Very Important Pets
Scrapbook for our VIP -stars!

-All publicity is good publicity-

This is a  page where we are bragging about our dogs who have become some sort of Media Stars, so the page could be considered as a Bedarra Media Center, for example :)

 *Kiki*

Kiki, our new shiba girl, was shown for the first time by us in the Larv-show in the beginning of May-08, and she went directly BOS. As we were exiting the ring, we were first met by Kiki's happy breeder Maria, who gave Kiki a congratulation-hug. At the same second she was approached by a man who presented himself as a reporter of the local newspaper, and then he started to ask questions about Kiki and the dogshows in general. And of course he had to have some pics too... So, at her first show Kiki became immediately nearly a cover-girl! :)

*Espen*

Espen's super-model -career is really taking off... This time the company that made the crystal-necklace of Espen wanted to use him as the model for a new product which they will release shortly: a wristwatch.

So, soon everyone can purchase an Espen-watch of their own:

Another Espen, but not exactly media, -related thing that needs to be given some publicity :) Our puppy-buyer, Niina, who has Vicky and Sani from us, has this Espen statue on her yard:

Espen has been used as the model and the statue itself is done with a chainsaw!

*This isn't exactly a media -thing, but still worth mentioning:
A company that makes breed specific jewellery out of crystal chose Espen to represent siberian husky in their collection! So now everyone can buy themselves their own Espen-necklace:

Due to Espen's success in the Finnish Winner Show in December 2006 he has become some sort of celebrity: he has been on TV, on several internet -sites and in many different magazines, mainly Finnish. Here are few of them. You can click these smaller pics to see a bigger version of the article:

An article in the magazine 'Koiramme'; an official magazine for Finnish Kennelclub
The headline says something like 'the other's couldn't keep up with the husky'

An article in the magazine 'Hundsport'; an official magazine for Swedish Kennelclub
The headline says that 'a half-Swedish husky went BIS in the biggest Finnish Winner show ever'.. Finland had to take some credit for Espen's win as we are afterall Finnish, though we live in Sweden. Yes, we Finns are a treacherous nation :)

An article in Finnish Dog News, 'Koirauutiset', an independent newspaper covering the active dog-world of Finland.

A small article in a free, Finnish newspaper, 'Metro'

Espen was also featured on several websites, such as these:

'Canitalia', www.canitalia.it, an Italian website covering results and much more from different shows in Europe 
They describe the Finnish Winner -show as 'a show with a personality of a World Dog Show'
