Because he is completely amazing, Leevi again earned another two titles today, this time in agility at the Frankston Dog Obedience Agility Games trial.

He gained the last quallies he needed for both his Strategic Pairs Dog (SPD) title and his Gamblers Dog (GD) title!

​Way to go Leevi and Nicole.

The Moonstones arrive

Our Moonstone litter arrived very early this morning.  Born to Kajo (Armahani Heliodorr Hohdo (AI)) who is the sister to our handsome boys Benni and Tortik, and from Alaska (Am Gr Ch Aus Ch Teelikamentten Iikka (Imp Fin)) a boy who I co-owned before he moved to the USA several years ago, we are excited about the possibilities of this combination.

We have four little girls and one noisy boy, all doing very well.  All black tanpoint. They will have photos updated on their page in the Current Puppies page shortly.

​All pups are spoken for at this stage.

Best Aus Bred in Group for Uno

10/11/2019

With the need to arrange the ‘custody swap’ for Loki this weekend, I took the opportunity to have a final show weekend before the Moonstones arrive, taking Baby (CIB Am Ch Aus Ch Calaban’s Dirty Dancing RE ET JC (Imp USA)) and Uno (Armahani Jade Jalokivi) to Echuca.

​It was a weekend of far too little sleep and way too much driving (given I had to do the back and forth) and not without its dramas with the grass seeds littering the ground resulting in me having two limping dogs in the group specials ring for the first show.

But wasn’t without its success with 3x BOBs for Baby and 3x DCCs and 2x RUBOBs for Uno, as well as a Best Aus Bred in Group at yesterday afternoon’s show.

A great Cup weekend

After Baby’s big success on Saturday, and a rest day on Sunday, it was the boys’ turn to shine for our second and third days of showing for the Cup Weekend.

Yesterday was the Vic Women’s Dog Club, which is my ‘non handler’ show of the year. A big thanks to Rachael Holloway for handling Avicii (Armahani Lapis Lazuli Lurjus), Tortik (Sup Ch Armahani Heliodorr Halu (AI) RA JC) and Baby (CIB Am Ch Aus Ch Calaban’s Dirty Dancing RE ER JC (Imp USA) for me, and to Alex Mulady for doing such a great job with Loki (Ch Armahani Jade Jylha) taking him to 1st in his class in very good company!

With an entry of 30, Tortik took BOB, and was shortlisted in group. Avicii also, in a huge minor puppy group was shortlisted down to the final 4.

The highlight though, would have had to be watching Rachael and Benni (Sup Ch Armahani Heliodorr Hulivili (AI) ET) compete in Battle of the Ashes (a sweepstakes just for all breeds Best in Show winners) and gaining a spot in the final!!
​
Today was the Sunbury Canine Club, where it was Loki’s turn, taking BOB with a entry of 26.

Baby goes Runner Up Best in Specialty Show

Yesterday was the Finnish Lapphund Club of Victoria's 8th championship specialty show. We had an awesome entry of 82 lappies, and the added excitement of having breed specialist Elaine Short (UK) of Glenchess Kennels here to judge.
With Tortik and Benni "benched" for the day (Elaine being the breeder and owner of their sire), it was up to Baby! And she didn't disappoint....

Bitch Challenge & Runner Up Best in Show ⭐️⭐️
C.I.B. Am Ch Aus Ch Calaban's Dirty Dancing RE ET JC (Imp USA)⭐️
⭐️

So proud of my beautiful girl who really was on fire.

In property classes judged by Jill McDonald, Baby only competed in the one class and was also awarded Best Gaited.⭐️

Of course, it wasn't only Baby having fun in the ring, there were several of the younger Armahani kids out all placing in the top three in their classes:

Kira (Armahani Lapis Lazuli Loimuta - Best Minor Puppy in Show - graded Excellent

Avicii (Armahani Lapis Lazuli Lurjus) - Best Opposite Minor Puppy in Show - graded Excellent

Piper (Ch Armahani Kunzite Kruunu (AI) JC) - 2nd in Intermediate Bitch - graded Excellent & CQ

Leevi (Armahani Kunzite Kuutamo (AI) RA JDX HT ET JC) - 3rd in Intermediate Dog - graded Very Good

Uno (Armahani Jade Jalokivi) - 3rd in State Bred Dog - graded Excellent & CQ

Loki (Ch Armahani Jade Jylha) - 3rd in Aus Bred Dog - graded Excellent & CQ

The success for the day didn't end there. This was the forth year that the perpetual trophy for Best Owner, Breeder Handler, donated by Tonya Syme in memory of Vanessa Brotto was awarded. Tortik has won twice now, and this year I took in his son to compete under Elaine judging. I was a more than a little surprised, but incredibly proud, when he maintained the family tradition!

A big thanks to all of the Armahani owners and friends who made it down for the day, and were such a big help with wrangling, handling and providing champagne and food!!!
