                Now it`s official and we received the document from the Austrian Kennel Club "ÖKV"
                    for our dear Mika`s already 6.th Championtitle. It`s really like a big Christmas present
                    for us and we can proudly announce our new                                                   

                06.12. - 07.12.03 Successful Show-weekend in Wels, Austria 

                At the end of this showyear we visited this wonderful country Austria again,
                    where our dear ESS Ch. Foogel Spotlight "Mika" was entered first on the

                    International Show in Wels. For our very big joy he continued there his real winning

                    ways super well and received Excellent 1, CACA, Kl.Ch. Anw., CACIB and ...
                   

                                                    B O B - "Best of Breed"  
 

                                    
                                                             Judge Mr. B. Richter, D

                   

                     But this should be not enough for our finnish boy and in this very big honorary

                     showring, where he do love it so much to present himself in real best showmood

                     and full of spirit, he was even placed this time again and as one more big highlight
                     of this once again really very successful showyear, he received  under the wellknown
                     breed specialist Mr. L. Pichard,CH

 

                                    BIG - 2  "BEST OF GROUP 2" 

                           
 

                  With this last needed CACA fulfilled our dear Mika all suppositions for his

                                                    Austrian Champion Title,

                   which one is already applied and is first allowed to be official published  after
                   confirmation like other Championtitles too. It`s really indescribable, how proud
                   and happy we are again about our wonderful Mika and for sure no better end of
                   this once again very successful showyear would be possible for us.   

               18.-19.10.03 - Animalia 2003 Lausanne, CH               

                First time we visited this big show event in Lausanne, which was really a very

                   interesting experience for us too. Just on saturday our English Springer Spaniel

                   Ch. Foogel Spotlight "Mika"started there as the only undocked one of his breed

                   and received under the france judge Mme Y.-M. Drouillard, Excellent 1, CAC-Res.

                   and happily CACIB-Res. too. On sunday he got under the next france judge Mme

                   Stephan, Excellent 1 again. Of course it was really bit strange for us to see, that the

         winners on both days were only docked English Springer Spaniels like mainly by the

                   other Spanielbreeds too.

                   Indeed, now we know, how much important can be especially the tail of dogs !

                    05.10.03 -  Swiss Spaniel Club Show in Wangen a.d. Aare

                    Our big praise to the great showteam, which has organized this show really well in a

                    real beautiful decorated hall, which is mentioned "Salzhaus".

          This day should be one more big Highlight of Mika`s continued winning ways and he received

                    there under the Judge Mr. Carlos Saevich, Excellent 1, CAC, BOB and got this great title

                                             Swiss Club - Winner 2003  

                     But it seems, that this was not enough for our young man and finally he crowned 

                     this absolutely most successful day by winning his already 5.th

                                         B I S - " Best in Show "                

 

                      For our very big joy we also met there Mika`s lovely daughter "Duschka de Syringa" again,

                      which was also very successful on this show and won her Class with Excellent 1 and was been

                      Juniorwinner !! Of course we are very proud about this lovely Lady, who is doing so well.

                    Finally our Mika ended as one of the 3 Best of Group, but unfortunatelly there was given ONLY

                    ONE price for the winner and the others two were not at all even placed. This was really very strange

                    and sad, just after to be really one of the best in this strong Group Final !   

                                                                          Impressions from BOB- Competition out of video

                      On this show there was a competition about the increment of entries from all Breed Clubs, where the
