"You cannot always win - not even every times"

Hello!
Today we were in Kajaani Dog Show. Our female master prepared us by washing Otso on Sunday 2nd of January and me on Monday 3rd of January. On Wednesday she cut our nails. Our other master take care of our fysics condition and let us pull him by skies or by sledge. I let our female master tell abou how we succeed.

The last day of the previous year "boys" got a fight when I took them out from their pens. The reason of that fight was empty frosting bags which were covering the elk bones that we gave them before we left to shopping. Because of that fight Otso got a wound from Nalles canine teeth on his left lip which become swollen. Even now they haven't any rancor with each other but layed side by side on our backyard on the same evening.

During the week we practised about showing teeths and bites. With Nalle it went by routine but Otso growled when his left lip was lifted. On Thursday and even on Saturday he was quiet when practised at home again. On the Show place Sami told me when he was looked Otsos' teeth before going to ring it had growled him again so I tried and it didn't let a noise to me.

In the ring it then growled to judge when he lifted its' lips. The judge stopped immediatelly and went back off and came back to try to look Otsos mounth and it growled again. This the judge construed to aggression and disqualified. Of course I understand that it wasn't agreed behavior, but my construe is that Otso tried to warn to hurt him. Nalle got in working class excellent and got a win of class so something good too. ;-)
