Vingåker
Yesterday we went to the Swedish Whippet Club show in Vingåker. We had a really nice time and all the dogs (Merlin, Grace, Lotus, Isaac, Eddie and Sally) got placements in their classes. Of couse we also had to take some new photos of the kids =)
Toady we went to the golf course to get some photos of our own dogs. It started to rain so sadly we didn’t finish. Merlin doesn’t enjoy rain very much!
Germany & Denmark
First weekend in October we went to Rostock, Germany trying to get the German CAC and VDH CAC with Saga. And she did it! CAC VDH and res-CACIB. She now needs only one more VDH to get the VDH champion title. We also brought Fatimah (Ch Abu Al Khayar Fatimah) trying to get her las CACIB for the international champion title, wich we did =) Diva the Deerhound also got what she needed (BOB CAC and VDH) so it was for sure a successful trip!
Second weekend in October we went to Aars Sighthound Club show in Denmark. Saga won BEST OF BREED, and got her last CLUB CAC for the Danish Club champion title =)
Grace also got a CLUB CAC (her first). Now we have a weekend at home before next show, which will be the Whippet Club show in Vingåker (81 Whippets entered).
Grace 18 months
Yesterday Grace turned 18 months old. Not a junior anymore!
We have still some shows planned for this year, looking forward to it.
Orre, Norway
We went to the international show in Orre, Norway, trying to get the Norwegian CAC. It was really a long way and driving in Norway is really slow. The show location was nice, and we were lucky to get our rings indoors (most of them were outdoors). It was OK weather but it is not summer anymore.
And we did it! Saga was BOB with CACIB and the Norwegian CAC so now she is also Norwegian champion =)
Since it was such a long way to drive home, we didn’t stay to the finals.
Thank you for a lovely weekend Gunilla and Micke, and congratulations to Liams Norwegian champion title (GRAND SLAM FOR SWEDEN, WIHOOOO!!!!)
Saga and Liam - brand new Norwegian champions =)
Lund
The Sighthound Club show in Lund was cold and rainy. Only Grace was entered (3rd in champion class) under judge Joachim Kiack (DE). But I had the pleasure to show Ch Dabka’s Italy to BOB and BIS-3 so I still had a very nice day =)
I also showed a couple of wild Saluki puppies, very funny 😉

Euro Sighthound Show & Gotland
End of August was spent in Denmark at Broholm Castle where the FCI Euro Sighthound Show was held. Fantastic place for a show! I have only entered Saga one day, but also four of Merlin’s kids was entered. Very nice to see them again!
After Denmark we went to Gotland to meet up with Ian (and also for the shows of course). We spent the week sightseeing and we had a really nice time. Saga was 4th best bitch one day and Grace was 4th best bitch one day with res CAC.

Grace won a rosette for res CAC which she was very proud of 😉
Montenegro & Croatia
Our trip to Montenegro and Croatia was very successful! 10 new titles on 6 shows =)
Saga won 4xCACIB, 6xCAC, 6xBOB, 1xBIG and 6 new titles.
Grace won 2xCACIB, 1xBOB, 1xBOX, 4xCAC, 2xresCAC, 1xBIG, 1xBIS-3 and 2 new titles.
Merlin won 1xCACIB, 1xresCACIB, 1xBOS, 2xCAC, 4xresCAC and 1 new title.
Lotus won 1xCACIB, 1xresCACIB, 1xBOB, 2xCAC, 1xresCAC and 1 new title.
We had a really lovely time despite the 5800 kilometes in the car – sometimes on very bad roads. But as long as the comany is great it is a piece of cake 😉
Now we will take a rest and reload for the FCI Euro Sighthound Show in Denmark.

Vänersborg & Norrköping
Last weekend we went to the national shows in Vänersborg (saturday) and Norrköping (sunday). In Vänersborg Grace was 3rd best bitch with res-CAC. Annica came to both shows with Merlins kids, so they also got some training. I wish I could take Sally home. She is gorgeous….
Sally 8 months old
Germany, Neumünster
In the end of May we went to Neumünster, Germany. Trying to get the VDHs and CACs and we nearly made it – VDH and res-CAC. I also took the opportunity to buy some new leather leashes. Next trip to Germany will be in October, but first we have the whole summer ahead of us!
