Loads of news! Hayley's puppies have turned one year old, on august 24!! Congrats to Alfonso, Brutus, Birk, Noah, Elle, Hermine, Nemi, Chanel and My! Chanel have gained her Austrian Junior Champion-title, before the age of 1! Hermine and Noah has both got the Big-CC (CC from international shows, you need at least one in additon to the national CC's needed to become Norwegian Champions after the age of 2), at only 1 year and 4 days old. Noah also got res.CC for cockerspecialist at a spaniel special-show, and CC and BOS at 9 months of age!
We have got a new edition to our kennel, an import from Finland, Heart Rock Call Me, Vilja, she is co-owned with Kristian Løvbugt and is living with him and Elle in Trondheim. ------>
We have been looking after Brutus this summer, while his family where on vacation in the USA, and we are happy to see that he has a lovely temperament and is looking very much like his mother!
Hayley made us very proud at Tromsø international dog show, she became Best Of Breed with CACIB for spanielspecialist, and later she won group 8!!

A new day at a puppy show, (Norwegian Boxer Club, judge: Arne Foss, authorized on Cocker Spaniel and allround-judge!).
Hermine's (Icefern Ice Ice Baby) debut in the ring, and she followed up on her brothers results last weekend, becoming BOB and BOG-4 in a big and strong group! Noah (Icefern It's Like That) was BOS. But most fun was all the nice words from the judge about our youngsters, including that these two could win anywhere in this country. :D
Also huge congrats to Nemi (Icefern It Feels So Good) becoming BOB and BOG-2 at a puppy show in Follo!! Congrats Nemi and Ingrid!! :)

Hayley gives birth to 10 puppies (she had 11 puppies in her belly, but one was dead before birth), 5 males (3 orange roans + 2 red/whites) and 5 females (4 orange roans + 1 red/white), sadly we lost one of the males after a few days (one orange roan), but 9 puppies lives and growes up nicely!! Hayley is an excellent mom with tons of natural instincts.
11.aug.2010:
Hayley is now in her 7th pregnancy week, and has maksimum 2.5 weeks left of her pregnancy! And she definitly has puppies in her belly, because she's getting bigger and bigger every day. :)
Last weekend we participated in the club championship in wild game tracking in Selbu with Mia and Trym. Mia recieved a great 1.th price with a super critique! And Trym, who was entered for the first time, got a lot (!) of footsteps and other activities from moose in the beginning of his track, so he used all his energy to check them out, and got warm (it was a hot day too) and tired in the middle of the track, he was allowed to find the finish with some help from the person who made the track, but of course he could not get a price. :) And the judge said that it was
a pitty that the moose had a party in the beginning, because Trym was a
promising tracking dog. :)
15.juli.2010:
Hayley is now in the end of her first trimester in her pregnancy. If she's pregnant we still don't know, but every early signs are present! Yesterday she threw up, and that is something she never does normally. Her nipples are pink and bigger, and she wants to be close to me all the time (but she's like that normally..). We are going to the veterinarian in a week or so to check if there are any puppies in her belly. So fingers crossed!!
 4.juli.2010:
Hayley becomes BIS-working (and 5th best bitch) for judge Jostein Halvorsen at NSK avd. Trøndelags dog show in Trondheim. Trym is 5.th best dog at the same show.
30.04.2010:
Hayley was mated on june 26. with Ch. Casein's Campania (Brutus). More about the choise of male under "planned litters" and "present litters".
Brutus is the male we had planned to use for Hayleys second litter, but lots of circumstances made him the sire of our first litter (hopefully). :)
So hopefully we expect beautiful, healthy orange roans or red/white puppies with a lot of show temperament (if you have seen Brutus in the ring, you know what I mean) late august.
In the meantime, Trym has been with his breeder to the World Dog Show in Denmark, with a great result! Excellent both days, and placed
as 4th. best dog in the lovely intermediate class on the world winner
show!! Thanks to Geir for showing and trimming him, and to Ingunn and
Bjørn for bringing him to Denmark!!
25.04.2010:
Still no season for Hayley, but she is still within her normal schedule (but now the season should be right around the corner! Or else.. :P). I belived she would follow Mia, as she has always done that, but since we now have a male in the house we separeted Mia from the others, so maybe Hayley did not get so influated by Mia as before.. I will tell you all imidiatly as Hayley comes into season! :) Trym has been to a international dog show, winning the youth class with HP (price of honour), Hayley was not entered, and yesterday at a national dog show, he won the youth class with CK (CC-Quality) and beacme 2.best male! Hayley acted like a foolish youngster (season coming up??) but managed
to get her CK and became 4th best bitch for breed specialist Chris Laverty.
09.03.2010:
Mia came into season today! So hopefully Hayley will come into
season very soon (they allways follow each other with only
about one week)! Exciting! :)
