It has been snowing a lot in the weekend

Ami and the puppies playing in the garden

It has been quite a busy weekend at home. As everybody in Sweden loves to go on holiday this time of the year, they all want to escape the dark and cold I think. We have a couple of extra dogs!!! Hm happy to see them go home again.

Saturday I was on the Poodle Club meeting and my mother arrived later in the evening, we also had a mating here that was travelling 900 km one way by car. Hope they made it safe back home.

On Sunday we had to change the door to the doghouse, we will refresh the whole doghouse in the spring summer and I am soo looking forward to that. I spend a lot of time there with the dogs, think I am there more than in the house. I don´t know what we should have done without Peters parents, Peters father helped Peter to change the door and everything, Peters mother is also helping out with laundry and other practical things in the house. Thank you!

Here are some pictures of the puppies, Ami and Ganza that are playing in the snow yesterday.

Puppies 6 weeks old

Females and males looking for the right homes!

This weekend we have been very productive here at home. Our puppiebuyer Susanne Fajersson with her lovely daughter, Elna have been here with Adams sister, Huffish Love Killer “Berta”. They have helped out to clip all the 9 Standard Poodle puppies faces and feet! And we also managed to do all our other adult dogs, clipped and bathed. Peter was helpful as usual. Now its only the rest left, I have my last day at my old work tomorrow before I start the new adventure which I am really looking forward to.

I am going to be a KAM- sales person at the Finnish-owned Edita Group, placed in Stockholm. www.edita.se

Siri and Simon puppies are now 6 weeks old and they are starting to look like Poodles. We still have females and males available for the right homes, they look very promising so far. Please contact us for more information if you are interested.

Simon is staying with us during 2012 before he goes back again to his owner Betty Brown in the US.

No off to try to get some sleep, William is not very well and needs a lot of attention even through the night.

Happy babies

Huffish On Tour in Moscow!

Adam BIS-3 Junior in Moscow

Last Thursday I went on the plane to Moscow. With me I brought our young Standard Poodle “Adam” Huffish On Tour. I was having a Master Class seminar on Friday in Moscow. It was my friend Olga Knorre who has the Smart Connection Poodles in Moscow that was helpful to arrange it all.

This was my first visit in Russia, although I have known Olga and her family for over 10 years, god time flies. It was a new experience in many ways. To go by car in Moscow you must have really good nerves, my mother would probably scream and lie down on the floor, it goes really fast and there are many, many cars. I will never complain about the traffic in Stockholm after this, although Olga drives really good she should work extra as a taxi driver. She definitely knows how to get through the fastest and best way.

It was a really great venue at the seminar and there were people who came with plane flying 9 hours!!! She lived closer to Japan than to Moscow, there were a few that was travelling many many hours by car as well. Thank you all for coming to the seminar I hope it was worth it. I really had a great time.

Saturday we had a little time in Moscow city, Red square and all the classical buildings. I don’t think Moscow could show up in a better whether it was over 20 degrees and the sun was shining. All the leaves had the different lovely colour at this time of the year. After coming home it was time to groom Adam for the show on Sunday. Olga also had her friend there Svetlana Kizina who is a great groomer and breeding Miniature Poodles of the Lenholl prefix.

Sunday we went to the show just around Moscow and it was a big show with over 4700 dogs entered in all breeds, International show with CACIB. Adam was entered in Juniorclass. He behaved well, a bit wild as all my young dogs are but he havent been anywhere since the World Show in Paris in July I was happy with him. Most important is that he likes the show and that he does. I was really pleased with the quality of the Toy, Dwarfs and Miniatures, there were some really nice ones groomed to perfection. As I have told some of the Swedish people at my seminars the Russians and some of the other European countries have already started to pass us regarding the quality of the dogs, handling and presentation. If I should be a little critical some of the handlers are running far too fast in the ring, so please think about to slow down a little and look were your dog is, they are supposed to run as fast so they can still carry themselves. Mrs Tiina Taulos was judging the Poodles and in the Group we had Mrs Birgit Seloy. The Dwarfpoodle, Ch. Smart Connection Heartbreaker was 3rd in the group. Congratulations to Olga who bred and owns him together with the handler/groomer Larissa. I have to learn all this Russian names better, sorry folks I am working on it.

Adam also competed for the BIS Junior. He really loves to show himself and has a big smile on his face, I love this temperament, he is all this by himself, natural. He ended up BIS-3 which I was really really pleased with. Adam is staying in Moscow with Olga who will campaign him for the upcoming year.  I think this dog has a bright future, he just needs to be around to learn more. Thank you Olga for this and also for the lovely time I had in Moscow. I have already told my family we will go with Peter, Oscar and come for a nice time again, soon.Now catching up at home and starting to feed the puppies who turned 3 weeks of age this weekend.

