Young boy looking for a home

Applegrove Western Wind - three months old

We still have one boy for sale from our litter born 12th of June. Parents are Kbhv-06 Ww-08 Asoftwind of the Golden Vale "Magnus" and Applegrove Sweet American Romance "Tilda".

He's a real charmer, very social, outgoing and talkative and has been one of my favourites in the litter all along! However, you can't keep them all ... so if you know of any active and loving home for a… Continue

Another weekend, another Champion title for Sarah :-)

The 6th and 7th September we went to Romania to the Dracula Show that is a double CACIB show, one of them offers a Crufts Qualification to the CACIB winners for 2009.

We got back with nice results again but once it was quite enough for a life time. You had better not go there, as the name and the homepage of the show is really fantastic, but that's all. There is not enough parking place for the cars, veeerrrry small and bad quality… Continue

Nature at its best

I spent 3 wonderful days in the mountains(hoyfjell) with our youngest setters. We were giving a tour de mountains to a young gordonsetter with her owner.

Still the grouse are missing so we had no moments of joy for the dogs. They worked amazingly well even though nothing was found. True hunters never give up!…

Happy Birthday, Maia!

- gardening

- destroying her bedding and anyone else's bedding

- escaping (sound familiar, Carmel? Remember how she used to run away when you went to put her in the puppy run?)

- stealing plastic weights from the vertical blinds and… Continue

Double CACIB in Debrecen (Hungary) / 30-31. August, 2008

The past weekend we went to a double show in Debrecen near to the town we live in. To be honest, on Saturday I hoped for some nice result, as the judge liked Sarah quite a lot last year this time on the same show, and gave her a CAC in Open and the CACIB as well. This time after the quickest judgement I had ever experienced, he decided to put her to the third in Open out of 4, so I was a little disappointed. First and second places went to… Continue
