10.9.2006 Grooming day
Six miniature schnauzer owners came together to spend their sunday
by grooming the dogs and learning to condition a dog for the show.
We had a great time together and everyone was quite diligent
during the day.

14.-15.1. Handlercourse
I feel tired, but also very happy about learning so much new today!
Mr. Gerard O'Shea was here third time to teach us about handling
the dogs, -behaviour of the dogs, -the training methods, and the
secrets of competing at dog shows.
Exercises were quite hard not just physically, but also mentally.
Anyone from the class knows what I mean. I'm thrilled - this was
exactly the level that the training should be, if you are going to
develop to success! I was at the class with our dogs Iida, Helmi
and Ella. I want to thank our "puppy"owners Anne and Tanja for
your willing to learn! Thank you Nina, Leena and Kirsi for very
nice weekend, also outside the course!
And Thank You Gerard for opening a whole new world to us!

We had a wonderful day together with Ässä, Wito, Doris (all from
our D-litter) and their owners. We groomed togehter those three "hairballs"
and finally we found three real miniature schnauzers under all
that hair. I would like to thank the owners for being so active
and interested in grooming. -My face is still wet for Ässä's
constant licking!
