22-05-2010 Leon ´s evaluation on national show Lillan De Walls Minneutställning in Sundsvall - Exc1, Promising, with judge Sara Nordin.Leon generally performs very well during his junior age in show rings. Judge considered him as promising since he has potential after he obtain more muscles on his front and learn how to use them during movement. He reminds me little bit Baya, who has been obtaining similar comments at junior age, but later she developed to very correct and strong female.
Baya has been best champion and 3-rd best female, however since the show has been rather small (11 females and 23 subscribed dogs, one missing as I noticed), it will not bring so much points for her. Probably many people went to Norway for speciality. Anyway to my opinion she should obtain better placement today in the competition which was in Sundsvall.

2010-04-20 Leon has been X-rayed for hip and elbow dysplasia with excellent result HD GRAD A, ED 0.
Pinky´s elbows are ED 0, however her hips has been scored as a GRAD B and GRAD C, resulting in GRAD C according to evaluation convention. We are waiting now for 6 months to see if this was caused by not optimal positioning of hips on X-ray (we actually noticed it), her too young age (she was 13 months) or real dysplasia on one of her hips (which is not very usual according to our vet). As it is known dog joints might mature even untill 18 months, at earlier age even small shift in positioning might cause difference in grade. Therefore in some countries minimum age for hip X-ray is 2 years. Still not convinced about her hips, so I will try to find true in autumn.
29-08-2009 Our Baya (Bahiya Edeni z Bielan) was BOB and BIG 4 on International dog show in Österbybruk with judge Ann Carlström (group Dan Erickson), subscribed dogs: 45. Head and movement brought for her this result today together with good performance at rather strong rain. Water and soil everywhere, but evaluation of judge at breed level: ´She is wonderful´.

17-07-2010 Leon at the age of 16 months won intermediate class (5 dogs)on national show in Alfta with Exc and champion (CK) quality. In further compatition for best male he has been place as reserved male from total number of 17 subscribed males (2 were missing). On the photo bellow is Leon with me as a first on the right. Certificate (CAC) has been taken by 7 years old Zaxxon´s King Axe on 4-th place. Judge Bertil Lundgren has evaluated Leon after this placement as ´very nice´but he needs to develop a little bit more. Well, not bad result for me as a breeder, owner and handler in one person, since I know that Leon´s body WILL develop further!
