Berry BIS Intermediate

My 18-month-old girl, Tatler Turnberry, (Ch. Sir Darnley´s Undercover Urchin ex. Pocket´s Rocket) won BIS-Intermediate at the Norwegian Scottie Special today, and finished as BB2, under breed specialist Veli-Pekka Kumpumäki, Finland (Kennel Perhaps). 25 entries. Feeling very happy!

Agnes is in whelp / Agnes er drektig

Happy to share the news that my young girl N SE CH TATLER Tickled Pink is in whelp. The litter, which is due before midsummer, is sired by the lovely SIR DARNLEY´S Windsor Wizard. This young German-bred boy (by Maren Bichel-Schnock) has already won no less than 15 BOBs at the age of 20 months, and also multiple group-placements and wins. Fingers crossed for a successful delievery and for strong, healthy puppies.

Bonnie BOB - Hamish BOS

March 15/2014: DUNDEE So Explosive (Ch. So What Excalibur ex. Ch. Dundee Masquerade Flirt) went BOB, and my own SIR DARNLEY´S Undercover Urchin (Ch. Dundee So Classic ex. Ch. Sir Darnley´s Rambling Ruby) went BOS, under breed specialist Cindy Pettersson at the Norwegian Terrier Club show in Kristiansand today. And for a change there actually were more than a couple of Scotties in the ring - an entry of 10 isn´t bad at all! Congratulations to owner Gerd Elin Bøe, breeder Christina Hüttner, and to 'Bonnie' who I've groomed since 'day one'!

Best terrier/group win at national show in January

January 19/2014: At a national show today in Norway, on her very first weekend out, from Junior Class, my 15-month-old TATLER TURNBERRY (SE N CH Sir Darnley´s Undercover Urchin x Pocket´s Rocket) went BOB, won her first CAC, and finished as BIG1 on the day. 
Berry´s father, Hamish, went BOS, I might add.
Francesco Cochetti judged the breed, and Ligita Zake, the group.
I´m delighted and thankful!

Trimmekurs 2014 / Grooming class 2014

Du verden så mange dyktige deltakere vi hadde på årets skottetrimmekurs sist helg! Jeg har lyst til å trekke fram mor-og-datter teamet Unni M. Hanesand og Lene C. Ugland fra Haugesund. Disse jentene har aldri eid en trimmerase før, begge deres skottegutter er bare tre år gamle, de var på skottetrimmekurs for første gang i fjor, siden har de gjort eksakt hva instruktøren har sagt - og har følgelig endt opp med to skotter i utstillingskondisjon! Talentfulle damer, sant? Nå håper jeg de snart kan ta imot trimmekunder - det er noe vi virkelig trenger på vestlandet! (Ja, landet rundt, når jeg tenker meg om). 

Just returned from the club´s yearly Scottie grooming-class: My goodness how many talented participants we had! I would like to highlight the mother-and-daughter team Unni M. Hanesand and Lene C. Ugland, from Haugesund. These girls have never owned trimming-breed before, and both of their Scottie-boys are only three years old. They attended their very first Scottie grooming-class last year and have since then followed the instructor´s (myself!) instructions precisely! Talented ladies, aren´t they? Now I hope they will start to accept their own grooming clients - we really need groomers on the west coast of Norway! (Well, in the entire country, come to think of it).
