Senseo I Am Yours "Yami" Puppy Class 1 HP BOB-puppy
Midian's Zumba "Zumba" INTERM. EXC-2 SQ
This years winner shows I decided to take easy, with only two dogs from one breed :) Last year's trip with 5 dogs all by myself was so awful that this year I only signed two dogs.
Yami was best of breed puppy both days with wonderful comments from the judges. Zumba didn't have full coat, but I was entered her so I took her along anyway. Althoug intermedia class is a kind of bad class between juniors and adults (open) classes.
At Saturday Zumba won her class and at Sunday she was second. Both of the days she got excellent with SQ. At Sunday we got a "zumba day" at the ring... Zumba doesn't like at all these two-day shows. Well, you shouldn't take too seriously these shows, she is still a young dog. Now she can grow her coat till spring and we'll see her next beauty competitions then. Bold "bikini-look" we have seen now.
I handled Finland's most successfull American Akita male, owner/breeder Päivi Silomäki, the hansom Kallionahteen Kulkuri "Krossari" at the ring.
At Saturday we were third and Sunday fourth best male. Not bad because the top males were really good, like their handlers. Next year Krossari will be
a father to one of my litter if everything goes like planned. Krossari is very nice and sweet boy.
Thanks to judges.
Thank you my friends for the nice weekend. And the most I thank Sini with all the help at this weekend. She worked just great... We had many funny things with some troubles, of course... My new great purple show cart didn't fit to my car, etc. Luckily Rantamäki's couple took it the their car and I will get it later. Warm thanks to my "cocker time" friends. Thank you Sini and Timo to letting me crash at your place this weekend. Your new house and yard was great. Nice to live there with children and dogs.
Congratulations to all dogs with new titles, I'm so happy that this years shows are over!
Here is some photos taken by Maarit Haavisto and Sini Vartiainen. Thanks for the pictures.

Sunday
Midian's Zumba "Zumba" INTERM. EXC-2 SQ BB-4
Me and my aunt went to Jyväskylä international show. We didn't have any bigger expectations with only half-coated Zumba girl.
A coat is very important thing to an American Akita. If there is no under coat the appearance changes dramatically.
Zumba did great still and at Saturday she was 3th best bitch and at Sunday after her circus number 4th best bitch. I don't know what happened
but at Sunday Zumba didn't performe at all, she just jump around. The audience and the the judge was having fun, I wasnt. You should really
think how to name your pets... Nomen est Omen. Let's Zumba...
Thank you my friends for a funny day and greetings to Russia, Julia and Olga. Congratulations Pena's offspring success at Saturday.
Unfortunately there are no pictures.
Thanks to judges.
Greetings from Russia!
There are Pena's beautiful daughter (Virgine Tender Girl) in the pictures. She has a lot of success from shows and she is now Russian, Georgia, Bulgarian, Macedonia and Serbian Champion, Balkan Winner, best female at Nippo Dow Show 2011 and Americanakita Golden Cup Italy 2011.
Pena's hansom boy Hard (Wildbear Human Heart) has also been successfull and he is now Russian, Serbian and Bulgarian Champion.
My friend Julia Strekoza is these dogs breeder. Thank you Julia for the pictures. You can see more pictures of Niko's, Brawley's and Sagu's

Thank you all for a lovely weekend here in Ostrobothnia. It was truly wonderfulto see so many friends!
Shows went quite good, better than I even dared to expect in home field;) Well...
Zumba made a fool of herself in the ring with her tricks, but never mind because young lady has many opportunities in
the future and it can't be always fun. Maybe the trip to show was too short, only 10 km and all there was still energy to jump around.
Second place on bitches was excellent on that behavior. Dara grandma was stylish and she was BOB-Veteran.
Handsome males Arco and Pedro got both excellent and also beautiful Geri. Good luck on the next shows.
Thank you to the judge.
American foxhounds Alvaro and Weezer won very elegantly. Alvaro got CAC, CACIB and BOS and he's mother Weezer won the breed with CACIB. Many thanks to my friend Reetta for handling. Thanks also to the very professional judge.
Thank you Reetta for a super fun weekend. We got many different tasks done here at my dog camp ;) Congratulations on great success to Suski and Reetta on Valtti's Group Win. Awesome!
Shows for this year are about run out. Just a couple important trips to go :) And then it's time to start planning for next year's challenges... alias "vacation from shows, please".
Shame that we were so lazy this time with the camera and the only pictures we have are from fabulous Arco (Midian's Zorro). Thank you owner Sofia Boij for pictures and for the great handling to Sofia's sister, unfortunately I forgot the name already.
Greetings from USA!

