We have been in the capitolcity and the last, big event for this year, Stockholm International show. In the absence of own successes we had a fantastic weekend and celebrated with our friends. Our biggest and warmest congatulations to Johan and Anneli and their bitch Ch Stardom Star Traveller for yet another prestigious BOB!! Also a big thanks to all our wonderful friends from abroad for very, very pleasant company (as always) during this weekend.

We also met Todd's young daughter, Amy, or Stardom Silk And Satin, which is her official name, now 13 weeks. Amy is a true character and really her daddys little girl in many ways. Hopefully halfbrothers and sisters will be born here at our kennel in the spring. See more about this at the puppypage.

At the moment it's not so much news here at our place. But we got some new pics today of Todd's babies in Finland. What a wonderful, bunch of chunky ones. They are now 2 weeks and can be found at kennel Ocean Pitfals'. We really look forward in following these puppies development. No wonder that one gets "puppysick" when looking at pics like these...

We went to Skövde to show our dogs at Springer Skaraborgs Open Show there. The judge this year was Stig-Arne Kjellevold (Kennel Westaway), from Norway. We had a really nice and pleasant day at this very well organised and professional show. A perfect showground with a big ring where the dogs could really move (nice, in comparision to the small, tiny rings at some of the kennelclubshows), professional judging through the day and a lot of prizes to all exhibitors. We had entered our male Graftonbury Total Recall, Todd and our young bitch Mistily's Annie Get Your Gun, Ivy. Todd was best dog and ended as BOS. Towards the end he lost his concentration a bit due to all the bitches in season around (I guess he's like men in general, they can't concentrate on more than one thing at the same time). Young Ivy, made her debut in the showring today and passed with "flying colours". She showed her socks off and won her class and was finally placed as BB-4 and also rewarded BOB-youngdog. We were very proud of her for this first performance. André was most happy about the "nice" screwdrivers that Todd won for him and the dogs appreciated all the bisquits and goodies they got!! Thank you all who organised this show, we had a really nice day!!

After several months of waiting we could finally welcome our second new member this summer. Graftonbury Capella, 15 weeks, landed safely on swedish ground together with her breeder Glenn. CJ, as her name is, is a halfsister to our Todd. We have been great fans of their mother, Calmolly Jemima Puddleduck at Graftonbury, ever since the first time we saw her and that was the reason Todd came to us. When we were told that she was going to have her last litter, we immedeatly booked a bitchpuppy from that litter. The father to be was, the in the UK big winning, Ch Mompesson Royal Destiny. He has sired many offspring that we like with the type that we want. So we were very excited when we went to visit the puppies at Graftonbury when they were 10 weeks. We were not disappointed and we fell for CJ and a sister, maybe a little more for CJ, much because she was the one who most reminded us of their mother. After a couple of weeks, Glenn phoned us and told that CJ was the one who was coming to Sweden. Our greatest thanks to Glenn and Jan for letting us have this wonderful little girl!!

Dottie made her official debut in obediencecompetition in Hörby and they got 180 points, which is a 1:st prize and they were only half a point from winning the whole competition.
