Salo wins Best Puppy in Breed at Crufts under Jeff Horswell
Photo Karen Anderson
Salo finished his puppy career in style, taking Best Puppy at Crufts. It is very difficult to quality a puppy for Crufts, so I felt privileged just being there with him. In fact, he was shortlisted to the final three for Best Dog!
He took it all in his stride, in typical Salo style. He loves to sit on ringside chairs and he also loves licking out yogurt pots, so you can imagine what happened when he spotted a lady sitting ringside with an empty chair beside her and finishing her yogurt ....

You can see the judging of the Dog Challenge at Crufts on the video to the left. PD 1 Mowatt’s Lecibsin Salo of Tabanyaruu, really lovely 13 months dog, masculine head of super balance, good eye & expression, correct neck, very good front, chest just above elbow, well ribbed, correct rear, super profile action. Just a little loose out & back yet but a quality dog who should do very well. BP Pictured left, Salo after winning Group 2 at Horley & District. |
Salo Competes in Junior Classes
My Great Aunt Shelagh spent the day with us, Salo kept her entertained ;-)
February 2013 saw Salo's first classes as a junior. First up was Maidstone & District, where he went Best of Breed in AVNSC & then took Group 4.
The following day he was entered in Finnish Lapphund classes at Horley & District, where under Mary Starling (Starlapps) he won Best of Breed and went on to take Group 2!!
Not a bad start to his 'adult' show career :-)
As usual, he spent as much of the day as possible sitting on my chair! Zinty was also shown and came second out of seven in Open German Spitz Class, I was thrilled!

Salo win Best Puppy in Breed at his last Open Show as a puppy.
On Sunday January 6th Salo competed at Ashford & Faversham Open Show in the Lapphund Breed classes. I was thrilled when he won Best Puppy then went on to win Puppy Group 2! I also learnt that he is joint Top Puppy in Breed for 2012 (according to Our Dogs Newspaper). Only wins at Championship Shows with CCs count towards this award. The other winner was Steve & Elaine Short's Millermead Quintessence to Glenchess. Salo gets one more chance to compete in the 'Special Puppy Class' at Crufts on Sunday March 10th. We have had quite a bit of snow this past week & of course Salo has LOVED it!

When Jukka Kuusisto of Lecibsin Kennels, Finland, sent me the above photos of Salo aged 12 weeks, my heart melted. Here was EXACTLY the dog I'd been searching for and it was as though it was meant to be. Jukka had kept him back wanting him to go to a good show home, and with these good looks and a pedigree to die for, I had to have him. Four weeks later he joined us at TabanyaRuu :-)
