3.5.2026 TAMPERE INT.

Tampere's show was a quick one as there was only one dog, Etta. Etta performed well and received a similar review to her last. Judge Patric Ragnarson was friendly and knowledgeable like usual. Thanks again to Amanda for the presentation. Looking forward to more new shows!

19.4.2026 VAASA INT.

We attended the Vaasa International Dog Show in beautiful, sunny Spring weather. The old group was together again - Amanda, Johanna and I. The day passed in the most relaxed and cheerful spirit possible.

The day was made special by the great in-ring performance of the young Bellabellax Like The First Of Spring “Siri”. The moment brought smiles and a reminder of why we do this - having fun together and enjoying even the smallest times of happiness.

A big thank you to the Tauluvuoret for taking care of Siri and to her breeder Riitta-Leena for this shining promise for the future.

11.4. – 12.4.2026 ESTONIA TALLINN INT. TALLINN WINNER 2026

11.–12.4. we had a successful and memorable weekend at the Tallinn International Dog Show. The journey on the ship was comfortable and the experience included good food and good company.

In the rings there was great success. Cheantake Extravagant Escapade “Etta” and the old lady Willy Lee Frosted Ohio Star “Åsa” performed beautifully and received new titles as a result. The greatest achievement went to Cheantake Extravagant Escapade “Etta” whom received her new CACIB - an important step to obtaining her international C.I.B. title.

Thanks to Eija for the presentation. Thanks to Irene, Nora and Petteri for these treasures.

One unfortunate aspect of the trip was the Restaurant Ginger did not meet expectations as the food is not at previous level. The decline of this establishment was an unpleasant surprise as its location near the hotel made it an easy choice during trips.

For next time, our new goal is to find a new, high-quality restaurant near our hotel in Tallinn. It will be somewhere that is easy to get to and consistently serves enjoyable experiences.

2025 MINIATURE SCHNAUZER OF THE YEAR RESULTS

In the Miniature Schnauzer of the Year competition, our dogs Star´s Of White Night Iseland ”Alina”, Willy Lee Frosted Ohio Star ”Åsa” and Cheantake Extravagant Escapade ”Etta” achieved great results but were unable to make top place finishers this year. Nevertheless, we are really happy with our performance.

We went to these shows with several dogs with a relaxed attitude, but the most important thing was working together in a good atmosphere and having nice experiences. These times make for the best memories.

PUPPIES

On Sunday, March 1st, Väinö's ja Demi's puppies were born. The birth went as smooth as it could possibly go. Demi handled it with confidence, even though this was her first time. It has been wonderful to witness how naturally she took on the role of mother. Four puppies were born: two boys and two girls. The milking began immeidiately after.

The puppies have now doubled in weight and have been growing steadily. Demi takes good care of her little ones - washing and warmng each one. It's a joy to watch this little family and the puppies growing stronger day by day.

HEALTH NEWS

Our dog checkups for this year have started. Big thanks to veterinarian, Tuomas Illuka, our multitasker Maija and her nice staff.

PUPPIES, PUPPIES, PUPPIES

There is good news on the puppy front. After a hiatus of several years, we are finally getting winter puppies.

This litter meets the requirements set forth by the Finnish Schnauzer Club's puppy agency. We are members of this organization. Both of the parents meet PEVISA requirements. Also, both parents have had health examinations outside of the PEVISA requirements. Both dogs have won awards at shows and are lively Miniature Schanuzers. We hope that the puppies will have similiar personalities.

it should be noted that the litter is not on the breed association's puppy agency website. There are fewer inquiries as of late, possibly because of the irregular updating of the site.

We are greatly looking forward to these puppies.
