13.9.12 Trip to Spain, and Speciality Show
It was time to take Kramer back home. We started our journey at Thursday, 13.9. and we travelled through Frankfurt to Portugal, to Porto.
Kramer's owner Luis Matilla Besada came to pick us up from Porto. We still had 250 km driving journey ahead. Kramer was his own self and he didn't mind the flight, but was nicely at the car also. After 1,5 hour sleep and all the travelling we were at last in our destination, Lalin, Spain. The hotell was great and all the Spannish people were so kind. We Finnish have a lot to learn.
At the next day was Club Show. The judge was speciality judge, American Akita breeder Beverly Vicks from USA. I was honoured to be able to show Kramer at the show. He was placed third at his class. Kramer's offspring achieved a lot and finally his offspring group was placed first.
We saw lot of great dogs and met such a nice people. Gorgeous Simba, Multi CH Bliss Ying Tao Thunder, melted everybodies harts, including mine. He was BOB.
In the pictures are Nacho Karballino & great SIMBA.
After the show we went to dinner in a very personal, Irish style restaurant, which had Celtic pictures on walls. The restaurant was really amazing with great atmosphere. The food was also great. All our new friends from the day's show joined us at the restaurant. We were honoured to sit with the judge at the same table and hear lot of information about the breed and it's evolvement in America.. We also heard about feeding and how important is make good linings. Spanish people are really hospitable and the night was memorable.
At the next day we started our journey back to home. It was really sad to leave Kramer, he is such a wonderful boy. Both of us cried. Our friends Dulce and Jose took us back to Porto where we spend one night at a hotel with our new Spanish macho man Phantom! Of course we couldn't leave empty handed and because we couldn't took the sun with us, we got a wonderfull teddy bear Phantom. He is staying with us one year at Finland. Thank you Jose and Dulce for a great teddybear :) We left back to Finland, but we'll meet again!
Thank you all our friends at Spain how made our trip possible and memorable. Special thanks to Manel, Luis, Francisco, Dulce and Jose.
And huge thanks to Kata here at Finland :)

One of year's higlights is over - the Speciality. Midian's got mainly excellent and some of them was placed at their classes, so I'm very happy, specially with the judgements. Kuma was the best Midian's dog with best junior, I'm very pleased. Kramer was nicely placed third at males, which was a good placement at tough competition. It was a good end to Kramer's shows at Finland. Now we are moving on towards Spain trip and it's speciality which we are participating.
Thank you all for being at the show. Even thought the weather wasn't the best, the event was really nice again. Thank you judge and good luck to all succeeded.

"head" judge. The head is one of the most important things in this breed, it should be enough big, teddy bear like. I don't care at all too skinny heads American Akitas and it sure shows in my breedings.
Congratulations Jenni and Roxy for her cac! Just wonderful!
Thank you judges.
This year I didn't enter the shows. I just didn't had the energy remembering the last sawo-show at 2010 with Heidi and 9 dogs. Not this time, thanks ;)

It has been a pleasure and honour to work with great Kramer. He has a stonning appearance and his personality is something so wonderful. A magnificent male indeed.

Midian's Zumba "Zumba"
My chocolate darling got her champion title first thing when she turned into 2 years. There have been a lot of success to the young girl, like speciality victory at 2011, TOP20 competition victory this year and all the other victories at breed rings, groups and BIS-rings. Zumba is still very playfull so there are lots of "zumbing" (after her name) to see. We hope to breed her at this winter. Time will tell if what's going to be, but her health results are high quality also. Thank you Kata for you help with handling etc.
Thank you all judges.

Thank you Timo for handling my Geisha.

Unna (Midian's Ginger) desided to clim in to a bookshelf :D She is energic girl who climbs and jumps into anything and reaches everywhere,
or so I think.. She has grown fast - she is already taller than Tetsu, but of course she is still lighter. Unna starts to show some teenager
behaviour and she likes to make up all kind of little stuff to us. Sometimes she doesn't hear anything we say. With Tetsu they are having a lot of fun.
unny days to you!

Dara veteran lady surprised by being second with BOB-veteran price and at the end won all the veterans by being Best in show- Veteran, so wonderful.
Greeting to Dara’s breeders Riitta and Heikki!
Ando, Mökö, Tytti ja Pilvi all got excellents and Ebba and Lola got exc with sq and were third and fourth best bitches.
Congratulations to all Midian’s dog-owners!
Breeder-group was a little mixed this time, because I let girls from Pori leave early to home due to a minor accident... So I took different colors and types to group. We did still got hp and bob-breeder price.
I showed group in big ring, but there was no placement this time, which was not a surprise when looking the group.
Thanks to judge.
Unfortunately there are no pictures available, only BIS-veteran picture, taken by Pauli Äijälä.

