Finnish Breeds Seminar

At the European Winners show this weekend in Helsinki there will be a seminar on the Finnish national breeds which will be held in English for foreign visitors on Saturday and Sunday at 2 to 3.30 PM.

The breeds are the Finnish Spitz; the Karelian Bear Dog; the Finnish Lapphund; the Lapponian Herder; and the Finnish Hound. The Finnish Spitz is the Finnish national breed, and the Finnish Hound is the most popular breed in Finland.

The Karelian Bear Dog is used for hunting large game animals, while the Finnish Lapphund and the Lapponian Herder are reindeer herders.

Representatives of breed associations will present about their breeds, after which there will be open discussion. The Finnish national breeds will also be on the stage every day at 11.50 to 12.10 in Hall 1.

Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, Ms. Sonia Fernándes will lecture in English daily at 1 to 4 PM. Her subject on Friday will be "Technical assistance for breeding", on Saturday, "Infertility for breeders", and on Sunday, "Neonatology for breeders".


Border Union Agricultural Society

Border Union committee are pleased with this year's entry, which shows a slight increase on 2005, with 6515 dogs making 7672 entries.

Exhibitor's passes will be sent directly from the show printer, and all enquiries regarding these should initially be made to Fosse Data Systems.

Exhibitors are also reminded to clearly display the special 'hanging' car park labels, as these will allow the vehicle to be directed close to the tent you are benched in.

All those attending the show in Kelso on June 17th and 18th should be aware that Scotland now enforces a ban on smoking in all public places, and this includes all marquees, refreshment areas and the grandstand area within the showground. There is no discretion on the part of Border Union committee and exhibitors are asked to please obey the no smoking notices.

There are three judge changes from the published schedule: The Terrier Group will now be judged by Mrs Olive Jackson, CKCS (Bitches) by Mrs Gill Baker and Boston Terriers by Mrs P Smith.
