News 200728.11.07 Odottelua ja ihmettelyä No niin, Pallon astutuksesta on kulunut yli neljä viikkoa ja ihme sohvaperuna siitä ainakin on tullut. Kyhnää kyljessä
koko ajan ja muutenkin on rauhoittunut ihan mahdottomasti. Saa siitä sentään vielä leikittäessä esiin sen vanhan tutun
ylivilkkaan Pallon mutta jotenkin ihan hirveä ero tässä on havaittavissa jo pelkästään käytöksessä. Noh, kaikkihan voi
johtua edelleen ihan vaan valeraskaudesta mutta jännä nähdä kuinka tässä käy :D
11.11.07 Vuoden viimeinen näyttely Pitihän se vielä kerran käydä tämän vuoden puolella kokeilemassa näyttelyissä onneaan. ERI-putki sai toivottavasti taas uuden alun, mutta muuta ei sitten olekaan kerrottavana :P Arvostelu taas nähtävillä tulososiossa. Ja suuret kiitokset Suville ja Maisalle matkaseurasta sekä Suville myös loistavana hovikuvaajana toimimisesta. Keväällä tehdään sitten se tänään suunniteltu näyttelyturnee, eikö :P 27.10.07 Hormonien huumaa (ja vähän antibiootinkin :P) Pikku-Pallero on ihan sekaisin. Vissiin liikaa tapahtumia samanaikaisesti. Juoksu tosiaan alkoi mutta sitä ennen alkanut
pissatulehdus ei ottanut ja lähtenyt pois yhdellä kuurilla, joten toista on nyt kehissä. Antibiootti vielä laittaa koiran
pissaamaan normaalia enemmän ja kaiken lisäksi myös tuo juoksu tekee sitä niin mikäs sen hauskempaa...Mutta onneksi tuo kuuri
on jo finaalin puolella ja varoaikakin sallii ilmoitettuun näyttelyyn osallistumisen, joten uskon vakaasti että tilanne alkaa
rauhoittua kohta puoleen. 16.10.07 No niin, vihdoinkin! No niin, VIHDOIN ja VIIMEIN neiti suvaitsi aloittaa juoksunsa. Eihän siihen mennytkään kun vuosi ja pari kuukautta. Noh,
ainakin se nyt alkoi mutta sopivasti samana päivänä kun sain käsiini ensimmäisen naksuttimen. Olisi kai pitänyt tajuta hankkia
sellainen aikaisemmin kun sillä on noin voimakas vaikutus :P Tässä nyt tietysti treenikuviot menee ihan uusiksi mutta on
tässä jäänyt torstain treeneistä pari kertaa väliin jo muutenkin kun on sairasteltu puolin ja toisin. Pitänee vain
tyytyä kuunteluoppilaan rooliin muutaman viikon ajan. Muutenkin huomaan että jonkin sortin talvikausi on jo omassa mielessä
alkanut kun sen verran laiskasti tulee enää treenattua. Mutta ehkä pikku tauko tekeekin ihan hyvää tähän saumaan. Kapulan
kanssa kuitenkin "keittiötreeniä" joudutaan tekemään ihan urakalla ennen kuin noudosta tulee sen verran varmempi että
edes viitsii kentällä kokeilla, ja lisäksi kaukoista seisomista ja yleensäkin liikkeestä seisomaan jäämistä pitää vielä hioa
enemmän häiriöttömässä ympäristössä. 30.9.07 Enduroa ja sänkipelto juoksentelua Pallon kanssa oltiin pitkästä aikaa endurokisoissa kannustamassa isäntää, vaikka isännällä onkin melko selvä johto tämän
vuoden pokaalijahdissa. Noh, ensi vuonna sitten laitetaan viimeistään Pallon kanssa haisemaan :P Treeneissä on viimeaikoina
keskitytty enemmän treenin laatuun, varsinkin seuraamisen kanssa (kiitoksen Kaisalle vinkeistä :P), ja lisäksi ohjaaja on
yrittänyt keskittyä erityisesti palkkauksen oikea aikaisuuteen ja ettei palkkaa tipahda jokaisesta sinnepäin liikkeestä. Vaikka
olenkin puolueellinen sanomaan niin jotenkin tuntuu että ainakin perusasennon ja seuraamisen paikka on nyt parempi, eikä
sivulle tulossa enää tule poikitusta esille niin usein kuin ennen, joten ehkä tässä ollaan edetty askel eteenpäin tällä
reseptillä. Seuraaminenkin on nyt paljon innokkaampaa, vaikka häiriön alla edelleen kontaktin kanssa on niin ja näin. Lisäksi
paikallaan makuu on alkanut rakoilla :| Siinä olen nyt torstain tokotreeneissä palannut lähes alkuun, koska selkeästi
se häiriön määrä siellä on tällä hetkellä meille liikaa. Mutta katsellaan, hitaasti hyvää tulee :D
19.9.07 Juoksun odotusta ja vesitreeniä Niinpä, eli juoksua edelleen odotellaan...milloinkas se oli, huhtikuussa kun kuvittelin sen olevan lähellä... Elämä on.
