In November 2003 Usko arrived at our house. Usko exceed all expectations and dreams in his show career. Usko is Hannele's once-in-a-lifetime dog. He was a real show dog who loved performing in the ring and being admired by others. Usko has made breed history as he is the youngest welsh springer as group winner in international dog show (9 months 3 days), in 2005 he was placed 10th in the competition of The Showdog by Kennel Club of Finland and in 2006 he was placed 7th in the same competition, the spaniel of the year 2006 and show Wss of the year 2005 and 2006.  And of course CC in the Crufts 2007 as the first welsh springer from abroad.
We lost Usko to cancer in spleen when he was 5,5 years and it has been the worst thing that has ever happend to me.
