FAIREWOOD FOR YOUR EYES ONLY
"James"
(Long Valley Junebug's Jack ex. Ch Fairewood
Flirtation)
born: June
1999 Breeder and owner: Lotus Tutton,
Canada
On lease in Scandinavia for 18 months,
staying with Nan Salminen in Finland since May 1, 2002.
From January 2003 he'll also be staying with the Airescots in Sweden.
This very informal picture was taken by
myself,
when I was in Canada in June 2001 and met James for the first time.
I immediately took him to my heart and have been wondering how
I could get my bitch Briar, his earlier kennelmate, bred to him.
In Canada James has been co-owned by my
friend John Reeve-Newson,
and I could hardly believe my eyes when I had an e-mail from him in April 2002,
saying that he and Lotus had decided to let me have James in Sweden
for a year - if I wanted to!
Since May 1st James has been with the
Salminens in Finland
and has already gained his Finnish title and his first CACIB.
August 18th Swedish Norwich Terrier breeder Carina Andersson, TerrieRags,
made him Best In Show at an unofficial Norwich and Norfolk Specialty in Finland.
The Norfolks were judged by Finnish Norfolk breeder Stina Selen, Catastrofe's,
and together the two judges decided to give the overall BIS to James.
James has been very useful at stud in Canada
and the US.
In Finland one litter is already born, one is on its way,
and Briar and her daughter were both bred to him in the beginning of August.

Finnish KC All Breeds Show in Åland
Liz Cartledge, GB, gave him BOB and Terrier Group IV.
The following weekend he did even better, when Nan Salminen handled him to
win the breed
