There have been lack of time to gather photos together from our specialty.

I'm going to do that later. We had a great time with many international and domestic friends. Thank you all!

Dakarai basenjis had a really nice success in Finnish Basenji Specialty 2009 under Mrs Kay Eldred (Jebelmarra basenjis, Australia).

Q's (Am SunDiata's Different Equation) kids cleared the table in puppy ring. Q's son Hanishan Quiet Zone went up to BIS-puppy, and her litter sister H. Que Sera Sera was BOS. Our own Ani (Dakarai Q'Ute) was 2nd best female puppy (5-7 months).

In older puppies (7-9 months) Bea (Dakarai Beyond Belief) was first with HP and went 2nd best female puppy in show, and her sister Hertta (Dakarai Burning Sun) following her as 2nd in class with HP. Ansa (Dakarai Byzance Pearl) was 3rd. Big brother to these girls Dakarai Beg N'Steal (Sing) went 2nd best male puppy in show.

Unna (Dakarai Pillow Talk) was best brindle female in show. And Unna's brother D. Piece of Cake aka Pajson (from Sweden) was 2nd best brindle male in show.

Dakarai breeders group (I showed all brindles!!) was BIS-3 from 5 different groups!

Estonian Winner 2009

Fin & Ee Ch, Fin Racing Champion

Dakarai Jamili Lina, 'Pinja'

On June 6th we showed in Estonian Winner 2009.

Unna (Dakarai Pillow Talk) competed in intermediate class with excellent rating. But unfortunately at this time she felt a bit tired after travelling (her first trip) and she didn't place in the best bitch competition. Pinja (Dual Ch Dakarai Jamili Lina) won in champion bitches, and placed as 2nd best bitch with res-cacib.

Our darling Bea-baby (Dakarai Beyond Belief; 7 months 4 days) went up to "BIS-6" puppy: she was shortlisted among the 6 best puppies of the show, but in the end no placing for us.

On the next day, June 7th we took part in an estonian group show for FCI 5 group. Pinja was awarded with Estonian CC, and it qualified her as a new Estonian Ch. She was 4th best female. Baby-Bea went this time up to BIS-2 puppy! WOO HOO!

Lot's of things have happened since last updates.

Fin Rc Ch, SMM-08 Dakarai Jamili Sharab took her last CC from LC field and was qualified as Finnish Lure Coursing Champion - now Kongo is second dual champion from our J-litter. Pinja took also part in this competition despite of her phantom pregnancy. She was 3rd.

One the same day Unna (Dakarai Pillow Talk) was shown in Helsinki Int Show. Unna was handled as 3rd best bitch with res-Cacib by her owner Kati Tervalammi.

Dakarai Pin's N'Needles (Hippu) ran first time and was awarded with CQ, and after finals she was 4th. Lyyli (Fin Ch Dakarai Jamili Hadiya) ran first time ever in LC competition and as well Hero (Dakarai All Chocolate) and both got also to finals. Hero was 4th in male group, and Lyyli 5th in female group. Unfortunately two got disqualified. Better luck next time, after some rest.
