Last weekend The Ridgeback Club Of Finland arranged a Club Show and we had several dogs attending. First out was Topi. He hasn't been in the ring since a little puppy but he remembered the game and we had so much fun! Topi was showed in open class, pets.

Kyösti Chaos's SmartDOG Puppy Test report has arrived, and here is a brief summary. The test was very much in line with Kyösti's character, charging ahead without asking for help or apologizing at this stage of life. In Kyösti's opinion, he can do everything on their own. In everyday life, there is no shortage of speed with this one, and challenges will continue for quite some time. But a "shake before use" type like this is just so nice 😍. Despite all the chaos, Kyösti focuses 100% on tasks, both in the test and in everyday life. He just needs to be given a lot of tasks...

The litter report, which includes all tested siblings, will arrive next week.

"At the beginning of the test, Kyösti was overwhelmingly open to the new tester and quickly familiarized himself with the new environment. Kyösti was highly motivated throughout the test and focused very well on the tasks. Kyösti is not afraid of anything in the test and is very energetic throughout. In the cylinder test, Kyösti showed good self-control, although there might be a bit of impulsiveness in them. Kyösti understood human body language well. The problem-solving task related to the environment, the V-fence, was very easy for Kyösti. In the impossible task, Kyösti was definitely more of an independent problem solver (only a few glances at people), and he is also very persistent for a puppy. Kyösti pressed the treat machine in the social learning task but hit the button by accident. Kyösti gets a bit excited here but learned the device's operation through trial and error. Kyösti is not interested in playing, and toys do not work as a reward for him at the moment. Food is the absolute number one!

Kyösti is a very active and brave dog with a great work drive throughout the test. He might have impulsiveness, but it does not show in the cylinder test. He is physically "bold" and do not shy away from strong contact with a stranger. He is also very independent, meaning cooperation does not come naturally but must be carefully built so that the dog feels they benefit greatly from working with a human. Kyösti has a lot of potential and also a lot of challenges."

Kyösti was tested by PhD Katriina Tiira, who originally developed the SmartDOG test in 2016. Kyösti's dam Irma and grandsire Iivo have also been SmartDOG tested.

Super interesting day with Kyösti and 4 of his siblings at SmartDOG Puppy test! All puppies did so well! The common nominators are ie. social behavior, good impulse control and positive attitude. Full test reports will follow next week.

Kyösti himself had a true amusement park experience today. He showed loads of independence and perseverance and tried actively to solve the impossible task for the whole 2 minutes. V-fence took 6 seconds. Treat machine he wanted to figure out himself, saying **** off ladies, I know what I'm doing 🤣This puppy has a lot of motor and motivation! So pleased with him ❤

I'm very happy for all pupppies today and want to express my sincerest thank you to owners for coming ❤ Maybe we get a few more tested during the following weeks 🙂

What a year we had! Thanks to all involved <3 <3 <3

A show summary from 2024. Our team had a really nice year and Lola was our brightest star. During the year Lola gained several champion titles and group/BIS placements around Europe. And in Finland she is crowned, for the second year in a row, as the

Lola's dam Hilda won it in 2015, 2018, 2021 and 2022 so it's been held in the family for quite a while. Huge congrats to Lola's owners Jukka & Janneke! A humble thanks to both of you for your efforts to let Lola shine and keep our flag so high <3

A warm thank you to all others too, for showing your dogs or attending other activities. I'm happy to have you as a part of Lumottu family <3
