In the beginning of this blog I made a post about Nelli, and now it's Ninja's turn :)

When the puppies were born we made a visit to their breeders, Esa & Laura Ruotsalainen. I immediately fell in love with the tiny Ninja. Ninja was so little, that her breeder told me she maybe wasn't going to grow even to a kleinspitz! I thought that too when I looked at her.. But I decided to take that risk, that she wasn't ever going to be a showdog, if she wouldn't grow to a kleinspitz. In Finland we can't change the breed to pomeranian, that's why (which is by the way a great thing!).

So the beginning of July came, and we got both Nelli and Ninja home. I thought about names a lot, and decided it would be either Minnie or Ninja. I asked for opinions about the name and came to the decision that it would be Ninja. And I haven't regretted it! :)

The waiting started.. Would she grow over 23 cm? I gauged her almost every day.. And so finally she reached 23 cm. What a happy day! And now she's even higher than Nelli.. 25-26 cm I think. And what did she become...

Then our first show would take place. The very first show wasn't a small start, because it was down in Slovenia in EUW-10 show! She was 4 months old and there was a baby-class. Ninja was BOB-BABY both days, and in the speciality she won BIS-3 BABY. That was huge!

In the first Finnish puppy show it was a little quieter start. Under judge Kirsi Honkanen Ninja got HP and 2nd place. The judge thought she was a little too pom-alike. The start of her beautiful career started in her 5th show, still in puppyclass. First she was BOB-puppy out of 4 puppies and the in the finals she got res. Best In Group! I was speechless.. My mini-Ninja ♥

She's got the looks, but more importantly, her character is so fine. She's friendly to everyone, and doesn't bark a lot. She's just a "chill" dog who knows how to relax. Love her!
Here below two videos of Ninja in Kokkola INT show where she won BOS, BOB-JUNIOR and CAC :)
We'll see what we can achieve in the future.. I'm so excited!
ps. Not this, but next weekend we'll have a show! yeeey! And I've got a dog to compete with also! I will compete the other day with the beautiful wheaten terrier "Martta". Can't wait!
