I have finally returned at home from Helsinki, after two tough but extramely
useful weeks. It has taken the whole week
to recover, but it has all been worth it. Hopefully.
Mike got his results from Optigen today, and Spooky
and Twist while I was gone, all of them had result
normal, so
none of them can produce anything but CEA clear puppies. Great result so far.
28.2.2005
I will be at the hospital from 28.2. - 11.3.2003 so I will not answer to any
emails before that.
24.2.2005
Whizz has received her OptiGen CEA/CH test result today
and is normal. So she is genetically clear and can only
produce CEA clear puppies.
22.2.2005
Skippy has been to ultra scan, and it showed lots of
puppies ! So we are expecting lots of babies in the middle of
March. More information of the combination will be added later.
21.2.2005
We have several health results that should have been updated earlier, but they
are still waiting..
Hippu x Nears -babies were eye tested and ALL
OF THEM ARE CEA CLEAR ! ! ! !
Clear eye tests have been done to Zip and Skippy.
Saku was hip and elbow scored
with excellent results and Sketch
is out second OptiGen CEA/CH tested dog. Also his result was normal, he is
genetically clear and can not produce
CEA affected puppies with any mate. GREAT! Congratulations, Joan. It´s great
that our stud dogs are genetically clear.
Let´s hope it continues that way. We keep doing DNA tests for our dogs, but
mainly we do test every puppy before they
leave us at 7 or 8 weeks.
20.2.2005
Tootsie got her SECOND clear round in class 3 in agility.
This really is their weekend, and also, they really have learned
a lot during their years of training. You can believe we are more than just
proud of you...
We had 7 wonderful black and white babies out of Hippy by
Nears. And were they beautiful!!! And SO brave and playful
and handsome and handsome and... what else can a proud grandma say. Litter was
very even like all my previous litter

published at the pages soon.
19.2.2005
Tootsie gained her first clear round in class 3 agility
!!!! Congratulations, Tootsie and Janne !
Leevi entered his first class 3 in obedience
and got excellent points. IF his tail was to another direction, he would have
hot excellent first prize, but as his tail was to the other direction, he got
zero from that part and excellent second.
Sometimes in obedience things can depend on tiny things. Excellent work, Leevi
and Petra. We are proud of you!
15.2.2005
New baby photos of Hippu - Nears -babies, who soon will

Junnu received as the first of our dogs the result from
OptiGen, that tests from blood if the dog is genetically clear,
carrier or affected with CEA (Collie Eye Anomaly). The result was:"Genotype
of your dog is Normal. Significance for
for breeding: This dog can be bred to any mate and will produce no pups affected
with CEA/CH." Congratulations,
Heather and Junnu´s first three litters of puppies. As also two of the dams
were tested and normal, that makes those
two large litters genetically clear without eye test, as neither of the parents
have any gene for CEA. One of the dams
also affects here in Finland, as Cher,

We got very sad news. Our Wilma the Sheltie had
passed away at age of 13 years. Wilma had an outstanding start for
her show career by winning CC at her first two shows, including Sheltie
National 1992 when she was 9 months old.
Unfortunately she had a car accident only three months later, and was never
able to be shown again due to severe limp
the broken front leg left her. After serious consideration she was however
bred once, at the age of six years, and she
produced one daughter, who gained her championship in three straight shows
each with Best of Breed from specialist
judges continued by fourth BOB with in Group -placement. We feel with you,
family Kosunen. Wilma lives on in her
progeny.

It went pretty well, as they had 50 minute tie ;-) . We will have exceptionally
