Adamant's Dreams Are Free winning BOB, BIG, BIS-2 in Oulu International All Breed show 2-3.10.05!
She took TOP SHOW SPANIEL 2005 title with overwhelming points.
She was the only Spaniel during year to be placed as highly as BIS-2 in International All Breed show. She won amazing amount CACIBs during year: 13!!! and was BOB in 9 of them..BOS in 4. She was Group placed nearly every time when she went in to Group competition or at least shortcut in 6 best. As an icing of cake she even took BEST IN SHOW in Springer Club's Annual Specialty Show for ESS and WSS, breed judge Sally Leslie and BIS judge Christine MacDonald both from UK
Even though we had not enough time or energy to enter much to National All Breed Shows (only few times), she seems to sit now for our surprise very well even there as number 25. Top Dog All Breeds!!!
..and, she is the one and only bitch to win this honourable "Spaniel of The Year" title in past 7 years at least.
Needless to mention her show career during this year has been something very special and we could not have asked more from her!.

'Frida' also won TOP SHOW ESS 2005 trophy!

Erba (Italy) International Show 17-18.12.05!!!

Same weekend, when Adamant's ESS collected all the Nordic Winner-05 titles, it was held an International Show in Italy.

WHAT A WEEKEND IN WINNER SHOWS 17-18.12.05!!!

Finnish and Nordic Winner-05 shows took place in Helsinki 17-18.12.05.
Two huge one day shows with over 7000 entries both days.
ESS entries were 51 in FinW-05, 65 in NordicW-05. Judge was in FinW-05 Arja Koskelo, Fin, and in Nordic W-05 Kari Granaas-Hansen,"Carillo", Norway. Competition was good, since there were also around 10 ESS from Sweden, and they all showed both days.

First day for us went excellent way all through, but Swedish ESS had yet a touch better day winning the titles.
Next day our team waked up well relaxed and took yet a touch better performances out of them and the final result was they went and took all the NORDIC WINNER-05 titles!!! Fabulous to take them in such a good quality competition.

First day Adamant's Golden Boy and Adamant's Dreams Are Free were placed 2. best male/bitch and 'Frida' took one more CACIB to her large credit list
Adamant's Golden Sound was BOS veteran when brother Golden Boy was BOB. 'Madde' Adamant's Royal Stories was close to FinJW-05 title when she was placed as Exc2..next day 'Madde' went and won the brand new FinJW-05, FinW-05 bitch from Sweden, and took the NORDIC JUNIOR WINNER-05 title to her credit!!! she was even placed as highly as 3. best bitch!
The old goldie Adamant's Golden Boy went all the way and took BOB, CACIB, NORDIC WINNER-05 title!!! and 'Frida' Adamant's Dreams Are Free went to win one more CACIB again..and even BOS and NORDIC WINNER-05!!!
Young 'Arvo' Adamant's Wind of Change was not happy in the ring first day missing his mummy..next day he did wake up and went to win high quality junior class, that meant he is now NORDIC JUNIOR WINNER-05!!!

All the team did well too:
With Touch Holy Moses was placed first day as 4. best male, second day as 2. best male!!! Well done Antti again!!
Adamant's Unique Print won intermediate class both days with Excellent
Adamant's Sweet Dreams took Exc3 and Exc2 in open class!
Even Admant's West Side Story got lovely promising critiques both days with Vg showing happily like allways, and older bitch Adamant's Partypiece got Vg both days.
Congratulatiions and big thanks to everyone concerned!!!

and what happened then at home when I and Veera was gone to this hectic Winner show weekend to live in hotel close by?

Our 'Princess' Rowntree Pure Chocolate decided to have her delivery a bit earlier as thought and on Saturday morning there were 2 boys and 3 girls, all doing well, even my husband who had to take care of all...

By the way, 'Frida' Adamant's Dreams Are Free was crowned as TOP SHOW ESS 2005 It looks like that 2. place went to Adamant's Golden Boy and 4. place to our co owned dog with Antti Hokkanen With Touch Holy Moses

Young 'Moses' With Touch Holyn Moses had a fantastic show year. He collected lots of CACIBs and BOB wins, even BIG and BIS-5 in Swedish International Show, and was highly placed even in both Winner Shows, as 4.best male and as 2. best male!

Sister and her brother: Adamant's Golden Boy BOB vet Saturday,
Adamant's Golden Sound BOB veteran Sunday, BOS saturday

Brand new Nordic Junior Winners-05...

'Frida' Adamant's Dreams Are Free had a dream show year and was crowned as Top Show Spaniel and Top Ess 2005
She won magic 13!!! CACIBS in Finland in those 14 International shows she took part of..she was beaten once by our 'Saara' Adamant's Summer Fantasy, who stealed the CACIB in Kotka. Those 13 CACIBs were awarded by 13 different judges from 5 different countries and she also won Springer Specialty BIS under UK breed specialist. There is lots of reason for a big smile of handler..proud owner Veera sitting with flowers.

We visited Swedish Winner-05 show 10.12.05.
ESS bitches were judged by breed specialist from Denmark, Jessie Borregaard-Madsen
For our great pleasure Melverly Violetta won the huge open class (with 29 entries) and went further in stone hard competition to be placed at honourable 4. best bitch and she took CC!!!
She is getting little by little her coat and muscles back after two litters and we hope to show her more next year!
Her next litter is going to be born at Adamant's in the beginning of 2007...still plenty of time to speculate who would be the next sire of her 3. litter.

Seems like that rules for International Ch title in Finland will be changing again. You only need 2 CACIBs from two different countries, not even from your own country, + normal working ability test for basic hunting instincts and then you can get the title Int ch. It used to be so, that one CACIB should be won in own country, so it was not so common title in past times.

