Willy and Bitti
tell: "We went to test trip a day before test with our caravan trailer. Master has asked before, if it was possible to stay overnight near the test field. He think that he was so good driver taht small road is enoug for car and trailer! We were excited. During our house building project the trailer was almost without use. Now they backed it! Yeah! We started very early (8 am) on Friday, because they liked to shop something from Tampere to our new home. We arrived to the destination at 7 pm. Our master parked our trailer and car to very narrow field / forest road. He is very skillful trailer driver! We ate our evening food and walked with(in) mosquitos. There were light very early. We arise our master at 6.30am. Then we ate and went to the morning walk. We checked in to the test. Then started boring thing: waiting! Master and mistress watched waht other dogs did, but we stayed at trailer. We have now "normal collars". Usually we don't wear those, but this test we have touse those. Test consisted of many parts. Master and mistress wonder, how our "miss Bitti" carry out this test.”. |
 At teh beginning there were some playing. So we got our muscles warm. left: Bitti and Petteri right: Willy and Anitta |

master and mistress tell: |
|
Jangle sledge
Bitti did like other kooikerhondjes with this
jangling sledge. He was careful and doubtful. He touch it after it has
stopped. |
But Willy! He rushed against the sledge and tried to make it withdraw. Willy said the last word in this battle "VUFF". |
|
Sinister person Dog is fixed to the wall alone. We think that they will bark to sinister person.
|
 Will
to defend
A sinister person walked toward owner. Willy rushed and showhis big ego. He made the defender as well as he can do. (see figure left) Bitti was more timid, but tried to defend his master. Bitti is so small that he have to do much to defend master :-) After the test person throw his stick away, both of our boys relaxed immediatly. |

refuse sack and brassy barrel: Bitti
was discounting, but not so afraid tha we expected. Willy watched the
source of sound "oh is ti that"! In dark room both Bitti and Willy first tried familiarized to all smells and play with judges. Then they noticed, we should find our owner! Shootin: Both reacted almost like we expected. Willy watched, "oh this is not so great voice, where is falling duck". Bitti cringed a little and continued then walking. Willys result is "gunshot sure" and Bitti "gunshot inexperienced". Final points:
Judges evaluation of Willy: Willy is eager to defend was almost great, but he calm down so fast that they gave moderate. Will to fight was great, but muscle tension relaxed fast after the danged has vanish. Tempereament was vivid, parrys small and fast, no over reaction. Sharpness, how he defend himself, moderate, no residual fighting. Although Willy didn't anything, he was there so "come and we will see which one win". His treshold to irritation is so high, that it didn't triggered. Some more things and Willy was attacked. Willy let person to make familiar to him (good). Open minded and gunshot sure. Judge said taht best thing is that Willy is a little soft. If he is hard and other things like above, he is difficult to train. After that judge explainded Willy's nerve system and how wonderful dog he is. At the end judge said "I think that this dog is not for sale!" It was easy to answer "NO". Judge said, small one (Bitti) has great role model! |

Bitti
was over positive. He watched nicely and think I am so nice, who can do
anything bad or hurt to me. 
Wílly was long still. His body made signal "don't come closer". Person
was almost touch distance to Willy, when Willy bark deeply and said "one
step and I will eat you".
