“Victor”
was our first Flatcoat. We bought him from Yvonne Klang in Stockholm, Kennel Victor
had a couple of starts in Elite class, however not reaching all the way to a 1st
prize. Luckily he produced a few very good litters, that have shown considerable
results. About 30 1st prizes in official classes, and at least 6 of
them are now in Elite class. Sadly
enough Victor left us much too early, but we did get 6 years with him, 6 intense
years with much sweat and tears and many laughs. |

“Lucas”
originally came from England, imported
by Ragnhild Ulin, kennel Almanza from Sarah Whitaker, kennel Bramatha . He
stayed a while with Yvonne Klang, kennel Va’Vått, before coming to live with
us. We had a lot of fun with Lucas in the show rings – and he loved it. He won
a couple of BIS and BIS-placings as a veteran,
and BIS-2 as a Champion. Working tests was not his cup of tea, but in practical
hunting he was an esteemed retriever. Lucas also had some successful litters. A
few of his offspring are Show Champions, some are competing in Open class and
Elite class in working tests.

“Musslan”,
our first bitch. We bought her from Eva Nilsson-Saar, kennel Raas-Line’s. On
Mikael’s part this was really a hit workingtest-wise.
My lovely Mussaln went to
heaven with an age of 14½ years. |

" Råttan" - the first bitch out of our own breeding. And this is how we were used to seeing her - in the middle of the iitchen table. In the field she was very docile, spontaneous and quiet ... but she soon saw through the trick with cold game, that it is only make-believe, just like dummies, so she put all her effort in to practical hunting and tracking. Tracking was her absolutely greatest passion. She was never much of a show dog, but she got her CCs, most of them by breed- or retrieverjudges. "Råttan" was a fantastic breeding-bitch. She was always a great mother and loved and cared for her little ones. She imprinted in them her enormous will to please, which now reveals itself in her 3rd generation puppies. For her mates we have chosen dogs with quite a bit of "go".
At the age of ten my brown queen peacefully went to sleep in my arms. Oh, it hurts.

Crabbe turned out to
be a "workoholic", from her first to he Crabbe became very special to Anna, being her first own really clever work-dog. With 2 first prizes from youngsterclass she passed quickly through openclass. Two 1st prizes in Elite class plus the practical hunting test - and with merely one first prize to go before becoming a Champion, her working test carrier ended.
The first one "Sue Grafton book-titles" or the "letter-litter" and the second one "Forest Animlas" have been succesful and there is surely more to come. Crabbe will always have a special corner in our hearts.
