In Helsinki International May the youngster Adamant's Blowing Free took BOB, and Adamant's Dreams Are Free had lost her coat and partly (but just partly) disappeared from winning circle for some summer months.
Anyhow we only had 4 entries in ESS Speciality in June, so we had to take 'bikini' Frida with to complete our breedersclass..which went to BOB and BIS-2!!!
The day was an unforgettable one otherwise too for us, since Adamant's Golden Boy took BOB out of 90 entries and later on he went to Best in Show!!! Judge was breed specialist Ron Billows from country of breeds origin, UK. Our young import With Touch Holy Moses went to BIS junior, and Adamant's Blowing Free took prestigious 3. place in Best Dog and special award for BEST MOVER!

Kotka International All breed show was held soon after ESS speciality in June, and the success continued.
Now Adamant's Superman and Adamant's Dreams Are Free took the lead and won BOB, BIG-4, and BOS. But the highlight of the day for us was certainly the magnifiecent Best in Show breeders class win in Special ring!!!

Highlight of July was all the International Symposium weekend in Tammsvik, Sweden!
First day there was a huge Club Show, and our co owned Melverly Violetta took CC and BIS of Open Class entries under breed specialist Marie Merchant, Australia!!!
