13.11.10 it was held Kouvola Group show, where Matti Luoso judged 28 ESS.
Krista's "Ilona" Adamant's Birthday Party won one more BOB to her credit, and was also shortcut in Group. Congratulations to Krista! "Enya" Adamant's A Diamond is Forever was Exc4
"Ricky" Adamant's Pop The Question was on wild mood on this day and did not really settle on move, he was BD-4.
THRILLING WEEK 23-31.10.2010
Well, what to tell about this week and two big international shows, Seinäjoki and Lahti..
perhaps was too excited of all that cant recall much at all! We knew that even if were leading with 7 points Top Breeder 2010
all breeds competition, still two breeders had a chance to beat us if they will be placed in BIS final of both these
shows. So it all was so close but also so far.. In Seinäjoki show that was the first one, we had a really nice day in breed ring, Markku Santamäki was judging the breed, and
"Sophie" Adamant's Let Me See was in super condition and super mood after all hot summer shows, and got a lovely critique and went BOB.
"Doris" Goldmoore's Make It happen also had got her coat back and was looking very beautiful when she run with co owner Antti, Doris took 2. best
bitch placement with res CACIB. "Gloria" Adamant's Gloria Swanson was also in top form and was nicely 3. best bitch, "Silvia" Adamant's Proudly Presents was still not in her best dress, but took class win and res CC. Also Pamela was in summer/season coat, she got excellent in ch class and completed our group.
Before group finals we got heartfelt hugs from another breeder..Ikurin kennel's (keeshonds) that was still before this show having a chance to win Top breeder.
But we now then heard they did not make the breed, but one other group won, so then we both knew they can not anymore catch us, so at least 2. place for us was already sure! But still we looked way too excited in final ring pics..we made shortcut in to 6 finalists but did not get placement under slovenian judge Primoz Peer. Next day was also exciting, when we waited news from breeder class BIS final. If miniature pinscher group (
A' Dreams kennel) would not place, nobody could not catch us anymore in the last, Lahti, show..but they did win BIS! so we got one more week to go being veryyy excited, till Lahti show!
Points in TOP3 before last show were 1) Adamant's 229p 2) A'Dreams 223p 3) Ikurin 222p
In Lahti Int show breed judge was from Australia, Robert Lott. Best placed dogs from our team were 'Ricky' Adamant's Pop The Question, who got nicely res CC and res CACIB + BD-2, congrats to Heli!! "Lady" Adamant's Perfect Feelin' was in such a beautiful condition she and on excellent show mood and went to 2. best bitch and took res CACIB, congrats to owners Minna and Sanna!. "Sophie" won champion class and was 3. best bitch. Little kind of panic it was to think which dogs to choose in to the group..decided to
take the 'original plan' though: Sophie, Gloria, Silvia, Fairy,,even if Fairy and Silvia had got VGs both. Jugde seemed to like our breeders group very much and gave excellent critique and the show could continue on..to the final ring where Irina Shvets from Russia judged breeders groups.
At the moment when she walked beside us and did not show us to be picked up to finalists the excitement went huge, as we knew that
if minpins will be BIS-4, we will share the 1. place in Top Breeder with them and if they make it better, Bis-3 etc, they will win it all!
Nearly could not watch what is the judge going to do when she walked along the long line up of so many stunning groups, but when she also walked beside minpins without picking them to in finalists, the happiness about knowing the fact that the dream came true was huuuuge!!! We won TOP BREEDER ALL BREEDS competition as first ever ESS breeder and actually as first ever from FCI group 8 (in Finland) We had been placed during the year in 15!!! all breed nat/Int shows, huge Nordic Winner-09 included..so it had been such a hard job and so long way to go..but it really was worth all that job!! What a wonderful team I have had as a breeder around me, all did certainly best they could and were willing to take part in groups, and we had so much fun at these al tournaments that it will be really a year to remember, heartfelt thanks to everyone who were with this adventure!!
And many congratulations also to all those other highly placed breeder teams; there were so many talent breeders winning so many times with their gorgeous groups, making the competition very exciting up to the end of it
And last but not least: thank you all judges, who have appreciate our breeding work so highly!!
the final points of 3 best Top Breeders: 1) Adamant's 229p 2) Ikurin 225p 2) A'Dreams 223p

