GB, FIN, S Ch Diotima Sea Wolf At Ramsgrove "Tolly" (above)

GB Ch Brenriga Gift Wrapped For Diotima "Beanie" is one of the bitches I have always admired. When Wendy told me that Tolly GB, FIN, S Ch Diotima Sea Wolf At Ramsgrove will have a litter with Beanie I got so excited. What if I could have a bitch from this litter... I asked Marian if it would be possible for me to have a bitch from this super litter and thanks to her kindness I was then waiting for a bitch puppy. Things does not always go as you plan so I ended up with a male. We are so happy with our Diotima boy that we would never change him for anything.

Boston was shown a few times as a puppy and he did very well.

In 2008 he won BOS at the Finnish bearded special at a very young age. We were so thrilled and in 2009, Mike Lewis made him BOB at the Finnish Special. It was like a dream and we were so proud. The huge trophy we got from the club reminds me of this wonderful day.

Shows are just a small part of life and Boston enjoys most of all when he get to run on the fields and chase Uno. Well now it is Annie who is chasen by Boston. They both enjoy each others company very much.

We do not plan to show much this year. We do some basic obedience with Boston as he likes that very much. He would have capacity to do some more challenging courses in obedience but I lack that competency:-)

Below are some photos of Boston in different ages.