Kulmakuusen Madara "Dara" VET EXC1 BOB-veteran
The long waited American Akita Specialty Show was here! I spent Friday night and Saturday morning washing and grooming dogs. I had 5 dogs of my own entering, Yami puppy, Zumba junior, Geisha Intermediate, Lola Champion and Dara in Veterans...Almost only bitches this year, because all the males at home had no coat.
Everything started to look good on Saturday and the plan was to be in Heinola by evening, there were my friends waiting with their motor homes and all for me and Heidi to arrive. Heidi was already driving to my place when I had to call her that our schedule might change... Irina was starting to give signs that the puppies were coming. So I had to spent the Saturday - Sunday night making sure everything would be okay. After 5 puppies my team at home promised to look after the rest and we finally were able to leave for the show. All together Irina had 7 puppies and everything went great.
We drove the whole night with our dog carrier to Heinola. My van freezes in every uphill road and we were there at early Sunday morning. Sorry my friends, but this time nothing went as we planned. It would have been something, if I was to be somewhere in time... It's funny how most of these show trips have the way of going wrong just when you are about to start the car. Well at least I was feeling good... some of the friends looked not so good in the morning...so the party must have been good ;)
We had 9 dogs with us, so it was quite a job to walk them all before the show and we got about one hour of sleep. Pretty hard, but it's normal that you don't get much sleep on dog show weekends. We are a pair of commandos with Heidi.. this was nothing compared to the weekend we had in Kuopio last year, where we spent 3 days in +30 degrees Celsius in one small tent with the same amount of dogs or more...we almost died in that heat. So good that it wasn't hot this time.
And now about the actual topic,
Show was judged this year by prestigious Scottish breeder Chris McLean / Melodor Akitas.
Unfortunately I don't have any better introduction of the judge, but link to her homepage can
be found from my links. There you will find how successful she has been with her Akitas,
not only in shows and handling but also in breeding.
There were 66 American Akitas entered in the show. Puppies 13, males 19 and bitches 34. Chris judged professionally, she was also very pleasant and sympathetic. Have to say that at least on my dogs she found good and bad sides of the dog, the same qualities as I know. Overall my dogs succeed was quite good, when taking into consideration how young most of them were. Amazing as it was Zumba won it all, being BOB and in the end Best In Show-4 judged by Juha Putkonen! Zumba also won the extraclass "Best Tail". Zumba is still a Junior and her coat wasn't even all back yet, so I am extremely thankful to Chris on this victory. Feels amazing to win Specialty Show once again. Dogs from Midian's have won the Specialty Show many times, males or bitches.. So that if anything makes me want to keep going on with this lovely breed and continue breeding.
Dara was Best Of Veterans. Dara is mother, grandmother or great-grandmother of many of my dogs,
that are International Champions. For example Zumba's great-grandmother.
Yami won baby-puppies male-class and performed like he had been always in the ring. You wouldn't
have guessed it was he's first time in dog show.
Lola was 3rd in Champion-class and Geisha got "very good" because of her head. The head will still
develop and I know It will never be the kind that my dogs usually have, because I'm used to the
American-head. As a whole Geisha is a very beautiful dog; body, movement and structure are gorgeous
and she will give me qualities for sure, which I will be needing in my future breeding. And there are many
judges that will like her.
My co-owned dogs Pedro and Emma didn't have the best day.. Emma's two lopsided teeth dropped her.
Reason for Pedro's "very good" we don't know, cause it didn't come clear from the critique. Good luck
on future for Hanna and Kata, this was only one show.
I was the only one who had the chance for Breeder-class, but I said to one of my dogs owner that they can absolutely leave, because they had a sick child home. So this year there were no Breeder-class awarded. It wouldn't have been so important anyway, because I've won it many times before and the types and colors of the dogs were so different among each other.
Best of luck to all who succeeded, especially to Sisu and owners for BOS. Thanks to all you owners of Midian's dogs who came to this show..there were so many of you. Warm thank you to Chris on my dogs success, all your encouraging words and of course Whisky, that she gave to the winner as a personal gift. Can't bare to open it :) And thank you Juha Putkonen for Zumba's BIS-placement.
Thank you friends for all your help, and to all you who helped me with handling (don't even remember all you...) my dogs and keeping up a good spirit. Thank you Sini for the cake, it was so good and looked great. Thanks also to Hanna for good pastries, they were delicious. Extra trophies were made possible by Suvi and Jari / Mikkelin Ykköspalkinto, thank you for those! We donated trophies together for every dog which had EXC and HP. Thank you Heidi for everything, it was a hard weekend but we did it again. For pictures I thank Mika and Maarit! Hope everybody got their thank you's who were supposed to get them and thank you all who congratulated me in Heinola, on email and on facebook.
Yippeeee, next year we have our very own Specialty Show, just for American Akitas, which brings along many new extra competitions / classes and prices.

