3 months old

Farlanders B-litter is 3 months old now:)

All our puppies have found their new homes. Farlanders Because I Can “Tjorven” and Farlanders Busy Bumblebee “Bee” will stay with us at kennel Farlanders and will be our next generation show dogs. Farlanders Barefoot Vagabond is co-owned by us but will live in Pärnu with his new family. Farlanders Boy With Chill Attitude moved near to Tallinn and Farlanders Buster On A Mission is living in Tartu now. We are happy that all our puppies stayed in Estonia, so we will have the opportunity to see them quite often.

In last 3 weeks we have had 3 dog shows :)

31.03 Rakvere all breed show
9 basenjis were entered under judge Markku Mähönen (Finland). We had the honor to have Stormy showed by his grandmother Tiina Taavitsainen (kennel Bulldobas) who drove over 500 km twice to be there. Tiina thank you so much and it was so nice to see you and Heiki again. Stormy enjoyed being handled by Tiina and they finished the show by being BOB and BIG-3 :)

01.04 Rakvere all breed show
On Sunday basenjis were entered under judge Joanna Szczepanska-Kopetta (Poland). And once again Stormy and Tiina did it by being BOB. Unfortunately Tiina had to leave before the finals for the ferry. Luckily Stormy’s favorite junior-handler Triin Vasemägi was able to show him in finals, and they did such a fantastic job together by being BIG-2 and BIS Junior-4 :) Thank you Triin so much for handling this busy boy.

14.04 Tallinn Winner 2012 show
11 basenjis were enterd under judge Krystyna Opara (Poland)

10 years with basenjis

It has been busy few weeks at kennel Farlanders.

Firstly we celebrated of having basenjis in our life for last 10 years. On 10th of March 2002 we brought home beautiful brindle basenji boy Flash, who lighted our love for this breed. I must say that best memories in my life are connected with my basenjis and I could not live without them.
I hope that the new owners of my puppies will experience also all of this and have a new fantastic addition to their life. I am so thankful for Helena Strömbert and Rita Tali for giving me the possibility to know this breed and have them in my life.

On last Friday Jaro (Farlanders Buster On A Mission) moved to his new home. Yesterday Chilli (Farlanders Boy With Chill Attitude) moved away also. Both of boys are going to live with children :)

We still have very promising puppies for show homes as a co-owned basenjis.

Stormy got ex 1, JUN CAC, BOB JUN  and BOB. With this he became EST JCH. In finals we had super success being BIG-4 and BIS JUN-3.

Summary of 2011

It is time to sum up the year 2011 in kennel Farlanders.
We are extremely happy to say that this year has been incredible: we had our first litter, we got two new family members and we had unbelievable show year. Lots and lots of memories to remember forever :)

Most of these unbelievable memories are thanks to our super prince Stormy.
It is incredible what this boy has done in the show rings.

9 shows in Puppy class, in all of them he was BOB puppy and twice BIS-1, twice BIS-2 and twice BIS-3 Puppy.
Up to this moment 6 times in Junior class, 3XBOB Junior, 2XJUN CAC, FIJW-11 title and BIS-4 Junior placement in International Show.
And then at our all breeds unofficial puppies and veterans X-mas show Stormy went all the way to the BIS-1 Junior and then to the whole show BIS.

All of this is so unbelievable, not only to have a great show dog, but to be breeder of this fantastic boy. So biggest thanks goes to my Mom and Tiina Taavitsainen (kennel Bulldobas) for making this dream come true. Thank you all judges who where there and made this possible, in particular: Stelios Makaritis, Bozena Ovesna, Rita Kadike- Skadina, Aleksei Belkin, Elžbieta Augustyniak, Natalya Sedyh, Anatoly Zhuk, Gerard Cox and Anne Klaas.
