Morris
Ok. A bit scary to run away from my human, but foolish to be caught.

Human comment
First indoor show and a really big one! We had a real episode when we came in to the exhibition hall. Morris ran away! Happily enough he got very surprised when he saw how big the place was and I was able to run to him and catch him. This is very unusual, but well timed indeed... Again we had big problems in the ring with not touching the ground (the funniest comment ever in a review!). The judge was quite hard in her reviews, if one is allowed to say that, so we were extremely happy for the placement.


11th June 2000 Salo
Judge: Rune Fagerström (Finland)

1, first in age group (young), 1st male, SA, cert (2/3), BOB
Kookas, erittäin hyvätyyppinen uros, jolla hyvät mittasuhteet. Maskul. pää, joka ei saa tulla voimakkaammaksi. Hyvä ilme. Hyvä kaula. Riittävä eturinta. Hyvin kulmautunut edestä ja takaa. Hyvä rintakehä. Kokoon nähden sopiva luusto. Hieman pehmeät ranteet. Hyvä väri ja merkit. Ei parhaassa karvassa tänään. Esiintyy ja esitetään hyvin.

Morris
They say I did well. The reward was assumingly that we could stay for a few hours extra. We were in a park and I go to run a lot. Always fun to run.

Human comment
First BOB. Great feeling. Had to wait a few hours for the FCI groups. Unfortunately we had no success there, but it was a nice day, so it wasn't really that bad, and a good experience too.


18th June 2000 Karjaa
Judge: Gitta Ringwall (Finland)

1, second in age group (young), 2nd male, SA
Hyvät mittasuhteet. Kauniisti hoid. turkki joka tänään niukka. Hyvä kallo-osa, hieman jyrkkä otsapenger. Hyvä ilme. Hyvät lavat, raajat ja käpälät. Hyvä selkä, kulmaukset ja häntä. Hyvä rotunsa edusta. Hyvin lupaava nuorten luokan uros. Erinomainen luonne.

Morris
Took the wrong clothes to the show, but the judge was nice to me.

Human comment
Karjaa is where I graduated from high school, so it was a little bit nostalgic and also strange to come with your dog to a place you normally came to run to. Now it was Morris' turn to run...

Judge: Kirsi Nieminen (Finland)

1, first in age group (young), 1st male, SA, BOB, Best in Show (3 breeds: lab, flat, nsdtr)

Human comment
This was really something. There were only 3 tollers, but lots of labradors and quite a few flat coated retrievers too. It was amazing that we won the show. The coat was given a finishing touch by Riika. Thank you, Riika! The judge was btw the same as the one at our first official show.