Weekend 2-3.10.2010 Celje (Slovenia) European Winner 2010 show
There had been a long time dream for me to enter my girls in to this show,
and first plan was just to send them there with Sanna Vartiainen, but then
I got the feeling I would like also to see such middle European winner show,
as I had not been in any such before. Was little doubtfull when thinking before trip how to sort
me out there from Ljubljana airport to Celje alone with rent car and so, but everything went actually so smoothly and nicely as can, and the country itself
was very nice and beautiful. Girls were certainly on top mood all when we arrived to show place and did their best in ring, of which I was proud.
Results were as great as could: "Sophie" Adamant's Let Me See went to win Best Bitch, CACIB, EUW-10, CAC, and even her 60. BOB!!!
Judge was well known and highly appreciated Hans Lehtinen. "Doris" Goldmoore's Make It Happen took CAC, Res CACIB (That will turn to CACIB as Sophie is C.I.E)
and young Silvia Adamant's Proudly Presents took Eur JW-10 title to her credit!!! Later on she run sooo happily and proud in the glorious big
ring with great atmosphere, and happiness was huge, when well known Gun dog specialist Frank Kane, UK, picked her in to 6 finalists and even to win BIG-3 Junior!!! What a lovely trip it really was:))
Big thanks to Sanna, who did the hardest job and got my dogs there with more than 2000 km drive there and same back..

Weekend 19.9.2010 Hyvinkää Group show
Traditional Hyvinkää group show was held this weekend and Irina Poeletava was judging the breed.
BOB went again to "Sophie" Adamant's Let Me See, who begun to be back in her top form again, after hot summer
and season and coat dropping..2. best bitch was again "Unelma" Adamant's Perfect Dolly, also at her best dress
now, and she took then her 3. CC!! only needs hunting ability test now to her Ch title. Congrats to Mira!!
3. best bitch with res CC was "Silvia" Adamant's Proudly Presents who had been dropping tons of her coat out.
Our breeder class went later on BIS-2 in final under Paavo Mattila.

Weekend 11-12.9.2010 Porvoo National dog show
Porvoo National all breeds proved to be a 'big' show with "big points",,over 2500 entries.
So the excitement with Top breeder 2010 points was big again. Stefan Sinko from Slovenia did
the breed and after much running in best bitch class with Sophie A Let Me See, Pamela A Let em Talk and and Unelma
A Perfect Dolly the judge decided finally to let Sophie win bitches, Unelma followed as 2. best bitch and Pamela was 3. best bitch.
Unelma got her 2. CC, congrats to Mira! A. Back To Basic also took his 2. CC, congrats to Marina! Sophie won also BOB and later on she won BIG-3 in excellent competition under Elsbeth Clerc from
Schwitzerland. More thrilling was of course then to run with breeders group in to final ring and we were so happy when our
group was BIS-3!! No more points as we had already 8 (max) at least as high or even better placements, but then on the other hand,
this weekend results sorted out the fact, that after this it was possible only to three breeders anymore to gain the very first place in Top Breeder and we
were one of these 3!! Then we knew we have to wait till end of October, to see how things go in last two big shows, Seinäjoki and Lahti,,before those we were leading with 6 points...enough or not, time would tell...

