German Shorthaired Pointer bitch, 1st Feb. 1999 - 25th Aug. 2010
Breeders: Kirsi & Heikki Nygren, Kotka

Piitu was a girl with wonderful temperament, always ready for action. A beauty who was always so happy and willing to please. We miss her so much. Piitu was excellent hunting dog, who just got better with age. From "gun-shy" puppy she was trained into a dog you could always trust, and who competed successfully in hunting trials, retrieving competitions and dog shows with proud attitude.

Piitu wasn't shown very much but she did very well gaining several ResCC's and BOB-veteran wins. She had beautiful outline, wonderful gait and lot of spirit. Piitu started her hunting trial career at 6,5 years old, her best result was 2nd Prize in Winners Class. Piitu was a dog who retrieved "anything from anywhere", and year 2006 she won Club's retrieving championship. Here are Piitu's "highlights":

• Field trials: 1 x 2nd pr. Winner Class, 1 x 1st pr. Open Class, 2 x 2nd pr. Open Class,
  1 x 3rd pr. Open Class
• Dog shows: 4 x BOB-veteran, 3 x ResCC, 1 x ResCACIB