Tosin nyt kahtena edellisenä tokotreenikertana ryhmämme urokset ovat olleet hieman poissa tolaltaan ja viimeksi olivat erityisen
kiinnostuneita Pallon pissipaikoista, mutta edelleekään mitään vuotoa tai turvotusta ei ole havaittavissa. Vähän olen jo miettinyt
että kuinka kauan kehtaan enää mennä treeneihin sotkemaan toisten treenikuviot, mutta toisaalta olen siellä itsekkin oppimassa
ja Pallolle tekee erityisen hyvää käydä edes kerran viikossa harjoittelemassa kärsivällisyyttä koirien seassa. Joten kaiketi
lakkaan nyt vaan murehtimasta muiden uroksia ja keskityn olennaiseen. 1.9.07 Aatoksia tokokokeesta No niin, kaksi viikkoa on vierähtänyt meidän tokodepyytistä ja nyt kun on hieman sulatellut tapahtunutta, sitä jo pystyy tekemään
jonkinlaisen yhteenvedon tapahtuneesta. Totuushan on se että ohjaajaa jännitti ihan hirmuisesti ja sen kyllä koirakin huomasi.
En muista koskaan nähneeni Pallon hilseilevän samallalailla kuin Pihtiputaalla. Pakko on itse jotenkin tsempata jatkossa tuon
asian suhteen. Mutta ekassa kokeessa se suotakoon. Nyt kun tietää kuvion ja tavan millä homma pyörii pystyy enemmän keskittymään
omiin tekemisiin. 19.8.07 Punkaharju groupshow Pallo did it :D She got her first CAC. She was the second best bitch (1 male + 5 females were attending) just after one Fin Ch bitch. Critiques in the results page.
18.8.07 Obedience test in Pihtipudas We took part first time in obedience test and got 140 points, just gaining the 2nd prize in the beginners class. Points of each test part can be seen in the results page. 10.8.07 Jääkautta ja treenauksen käyntiin virittelyä No niin, sinnittelin kunnioitettavat 8kk ilman suomenkieltä joten nyt voin jo luovuttaa :P Ainakin kuulumisien suhteen
jatkan tod näk vastedes ihan perinteisesti på finska :D 29.7.07 Back from summer holiday And boy, did we travel during the holiday! Yes we did! It feels like I should get holiday to recover from the summer
holiday :P But like I promised there are few results to update and pictures from cute little cocker creatures :D On the way to Lapland I had a chance to go visit my favourite cocker boy Robin to Lapua and of course the biggest excuse was to see all the little 5 week old cocker puppies at Speck line kennel. Pallo wasn't very fond of all the attention she got in the begining when all the 8 puppies run under her but she figured out quickly that she can move and that way get rid of the extra crowd. I could have stayed there and watch those puppies even longer than few hours but I thank you again Maarit for letting me to come to visit you at such short notice and mess up your evening plans :D.
We did one more stop before ending up to Lapland and that was in Oulu where we visited Pallo's sister Miisa and her three puppies which were still at home. Again, not good for my puppy dreams, but I manage not to kidnap any of them :D We also took picture of the sisters (Pallo and Miisa) just one day before their two year birthday. It was nice to visit you Anna-Mari and thank you for feeding us :D It took us still more than 3 hour to get to the cottage so the food was just what we needed.