We had been long waiting for the Sawo triple Int show weekend, that was held 6-8.8.10 in Kuopio.
Forecast prognosis was looking all the week bad, as it was saying it will be super hot..and it really was!!!
A-team loves more pouring rain or so..never mind, the hotness did not destroy actually anything else but
in the hottest day--Sunday- Sophie and Gloria's batteries unfortunately got finished in BIS breeders class final and they had to be put immediately after running there in to the pond in the middle of the area! after that they did look fresh and going again:).
We had rented a lovely cottage and had so much fun together, that stomach was feeling painful after all that laugh, thanks everyone who were with!
and of course it happened funny (??) things like in all tournaments do..like that I did not find all the meatballs from pockets of my trousers, so there they went in to the washing machine with clothes..friends did not look that happy with their white & clean? clothes after we took them out...well also
the lovely greedy Sophie noticed now there is her chance in a lifetime when people seem to be so unconcentrated because of hot weather...so
finally she managed to do couple of really good stealing work on some tournament and looked like a well eaten whale Friday night! All fun will
be remembered as dear memories and who cares about one fat self satisfied "pig star";-), when we had many other lovely ladies fit and running in our team!
Special thanks to our Estonian guest Liina Sepp, who kept some control in this messy team, and must admit it has never been so easy to
run in class after another, when Liina was always in time standing there in next class with my next dog brushed and stacked relaxed..just welcome to Finland
to joy of our team more often, we need you! Congratulations everyone, who got such a great success this weekend and entered there!!!
and last but not the least, the lovely young "Silvia" has landed to Mustjoki farm to be part of our daily life,
breeder's pride, joy and dream; sincere thanks to ex co owner for letting her come here, as I've got more time
to do all that job to her fitness and run with her all tournaments through..feeling so excited as one can be!!! and thanks to ex co owner for all the effort you did to get Silvia developing in to this beauty full of happiness. Another good new is that she is now x rayed and has best possible A-A hips and clear eyes

In Ristiina all breed show Matti Luoso judged ESS.
Best of Breed went to Krista's "Ilona" Adamant's Birthday Party and BOS and CC went to "Ricky" Adamant's Pop The Question, lots of congratulations to Krista and Heli!!
Weekend 17-18.7.2010 was really succesful to our team.
I packed 4 girls in the car and drove quite a long round trip to northern Finland and then back south..to Ylivieska International all breed show, where it was judge change and Marjo Jaakkola judged the breed,
Ann-Christin Johansson from Sweden did the Group.
"Sophie" Adamant's Let Me See went to win BOB and later on
very nice BIG-3 placement even if it was very hot. Doris Goldmoore's Make It Happen took one more CC and CACIB again with BB-2 placement, "Sawanne" Adamant's La Dolce Vita was BB-3 and "Silvia" Adamant's Proudly Presents was BB-4 with res CC!
After finals I packed again and the trip,,some 5 hours drive,,,continued. Next day was even more hot! but nice sunny grass again and nice show place. Kirsi Nieminen judged the breed and now I had entered only two girls from us..so the other two had a holiday day!, as it is so often so impossible to get talent handlers to all our girl team and to show them all myself
one after another in their classes is a hard job to do every time. anyway these two entered did the best possible job, as Sophie went to win her 55.!!! Best of Breed win, and Silvia followed closely being BB-2 with CC! Adamant's Partypiece, 12 years, was BB-4 with res CC and BOB veteran, Silvia was BOB junior, and "Torsti" Adamant's Back To Basics took his first CC and BOS, congrats to Marina and Julia too!! day before it was held also Lammi Group show, where Irina Poletava judged ESS, there it was brother Adamant's Blues Brother who took dog CC and was BOS!
Our breeders class was BOB but as it was so hot, we decided to let half of the team go..
Our sunny hot day continued later in finals of Mäntsälä all breed show. There was meant to be also BIS Junior Royal Canin competition, which is held annually in 6 big all breed shows and the winners of whole show weekend continue next year in Supreme Royal Canin Junior winner 2010 competition. Our Doris won already at winter time Kajaani int shows BIS Junior RC title..now Silvia did the same, she went first BIS of the day and then beated Saturday's winner, too, quite unbelieavable!! So now we will have both of our Junior Girls in next years Supreme Royal Canin Junior competiton!! Judge for BIS Junior was Harto Stockmari and there was some 116 BOB juniors!
"Sophie"did not want to be worse than Silvia and she went to win Best of Group!! she has been 7 times BOB this year, all in all breed/int shows..in 6 out of these she has won the Group-!!! and in the 7. she was proudly BIG-3, what a girl! Anyhow, now she had to go to BIS final very soon after BIG win and two days in that hotness
made her a bit soft to run yet there,,seemed like the Indian BIS judge did like her, but she really did not take her socks out of her there anymore while running around..so our very tired team packed again drove still a couple of hours to home after one lovely sunny summer weekend!!

