IDS Fredericia 10-11 February 2024

This weekend we attended the International Dog Show in Fredericia. Krondal’s T-Rex “Hondo” was entered in champion class and did a very good job, winning Best Male and Best of Breed. He thereby achieved the last CACIB needed and can now add the title INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION to his list of show resultat. ;o) To make the result even better, the judge in Fredericia who awarded Hondo his last CACIB was the breed specialist Madame Sylvaine Tompousky, who is present vice-president (former president) for the French Dogue de Bordeaux Club, and it’s always a special feeling to win under a breed specialist judge. Our daughter Selma competed in juniorhandling both days in Fredericia. She also did very well this weekend, being shortlisted as the final 6 in the mini-group one day, and being among the final 4 in the mini-group the second day, thereby going to the finals. So certainly something…

MY DOG show Gothenburg, Sweden

Peter and Selma went to the MY DOG show yesterday in Gothenburg, Sweden with Krondal’s T-Rex “Hondo” and Senseo Supernova. Hondo was entered in champion class and won Best Male and BOB with a Swedish CAC and the CACIB. Hondo is thereby new Swedish Champion. ;o) Also, he now has CACIBs from 3 different countries, and he just needs one more CACIB after February 10th to become International Champion. (he won his first CACIB on Februrary 10th 2023, and there must be 12 months between the first and the last CACIB). So we are hoping this title is within reach. ;o) Selma took Nova in juniorhandling in Gothenburg and did a very good job, ending up 2nd in her class (Mini, 10-13 years). It is so great to see the connection between Selma and Nova and we are looking forward to their continued work (and hopefully success) in the juniorhandling…

End of show year 2023

A few weeks ago we attended the last big show of the year, the Danish Kennel Club Winter Wonder Show in Herning. Our big boy Krondal’s T-Rex “Hondo” was entered in champion class and did us very proud by winning Best Male and BOB out of 25 entries. He thereby achieved the title Danish Winner 2023. As a result of Hondo’s show achievements this year, he is Danish Kennel Club Breed Winner 2023, being the DdB with the most points in Danish Kennel Club shows in 2023. Our daughter Selma competed in juniorhandling at the Danish Kennel Club Winter Wonder Show, and although she did a good job, she wasn’t picked for the finals this time. Once again, she showed the wonderful american akita Senseo Supernova and we are so thankful to Kennel Senseo for this opportunity for Selma – they are such a great team! Selma is qualified for…

Another couple of show weekends are over, this time in Roskilde and Rostock. First, we had a 3-day show weekend in Roskilde on 22-23-24 September. We had entered Krondal’s T-Rex “Hondo” in champion class on Saturday – he was only entered this one day because of the title Copenhagen Winner, that was awarded on Saturday. And he did very well and ended up Best Male and Best Of Breed with the title Copenhagen Winner 2023. ;o) Selma was entered in juniorhandling all three days in Roskilde with the American Akita “Senseo Supernova”, that she is still working so well with.

Selma was entered in Juniorhandling Mini (10-13 years) both days with the American Akita “Senseo Supernova”. It was a big field – 16 juniorhandlers on Saturday and 12 juniorhandlers on Sunday.

PBGV puppies & DdB HD and show

As we have previously posted, our PBGV female Peanut was bred to our male Whiskey in January. We have now done an ultrasound scan on Peanut, and it confirms that she is expecting puppies, however only a very small litter. The puppies are to arrive in the middle of March. Our DdB youngsters turned 18 months in January, which means we can now do the official hip x-ray to determine their HD-status. We have x-rayed the hips of our male Krondal’s T-Rex “Hondo” and it has been set to an A on one side and B on the other side, which we are very happy about. Hondo and his half-sister Valka went to the International Dog Show in Fredericia on February 11th and did us proud by winning Best Male and Best Female.

Update on all the dogs

Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen: Firstly, we had to make the sad decision a few months back to find a new home for Around Keeping The Dream Alive “Humle”. Humle did not thrive in the pack here and we felt that she would fit better as an only-dog in another family. We have found the perfect family for Humle and are pleased to see how she’s enjoying her new life as the only dog in the house. We therefore only have Peanut now in terms of having PBGV puppies, and we are not expecting a litter of PBGVs until the second half of 2023. Our last litter (the S-litter) now has their own page in the Our Breeding section. Dogue de Bordeaux: Krondal’s Valka has had her official status on hips and elbows and she came out with the brilliant result of HD/A and AD/0 – we are so pleased with…
