Adamant's Elvis Presley aka 'Elvis' was born in Ellen Beatrix's first litter 1997. His famous sire Banner of Skyway was called Elvis and little Elvis was looking so much like daddie and was behaving like a show star from his early times, so it was easy choice to name him Elvis in daily life.
Marika was looking for a promising healthy boy for to become a beloved member of family, but also to participate in shows if all would go well with development for such purpose. Elvis was indeed most promising puppy and developed very well and already in puppy classes made himself known in the ring as he won Best in Show puppy award in All Breed Championship show!

Elvis was only 14 months old when Marika entered him to prestigious Top Dog Turku International show
Entry of ESS was great, as famous Gun Dog specialist from UK; David Shields, was judging the breed.
Marika got too busy as her golden retreiver won males in other ring same time as elvis should run to Best of Breed competion..so I had the pleasure to take his lead and amazingly he won Best of Breed, BOS was another star of that time Int & DFin & It & Dk Ch Nordic winner 2000 Adamant's Estee Lauder
It was a superb start for his winning show career. He is well known of his allways happy outgoing temperament and all time wagging tail. I personally have never seen this happy dog bored, he finds the world so happy place to live!
He has got an enormous thick and long coat, but Marika has managed to keep it allways in such a nice shine and order.
We will hopefully see him making come back at summer 2003 after short holiday of showing, when the other springer of the family was doing her maternal duties.

Some of his most lovely wins are:
Best of Breed in Oulu All Breed Show under world famous All Rounder Mr Terry Thorn, UK
One Group win and BIS-5 he won in a great International show in Pitea, Sweden
breed judge was Kim Bay, Denmark, Group judge was Kim Bay and BIS judge was Marianne Furst-Danielsson, Sweden. One Group win and BIS-4 he won in a Nivala All Breed Show
breed judge was Svein Helgesen, Norway, Group judge was Rainer Vuorinen, Finland and BIS judge was Rainer Vuorinen.

Marika earns big thanks for having waiting so often to final rings for to participate with Elvis in our winning breeders groups. Most unforgettable of those moments together with Elvis in great show finals is surely year 1999 when we together took prestigious BEST IN SHOW breeders class in that show with some 7000 entry!
