| 26.10.2009 Our autumn
went by hunting |
| We began our fall's hunting in 20.8. First
ones were elkhound Maximus and our canadian import, plotthound Brite.
Our goal was finnish brown bear; this year we did not get it, but
we got nice works to bear from both of our dogs. Maximus passed
also bear hunting exam during this fall. |
Our setters Leo and Jason
began their season in September and we got nice experiences to both
of them, also some grouses were shoot to their work.
Our young elkhounds Juno and Jada started their fall wondering what
to do :) Jada have seen elks one time and barked them for 5 minutes.
That's a start for 7 months old girl!

Juno started her working a week ago by following elks about 1
km, where the elk got shooted. Yesterday Juno showed what she
is made of by finding elks from 1,9km away and followed them 4
km and also barked them about one hour. One of elks got shooted
to Juno's work.

| 4.1.2009 Good new
year 2009! |
The year changed.. Last year was heartbreaking
for us; we lost our Roona in Spring 2008 and Novi in Fall 2008.
Last year we got new family member to us: swedish elkhound girl
Juno. In this year we are planning to start our showing and hunting
with her. We are also following how her sister Gaia and brother
Ares are doing. These littermate's big brother Maximus got his Working
Champion title last year; that is a great goal to these little elkhounds
too ;)
Last year Jason became a dad to two litters; one in Russia and one
in Finland. This year Jason is about to come a dad one more time.
After that we continue to follow how these little setters are developing.
We want to congratulate all of puppies owners; we are very proud
of Jason's puppies!!
|

Well, you never know how things goes.. So time
will tell if our plans will come true. Anyhow, we will inform
everything in these website. We are also hoping to get a new
member to our family during this year ...if everything goes
well..We will let you know :)
