Roskilde, Denmark
This weekend was spent at the double CACIB show in Roskilde, Denmark. Despite the cold and rainy weather we had two wonderful days! On Saturday Saga won her qualifying CAC for the Danish champion title under judge Kitty Sjong, Denmark. On Sunday Saga won her qualifying CACIB for the international champion title under judge Gert Christensen, Denmark. And also qualified for Crufts 2016. What a day =)
Grace was also entered and on Sunday she won the junior class – qualified for Crufts 2016 – and ended up as 3rd best bitch under jusge Nebojsa Savicic, Slovenia.
I also got to watch Maya (Sinsline Rich Girl) in the ring and that was a lovely sight. Such a wonderful little girl. She was BOB puppy on Saturday and BOS puppy on Sunday.
Grand slam for Saga!!!
RIP Anthe
Today we are saying goodbye to the old man in the house. After a bad long lasting stomach flu he finally recovered, but started to drink a lot of water and pee a lot, so I decided to let him go. Yesterday afternoon it was also some blood in his urine and that was the final call. Good bye my dear Anthe, I will miss you forever…

Skaelskør, Denmark
Yesterday we went to the Sighthound Club show in Skaelskør, Denmark. Saga won the champion class and received a CLUB CAC, she was also 2nd best bith with reserve-CAC. Merlin and Grace was also entered – Merlin was 2nd in champion class with CQ and Grace was 3rd in junior class with CQ.
Maya (Sinsline Rich Girl) has now moved to Rudi Brandt, kennel Frontrunners, in Denmark. I am looking forward to be able to follow her in the future. Rudi took a new photo of her and I think she looks really nice.
Crufts 2015
Crufts was really a pleasant surprise! I had already before I went planned to watch the Whippets. Since they were divided in to two rings (males and bitches) I had only the time to watch the males. I must say that I really enjoyed the Whippets in the UK. Overall much better proportions and angulations, most of them not at all too long in body and overangulated. Smaller in size. Here they tend to get just longer and longer with neverending rears, which makes me sad. And what about the flat toplines?
Why do ”we” want this development? Why it is a good thing? What is the goal with this? The standard says ”All forms of exaggeration should be avoided”.
And do we need ”More than one-half inch above or below stated height limits is a disqualifying fault” as in the American standard? Well this would disqualify my own Whippets, too….
A larger, longer Whippet has a very different movement compared to a more square moderate one.
I really want to put up photos for comparison, but I think I’ll save my battles and live another day 😉

Grace is now 11 months old – can’t believe that almost a year has passed since they were born….
Sinsline R-litter
I was very pleased to meet Merlins kids in Stockholm, February 21. They are now 4,5 months old.
I really liked them all, happy tail-wagging puppies with a lot of kisses to give =)
Thank you Annica for bringing the kids to the show and also thanks to Patrik & Nina for helping out showing them and to get some photos.
Maya (Sinsline Rich Girl) was BOS baby puppy under judge Sofie Lönn, Sweden.
