Activities / Hobbies:
Shows:
Kepe has not been shown that much as I'm not that interested in running often in the show rings. The idea is just to go to shows from time to time to see what the judges have to say about him.
>> FI MVA (Finnish champion)
>> Results: Res-Cacib, 3 x CC, BOS, 2x BM2
>> Best Working class male in Toller Show 2009
Retrieving:
Kepe has always been very interested in retrieving and very spontaniouse with game. He passed the basic retrieving test with his first try when he was just over one year old. Now we are training more and planning to start in the hunting tests in the future. Kepe has also been with us hunting and he will be used for that in the future, too for sure.
>> Results: NOU1 (passed retrieving test)
Blood tracking:
Kepe was only few months old when he tried blood tracking for the first time and as he trusts his nose in other things, too, easily, this has been fun for him. Kepe seems to be eager in tracking and he has taken part in two official trials in open class and from both he has got a 1st price, then in the winner class he has now also several 1st prizes and he's a finnish tracking champion.
>> FIN JVA (Finnish tracking champion)
>> New comer of the year in blood tracking 2007, Savon Nuuskut
>> Actual hunting situation, first time early 2009: found the wounded white-tailed deer
>> Results: 4 x VOI1 (1st prize in winner class), 2 x AVO1 (1st prize in open class)
Obedience:
We have been training obedience from the first day, but this is not our main hobby and we haven't been training so intensively for the trials and that shows also in the only obedience trial result we have had with Kepe.
>> Results: ALO3 (3rd prize in beginner's class)
Mental test:
Kepe has also tested in the mental test that is designed for working dogs. Kepe did approximately as I thought he would: lively dog, soft but with ability to action and secure to shots.
>> +120 points and secure to shots
Kepe 3,5 years old
