The kennel building (a converted garage) and garden are now just about as I envisioned them when I bought this place in November 2010. Things are coming together nicely, and I´m quite happy with the result!
Kennelbygningen (den konverterte garasjen) og hagen er nå blitt omtrent som jeg hadde forestilt med dem da jeg kjøpte dette stedet i november 2010. Ting begynner å ta form, og jeg er ganske fornøyd med resultatet!

We´ve all been witness to ever-younger Scotties winning best of breed, groups and even winning places in BIS-finals of late.
What´s happening? Is all the older, more mature, competition crap? Are Scotties in general maturing more quickly than before? Or has the aesthetic ideal amongst our judging corps shifted - away from the breed standard - to a new, fresh approach?
I´ll grant you that bitches often mature sooner than boys, but I think this new trend of putting up (barely more than) pre-teens everywhere is scary. I don´t like it at all and I doubt if it can be for the breed´s best.
What do you think?
My homebred girl Agnes (Tatler Tickled Pink), born 08/10/12, went BOS (with the Swedish CAC and her first CACIB) under Liselotte Johansson on Sunday 09/06/2013 at Norra Älvborg International Kennel Club show. Very happy!
New Swedish championship to N UCH Sir Darnley´s Undercover Urchin at Norra Älvsborg International Kennel Club show at Vänersborg, Sunday 09/06/2013, under Liselotte Johansson.
Busy weeks at work, finishing editing the Swedish club magazine, and preparing for our yearly Open Show have led to no Blog-posts at all of late. Huge apologies to my regular followers!
On Sunday I was at Norra Älvsborg Kennel Club´s International Show in Vänersborg in Sweden.
Hamish (N UCH Sir Darnley´s Undercover Urchin) was second best dog, from Open Class, won the Swedish ticket - and became Swedish Champion!
Agnes (Tatler Tickled Pink) was BOS from Intermetiate Class, and also won the Swedish ticket, and her first CACIB. (She has only been out twice since she was a puppy: She was second best bitch in Junior Class at Jönköping, Sweden, under John Herd - right behind Raglan Ready to Smile. And at last weekend´s Open Show here, where she was BIS-Intermediate and fourth best bitch - the only bitch in the line-up not out of Champion Class).
There were eight entries at Vänersborg on Sunday where Liselotte Johansson judged the Scotties. Raglan Rocket Science was BOB from Champion Class. Congratulations to him and his owner.
Congrats to Maren on yet another BOB win with Hamish´s litter sister Sir Darnley´s Uncut Unity. Wonderful!
This time at Dortmund in Germany on Sunday 12. May.
Valpekjøperen min, Kristin Meagher, var her i dag til trim/finish av hennes skottegutt Sid.
Hun hadde kjørt ens ærend, hele 394 km fra Stavanger!
Hvilken herlig overraskelse jeg fikk da hun hadde med seg denne fantastiske puten av en skotte - sydd i ekte Harris Tweed, fra de Ytre Hebridene!
My puppy buyer, Kristin Meagher, was here today for me to trim/finish her Scottie-boy Sid.
She drove 244 miles (imperial) from Stavanger to get here!
Imagine the lovely surprise I got when she brought this amazing cushion of a Scottie - made from genuine Harris Tweed from the Outer Hebrides!
