Kielo (Finnish for 'lily of the valley') joined the household in October 2009. She is the granddaughter of Hertta and therefore extra precious to me. Kielo is co-owned with Tapio Kakko of the Jäkäläkummun kennel. Her show career has been off to a flying start as she took Best in Match in her very first match show, and went all the way to Runner-up to BPIS at the 40th Specialty show of The Lapphund Club of Finland. This and other successes in the puppy class made her joint Top Finnish Lapphund Puppy 2010. Kielo's first appearance in the junior class took place when she was nine months and one day old, and I was gobsmacked when she took the second place in the bitch challenge and was awarded a reserve CC out of an entry of 42 Lappies! Her second time out went even better as Kielo went all the way to best bitch taking her first CC. On her third outing she not only won her second CC but went on to take BOB, Group-1 and Runner-up to BIS. Fourth show - third CC, BOB, and Group-4. And so on. At the age of two years and one week, Kielo had no less than 13 conformation titles to her credit! Furthermore, she has six CACIBs towards her C.I.B title from five different countries (Finland, Sweden, Norway, Romania, and Bulgaria), i.e. she only needs one more after the "one year and one day" rule is fulfilled (the countdown started in June '11). The future definitely looks exciting! Kielo is a most charming little girl and I would like to thank both breeder Saara and co-owner Tapio for letting me have her!