What a trip, alone with 5 dogs. Weather was ok when driving, although the road to Kajaani is always the same;
icy and boring with just forest everywhere but I made it. On show place Saturday there was only a couple familiar faces,
but luckily two girls helped me with the dogs. Warm thanks to you both.
Alvaro was handsomely best of breed with cacib and Rusty was bob-veteran and to my surprise third best male.
Though Rusty was too thin, because he hadn’t been eating after a visit from a girlfriend and he spent all the time just crying after love…
Old boy got all messed up by a pretty girl. I hope there will be a beautiful litter coming to Talpeak kennel.
Thank you judge.
After the show I left with my dogs to the hotel, with a help of local woman. I forgot my navigator at home in the early morning rush…
so no help with that this time.
Thank you to my assistant, who drove in front of me to hotel.
Saturday I gave Cayenne at her new owner, Nina. Good luck with young girl and let’s hope many nice show moments and success! Future will show what will become of her.
On Sunday there was much more friends, so I didn’t have to spend my time by myself. After breakfast I left to the show place.
There was already friends waiting and helping for me. Very nice Sunday went by fast and the dogs did well also. Ando was in great shape and
got both res-cac and res-cacib this time. Just a little bit bummed, but can’t help it. Good luck Joni and Marjo, handsome male!
Hiro had become more like man and moved great. This time boy got very good…congratulations Sari, you presented Hiro nicely.
My own girls were third and fourth on bitches, thank you jugde.
Another show trip over… No pictures, except one of Rusty, who was very tired after Saturdays show as was I :)
Congratulations to all who succeeded in Kajaani and thank you to all my friends for a fun weekend!

Welcome new year 2012
We thank all of your friends, Midian's dogs owners and co-oper. people for the passed year.
Last year was very misfortune. At the beginning of 2011 we had to survive with a terrible cold weather, over -30 degree Celsius with all the snow. Long, cold periods with dogs gave us a lot of work to do. We had to take dogs inside the house from time to time. I was very tired at spring, I wouldn't take any more of that coldness. Luckily the summer was warm.
First the bad things. Few loved dogs went to rainbow bridge, puppy plans didn't work, we got only one AA litter. My 17 years long work came to an end at November and at the end of the year my dear mother passed away suddenly. Last year was extremely heavy and I'm trying to survive from it one day at a time.
There were also good things, but less. For now I have a job, so that is a best cure to my sorrow. I have made new puppy plans to American Akitas. I think the 2 gorgeous litters to Beagles are the final litter for that breed, for now. Beagles are a wonderful, but I'm concentrating my energy to American Akitas which is my first goal. I have a very promising AA at home, Yami is imported from Denmark. We'll see what the future brings along with this gorgeous breed. Of course there are some nice results from show rings and I'm very happy for those placements.
Midian's dogs didn't went to shows too often last year, but here are some great results: 2 Finnish Champions, 1 Belarus and Russian Champion, 1 Estonia, Latvija and Lithuanian Junior Champion, and 1 Poland Junior Champion. Midian's dogs also got 23 CAC's, some of them are from abroad and some are junior CAC's. 16 best of breed, 10 best opposite sex, some group placements, Zumba's Best In Show 4 placement at breed's Speciality and Darken's Best In Show victory at Poland. Unfortunately I don't know all the results from my dog's offspring at abroad.
Puppy rings were Midian's Zumba "Zumba", Senseo I Am Yours "Yami", Midian's Asking To Boogie "Puuki" and at Poland Midian's Ask'n Finigan To Tango "Darken" celebration.
From Midian's dogs I heighten Zumba who has Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania junior champion titles, group placements, BIS-junior placement,
speciality's victory, BIS-4 placement, some CAC's and BOB & BOS victories. Zumba won also best tail competition at speciality.
Midian's Talk About Love "Tytti" finished her Finnish Championship title and so did Midian's Quiet Black Bear "Mökö".
At Poland the great Darken, Mdian's Ask'n Finigan To Tango had a lot of great success and at Russia the beautiful Lora, Midian's Zulu
achieved also many victories.
American Foxhound Midian's Abril Kiarry was successfull at show rings and was Denmark's TOP1 American Foxhound.
Hansom Han, Midian's Unique Bear got himself quite a line of titles. Han is Baltic, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia junior Champion and
Latvia, Estonia, Russian, Baltic and By Champion.
Huge congratulations to all!
I entered few shows with my American Foxhounds with great results. This year I attend more shows when the young ones has developed better and better. We are in no rush with growing dogs.
I hope luck and success to great puppies who were born last year. I hope we hear about them this year and I hope I will see some of them at shows. And I hope all the owners are happy with their new family members. Don't forget to send me pictures and greetins!
Thanks Emppu for updating my websites, there were lot of work again.
Thank you my friends and relatives for your support. Last year was hard, but I hope this year brings more joy and my misfortune retreats.
Health, joy and success to the year2012!
