First trainingday of hunting

I have noticed that the grouse youngsters are well developed and in good flying condition so I thought we might go for a little spin with Evita.

I have managed to keep my dogs in good shape all summer and so is my little girl.

Her style was pretty good and her speed nice. I like her fire-in-the-eyes gaze when she is running

All of a sudden Evita took a cataleptic point. I… Continue

It it forbidden for the dog to chase the reindeer here up north. The reindeer owners are allowed to shoot your dog if it is found chasing the deer. That is why our dogs have to be totally in control and they have to know that… Continue

Bragging Blogg-post number 2

Obedience competition last night and Vilda (Röde Baronens Glory Days) got her second first prize. 175.5 points of 200 possible and a second place. 2.5 point better than last time and one place higher up, now beaten only by a Briard.

Very difficult conditions with temperatures over 30 degrees and few dogs that mooved more than at snails-pace.

Sorry, Genes comment made me realise… Continue