We left early with Hanna and dogs to drive to Sastamala. I would have wanted to stay in bed.. but this hobby is this. Rings are usually at the morning,
long distance means lot of driving etc.. We ate breakfest at Shell and the mood grew.
It wasn't pointless trip. Mine and Hanna's co-owned boy Pedro was second male with CAC, congratulations Hanna. My bred male Romeo was third male with Res-CAC.
Congratulations Saila.
Kallionahteen Kulkuri was BOB and finally BIS-2. Congratulations. Junior girls didn't get much from the show. Judge liked coat, but it was changing..
I think girls can develope a little bit before next shows.
Zumba shine again. She was best female, BOS with CAC... Olavi's other daughter from kennel Tamozen was second best female. Congratulations Katri!
These half sisters were the only females who got SQ and could compete with cac. Thanks all my friends, it was fun day. Hanna and I laughed all the way back home,
like always. Thanks Mika Tuomola for your quality photos. Some of the photos are my own.
Thanks to judge.

These baby foxes starts to be in that developing period when it's okey to start showing them. A little growing time was in place.
Next year will show what kind of success we will get... I still need to practice ring behaviour with them, but there are lot of inprovements happen since
Kajaani ;) Which was a sircus. I handled Paavo's Lilli-Beagle in the ring, and she was best female with BOS. So really successful day behind! Thanks Kati
for the photo help and company, it was nice to talk with you.
Thanks Paavo and of course thanks to the judge who knows the breed.
BIG NEWS
I have imported a new male puppy at the beginning of this summer, of course from Denmark from Heidi and Anders, kennel Senseo. Thank you so much for this opportunity!
Welcome to Finland Senseo I Am Yours "YAMI"!!
Yami's father is the great Senseo It Feel So Right "Matrix" who is now in second place at Dannish dog show competition. Last year Matrix won JW-10 and W-10 titles from Finland and he has several group and BIS placements. He was Best in Show puppy at World Dog Show 2010.
Yami's mother is gorgeous and successfull NordJW-08 DK CH Redwitch And Why Not "Kelly". I think I don't have to tell any more about Yami's magnificent pedigree, because everyone knows it's full of quality dogs. We will see what the future brings and how Yami developes.

