Anne's honey Ani Our sweet honey, THE Grand-Old-Lady and Boston of all the bostons Ani has left us 1.10.2006, due to aging.

Ani-Antsu-Antero was a legend, even when she was alive. She left also significant offspring behind.

Ani lived her life with great passion, but the weakness of the aging was too strong. Ani left us at the age of 14 years and 5 months. Her heart was like "a young dog", but the aging and coldness of fall left no obtions.

Rest In Peace our little cutie!!

Allways missing you,

AUGUST 2006

♦ In the Toy Dog specialty on Sunday 28.8. our Lola was chosen as a BOB-veteran. Only 9-years old 'Lillis' represented herself well in the breed ring and group ring. In the group finals Lola were picked amoung the 8 most beautiful toydog veterans of this special show. Lola is going to be like her distinguished mother Ani.
Both the BOB and BOS were also Miniblack's related. As many years before the beautiful siblings of Roni's were chosen as BOB and BOS. Well done daughter and son of Miniblack's Oh Sweet Arnold's! ;-)

Hämeenlinna International Dog Show 26.8.2006
♦ In the beautifully sunny Hämeenlinna our bostons did great job. In the all categories where our bostons were presented, our bostons won everything. The judge was from Czech called Bozena Ovesna. Here you are able to find all the results:
Hämeenlinna

Miniblack's Second to None our little one "Ninni" was chosen BOB-puppy in her second show. She was also BOB-puppy in the first show. Lola was BOB-veteran ;-). Best Male was our champion Waldemar. Right after him became brothers Hotsi ja Iikkoo, leaving all the other males behind. In the Best Bitch class was daughter Sissi second and mother Geri third. We won the breeder's class with Waldemar, Geri, Hotsi and Iikkoo with judge's praise 'Super Gruppe'.

Waldemar was best male and BOS at the end. Also the siblings got well - both got the finnish certificates and international cacibs. Because both the best bitch and best male were already international champions, so the reserve cacibs will be given to Hotsi and Sissi by the FCI. Not bad at all the young ones.

In August....
♦ Few nice results from us... Hotsi, Miniblack's Hot Stuff continues his career with Agility. This time he won in Agility in Helsinki, Ruoholahti.

Lissu, Miniblack's Tiny Legend (not yet linked) won BOS in Pyhäsalmi in 13.8. The judge was Paavo Mattila from Finland. Well done Sipe & Satu.

19.8. in Kouvola our Lilla-Lola was BOB-veteran and Miniblack's breeders class was BOB. This time in the class were presented Lola, Milo, Geri and Lempi.

Puppy Show in Helsinki 5.8.2006
Ninni in puppyshow BOB-puppy and BIG-3

♦ 7-months old Ninni started her show career in the first puppy show. Ninni Miniblack's Second to None was on Saturday 5.8. in a puppyshow BOB puppy. In the group finals in toydog group, she was placed as high as 3.rd place. Great job for a newcomer! ;-) The judge was Marja Kurittu.
Ninni presented herself both nicely and badly, but still the judge thought that Ninni is a great future hope despite of her "bit lively actions" in the ring... But anyway the boston puppies should act like a lively and friendly bostons, shouldn't them?

♦ Some Healthresults!
Our younger generation Sissi ja Helmi were in the eye- and knee- examinations. Both were registred healthy - not PRA, HC, RD and knees were tested normal. The results for both knees were 0 for both girls.

Kata on the right In the Mäntsälä show were many youngsters looking for a certificate of Finnish Championship. There were no champion bitches.

Our 1-year old Kata (Miniblacks Tiny Cutie) got the certificate in front of the all the others. The judge was hungarian Annamaria Tarjan. Our Kata was Best of Opposite Sex, Great Cutie-Kata! Congratulations all the owner in Lahti!
Hotsi (Miniblack's Hot Stuff) has been in Helsinki Purina Arena on the 10th of July in a Agility competition. He won his own class. There were at least 20 dogs compiting, I think the result was not bad at all. Congratulations Hotsi and the owner Pirjo. Afterwards Hotsi was awarded with a cooling swim in a lake nearby. Here's all the results in finnish; agilityurheilijat.

International Dog Show in Pärnu, Estonia 17.6.2006
In Pärnu BOB & BOS, in the middle the judge

♦ We came home with Miisa from Estonia along with the “BOB bitch” and “BOS male” of the day. The young Sissi (Miniblack's Hot Gossip) won the cousin Waldemar (Miniblack's Wee Willie Winkie). She was BOB. Sissi got her first CACIB, because it’s now possible to win (old enough). During the same trip Waldemar became our newest INTERNATIONAL BEAUTY CHAMPION. The greatest congratulations also to the owners Miisa and Kari.

The judge was also a bostonbreeder - Inese Pablaka. In the show the other dogs were also from Finland ;-) The second best male was an American male but Finnish owned Oui's The One and after Sissi were the rest of the Finnish bitches.

