Bertta was shown again very professionally by her owner Viivi Alaluusua.

Also Bertta's litter sisters and brothers were in the puppy ring, some of them in a dog show for the first time. Warm thanks to all our puppy owners for showing their puppies!

Brutus (Wheelback's Mr Chips) wasn't sure, if he wants to show perform in the show ring. He is more to meeting new people and being cuddled by them. Maybe he is a bit stubborn too? Brutus was shown by his owner Maiju Rutanen. He was second best in the male puppy class.

Nemolla (FIN CH Wheelback's Brave Boy) was not so calm, he was also interested of other dogs like his father Roli. He still performed nicely in the show ring and received good show critiques.

Patsy (INT & NORD & FNI & S & DK & N CH NOW-08 Wheelback's African Queen) was fourth best bitch at the show. She thought that the day was too long, so she spend most of the day sleeping and enjoying the warm weather. The warmer it is, the more she likes it as she usually isn't bothered by heat.

Dina (Wheelback's Big Spender) was happy to see her father Roli and her sister Hali at the show. But first she had to perform in the show ring handled by her owner Ulla Karri.

Hali (FIN CH Wheelback's Be Happy) didn't mid being in the show ring. After having puppies she has become very calm and "grown-up".

Bessie (FIN & EST & S CH Jewbull's American Pie) is rarely shown, as she already is a veteran at the age of 8,5 years. She was shown nicely by our friend Viivi and was third best veteran bitch. Bessie has never liked dog shows, but has been shown at times when she was younger. She is still in very nice condition.

At the end of the day we showed breeder's class with Patsy, Burt, Nemo and Hali and ended up being BOB breeders.
