Oh, where to start..?! It has been such a great year and the best for our Juno as she has truly made some historic wins that will forever have her an epoch-maker! For example, during the year her 17 KC BOB's has got her placed in the group each time. And of these 17 BOB and group placements, 9 are Group 1st's out of which she is only left without a place in the BIS-line up one single time! Other once in a life time wins for her this year was the awsome Supreme BIS at the 4xSummer Dog Show in Ronneby! And the BIS at the KC Winter Show in Helsinki! She had many more record wins and successes during the year and ended 2004 as #4 Dog Of The Year (all breed KC system). We wont forget any of them!
But the success does not stop there. During this amazing year 3 different Faouziah's besides Juno (Kezan, Weera and Sanna) went KC group winners! And when visiting Denmark Bruno won 2xBIS at the Vilhemsborg double. That too an historic win for the breed! At the breed special in Norway both BOB and BOS where won by Faouziah's, BOB by Kezan and BOS by Ellen. And at the Swedish breed special in Tammsvik (former Skokloster) the prestigeous Best Breeders Group 1st went to Faouziah's. Kennel Faouziah's is also placed #2 Top Breeder in the breed in both Sweden and in Finland and our own Vera is Top Winning Brood Bitch also in both Sweden and in Finland (breed club system). Another historic win for the breed where taken by a Faouziah's and this one in the field of Lure Coursing as Bengt is the first PH ever to become an Norwegian Lure Coursing Champion. At the end of this magnificent year Top Winning PH in Sweden, Finland, Norway and Denmark is all won by Faouziah's hounds. In Sweden and Denmark - Juno, in Norway - Kezan and in Finland - Weera. And with our breeders groups Faouziah's is also placed #7 Breeder Of The Year (all breed KC system).
Thank you all for a year we will never forget! And all the best for the future!
