Our 3-rd Swedish Hunting (Field Trial) Champion, a third-generation champ and our first home-bred - Gamepoint Painkiller Jane :)
In late november Säde worked herself onto some more field trial prizes - two first prizes (with full points - 10 - for the retrieve on field)in Elite class, at the age of 3,5 years. Statistically, that makes her among the youngest that have fullfilled the Field Trial Champion requirements, also her entire field trial "carreer" has been notably on the short side - 14 entries from youth class to elite class and Field Trial Champion title. Even compared to swedish german pointers, very rarely it is even less than 13-14 entries and usually it seems to be more.Säde's performance rate also looks pretty nice - 4 prizes (2x II prize, 2x I prize) with 4 starts in Open class, 4 prizes (1x II prize, 3x I prize) with 7 starts in Elite class. She still has some maturing to do and we can't wait to see how she will continue to develop.

Lots of new pictures and videos at the "gallery" section (under each dog), feel free to browse through.

After a 4000 km trip to Hungary Säde is now mated with Hunor - Southpaw Duet With Hunsweimaraner - an american field trial bred import that after extremely detailed research made it to the short list of males we want to have a puppy from ourselves, one that seems to complement Säde very well and hopefully will help to set the good qualities of Säde even stronger in. If all goes well, Säde will be hopefully having puppies in mid-April and we'll be keeping a bitch. More info under "PUPPIES", inquiries welcome!

Bruno (Gamepoint Operation Snatch) was Excellent 1, CQ and BOS at the Finnish Continental Breeds Specialty Show, plus got full points from a water test, handled by Mirva (so far it is always Mika starting and training Bruno) - both had zero training before. Well done, Mirva!

Yellow girl (9 weeks old) first time in the water and swimming, doing also her first water retrieves. She kept doing it like a little robot, and after 10-15 retrieves we had to hold her from going in, despite of shivering badly and the other pups playing around she was so focused and motivated. Previously she's had some kind of retrieving tries and game only few times (around 5 and 8 weeks).
