This weekend Nana had her 2 last shows, both in our hometown Jyväskylä.

On Saturday we had an international show, our jugde was Soile Bister (FI). She was a judge in Nana's first official show 11 years ago, when Nana was 9 months 5 days old young girl, 20.9.1998. On that day Nana got her first CC and was 2.best bitch (BOB was multi Ch Pikkupaimenen Cerry Coctail "Oona", Nana's ant).

Now, on Saturday, Nana was BOB-vet and here are judge's comments:
"Hyvin kaunis, vahva tasapainoinen veteraani. Ikäisekseen hienossa kunnossa karvaa lukuunottamatta [LOL]. Vahva pää, hyvä ilme. Erinomainen runko & raajat. Oikea-asentoinen häntä. Liikkuu paremmin kuin monet nuoret. Erinomainen luonne."

On Saturday there was a national winner show of Finnish Border Collie & Australian Kelpie - club.  Our judge came from I-B, Mrs. Meg Purnell-Carpenter. Nana had a really good time and she really enjoyed her last rings in show. And she did great:

4.best bitch, Best Of Breed veteran and then Best In Show veteran! WOW!!!
"12 years, excellent head and expression. Correct angulation allthrough. Excellent topline. Very sound. She is a credit to the owners!"

Also...
* Nana daughter Vega (Maccabee High Chaparral)  2.best bitch
* Nana's breeder, Ella Lamusuo & kennel Maccabee,  BIS1 breeder
 
WOW!!! What a day!!!

Nana started her shows in Pori, in July 1998, and was BIS1 puppy in an International show. Now in the final show she was BIS1 veteran - so she really completed the circle with style :) Nana has visited 34 shows in Finland and 5 shows abroad. In all together she has been 14 times BOB or BOS and 31 times she has been placed in best bitch ring.

We have soo much good memories from all of her shows, lots of great moments with friends and relatives and sooo good food & laughs in Maccabee picnic's in many shows. THANK YOU ALL!!

Now, we leave the show rings to the youngsters. Nana has great children and grand children - it's your time to shine :) Our fingers are always crossed for you all Nana kids!