And then the day came, during the stay in Lapland, Pallo turned 2 years old and of course that had to be celebrated with the dog cake :P So no more junior or intermediate classes for Pallo :D
After one year break, Pallo attended to dog show in Pello. Judge Jorma Silta liked Pallo and she was second best bitch and got res-cac. If we manage to get one res-CAC more sometime, are we res-Fin Ch then? :P
The last weekend of the holiday also included dog show, this time in Puumala. This was not a big success, Pallo got very good and was first in working class, but was the only dog in that class. At least I got a good training for standing the dog on the table because most of the judging happened there, not on the ground where I can show Pallo better. But better luck next time, I hope.
6.7.2007 Summer holiday It's been really busy few weeks but now summer holiday (:D :D) finally started, so I have some time to update. Last
weekend Pallo was supposed to enter at last for a dog show in Tuusula but unfortunately she got ill during the trip to
East Finland one week earlier so that didn't happen. Luckily she got better real quick after starting the medication. So
during the summer holiday there might be a chance to see us somewhere in the shows after all :P We'll see.
24.6.07 Mid summer
17.6.07 Pallo's daycare centre Yesterday when mom Klara was gaining her INT CH title (congratulation again Riikka and Klara!!) Pallo's half sister was entertaining us here in Vantaa. I have to say that was one of the easiest days as a dog owner for me. Vappu and Pallo we playing and sleeping and doing everything together so I didn't have to do anything else than give more water for them :D Thank god we have reasonably big backyard so there is enough room for two dogs to run around. Few pics below of the girls.
14.6.07 Summer holiday is almost here Last Thursday our obedience training course ended and at last lesson we had a kind of a practise test. Few parts went
surprisingly well, others not that well :P Lying still for two minutes was one of the big successes. Although there were
more distruction that was planned, Pallo stayed the whole time still although she was looking around all the time. Two
minutes can be a long time to wait... Following with the lead was okey also, in spite of the turnaround but that was totally
my fault. I didn't do the right "choreography" but now we are working on that.
31.5.07 Pallo's new picture
27.5.07 TTTT= Training, tracking, trimming, trialing :P The obedience training course still continues for few weeks and I have to say I'm really satisfied with the course and
everything we have learned already so far. Last two weeks I have intensively trained with Pallo stopping and jumping because
those have been a little bit undertrained all the time. Also I should start concentraiting on the contact again because it
is obvíous that when others are around the contact don't last as long as at home. So more distraction on the contact training.
And what is it with the German shepherds :| That's the ultimate distraction. Pallo just looses everything if one of those
shows nearby. Totally uncontrolable then. I just can't figure out where that comes from and what to do but for some reason
she just can't stand them. Not even in a close distance. That is a bit of an problem because if some race, those you will
most likely see in obedience tests.
6.5.07 Updating, updating Okey, I admit I have been a bit lazy to put any proper updates here but today I decided to change that. So there are
updates not only here at news but little things also Who is Pallo and links pages. But the most important update is the
offical hip result. Pallo has A hips :D which is fantastic news! So now there are 4 dogs hip-graded from this litter and
all have A hips. Interesting to see what kind of blup-index Pallo will get now.
22.4.07 Healthy girl During past few weeks there has been two new health checks for Pallo. Her eyes were clinically tested clear (no HC-,
PRA- tai RD-alterations) today and she was hip-scored three weeks ago. We are still expecting the offical results for hips
but they should be just fine. 15.4.07 Spring time Okey, I shouldn't have said anything about the heat last week. Of course it hasn't started yet! So I'm guessing it
will start exactly that week when our obedience training begins, like it did last autumn. But let's wait and see.
8.4.07 Happy Easter Lately we have been seeing new cocker spaniel friends who live nearby and also visited new dog parks. It's been fun to
meet all and I'm hoping we could make it a regular event to meet up once in a while so our lop-ears can play around
and have some fun.
25.3.07 In Hollola, again :D Last two weeks have been really quiet around here. Only thing is that I have started to remind Pallo of all the old
obedience moves we practised last autumn. Some things goes still quite nicely some other not that well. But that was somehow
expected after 4 months winter break. I didn't mean to keep that long break but somehow time went so quickly I didn't even
realize it. But hopefully I manage to bring us back to the same level we were in the end of last year before our next
obedience course starts in April.
