Zelina was born in Lizas second litter. For a long time it was decided to keep a female puppy from this litter - we really wanted a daughter of Liza. There were two female puppies in this litter, quite different in type. All the way we knew in our hearts wich one we wanted to keep, but we told ourselfe to be openminded and not decide anything too early. We never changed our minds...
From very young age, Zelina has been a happy girl who has given us so much joy and pleasure every day. She is especially attaced to her "mum" Vanja, probably because Zelina is something very speciale to her. In Zelina we have got very much of what we hoped for, and we think she will be a super bitch for our future breeding plans.
Her temprement is something we are most glad for - she is cool and laydback, handles sudden noise and other uncomfortable happenings in a very controlled way.
Zelina is not a small bitch, and she is quite powerful. But she also has plenty of elegance, a kind and loving expression and beautiful coloures. In the showring she carries herselfe with great style and attitude, making her mum so proud!
Zelina is still young, but has done way better than we hoped for in the showring. In her debute, at a spaniel speciality show in Oslo, she became Best In Show Puppy - only 5 months old. Frist time in juniorclass, 9 months old and a few days old, she became Finnish Junior Winner and got this lovely critique from judge Paula Hekkinen-Lehkonen:
"Very well developed, showy, strong young bitch. Exc bone. Exc head. Long neck. Well developed withers. Beautiful topline. Exc angulation. Good depth & volume in the body. Good broad thigh. Well angulated behind. Beautiful coat."
First time in juniorclass here in Norway, Zelina became Best Of Breed at the int. Kennel Club Show in Bø i Telemark. Judge Arja Koskelo gave Zelina this critique:
”She has just taken my heart. Gorgeous!”
Well, Zelina has also taken our hearts, and we really look forward to the future with her!
