Today 𝗦𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗮 had the date with 𝗔𝗿𝗶 at the best Reprovet Oy!
Insemination was done by lovely Lena Lindh with assistance of adorable Linda Neemre! Thank you so much! 😘
Now fingers crossed and thumbs up for a bunch of puppies.

🇫🇮 𝗦𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗮lla ja 𝗔𝗿𝗶lla oli tänään ”treffit” Reprovetissä. Lena suoritti inseminaation Lindan avustamana. Nyt sormet ristiin ja peukut pystyyn, jotta saisimme kasan pentuja.

Jos olet kiinnostunut tästä pentueesta, ole yhteydessä nyt, ettet myöhästy!

Varhainen sterilisaatio/kastraatio haitallista koiralle:

Varhaisen sterilisaation riski vaihtelee huomattavasti eri koiraroduissa

INT VG3

Unfortunately Kobe was first disturbed by a flock of flying birds and then by dog barks 🫣🤭 and then he didn’t want to stand still anymore. Although judge told that she liked a lot Kobe’s appearance but because of the behavior he got VG. This is how it goes sometimes.
I’m still very proud of him. 💝

”16 months old. Correct size and format. Strong head and a little dewlap. Elegant neck. Correct topline. A bit straight in shoulder and pastern joint. Correct angulation in front and rear. Powerful correct movement. He doesn’t look comfortable in ring today.”

16.7.2023 Hyvinkää NDS
judge: Paula Heikkinen-Lehkonen, FI

❤️Kwamoyo Thandazo Rosarium Moyo ”MALA”
JUN VG2

”Normally developed bitch-like body, good size. Long straight head. The under jaw should be stronger. Good eyes and ears. Size-appropriate bone strength. In good condition, muscular and solid. The fore chest still needs more stuffing. Already good depth in the chest. Strongly falling croup. Good rear angulations. Wants to raise the tail too high when moving. The coat is changing and that's why the dog seems motley. Long and symmetrical ridge. Some neck skin.”

Mala wasn’t judge’s cup of tea with her faults (still I really can’t agree with the last sentence about the skin!)