11.3.07 Taking Klara home Unfortunately, today I had to take Klara back to Espoo although I would have gladly kept her here even longer. She and Pallo got along so well and obviously Pallo enjoyed having some company. Actually I didn't take her home, I dropped her to place where Pallo's brother Floyd lives. Vappu had been staying there and they both would be picked up home from there later in the evening. We took the dogs for a walk to the nearby fields before we said goodbye to Klara and left home with Pallo. It was nice meeting you, Floyd's gang, hope to see you soon again :D Later there will be more picture of Klara's visit in the gallery, but for now few pictures as a teaser below.
8.3.07 Klara visiting :D Finally I have some time to update these pages properly. On Tuesday after attending dog handling training I went to pick
up Klara, Pallo's mom, to stay with us till the end of this week. Since then it has been...should I say...interesting :D
First evening girls were just running around and playing with each other but already yesterday the atmosphere was totally
different. I don't know what they had been doing here during the day but when I arrived home both were sleeping and looking
very tired :D And everything was in order. So everything is going on nicely, only thing is that it feels a little bit crowded
on the couch and also in the bed during the night. But I'm too soft to throw them away :D
4.3.07 Well, after few really busy weeks at work I decided to do something with Pallo and once again I took her to match show so I can even some levels try to satisfy my eagerness to take her to real dog shows. But I have to admit I'm not sure are these shows really worth it but at least we get valuable training to real shows and at the same time it is a chance to support local dog clubs. But this time either we didn't get much of a success and the only thing to bring back home was a mud roan dog :P Now all the mud is gone and THE blue roan dog is very tired and resting on the couch but only after trying to steal the pizza from the table :P
18.2.07 Trimming day Today we went all the way to Espoo visit Pallo's breeder for trimming and there we also met the cutest little dog ever :D And by that I mean Pallo's half sister Vappu. Below in the picture you can see what Vappu thought of Pallo, I think the expression on her face tells everything :D I also tryed to take pictures of Klara with her two girls but as you can imagine; no success there :P But there is the after trimming picture of Pallo so now there's chance to compare what a change happened in her with a little trim.
4.2.07 Quiet weekend Nothing interesting really happened during this weekend. Just a usual walk on saturday in Korso's forest so Pallo could run freely and today because of my laziness to go for a proper walk we visited a dog park. Luckily there was other dogs also this time so Pallo had someone to run with. Few pictures below from the park.
29.1.2007 Monthly visit to Hollola Because last weekend we couldn't go to visit Nuuti & Co. to Hollola (we attended to unoffical dog show which is called match show) we followed through the plan yesterday. I was not only taking finally back all the stuff that was left behind when Nuuti was here in daycare for few days, I was also delivering meat to the boys :D My little girl can't handle that much meat I got from the local shopkeeper so luckily Jaana was willing to take the rest. And while we were there we went for a two hour long walk to the forest. It finally seems that this time the winter weather will last and it was fun to see dogs enjoying themselves in the snow. Few pictures below and the rest will be soon to be seen in the gallery.
27.1.2007 Winter is finally here, part II :D
20.1.07 Sunny winter day Luckily Pallo got better much faster than I had expected. She was eating normal food already on Friday although in the
begining it seemed not to be good idea but this morning everything looked just fine.
17.1.07 Bad day (and night) Pallo became sick yesterday and was nauseous whole night but luckily today she doesn't seem that under the weather anymore. I've been giving her small amounts of water during the night and this morning, and now she has been eating small portions of rice successfully. So hopefully this was just a scare and she will be her normal hyperactive herself in no time. So everyone keep your fingers crossed! 14.1.07 Winter is finally here... ...at least it was snowing today. But you never know whether it stays this time either. Anyway, this afternoon Pallo got a chance to play with Marika's dogs Pinja and Mikki but ended up playing with 5 months old labrador retriever almost the whole one and half hours. Maybe I should consider buying labrador retriever puppy instead of cockerspaniel next time ;) It seems that Pallo needs a bit bigger dog to run with or she gets bored. But nice meeting you Marika again and hopefully we will meet soon again. Maybe next Friday ;) 4.1.2007 New Year, new tricks and new language. So from now on everything in these pages will be in english :P
