Ria
took part in her first show when she was 8 months old. That was
the Finnish Winner Show in Helsinki, the biggest show of the year
in Finland. After that we had a long break, until in July 2004 we
went to an all-breed show in Mäntyharju to get her an official
critique. After that she hasn't been shown, since junior handling
and other activities took our time, plus she isn't exactly a show
star ;)

Winner 2003, Helsinki, 7.12.2003 |
Judge:
Kari Järvinen, Finland
Result: 1st in Puppy Class
Critique:
(in Finnish only, the English translation will come soon)
Lyhyin askelin liikkuva hento kevytrakenteinen narttu. Liian
pyöreä kallo. Kevyt kuono. Lentävät korvat.
Tulisi olla paremmin kulmautunut raajoistaan. Toiv. syvemmän
rungon, paremman luuston. Kiertää häntää
liiaksi selälle. Hyvä turkki. |

Excellent type, stylish head. Full bite. Strong neck, beautiful
