Dear folks,
Christmas time is here again and it’s time to sum up our prosperous year 2009!
Training and trials
This year Heleros dogs were especially successful in national obedience.
In 2009, our dogs participated 34 times in various obedience trials, 20 of which brought us a place among first three. Most of performances were made in level 3 of obedience, divided as follows:
-I place – 10 times
-II place – 6 times
-III place – 4 times
One dog participated in IPO level 1, one in FH level 1 and two in national field tracking+obedience (PJK) level 1.
Most valuable performances were made by Tarvo Alev and Heleros Lucky – who participated in the IPO Championships of the Estonian German Shepherd Association and won the first place and Ülle Üksik and Heleros Miko – who won the FH competition level 1.
I place in Estonian German Shepherd Association national field – tracking+obedience took Tarvo Alev and Heleros Lucky and II place was taken by Heli Vaab and Heleros Yarise.
Numerous victories in national obedience:
This year two of our teams were crowned with oak-wreaths! Estonian Champion 2009 in national obedience is Tarvo Alev with Heleros Lucky and the Champions of national obedience of the Estonian German Shepherd Association in 2009 are once again Aarne Altmets and Heleros Cindy.
In addition, Agle Oissar – Heleros Mikado, Terje Tammemäe – Heleros Quna, Katriin Salumaa – Heleros Qwinto, Angela Kotsmareva – Heleros Elton, Jana Särglep – Heleros Quicksilver made very successful entries in obedience trials!
Specialty shows
Once again a very successful year for the Heleros-team!
First, I would like to thank our wonderful handlers, who at different shows managed to bring our dogs among winners. Great thanks to Katriin Salumaa, Terje Tammemäe, Angela Kotsmareva, Liina Sepp, Mai Neemlaid and Daisi Õismets!
It is extremely pleasing that already five of our dogs participated in working classes of different specialty shows: Heleros Grando (owner: Helina Härma), Heleros Qwinto (owner: Katriin Salumaa and Rain Heinsoo), Heleros Rosel (owner: Annika Palm), Heleros Marcella (owner: Kaire Sädemets) and Heleros Yarise (owner: Heli Vaab).
I really have to say to every owner of a working class dog: you have done a great job and you have every right to be proud and happy, regardless of the position your dog took at the show!
In 2009, two Heleros-dogs became Estonian Champions (EST V CH): Heleros Qwinto (owners: Katriin Saluma and Rain Heinsoo) and Heleros Yarise (owner Heli Vaab) and three became Estonian Junior Champions (EST J CH): Heleros Wolf-Ferrari (owners: Ilona and Sven Soots), Heleros Wella (owner: Jekaterina Kokurina) and Heleros Artax (owner: Melani Raamat)
Heleros Qwinto became also Latvian Champion.
I wish you all a Peaceful Christmas Time and a Prosperous New Year!
Dear dog owners! Please take care of your four-legged friends! Ensure them decent meal and warm place and do not pass unconcerned an animal in need!
Happiness and satisfaction to all dog-lovers!
