Efter en lång resa till Västerås fick vi uppleva en fantastisk dag vid VHS hund kapplöpnings banna. Ett väl arrangerarat träff med cirka 30 stuken tillresta RR. Vackert väder gjorde det hela inte sämre. 
Våra 4 ridgebackar var laddade inför uppgiften och gjorde väl ifrån sig. 
Vi är mest stolta över vår veteran. Kandy visade att även om man kommit lite till åren hänge man väl med. Både på grund av rutin samt livslyst. 
Charena träffade sin son Tarujen Ave Maximilian (Charlie) en välväxt trevlig hund som var på bana för första gången. Båda son och mor visade fint resultat! Och vi var mycket glada att träffa hela Charlies familj !

Vi hade underbar kväll hos familj Öberg på Flatön, Orust. Stacy och Russkiy busade hela kvällen till "tanten" Lisi bestämd att fostra de lite. Under så "skrämande " hot började de pussas i stället men snart uppfattade de att Lisi är ingen riktig fröken och fortsätte sin bus-tur på nytt. Så gulliga och trevliga samt outtröttliga små! Tack Katriina och Börje för underbar middag och för en fantastisk kväll! Tack Stephani och Olivia att ni kunde komma!!!

Teoridelen  inleddes med jaktinslag, vetrinär var på plats och visade omläggning av sårskador samt svarade på frågor, även kloklippning utfördes.
Dagen avslutades med kaffe och hembakat samtidigt med lotteridragning

So proud of the puppies!!

Idag har våra "Blessed" valpar blivit 3 månader gammla!  Vi hade tur och lyckades att träffa en av älskade barna. Ex. Mr Blue hade vägarna förbi och jag är mycket tacksam till Janis Stephanie och Maxim för att de hittade möjlighet att besöka oss idag. Mr Blå heter Russkiy nu och det namn passar honom mycket väl! Han är väldig trevlig kille smart och busig. Framförallt är han BUSIG! Söt som honung och mycket lik sin matte Stephanie. Russliy verkligen älskar hela sin flock och ge dem mycket glädje och anledningar att vara stolt över. Tyvärr lyckades inte jag med några stå bilder på honom. Lättare var att göra bilder på deras bus med Lisi som i sin tur var överlycklig att träffa Russkiy.