My show break is over and I started with 2 days show. One would have been enough... I took Roope and Zumba (american akitas) and Alvaro (american foxhound) with me to the shows.
Shows went great with my friends. Sandra came all the way from Riga with Han (Midian's Unique Bear). Han is super sweet and calm male, a true American Akita. I loved him so much and I hope to see puppies with Han and a suitable female. His pedigree is great.
Both of the boys, Han and Roope, got 'very good', but our miss Zumba won females, got herself a CAC and was BOS. Alvaro (Am. Foxhound)
was BOB with CAC at saturday, so we didn't need to go home with empty hands :) The only reward you got from hard work with dogs, is a success and friends,
new and old ones. Reetta and Suski, congratulations Alaskan Malamute Valtti's success! Big thanks for all your help Reetta!!
Thanks to the judges.
Warm thanks to Minna and Pasi for letting me crash at your place. Good luck with Tetsu (M. Eternal Sunshine) and new baby sister (M. Ginger). Tetsu will be a great big sister.
The next night we spend with my friends Sini and Simo... and we had a great time, good food with all the laughing. The pink grill is Top1 thing ;) Thank you Sandra for the nice cake, we enjoyed it :) Thanks Simo for being our cook and helping with all the show things, I wouldn't make it by my self.

Mökö got his last CAC and became new Finnish Champion with BOS placements. Great, congratulations Heidi!
Our dannish beauty Geisha was best of breed with CAC. My co-owned boy Pedro, Pena's son, got very good because he's still a puppylike
and needs more practise. Judge was quite hard, but I liked a lot of his arguments. Hanna, next time with better luck. Pedro is a stunning young male
with lovely temperament and color.
Thanks to judge. Only these photos were good.

This was Zumba's first show in junior class and she was wonderful. Zumba is just over 9 months old and she was best of breed in both days, and she was also placed in group. BIS junior competition wasn't held at saturday and at sunday Zumba wasn't placed at junior group finals. But she was successful at group finals with adults and that was great. Paavo was best opposite sex at saturday, and with certificate he finished his championship title. This was great because he wasn't at his best coat.
Big thanks to Kata and Sini who took Zumba and Paavo along. Also thanks to Simo, Sini's husband, who was kind enough to help the girls with their luggage and dogs. Thanks Kata for the great handling with the dogs! Well done! Thanks to judges.

Thank you Mervi for the pleasant travel companion and congratulations for Ellsa's honour prize. I'm sure these girls will have many competitions ahead and placements will change. Ellsa is very pretty girld, I liked her.
It was nice trip because I didn't have to drive at all. Mervi took care of that. Wonderful and thanks! Big thanks to Heli who let us stay night at her home and letting us use the sauna so much ;) See you again.

Outdoor hall was tricky with its different ground and foxbabies wouldn't move on it. So there were no hope to success. But critiques were promising and the judge liked Aurora more than her mother Weezer. But because she didn't lift up her head, we were in trouble. More training ahead. Structure and appearance got thanks from the judge. Next time with better luck. Weezer was best of breed with cacib.
Nothing bigger in Americanakitas. Youngers got excellent and Alice was 3rd.. I think size was the big issue here... Dogs with tall legs won here.
Trip was nice. We spend too much money at sales with Kata. Thanks for the nice trip Kata and other who we met at show. No pictures this time.