What a lovely unforgettable trip to Denmark and World Winner Show-10 we had! Sun was shining all way through
and with nice company it was nice to travel and what a lovely cottage we had hired on peacuful place, dogs could run on the grass free and enjoy their trip. Thanks everyone who were with!
Success was great and we were so happy with the results!
Junior "Silvia" Adamant's Proudly Presents found out at the best possible moment how do real show dogs behave in ring, she was a dream to show and I got 'chicken skin' already after she had run in quality judging around the ring, as she was willing to full fill all my hopes with her perfromance there, I was soooo proud of her indeed even before any ribbon!.
Judge Susie Svoldgaard seemed to think same way about her and so Silvia went to win all the Junior class and took the Junior World Winner-10 title! What a lovely moment really..but this was not all....amazingly she went to win in stone hard competition even the bitch CC! In that competition she had to beat also the becoming res Cacib winner..so actually she was then beaten only by World Winner-10 bitch and so 2. best bitch of all.
What an achievement from one so young, 14 months! Next day she continued same way and even if it was very hot weather out of doors, she showed very nicely and was 3. best bitch under another breed specialist judge, Kate Keely "Alhambra" fame from Australia!! Our other bitches did a great job too in both shows, "Sophie" Adamant's Let Me see was 2. best Open class bitch out of some 30!!! and sister "Pamela" followed and was 3. in that huge class of high quality. Next day Pamela went to win that class in Specialty show and she was 2. best bitch and took CC and Danish Champion title to her credit, huge congrats to co owner Antti!!
Sophie also took a
high placement again as she was 3. best open bitch. "Frutty" Adamant's Press Stop was 4. with exc in Junior males. "Doris" Goldmoore's Make it Happen was nicely 2. with exc both days in intermediate class!
Our lovely girl trio Sophie, Pamela and Silvia went to win Best of Breed breeder class in Specialty (in ww we had forgotten to enter..) and later on the group took honourable BIS-2 placement in final.

In May 2010 I was judging a couple of weekends, so it was only in the end of May I got on the road
with dogs...and little could I guess or not even dream what kind of weekend it proved to be in Joensuu Double all breed show weekend... first show was National all breeds, the other was International, 2300 entries in both of them.
"Sophie" Adamant's Let Me See was The Star of The Weekend, as she WON Best in Show, then next day also Best in Show and then was crowned as Super Best in Show Winner of the weekend!!! Making her sweet little paws certainly on breed history books
in Scandinavia at least!
First day judge was Karin Linde-Klerholm from Sweden. Sophie's daughter 'Gloria' Adamant's Gloria Swanson
took her last CC and was BB-2, "Doris" Goldmoore's Make It Happen was BB-3 res CC, "Ricky" Adamant's Pop The Question took BD-2 and CC and our breeders class went BEST IN SHOW!
And yes, it was RAINING of course in the end..our biggest wins seem to come at heavy rain allways..!
Also "Frutty " Adamant's Press Stop had winning ways week before in Estonia, as he went BOB, BIS junior,
BIS-2 under Saija Juutilainen, and finished his Baltic Jun Ch title, congratulations!!

