[Viljo is FC Cadium Aurinkosoturi, 2 years old male, bred in Finland by Tia Eskelinen, owned by Patricia Nance.] Today, Viljo placed 4th in the class of 15 Field Champion Dogs at the Badger Dachshund Club field trial in northern Illinois. He is pictured with judges Larry Gohlke of Wisconsin and Pam Bethke of South Dakota. Larry commented on Viljo's actions in the field, "I told Pam that that's the dog I would take home. He was really using his nose to show us the line. He is wired right." Thank you, Larry. It is a fact that Viljo inherently has an excellent head for the basics. He is not yet getting enough done to generate more call backs and placements - but with more rabbit experience he will.  Next photo is Viljo minutes after the above photo was taken.