Summary of year 2010 news
First of all I want to thank all my friends and Midian's dogs owners and others from last year. Thank you all for the nice moments we have spend and thanks all the support and cheer what we have needed in passing year. Congratulations to all great achievements in life and with dogs. Take care and lots of joy to new year.
Last year gave us 4 Finnish Champions, 1 Russian Champion, 1 Lithuania Junior Champion and 1 Tracking Champion in Cockerspaniels.
Beside all the champions Midian's dogs got 21 CAC's, 9 CACIB's, 12 Best of Breed, 8 Best Opposite Sex, few group placements and one Best In Show win at Americanakita Speciality's.
X-litter collected success at Puppy shows. Midian's Xemplary was multiple BOB-puppy and placed in group and in BIS ring.
Midian's Americanakita breeder class won 8 times BOB-breeder's class, one time Best In Show 3 at Speciality and 3 times Best In Show!
And beside these, all the dogs that I have bought were also very successefull, exc. Alice and Äijä in Americanakita's and Bob and Weezer in American Foxhound's.
Big success in Midian's dogs. One is, of course, Pertti, FIN CH Midian's Piece Of Art, who was BOB in Americanakita speciality, out of 75 Americanakitas. At the end of the show, Pertti was Best In Show. Judge was respected Patricia Gilliard from USA. Pertti is now won best head -competition two years in a row (2009 and 2010). Congratulations and big thanks to owners Päivi Silomäki and Mauri Lielahti.
My co-owned girl 'Tytti' Midians's Talk About Love got 2 CAC's last year. The other CAC was from american judge at breed Speciality. Tytti also won Americanakita's Summer Show's Best In Show, beating 29 other Americanakitas. Congratulations Mervi and Wilhelmiina Lehto. Well handled Wilhelmiina!
Impi, Midian's In Your Heart is like a wine - she keeps getting better while growing older. Impi finished her Finnish Champion title at older age. Congratulations to Mervi and Wilhelmiina again.
My own girls Lola and Alice had wonderful year. Both girls are now Finnish Champions and Alice was BOS at Americanakita Speciality. Thanks to Alice's breeders to Russia.
Male Mökö, Midian's Quiet Black Bear got best male placements, two CAC's, one BOB and one CACIB. Its good to go on from here. Congratulations to Heidi and good luck!
Our golder boy Äijä, Senseo Black Wizard did great at those few shows he went. Äijä won TOP 20 competition, which was a competition between most succesefull Americanakitas at 2009. Äijä got invitation to Champion of Champions gala to this year also, but he won't go. To our biggest fright Äijä has SA. Time will show does he respond to medications.
This news is like a bomb to our breed, because same dogs are behind many Americanakitas. At specially behind English lines and the most succesesfull dogs. And the scariest fact is that Americanakita is still very young breed in Finland and time brings us all kind of diseases. Specially at Finland, because we bring to light all the problems.
Midian's Urban Legent, who live in Riga, got many wins and is now at least Junior Champion. Congratulations to Han and Sandra.
We have had mostly great success at American Foxhoud rings. The breed is still very unknown and it takes time. Judges "knowledge" is very interesting in this breed. Luckily there are some judges who really know and cares about this breed. I didn't expect everything to fall right in to my arms. But with time Im sure Foxhounds gets better placements. Thanks to all for your support. And mostly I thank Bob and Weezer's breeder for these amazing dogs! Puppies still need developements but they are looking great at their age. Time will tell us more, and this year will.
I cheer, thank and congratulate all my young bred dogs and their owners to have a great year 2011.
Thanks to all my friends equally. The main thing is not shows and success, but healt, good temperament and other qualities. I appreciate them all equally and I hope your dogs have brought joy to your lifes. I hope I will hear from my dog's offsprings news along their life. Maybe with some photos to put to my websites. And it would be very nice to hear from Cockerspaniel people too. Even if the news are not good.
Promising puppies were send to lovely homes and to abroad to concure the world. Luck and success to all aspects of life!
Welcome new male "Vito" Great Flame's Fearless Midian's. This boy's breeder is Erika Häkkinen from Finland. We will tell more of him later. Vito is wonderful boy. Thank you Erika.
Year 2010 really wans't easy. There were sorrow and worries, mine and others. Lot of time was spend and with friends help things started to look better. For us the hardest thing was Niko's, Midian's Aki-Ice Diamond, passing away. Niko lived his last years at my friend Nina's family. Niko was the dog of my life and I will never have another like him. With honour he lived and died, no suffering, no pains. Thanks to Nina and her family with everything.
Year 2010 ended with dear Khan passing away. Khan suffered from lyme disease what he got from a tick. He also had thyroid hypofunction. In spite of his medication his legs didn't last and there were nothing we could do. So Khan was put to sleep. He was too young, I would have wanted to keep him for many years more. Thanks to all of you to your support and attendance for the both of the boys. Thanks Seinäjoki vet.
I hope health, luck and success to all to year 2011!
