T A T L E R Tickled Pink

TATLER Tickled Pink "Agnes" at 3,5 months. 

Born 08.10.11 out of Ch. DUNDEE Royal Excellens x POCKET´S Rocket. She´s a real tearaway!

Photo series: Lulu in Oslo

At uncle Erik´s flat at Rosenhoff in Oslo on Sunday.

All five Scotties were there. They all enjoyed themselves.

(Hope uncle Erik did too). 

Lulu made herself comfortable. From the fourth floor the view is so much more exciting than the one at home.

Well, at least for a wee while:

New Kennel Club Film

 

Jeg tror denne ferske filmen er ment som The Kennel Clubs svar på den oppsiktsvekkende BBC dokumentaren; Pedigree Dogs Exposed. I introen snakker klubbformann Steve Dean om klubbens ‘ethos’. Ethosen er tilsynelatende at klubben skal jobbe for å eliminere arvelige sykdommer i alle renrasede- og også blandingsrasede (!) hunder. Det nye datasystemet ”Mate Select" introduseres også. Systemet skal forikre økt genmateriale og forhindre innavl. Utstillinger i sin nåværende form diskuteres også. Bidrar de til hunders helseproblemer? Er funksjon viktigere enn form? Bør overdrivelser belønnes? Se selv hva den ærverdige kennelklubben mener! 

I think this recent film is meant to be The Kennel Club's response to the remarkable BBC documentary; Pedigree Dogs Exposed. In the intro the club chairman Steve Dean talks about the club 'ethos'. The ethos is that the club will work to eliminate hereditary diseases in all pure-bred, as well as cross-bred(!) dogs, it seems. A new computer system "Mate Select" is also introduced. This system is to improve a breed´s gene pool and prevent inbreeding. Dog shows in its current form is also discussed. Do they contributes to dogs' health problems? Is function more important than form? Should exaggerations be rewarded? See for yourself what the venerable Kennel Club thinks!

Finally: An original Aase Corneer lamp

Aase Corneer (1919-2007), Kennel Roederich, var en anerkjent svensk skulptør. Fra før av har jeg noen av hennes unike skottefigurer. Jeg rakk også å besøke henne en gang i hennes hjem i Askim før hun døde. En fargerik dame! Jeg har lenge ønsket meg en av hennes lamper, og takket være Pia Kongsten ble dette mulig i forrige uke!

Aase Corneer (1919-2007), Kennel Roederich, was a renowned Swedish sculptor. I already had a few of her unique Scottie figures. I also managed to visit her once at her home at Askim in Sweden before she died. What a personality! I have wanted one of her lamps for a long time, and thanks to Pia Kongsten this was made possible last week!

Til høyre: Airedalen Ch Aisalby Bertric, en utmerket avlshund som kom fra England til Sverige i 1937. Hans eier Richardis Sørvik (Aase Corneers mor) var ikke bare en sjeldent begavet Airedaleoppdretter, men var også en av de beste hundportrettørene Sverige, og kanskje Norden, hadde. Dette er hennes bilde av Bertric.

Above, right: The Airedale Ch Aisalby Bertric, an excellent stud dog that came from England to Sweden in 1937. His owner Richardis Sörvik (Aase Corneer´s mother) was not only a rare skill at breeding Airedales, but also was one of the best dog portrait painters that Sweden, or Scandinavia, had. This is her picture of Bertric.