Never mind, we are happy though, that Adamant's Dreams Are Free and Adamant's Summer Fantasy
will be numbers 29 and 30 "Adamant's" International Champions made up..and when our kennel will be 30 years old 2006, it will make one Adamant Int Ch for each year! All of our Int Chs do have at least 1 CACIB in Finland (or talking about exports in their own country too so far), 'Frida' has around 20 CACIBs in Finland, and Saara has 2 in Finland, 1 in Norway, 1 in Latvia.

'Saara' Adamant's Summer Fantasy is due to get her AI litter very soon, so we wait for happy news..

Few fresh healthy checkings:
Adamant's Golden Boy, soon 9 years, and Adamant's Blowing Free 3 years have been eye checked clear 29.11.05
Adamant's Royal Heritage was eye checked clear and his elbows were 0-0 (= best quality)
and his hips were A-A (=best quality)
There is now 6 hip x rayed from our 3 past litters so far, all those results have been A-A.

Congratulations to Carlo Gennari, Italy, for his boy's Adamant's True Sensation success again!
'Robin' won one more BOB and CACIB in International Genova (Italy) All Breed show 20.11.05 under judge Claudio Giuliani. 'Robin' achieved again so much success through all year, that he is 'TOP CHAMPION ESS 2005 IN ITALY', well done!!!

Adamant's Golden Boy was BOS and continued in final ring on top mood and ended as BIS-2 veteran in excellent competition!! Well done again Saila with Poju!!!
with this result Poju went now to 2. place in TOP ESS 2005 list, when 'Frida' Adamant's Dreams Are Free has been leading it all year through..and even now took BOB and her 11.!!! CACIB from Finnish Int Show this year!
Our 'Siiri' Adamant's Sweet Dreams seems also to be at her best in big International shows, since all her CCs have been taken in excellent competitions like even here, she was 3. best bitch with CC.
Junior Adamant's Royal Romance is very sparely shown, but allways noticed when shown..now she ended as 4. best bitch with res CC. Our breedersclass went BOB. Other class winners from our team were Adamant's Unique Print and Adamant's Blowing Free

News from USA.
'Kuvia' Mex Ch Adamant's Breakdance has won one more Best of Winners and even BOS under judge Marjorie Martorella! Congrats to proud owner Roxanne Flores!!

Even our 'Princess' aka Rowntree Pure Chocolate is definitely pregnant. We wait for normal sized litter, at least 4-5 puppies are found so far.

21.10.05 our 'Siiri' Adamant's Sweet Dreams won 1. prize in obedience test now third time in row in open class and was 3. best in her class out of 21! This means she took TK2 title to her credit and is now ready to move to Winners Class with her talent young trainer Veera.
Adamant's Royal Stories got her official hip results from kennel club and the result was A-A (best possible).

'Saara' Adamant's Summer Fantasy is definitely pregnant, I've found at least 4 puppies growing there.

Adamant's West Side Story took res CC in Seinäjoki all breed show

From history pages after our Spaniel Club's Annual Main Specialty show we have noticed (or actually Sanna Kavèn noticed!) that our breeders class has won now BOB 9 years in row in this show, and every time under breed specialist judge!!!
All except one have been even placed in BIS final, and at least 3 times they have went Best in Show!

SPANIEL CLUB'S ANNUAL MAIN SPECIALTY SHOW 15.10.05

What a great and unforgettable day it was for our team! Allways such a lovely show with great atmosphere and
nice to meet friends and watch all that lot of Spaniels entered.

This year ESS (entry 96) were again judged by breed specialist from UK, Mrs Joan Palmer, "Roandew" ESS.

In baby puppy class our 'Viola' Wildomar's Classy Violetta 5,5 monhts, made her debut and went to win bitch puppies and later on even BOB..and later on even BIS-3 in special ring under Rui Oliveira, Portugal!!

Her little bit older half sister, Adamant's Royal Stories, also co owned with Sanna Kavèn, made quite a miracle, as she won not less than best bitch and BOS!!´ with her 8. CC, being just under 1 year old. We don't remember if any other ESS has won as so young best bitch/best male in this show and we are thrilled to see what does the future give to these two promising half sister girls.
Both these girls are out of our co owned (with Wildomar's kennel)UK import Melverly Violetta

Saila and boys were back in the show ring again..and the result was not less than that his boys were those two best males! the dad Adamant's Golden Boy took already his 3. BOB in this Main Specialty show and when he also has won BOB & BIS and two BOS in ESS specialties, he really is making history with his successes in those prestigious shows.
He later on continued to win even BIS-4 under David Shields, UK! His son Adamant's Blowing Free was back in business he too, and was 2. best male!! Saila's drive back home must have went easily.

When Golden Boy was entered in champion class, stealed her sister Adamant's Golden Sound all the show on veteran's side, since she went to BOB veteran and later on even BIS veteran under David Shields! Huge congrats also to Tuija, well done!

'Frida' Adamant's Dreams Are Free did not now quite look like she does when being at her very best condition, but she had already ensured before this show the trophy for 'TOP SPANIEL OF THE YEAR 2005' to herself while winning so much points as being placed so often in Groups of International shows through the year, so now she got the honour to be officially crowned as the most winning show Spaniel in Finland this year.

There we had then three easy choices --those two best males and Frida--to our breedersclass, but thinking of the fourth was continueing to the very last minute..and when 'Madde' went to win all bitches at such young age, she got the place in our group among those older stars..and she did show she was worth of entrusting, since our group went later on to win Best in Show breeders class under judge from Netherlands, Alie Bennink-Smies.

Thank you everyone for all sorts of help and fun during the day and huge congrats to all concerned!
More pics to come, when we get them.
