10.6.2017 ERY-SYD awarded the cats of the year 2017 in their show in Helsinki. Quite exciting to hear the word Gayaneh announced time after time in category 1 results: SC Gayaneh Helius Hilaris ”Nipa” 2nd best adult, IC Gayaneh Littorella Igitur ”Lulu” 3rd best adult, S*Gunbertus Twin Peaks for Gayaneh ”Mortti” 2nd best youngster, CH Gayaneh Juno Primas “Juno” 3rd best youngster, SC Gayaneh Gaudeamus Igitur “Onni” 2nd best breeding male, IC Gayaneh Igitur Iris ”Lili” 1st best breeding female, SC Gayaneh Gratia Illa ”Prim” 2nd best breeding female and, furthermore, Gayaneh the best breeder in category 1.

Helius Hilaris, SC G. Gaudeamus Igitur, SC G. Gratia Illa, IP G. Jaspis Aureus, CH G. Juno Primas, IC G. Littorella igitur ja IC G. Igitur Iris. Warm congratulations!

21-22.1.2017 Gayaneh Helius Hilaris ”Nipa” became Supreme Champion in Lahti (in the home city), which was a perfect reason for a party! The others also received their certificates and G. Littorella igitur ”Lulu” was nominated (again) on Sunday.

8-9.10.2016 ja 15.10.2016 Gayaneh Littorella igitur ”Lulu” was NOM in Hartola both in 8.10. and 9.10. A week later she graduated Champion in Helsinki, where S*Gunbertus Twin Peaks for Gayaneh ”Mortti” had his very first show: EX 1 BIV NOM 🙂

23.7.2016 Supreme Champion Gayaneh Gratia Illa ”that joy” aka Prim graduated in Helsinki! Prim, the super sweet lady, is one of our most awarded ragdolls with over 10 nominations and many votes in panels (but never enough…) However, Prim’s final steps in her career in the new I category turned out to be a challenge: one of the last CACS certificates, the one ”from abroad” was being searched from Scandinavian Winner Show in Helsinki, but no: Michael Edström from Sweden concluded: ”Very sorry but I can’t give the certificate in this high class because of the head which needs more height and muzzle should be more rounded.” The traditional ragdoll type represented by Prim is not so much appreciated by Swedish and Norwegian judges. Thus, Prim had to travel to Tallinn, where Anne Veland (from Middle Europe) without any hesitation gave CACS, saying Prim’s head is ”Ex broad with fine wedge and profile.” Then again a Swedish judge 23.7. in Helsinki, where Prim was seeking for the very last CACS…! Nevertheless, Malin Sudnqvist gave the certificate despite of ”…profile a bit straight. Muzzle a bit narrow.” but overall ”Sweet girl with a stunning body!” Prim is our beloved prima donna, a big girl with such a wonderful temperament ♥
