Highlights of 2005

We had again a very active year at Clefell's kennels. Our dogs had success in shows on both sides of the Atlantic. At the breeding front, our M litter saw daylight in the autumn. Two very promising male puppies from this litter were exported to the USA. In December, the newest addition to our breeding stock was made, as a male puppy from Poland arrived in Finland.

Kennel Clefell's - Breeder of the Year 2005
Kennel Clefell's was the most succesful breeder in Finland in 2005 by winning our breed club's the "Breeder of the Year" competition. Our progeny was awarded the Best Breeders' Group Prize at four international shows and the National Specialty, where we further placed BIS4. I would like to thank all Clefell's team members for your great job in 2005! Without your commitment and support this would have not been possible.

Clefell's Jaguar - Number 1 GP in USA
"Jagger" is the most successful German Pinscher in the USA for 2005. He won the National Specialty in the USA second time in a row, and also won three group placements in tight competition.

Clefell's Kosmopolitan - Number 2 Bitch in Finland
"Kidi" was actively campaigned this year. She finished her Champion title and as number two in breed rankings.

Clefell's Gentleman - Number 3 Dog in Finland
"Rasmus" was only moderately shown this year, but nevertheless placed as number three in breed rankings. He placed as the second best male in our National Specialty under Rodi Hübenthal, a breeder-judge from Sweden. Rasmus also won a few BOB's at international shows and actively participated in our Breeder's Groups.

Clefell's Emerald Empress - Number 5 Bitch in Finland
Our nearly veteran bitch "Miisa" took it easy and was only moderately shown, but still placed as number five in breed rankings.

Clefell's Heartbreaker - Number 7 Dog in Finland
"Hugo" was actively campaigned and finished as number 7 in breed rankings. He now needs only one CACIB to finish his international Champion title.

Clefell's Lancelot - Number 8 in USA
"Lance" was only moderately shown in 2005. He finished as number 8 in breed rankings and became AKC Champion in the spring.

EXPORTS
We exported two dogs, Clefell's Midas and Maximus to the USA.

IMPORTS
We imported a promising male puppy Bemus Albion from Poland. Albion will debute at shows next spring.
