Berry went BOB...

...and was shortlisted, but unplaced, in the group today at the Norwegian Terrier Club Show at Mjöndalen. Judging the breed was the Swedish judge Anna-Lena Munkvall. 11 breed entries. See Berry´s - Tatler Turnberry - critique below:

"Stunningly beautiful bitch. Nice head and expression. Correct bite. Dark eyes. Well angulatad front and rear. Excellent brisket/chest. Moves and shows fantasticly".

Norwegian: "Fantastisk vakker tispe. Fint hode og uttrykk. Korrekt bitt. Mørke øyne. Velvinklet fram og bak. Utmerket brystkasse. Beveger og viser seg fantastisk".

Hamish 2nd best Dog...

... at the Norwegian Terrier Club Special today at Mjøndalen, under the Swedish judge Anna-Lena Munkvall.

Hamish is N SE CH Sir Darnley´s Undercover Urchin - (Dundee So Classic ex. Sir Darnley´s Rambling Ruby).

My tribute to Bonnie

Going through show results this evening, it´s become quite obvious to me that "Bonnie" - Ch. Dundee So Explosive - bred by Christina Hüttner, Sweden (Ch. So What Excalibur ex. Ch. Dundee Masquerade Flirt), owned by Gerd Elin Bøe, Norway (and groomed by myself), must be Queen of Norwegian and Swedish breed club shows for the last seven years:

2008 - Best in Show at the Norwegian club show, under breed specialist Jul Hamlot

2010 - BOS at the Swedish club show, at Västerlanda, under Helena Peterzens

2011 - Best in Show at the Swedish club show, at Alnarp, under Ann-Marie Rådström

2011 - Best in Show at the Norwegian club show, under breed specialist Cindy Pettersson

2014 - Best in Show at the Norwegian club show, under breed specialist Veli-Pekka Kumpumäki

It´s been a pleasure to groom this bonnie lass and being able to enjoy her timeless and honest type - totally without excesses, and with absolutely no nods to current fashions or trends whatsoever. I hope I´ll be able to take care of her coat, and enjoy her feisty spirit, for many years to come. 

Such a thoroughly lovely bitch she is!

PS: I´m pleased she is grandmother to my A- and B-litter, and the great-grandmother to my C-litter. Bonnie has only had one litter, in 2009 (3 +1), producing the three-years-in-a-row top Scottie in Norway; Pocket´s Archie MacDonald

OK, I´ll admit it feels good...

...to have won Best in Show at both Swedish and Norwegian breed club shows. Few have managed to achieve this, and it sort of makes the load of all the planning, toil and hard work worth while. (Like getting no less than ten Scotties ready for the Norwegian show this year).

Right pic is from the Norwegian club show at Mule Varde 30th. May 2015 under breed specialist Robert Becquet, where my homebred girl - Tatler Tickled Pink - went Best in Show.

Fab club show for THE TATLERS!

        

Best of Breed/Best in Show: N SE CH TATLER TICKLED PINK

Saturday´s show at Mule Varde in Porsgrunn, Norway, was a wonderful day for the Tatler-clan under the British judge Mr Robert Becquet. I had entered five Scotties, and some of my puppy-buyers very kindly entered four more, so we were nine in total. The total number of show entries was 29. Please find the full show results below my Blog-pictures. Here are my results - I´m extremely happy - especially considering I only had my first litter in October of 2011 - a bit over 3,5 years ago.
