    Thanks for commenting on my blog, Kristina!
    Who has ever lost a beloved dog that was too young to leave, that knows how bad it can feel. Both you and me are - unfortunately - that kind of doggie lovers.
    I am always afraid to loose them before getting old. Have never owned an old dog to date, so my only one wish from God to let Sarah be the first one (then Pici the second, and so on) who stays with me as long as possible, and passes as an oldie.
    Not an extra wish, is it?!
    Thank you again,
    love / Marta

    Tack för "grattiset" Kristina, men det blir inte så många "skrytblogg" till. Just den här tiken ska bara ha ett LP1 och det bör (förhoppningsvis) vara avklarat vid nästa tävling.

    Hello Kristina,I'll love your dogs. I've seen Charlie and Bruno in Sweden at the world dog show. I've also visit the show on sunday and I'll loved them even more outside. You could be very proud of them!!!
    Best regards Tineke

    Dear Kristina,
    Thank you for the feet-back, I love to take photos in the nature. As we lost our web-page, it is long story to tell and I still haven’t managed to make a new one. I publish the photos this way. You have very nice photos of your dogs and I noticed that you have a 120 orchids. Are they in winter garden? When we moved in the country side and my doggies were 7 months old, they were very keen on “gardening” a lot of flowers were just taken by puppies by playing.
    Best greetings
    Natalja and doggies

    Hi Kristina,
    You have some very nice photographs on the site :-) I love the flower and nature photographs on your website too. It's a very nice hobby to have. Sweden seems to have such a beautiful countryside!

    Visst var det en bra fördelning, en massa tjejer! Vi har ju en del kullar i Västsverige just nu, men rätt mga är tingade också ur denna kull. Har du några valpplaner på G i höst/vinter? Hade så bra!

    Aug 12, 2008

  • Jenny Ronnebro

    Ibland blir det ju så att man inte har nga tikar av olika anledningar. Och sedan som du säger så vill man ju använda sina egna pojkar och då kan det bli för nära släkt osv.. Men jag hoppas att du hittar en bra lösning, för jag tycker att du har en sund inställning till avel och allt det innebär! Hade bra!

    Hello Kristina,
    I loved looking at your photos today. Your dogs look gorgeous. I have a son and daughter from Copper's Prins Trollmane who is with Myra Thomas-Rhodes. I have 5 Irish all from Myra's breeding. They are a lot of fun.
    Regards,

    Hi Kristina,
    I thought you must have had Copper's blood in your dogs. I will view your website tomorrow but am going to watch the olympics now. I noticed your message said 4.20am. Is that right? Why are you out of bed at that time? Unless you are whelping a bitch.
    Best Regards,
    Carmel

    Aug 15, 2008

  • Carmel Stringfellow

    Well I wonder what the time 4.20am is coming from? I thought you couldn't be that time because this is ususally the time I ring my friends in England. They are ten hours behind us.

  • Dee Rance

    Hi there Kristina, I would love to take credit for the photo's but it was Nicole that took them, good aren't they?? As for the muzzle they have to have them because they try to clear any place we walk, of all the wood, seaweed, jellyfish etc. and then if I'm lucky they bring it all back on the carpet but if not it needs medical intervention, so it comes down to them both having muzzles on or they could die no choice. Dee and the girls

    Sep 17, 2008

  • Dee Rance

    Hi there
    I have to keep telling people that they only have them on because they eat everything in sight. People do think that they are nasty. I think they look horrid but I still have my dogs. I have known many people that have lost their dogs with complications after an operation to remove strange objects from their stomachs. Speak soon Dee and the girls

    Tack för snälla ord på bloggen!
    Man sitter ju i sin ensamhet och fixar ihop text och bild och när det väl är skickat så tänker man inte så himla mycket på det...förrän det kommer i tryck. Men då letar man mest efter stavfel och kollar så trycket är OK.

    Hi Kristina,
    thank you so much for your kind comments! I know the mountains are spectacular, but you live in a wonderful country with much more possibilities for the dogs than we have here. And I love your photos of the dogs in the lakes too!!!
    have fun...

    hello, thank you for your comment on one of my photo's, actually we are not in cornwall but up on the north east coast of scotland! many people imagine it to be cold and drap when in reality it is far from that during most of the year. i take your comment as a compliment as i believe cornwall is very pretty - the photo was taken on one of our regular walks i feel so lucky to be able to live up here. i've looked through your photo's and i think they're lovely. i wish you all well and many happy times with your beautifull dogs :-)
    best wishes from myself and my little setter family
