    • Karoskloof B to Harjaselän "Paavo" EXC2
    • Harjaselän Karpalo "Lotta" EXC1, Jun.CC, Lithuanian Junior Winner 2004 & BOS-junior (and RES.CACIB -> she is too young for that....)
    Dalmatian Kamilkan Väinämöinen "Taavi" also did well - EXC1, CAC, BEST MALE 2 & RES.CACIB (will be confirmed as CACIB !). Uno made the first cut among huge amount of juniors, but that was all this time.  Congratulations to all equally !

For us, year 2003 was lovely as we had 2 nice litters and lot's of success in hobbies, but also very sad. I added one bad news to 2003 updates. This year has started better than 2003 ended so no bad news here.
    We would like to thank all our puppy owners for taking such a good care of our breedings and giving them a lovely home, thank you ! We also wanna wish good luck to Kyösti and his family on new homeland USA ! They will stay there for couple of years.
    Good luck to you all & your dogs in hobbies this year and we wish "fast" waiting for Siiri's and Niki's puppy buyers