Now it was time to Vaasa International all breed show, where it was entered
nearly 10 ESS from our team. We had a great day there and it was "Doris" Goldmoore's Make It Happen, who managed on the last running round
to pull herself before "Sophie", who took 2. place in best bitch class then. 3. was Sophie's lovey "Sawanne" Adamant's La Doce Vita sister, and "Gloria" Adamant's Gloria Swanson was standing as 5. best bitch, when judge said her congratulations to 6 best bitches. Doris got then CACIB and CC, her 1. CACIB became then in first possible show, when she was enough old for that! (15 months). Doris continued then in Group and behaved nicely without bounching there, just run happily with excellent carriage and it was thrilling when she was picked up in to finalists and finally was only beaten by a famous successfull lagotto, and took honourable BIG-2 placement under Tapio Eerola!!
Junior "Ricky" Adamant's Pop The Question was in sparkling show mood like aways and went to win al males and took CC again and BOS!! Our breeders group went BOB, and no placement in final ring under Estonian judge.

On Easter Saturday I packed the three wild girls Sophie, Glooria and Doris in to the car,
and we drove to Lappeenranta All Breed show. Elena Ruskovaara judged the breed there.
We had a really nice day winning all possible in the breed and also nice results in final ring!
Pitty final ring was slippery one without carpets so Doris could not show all she can..but she did it in breed ring in other hall and it was a pleasure indeed to follow her, the star of the ring, in the end of her lead..waiting so for summer and big rings with green grass!!!
Doris took her 8. CC, BOB and was BIG-3 in Group later, way to go mom's kissing girl!!!
"Sophie" was 2. best bitch, "Fairy" Adamant's So Far So Good was 3. best bitch and "Gloria" Adamant's Gloria Swanson
is back in coat she too and was 4. best bitch with res CC. "Ricky" Adamant's Pop The Question was a pleasure to show again, such a sweet boy indeed, and he went to win best male in very nice best male class!! He was again BOS and took aready his 3. CC, congratulations to Heli, who keeps him in really lovely condition!
Our breeders class was a little bit in wild spring mood as finally girls got A BOY among them in group, WOW...handlers were not perhaps thinking any wow...but managed to keep control enough to get group
as organised that it ended on honourable BIS-3 placement under Tuula Plathan judging. Thank you all for a nice day!!

Kajaani International all breed show weekend January -10
Still had not really 'landed' to the ground after Winner shows huge successes and great feelings, when we already had to pack
for Kajaani International all breed show in north of Finland. Had not ever before gone there myself by car, as I am suspicious with winter weathers and
driving some km can be a nightmare if bad weather. For luck, it was a nice weather to drive this time, even if it was way too cold, nearly -30 when we
arrived!! Poor doggies were looking at me like they were wanting to ask who is nipping their paws!!
It was warm enough in thE ball hall, where show was and it was really good for the dogs for running. And boy did they run??!!
Judge was Tino Pehar from Croatia, who judged dogs very carefully and wanted to see lots of running. Lucky me, had already at autumn time begun much more training than usualy and I was happy I really could run that all lot..even if in the end I was 'quite' end...results were terrific, as
Sophie Adamant's Let Me See won again Best of Breed and CACIB, sister Sawanne Adamant's La Doce Vita was 2. best bitch after hard run many many rounds the sisters run...hmmmmmmmm actually all 7!!! bitches that were picked in to final choice of best bitch were from our team!!! so BB-3 with CC was Doris Godmoore's Make It Happen, BB-4 Adamant's Take This Dance, 'BB-5' Pamela Adamant's Let 'em Talk, 'BB-6' Adamant's Perfect Feelin' who took res CC,
and 'BB-7' 'Silvia' Adamant's Proudly Presents, at her debut show.
In Final ring later on Sophie went to win Best of Group....Doris went to win Royal Canin Best Junior of the day..so we had two big reasons to call back to hotel if they have any free room for us...they had and so there we went and next day continued in great BIS finals in huge ring..both girls were still on top mood, particularly
young Doris did steal the show, owned the ring and public with her charming way to go, playful, happy but still determined and organised running proudly..so she was BIS junior of all the show and Sophie went BIs-2!!!
Long way drive back alone but how easy it was after such a wonderful weekend..also Breeders Group did well as it went BIS-2!!!
