13.01.2010 Happy New Year!

Successful New Year 2010!

Year 2009 was very special because of the puppies after Ruska and Athos. It has been pleasure to hear and see how fine homes puppies did get. Puppies has been healthy, which is very important. Every puppy has had contacts with game, and quite a few has already pointed a bird, retrieved a shooted mallard and worked with small predators. Breeder can only be very pleased and happy. Every puppy has got potential to be a fine hunting dog in the future.

In june we will have a litter meeting. Main theme for that meeting will be water work training. In the end of september it´s time for Junkkari in Lapua Ostrobothnia. Junkkari is an annual survey for continental pointing dogs under 2 years of age. On one day dogs appearance will be checked by dog show judges, who are specialised in pointing dogs. On the other day it´s time for hunting test. Let´s hope that as many as possible from Metsänhoitajan A-litter will take part.
