Easter bunnies

... or should I say future bunny hunters?! Anyway, Roosa's and Aatu's puppies had their three weeks birthday on Easter, so here are some Easter spirited pictures of them. Two boys are still free to good and active homes.

Sisu, a new champion!

We had a lovely day at Lappeenranta international dog show last saturday. I was handling dogs in the JRT ring, but the best success was gained in the next ring where the Zotzot son Sisu, Entre Nous Icaquier Doux became BOS and Finnish Champion! Warm congratulations, Emma!

It wasn't so bad in the JRT ring either. Jeppe, Entre Nous Janus was second best male and got res-CAC & res-CACIB. Only one CAC is needed for him to become a champion as well, so it was close... Congrats Enni! Thanks to all the other owners for bringing your dogs: Midas (EN Midas) EXC2 junior class, Ruuti (EN Lilaia) EXC, Nuna (EN Lucina) EXC, Zip (EN Medeia) VG and our Pii (EN Elecktra) EXC. Kennel Entre Nous was the BOB breeder too. Here you can see the dogs from the breeding class in not-so-straight-line:

Handsome Aubisq

I made a short trip to Belgium and back and brought a handsome and lovely Aubisq with me. Officially he is called Aubisqbleu du Val d'Ares and let me tell you that he is a real joy and pleasure to have around. You can very rarely meet as balanced and lovely dog as he is!
The reason for Aubisq to stay in Finland is that I am almost desperately waiting for Zotzot daughters NouNou and Titi-uu to start their heat seasons so I can mate them to him. My original idea was to mate them to different males, but now that I have lived with Aubisq for a while I know it would be more than stupid to not use this opporturnity. Besides the wonderful temperament, Aubisq is already ten years old and still healthy.
Thanks a million Jo and Ron, Kennel Debut de Revé, for trusting him to me!

Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there, I did not die.

The three musceteers and the lady

Here they are - the puppies of Aatu (JW-08 Entre Nous Jupiter) and Roosa (Entre Nous Kassiopeia)! Three boys and a girl were born late at night on saturday the 2nd of April. They were named after the three muscateers Athos, Porthos and Aramis and of course Milady Winter aka Lady in short. :)

All three boys are free to good and actve homes.

Midas

I finally found some time to go and meet Midas, the son of Pii from her latest litter. He has grown up to be a handsome boy which I found out after first relieving him from his winter coat:
Midas.

Pyrshep puppies are gone... almost!

Time flies and the spring is almost here. And so the little Zotzot puppies found their new homes, all except for one. The black boy Merlin stayed at home. Everyone knows that taking pictures of a black dog is difficult, so I don't really have any good ones of him. But here is one where he is with his brother Paplo (Entre Nous Clou de Girofle).

There are no decent stand pictures of the boys, but the girls were pictured before they left to their new homes. So, here you go:
