The most dedicated dog-people

I was in Bratislava, Slovakia last week and on one of the days I was ring-side just watching and noticed a breed called SLOVENSKÝ ČUVAČ...


The people ringside - the judge and the owners was so interesting too look at... Showing the dogs beautiful was NOT an issue.. The handlers was more or less dressed up in hunting-clothes and the judge was really up to this. He nooded and shaked his head all the time - He discussed with the owners and the people ringside. Everyone was involved



Notice the group of people sitting ringside in the background... They did NOT
move during the entire show.. And the dogs where kept far away from eachother due to
slightly aggresive attitude... BUT this is dedication!!!!

It's so fun!!

This weekend we were waiting for pups.
When we picked up "Arja" last week I thought it was 3 - 4 pups...
But yesterday ( Saturday) we had to contact the vet as she did'nt "push" as we wanted - and when the vet took a x-ray she saw 7.... A shot in her muscle and first pup was out within 5 minutes... a small boy :-) - 5 boys followed and I was sure that she didn't have any girls... but she came at last... Now we just have too see if everything goes as we want....

Olga

She has been to the vet's office again.... After 4 times with different thing she decided that this is not how she want's it...
Bård was called up from the Vet about an hour after she was deliverd and ask to pick her up as she was behaving like a spoiled brat... She did not keep her voice down at all and other customers was a little upset on her behalf...

Of course she was pleased to see him and as I'm writing this she is upstairs in MY bed having a nap together with her hero - Bård...

Can't belive that a dog could be sooo spoiled here :-)

Loppa groomed

Our Multichampion G's Mysterious narrative "Loppa" is now a true PET :-)

The sun shined and some of our dogs struggles in the sun, among them "Loppa"
She has been our leading bitch in the show-ring and we have been unsure if we should hold her coat in condition or not.. Today we decided not too and she loved it :-)

Picture shows her at her last weeekend in the show-ring where she became BOB on the spec.show and BOS on the Int.show in Stavanger...