Huffish success in Sweden, Norway, Italy and Denmark this weekend!

Rachel and Camilla BOB yesterday!

We got 2 new Championtitles: Huffish Heartbreak Hotel, “Torak” owner Anny Nilsson who came here 2 years ago for a pet puppie, she was not going to show at all. And she has done a remarkable job, travelling and grooming this Standard Poodle and he looks great, thank you Anny for all the work you put down with Torak, he is a handful. Toras is out of “Hollie” and “Thomas”. Swedish and Norwegian Champion, pictures please???

In Högbo our “Rachel” got BOB with Camilla and I think that means that she is currently topwinning Standard Poodle in Sweden right now. At the same show our Finnish boy, FinCH, Huffish On And On, “Dino” got his Swedish CAC and the Swedish Championtitle. Dino is probably also currently topwinning Standard Poodle in Finland, maybe he is second we are not sure. Congratulations also to Dinos owners and handlers. There will be pictures soon. Dino is out of “Kira” and “Diego”.

In Denmark Sida went to show crazy girl Bonnie, she is a half sister to Torak and you can tell when you see them in the ring, Hollie baby with Diego as a father. She got the, CAC, CACIB and BOS to the white handsome “Thomas” son who also got his Danish Championtitle that day, Ch. Abicas Miles Ahead, bred and owned by Marianne and Kirsten and Kathy Arnold as a co-owner. I havent seen this dog for a while but he sure looks very nice, looking forward seeing him. Congratulations to all!

Katarina also showed Chris in Italy, first time since he got back home to her again, he got BOB under breed specialist Mrs Lorena Merati and ended up 3rd in the group, Robert Blumel.

This means that Hollie has 5 champions in the litter with Thomas, I hope I havent missed someone. It’s really great. Thomas got another champion as well and Diego got another championtitle on his kids. It’s really nice to see that both males and females can produce and its even nicer when I don’t need to be around and do all the job myself and the judges finds the dogs without me being in the ring. I can get use to stay home it was really really nice yesterday. Thanks to all that does a great job with the Huffish dogs, even if I don’t talk to you all the time, I think about you and I am very grateful! Hope you feel that?

Off in the rain, its pooring down here!

Everything at the same time!

9 puppies are born!

9 Puppies born, 1 CAC with Brian the Afghan, BOB with the Dwarf and BOS with Rachel!! This was our Saturday 17th of September.

We were expecting puppies the upcoming Monday with “Siri” and “Simon”. I always check the temperature on the females as you can get a hint when they will start to have the puppies. So I did this time as well, Thursday Siri had 38,1 which is normal and Friday she started to drop a little bit to 37,6. I thought she will probably start on Sunday or Monday. This weekend its an International dog show in Sweden, Högbo. I was going to show our Afghan for the first time, which I was really looking forward to. Rachel was entered as well as the little Dwarf poodle, Ch. Acclaims Black Pearl “Elsa”,  that I have here to show. Freddie our friend was coming on Friday to be dogsitter during the weekend we were going with the whole family. All was fine, Siri was eating the dogs were groomed and cars packed. We were driving in 2 cars in case I needed to go home.

At the show everything was happening on the same time, Afghan, Dwarf poodles and Standard poodle males in 3 different rings!! I had to ask my friend Maria Modig to help out with Elsa and off we went with Brian to the Afghan ring. I was very pleased how Brian behaved, he really loves to show himself, he flew in the ring and behaved well, he starts to stand better as well but we are working on that. He ended up 2nd best male with CAC after his father “Carlos”. Brian just turned 9 months old. Per Lundström who is a Sighthound person breeding Wolfhounds was judging. Carlos also won the group later in the day. At the same time as I was going in the ring with Brian, Freddie called Peter and said that Siri started to have puppies!!! Just great!!! Luckily the Standard poodles are great delivering,,, After the Afghans we ran over to the Poodle rings again and it was time for Rachel. Maria got BOB with Elsa! Thank you so much Maria for your help. Kristin Sahlström was the judge for the Standard Poodles and Rachel got BOS.

I had to leave immediately to help Freddie and check out the babies. Peter, William and Camilla stayed for the Sunday as the Poodles were on the Kennel Club show then. I took Brian back home with me. Unfortunately some people thought that I’ve got mad and left because of that, I am sad that people don’t have bigger thoughts about me than this.

Finally at home all was fine and Siri ended up with 9 black puppies, 6 males and 3 females. This will be a very exciting litter, Simons first in Europe.

Today grooming and cleaning is on the list. What a difference in life??!!!

William and Katarina!

Katarina and William on a Huffish Tour!!! very happy both of them….ö

Katarina came very quickly to Sweden and are going back again tomorrow. Thank you for helping us out with Boss during this months, he looks great and you kept him in the best condition!

William was in the best mood when we were taking the pictures of Brian and he showed Katarina around..
