male 1, BOB.
Unfortunately we were not placed at the best of group competition this time.

I am so proud to announce that our Bournefield New Dawn "Vicky" has been awarded with the Champion title of Latvia.

And our naughty-boy Bournehouse Stormy Weather "Branson" got the Lithuanian Junior Champion title confirmed.

If I will get the Estonian Champion also confirmed to Vicky, we can go to attend Crufts with her in the future - I am so glad about that!

A weekend spent in Latvia again - this time in Riga.
We attended two International Dogshows there with the entry of 15 English setters at both of the days.
17.03.2018, the judge was Mr. Rui Oliveira (Portugal). Our show duo did extremely well receiving the both major prizes and left the other English setter entries far behind.
Bournehouse Stormy Weather "Branson": junior class excellent 1/2, junCAC, PP, best male 1, BOS;
Bournefield New Dawn "Vicky": open class excellent 1/3, CC, CAC, CACIB, BOB, BIG4.
At the FCI Group VII competition Vicky was chosen from 14 entries of different gundogs to be the 4-th most beautiful one - I am so proud of our little girl!
Branson finished his junior champion titles of all the Baltic countries and Vicky received her last CAC from Latvia which is needed for champion titles of all the Baltics.

18.03.2018 - The days are not alike: as I had also entered to the show at Sunday with the judge from Italy, Salvatore Tripoli, we decided to take part in this show also.
But of course, the American type of English setters were prevailing this day, so the judge praised our dogs with excellent, but placed Branson and Vicky to be at the last positions. How the days differ indeed!
But we could start our way back towards Estonia earlier and were home already at daylight time.

The year 2017 ended so quickly and full of all kinds of work and leisure events, that I had no time to update my homepage news during December.
Now I have made it all update, all except the photos from our Mexican trip, which I try to sort out in a few days.
The 2017 was a lovely year full of action, fun and speed, I hope and feel that the year 2018 will follow with the same amount of action.
