Måste ge en eloge till dej som uppdaterar din sida så ofta, alltid kul att kolla in... Äntligen börjar det hända lite i settersverige.... men än e det långt till alla bravader, hoppas vi ses nåt i sommar.... Det e väl konstigt att man skrattar så man får ont i magen så fort vi ses....

Hej Kristina
Vilka fina bilder du satt in! Har ni fått snö nu??
Här är nollgradigt, och lerigt så jag blir snart tokig.....
Gräsmattan är totalt upptrampad, och gissa hur mycket skit hundarna drar in!

Hi Kristina
thanks! Traffic not works on last Saturday- The train can't drive because there must to detonate avalanches. All mountain pass was closed. But cars could drive slowly. No TV, no radio! We feel us like in the last century :-) At present we have 1.50m of snow, waiting for spring (ha ha)
All the best Esther

Hej Kristina!

Vi har fullt upp med byggen och ett flytt framöver, men vi lär dyka upp på en och annan utställning i år. Dina vinterbilder är fantastiska, vi har haft kyligt, men tyvärr ingen snö att fotografera.

Vi ses säkerligen närmare sommaren.

Med Vänliga Hälsningar Pia och Benny

Tack Kristina. Jag gillar också hans namn, konstigt annars :) De andra vi valde mellan var alldeles för vanliga och populära så jag är glad och förvånad att "pappan" tyckte om det namnet också... Kram Jenny

Kristina,
your dogs and photos are so great I can't manage enjoy it and copy them to my album - photos, or comment - dogs, particularly your Wiktor.
Year ago I lost Pielgrzym, my beloved dog, the cutest and caressest on the world.
I grew up in home with dogs - only males, they were mostly german shepherds or mixbred. I cant imagine my life without dogs but years ago I thaught that girls are easier, safer, simpler than boys.
After life with Pielgrzym a saw that boy is a boy,
so now I miss male dog and sometimes here I find my Pielgrzym.
Sometimes (freguently) this is your Wiktor, so you must split him with me a bit :))))Please:)))

Hello Kristina,
Thank you for your answer on the photo of Queenie.
I also had preferred to see her closer to the the couple but it were people she had never met.
It was taken with the marriage of a collegea of me.
She is such a lovely and enthousiatic girl that I was a little bit afraid that she would jump on the bride's dress.
I was already happy that the little bouquet of flowers she was wearing in her collar were given to the bride without accident.

Hej Kristina!
Tack för bloggpost kommentarer.
Det är enda gången jag skulle kunna delta i Lydnad med våra..
när jag har vispad grädde med lite vaniljsocker i
.....hm...kanske en så´n där sprayflaska med färdig grädde skulle kunna fungera som godis även i terrängen.....

Har ni samma kyla och snömängd kvar däruppe?
All vår snö försvann på två dagar och nu är det minus på allt det här
blöta....det är vinter i södra Sverige......ett fult ord får plats här.
Ha det bra
Kram Annika

Hej!
Tack, min gamla hund älskar vatten och stå i sjön alltid, när det är möjligt. Jag tycker också att hon är jättesöt. ;)

Och den yngre tycker om att springa var som helst. (Jag har lite problem med mitt svenska språk, men hoppas att du förstå mig.)

Hi Kristina, thankyou for your comments on my blog. I am so sorry to hear of your dreadful experience. We had some blood tests carried out on Lola last week & there is no damage to the liver & kidneys, thank goodness. She still has a slight cough & a blister inside her flew where she was bitten. Our vet has warned us that she may suffer some tissue damage. Kind Regards Karen

Gini Brand

Hi Kristina,
If he would do so (training to stack) naturally in the Show-ring, I would be very, very happy!;0)) But this scallywag in the ring is often very funny, jaunty, or sometimes only bored! ;0(
Now, I can see, how he will do in the ring next saturday, after many, many outdoor-training!;0)))

wish you a nice day with your red lovers
Gini, Rodin and Axel (+Joey)

Gini Brand

Hi Kristina,
thank you for your so nice compliments!;0) Now, he is Hip-graded A2/B1 and he has full and correct dentition. And he has a very good, soft, funny, fine and honest character.
To breed with him, I want to wait, till he is two years, because I think, still he is a little bit "immature";0)))
But I dont know, if some breeder wants to get an american stud-dog for their females ... ;0)
We will see ...

Hi Kristina
thank you for your comments on my photos. YES.. please, come to visit us in Engadin. Your dogs will be happy there! :-)
I think it is a little paradiese for dogs, and also for humens .. I never could live without my mountains!
All the best, Esther

I have thought the same thing about Chase. Maybe it is time. However, the new mommie came and got them both Sunday night. She is a vet, so they will be in good hands. I'm sad to see them go, actually. I know the new mom will take very good care of them and do what must be done when the time comes. Now I can't wait to see what kind of setter I get to foster next!

Thank you so much.. I will try and put a Forum on the site and we can all discuss this new problem there are many pedigrees that will be (but hopefully not) affected by this, we don't know the mode of inheritance yet, but 'think' that it may be recessive, so it needs looking at, my girl is night blind I would like to think that we can stop others from inheriting this..
Thank you again for your support.
