December 5, Helsinki Winner Show 2004!
Almost 30 PH entries under the great judge Luis Pinto Texeira, Portugal. I'm of course very proud and happy for my young Ikaros "Plupp's" first big win! BOS, winner-title and Finnish CC, and second foreign CACIB, now he just need two Swedish CACIBs for his INTCH title! Finally Plupp has got it all together and started to show like the superstar in making he is:-) 
Both BOB & BOS wins are Cruft's qualifier at this show.

September 17, Our new litter is born!
They are here! The TEN little rascals, five males and five bitches, out of Lileo's Orpheus "Rufus" and Ch Farao Anubis Nemesis Divina "Blondie". They were born very fast, it took just 7-8 hours for all ten to be born!  They are very beautiful, and in a wide range of shades and types. Some are little Rufuses, some Ramsans and some Swedish looking, and three little blondes. They come in all PH-shades, from light blonde to dark reds. Four have white tail tips. All have very little white on chests, most won't be seen at all when adult. Some none white at all. More photos at "Next Litter" page!

Blondie finally decided for puppy box, after running from, and trying, two mesh-fabric-crates, one which I could fit in as well, to help her, and MY bed (not allowed to do it there), and sofa, and armchair. One was born in the huge mesh-crate. 

Nice people, who can offer a pup a wonderful and loving home, are welcome! A few puppies still available.

September 10, Dessie almost there at LC!
Dessie got two of the three required coursing runs, for her license to compete at trials! Last third lap have to wait until her 18 months day. Dessie runs light and fast, and understood exactly what to do from first try ever! Quite a natural talent, who I'm sure will be a real threat at trials next spring!
