29.07.2013 SUPER Hovawart weekend in Tervakoski went very well: 6 Tallivahdin hovis made all result in Obedience and in Club show 2/6 got placement and Tallivahdin became BIS3 Breeder! SUPER THANKS TO ALL IN OUR TEAM!

On Saturday there were Finnish Hovawart Club Obediende Championship games with 44 hovis. in 4 different classes: beginner, open, winner and special winner. Obedience has been a side hobby to Tallivahdin hovis who are more involved in working dog sports and this game in Tervis has been the only goal in obedience. But despite of that we were suprisingly good in obedience this year! The weather was too warm for many hovis but not for Tallivahdin ones. The  bottom of the court was black stone sand that did make it even more challenging hot! There were 6 Tallivahdin hovis in games when Maarit had decided to begin their career in open class with Hulda (Eminent) and that was very good - they made it well! Laku (Emanze) and Sarri started their obedience career and so did 2 years old Onni (Gauner) with Maarit. Our excitement started with open class and there were Maarit and Hulda first to start. There were 15 hovis in class. Hulda was happy to work with Maarit and they got a nice 2-class result.  Sissi and I started as third pair and it was fun! We made fine 1-class result of 184,5/200 points. The judge in open class was Riikka Pulliainen. Then we started to wait for the beginner class hovis and there the judge was Ilkka Sten. There were 16 hovis in competing. First there were Mili and Mango (Englein) and they made fine 1-class result of 178/200 p. Next to go was Sarri and Laku, who made nice 3-class result in their first obedience test. Our third beginner class dog was Onni with Maarit and little Onni showed us a very nice obedience with points 158/200 that is strong 2-class result. At the end of the day I had my turn with Repe. He worked as we had trained and I am very proud of him with his second 1-class result with 180/200 points. After that we had fun to wait for the final results and placements. AND IT WENT EXTREMELY WELL: Sissi and I won the open class and got also honour price,Repe and I became the third in beginner class with honour price, Tallivahdin was the second best in breeder´s competition and our little team of VarsiNaisia Hoffeja became also second in team competition. These group results were historical for us so our feeling was very high towards the night party in camp! Sunday morning was as hot as Saturday but there were a big circus already early in the morning in show court where show people came to put their tents. There were some 261 hovis in the Club show and 5 special judges from different countries. There were also 5 rings but Tallivahdin 6 dogs were in just 2 of them, that made the day more easy to follow for us. Our Repe (Freibrufler) was the first Tallivahdin in ring and he got EXCellent in working class. Rather tight Swiss judge Elisabeth Dietschi placed Repe to third among 11 working males and Repe got CQ also so we got the ticket to the best male ring. 56 Open class bitches were judged by German Gisbert Langheim and he gave our 2 year old girls Genie and Gewinnerin EXC with CQ. Mrs Dietschi judged also working class bitches and there Englein and Emanze got ECX and Cremefarben very good. Englein became the fourth among 8 bitches and got also CQ. SO at the end of the day we had again wonderful group of fours golden hovis in breeder group competition. And this time all our dogs were in working class that is VERY rear among Finnish hovawart! There were totaly 19 breeder groups in compeeting and that really is the scene of the quality of your dog material. The judge was Gisbert Langheim. He surched groups for a quite long time and moved them in his own order out of alphapethical order and it was VERY exciting! It took a while for me to realize that he has put us to third place in this long line of grops. SO this year Tallivahdin kennel became BIS3 breeder and it was our fourth placement in breeder group competition. We had a little bit different companion of golden hovis than before but it worked again!  WHAT A LOVELY WEEKEND AND THANK YOU ALL TALLIVAHDIN HOVIS & THIER OWNERS & OUR SUPPORTERS! It can be hard for us to try to do better next year but it will be surely fun to try that!:-D  Down here is Repe and Sissi with our prices of this weekend:
