Dec. 27 – again visiting “relatives” at Haanja, as a year ago. This time I had only Rianna with me, because Pille’s dogs were in heat and my boys had to stay at Kristiina’s. But Rianna had fun, as there’s pleny if snow in South Estonia. We also visited Rianna’s brother River (Tramin River of Dreams) in Vastseliina.
Dec. 6th – traditional Christams show for puppies and veterans and Rianna’s first show. Coming by train was a bit strange, but the show was sooo exciting: so many different dogs! As there was enough opportunity to practice standinhg and moving in the ring, it all went well when her time to shine came. She was 2nd in her class. / На шоу для щенков и ветеранои Рианна была вторая в свём классе. (Pildi eest aitäh/ thanks for the photo/ спасибо за фото Olga Sagun)
