Tilly on 17th January 2004
I want to thank Eeva Virpiö for letting us have Tilly almost 16 years ago, this unbelievable character, and who is so dear to us. I also want to thank The Hagström Family, they have given her a wonderful home, where she is gently guided by her youngest daughter "Dessi". Tilly's hearing is not very good anymore, but with Dessi's help she can follow all the time what's going on! Otherwise Tilly is very independent old lady, who makes sure everything goes on her way! If her family doesn't give her food JUST when she is used to, she'll surely lets them know her dinner IS LATE! Luckily she has loving people around, who all understand Tilly loves food and relaxing these days. Every now and then Tilly still takes long walks with Dessi, but she does her own exercising plans: if she doesn't feel like walking, she pulls back home.
Tilly is the mother of Y. Y-, Z-, and D-litter and a grandma to Y. A-, B-, C- and Greedy's G-litter. She has now retired from the show rings, but her progeny follows on her footsteps...! During her long show career, Tilly achieved so many prizes that it takes time to collect all her results together, but some day you might read them all at this site...
An old judging comment at Helsinki Show 29.-30.6.1996, judge Ritva Raita: "Good type, sound bitch with healthy construction. Moves well from all sides. Good head and ears. Eyes dark enough. In front very good angulation and movement. Very good rear angulation. Good drive. Good coat." EXC 1 BOB GROUP 1st BIS-5
