What a weekend we had! Finally Tarja (kennel Handskes) and I travelled to the Cardigan Welsh Corgi Association’s Championship show with our dogs. It was over 7000 kilometers round trip, but it was really worth of all driving! The CWCA’s 90th anniversary weekend was full of happenings, nice dogs and friendly people. The committee has done great work. Thank you all!

Fun day & Champion parade, 25.9.2016
On Sunday we had really fun team competition (Agility and Rally-O). TuTu was clever, did a nice work and her team won!
Champion parade was nice idea and all dogs got nice tokens and plates. In this parade BW Triumph Renown was handled by Johanna Flinck, BW Ken On Kultaa by Tarja Peltola and BW Catwalk by Saara Antila. Our Pontus’ dam Ch Kilvroch Enchantress was handled by Jenni Flinck.
Thank you all our friends (old ones and new ones) for making this weekend so nice!
This photo describes TuTu’s weekend – beauty and brains. We are so proud of her!