♦ In Tuuri western part of Finland on Sunday 18.6. became our Iikkoo BOS. He got also the certificate. In this show was the judge also a boston breeder - Leni Nousiainen. Pretty nice results we got during only one weekend. It’s also pleasure that the judges are also interested in this breed, I mean breeders themselves. That’s why the winnings tasted even better.

Sweetest puppies are now 4 weeks.


EUROPEAN WINNER SHOW IN FINLAND 10-11.6.2006
Lola BOB-veteran our breeder’s class waiting for our turn.
The last time “The European Winner Show” was held in Helsinki approx. 15 years ago. This time on Sunday 11.6. was shown about 30 bostons, even so far like Italy. This is huge amount, if you compare this with the low amount of bostons in Europe. The judges were Jorge Nallem (juniors) the other classes were judged by Dutch Peter van Montfoort.

Our juniors did not get so much like our veteran Lola. "Grand old lady" Ani (14yrs.) gave space to to daughter of hers in the show ring, and our Lola enjoyed the show environment. Lola got one extra title and she is now also EuVW-06.

Our breeder class also was “BOB breeder’s class”. That’s the reason why our dogs were able to see in Television (channel 4) two separate times.

♦ Pictures of the latest litter at the age of 1-, 2 -, and 3 weeks is able to see here here. Tomorrow we will be in European Winner Show in Helsinki.

♦ In a dog show in Mänttä on 4.6.2006 chose the judge Paavo Mattila Iikkoo Best of Breed. Congratulations Iikkoo!


MAY 2006

Maskuline male and feminine female?
We are often asked how do we know the influence of Sex. It's quite easy: In a comparison of specimens of each sex, the only evident difference is a slight refinement in the bitch's conformation. In this picture the difference is easily seen, the difference of a bitch and a male.

Act as 'mannequins' here showed the cousins Hotsi aka Miniblack's Hot Stuff and Nasu aka Miniblack's Tiny Delight.

♥ At us was born our record litter 19.5.2006. We got extremely many puppies - only one male but five females. Here's the first pictures of them and more information will be followed every week. The mother and the puppies are doing fine and are healthy. ;-)

♦ Read here the extremely funny Nekku-boston diary of Nekku's. Increadible stories, but unfortunately only in Finnish.

INT dog show in Helsinki on 21.5.2006
Atmosphere in Helsinki

♦ In the international dog show in Helsinki on 21.5 was the english judge and boston terrier breeder Terence Burgess. The judge made BOS Veeti. The happiest suprise was made by Sissi. She was BB2, and got the cc and res- cacib. The last one will be changed to the real Cacib and so Sissi got the first attachment to International Beauty Champion. Two of the youngest has to train a bit, though. ;-) Helmi (10 months) looked like a rabbit, because she was jumping in the ring.


Bostonly happy Mother's day to all mothers
especially to my own patient and excellent mother, Anneli!
You're the best!


Ani ja Veera 14 years on 4.5.2006 - and our supergrannies are still going strong
♦ We appoint the day of 4.5.2006 to the Great Day of Miniblack's. Our supergrannies Ani ja Veera are today 14 years. We have had many over 10 years old bostons, Our record holder is still Ukko Miniblack's Miracle Man. He was 2 months less than 15 years when he died. Maybe that's the record in Finland also? We are so pleased that Veera and Ani are also carrying on this pleasant history.

♦ Soon we will be having next litter of Miniblack's family. Of course our supergranny is in the pedigree of them also.


Happy birthday supermammies

NORDIC WINNER-05 & NORDIC JUNIOR WINNER-05

Miniblack's Hot Topic

Qualified for Crufts in England
Our show calender for the year of 2005 ended enjoyable in the Nordic Winner Show. In Helsinki on 18.12.2005 were nearly 40 bostons enrolled all over the Nordic countries. There were about seven to eight bostons from Sweden and Norway and of course all the best bostons in Finland. This dog show was "The World's biggest 1-day dog show", alltogether over 7000 dogs per day.

Our youngster Iikkoo was first Junior Winner 2005 and afterwards he amazingly got the BEST OF BREED title and the Nordic Winner 2005 -title. It was a quite suprise to get these titles, because there compiting for example multible world winner, multi champions (for example American Champ) and the all the stars of the today in Finland in this same show.

Thank you Anu and Markku, Keep up the Good Work with the brilliant Iikkoo!!!!

Iikkoo debuted also in the television. Our national television Channel4 showed Iikkoo in the documentary of the 'The biggest dog show in the world' (over 7000 dogs judged during one day). In the new years' eve there will be repeat broadcast in Channel4.
ps. My 3 years old goddaughter annoused in the morning that the winner dog is on the table when I was showing Iikkoo there. She really has a good eye for bostons.
