Dratini Blastoise (Stacey)

Good news from Norway about Biko's daughter Stacey. Her hipscore just like her sister her in Holland (Zerline) is also HD-A! Congratulations to all especially Toruun the breeder who made such an effort to come to Holland with Amy for the mating.

Puppies expected: Biko & Cedo vom Dalhauk (Pekka)

The scan reveals all Pekka is expecting puppies around the 5th of January 2010. We are very please for the breeder that the mating with Biko has been sucessful!

Biko is the Dutch Winner 2009!

Today was the Dutch Winner Show 2009. Biko was entered in the Veteran Class, with his 9 years and 3 months I felt it was probably time to do this instead of the Champions Class. At the end of the Day after putiing on a magical performance Biko was Best Veteran, Best Dog and has won the title Winner 2009! The icing on the cake was at the end of judging Biko competed against his own daughter Avanti von Schweppenburg for Best of Breed. Pappa was took the honours! Avanti now can also call herself Winster 2009. I must not forget to mention either that Dratini Bayleef, Bikos imported Norwegian daughter was 1st Excellent in her class as well. A day to remember!!

Oh No! No! No!

Just love this photo from Martin and Zira (Dratini Beautifly).
Toruun hope you don't mind me using this!

Aanvad Daimy's Princess

Well lovely Aanvads Daimy's Princess UK (litter) has returned to the show ring after some time. She is the 2008 BOB from Crufts and also the 2008 Club Winner in the UK. She was shown at a Scottish Championship show and I think the critique says it all.

"Hosie’s Annvad Daimys Princess Beautiful 4 year old blonde bitch. Judged her before as a puppy and loved her then. She has since matured into a stunning adult both standing and moving. Her head is feminine with the darkest of eye, her pigmentation is good, her lips beautifully fitting. Correct jaw, with small neat ears. Her shoulders gentle slope back and continue into strong long straight top line, with loose flowing tail held correctly. Super blonde shading. She glides around the ring with her head held high on the neatest of tiny feet, very much in tune with her master. Star quality, what more can I say. BB & BOB"

Congratulations Tirza and Zerline!!!

It has been a very nice week for us here. Aika von der Schweppenburg passed on Sunday the 9th of November her Adult Character test (Mag-test/ZTP) with flying colours and Dratini's Bayleefs (Zerline) HD results are in.....HD-A. We are especially happy as the owners would like to breed with these girls!

Puppies....Puppies Fingers crossed!

Love is really in the air and Pekka and Biko really do like each other! Today a sucessful mating took place. Keeping our fingers crossed and not tempting fait we should see puppies arriving at the beginning of January 2010. All colours can be expected.
