6.1.2010 Happy New Year!
New year has started with lot of snow and cold. It's finally a real winter here in West Coast Finland, too! I decided to give up my old guestbook, because I don't think it's necessary - of course you can give me some comments or feedback, but nowadays it works with e-mail.
Traditionally we starts a new year with results of Top Aussie -competition in Finland. Year 2009 there visited totally 287 aussies in Finnish show rings - it's a huge count, and of course it gets a big smile in my face to have a own-bred bitch to placing #6 in this list :)
Here are our best results:
