Viska

Viska is the sweetest sheltiegirl we were so lucky to have from her swedish family. She fell right into place with the other two rascals in the house. She has stolen our hearts completely.

Viska has been shown twice since she arrived, BOS, cert and cacib both times :-) I hope that her impact on our small sheltie population will be great, with her solid tempearament, good structure and fantastic movements.

Bláfelds puppies

Hekla delivered three healthy boys on new years eve. Moli is the father. All are doing very well, have opened their eyes and started to play now at three weeks.

Robba Dan Krummi stigahæsti sheltie 2010

Fjár og hjarð var með jólafund 1. desember. Þar voru stigahæstu hundar deildarinnar (af hundasýningum HRFÍ) hverrar tegundar heiðraðir og fékk Krummi heiðurinn fyrir hönd sheltie að þessu sinni, enda komst hann í sæti í tegundarhóp á tveimur sýningum af fjórum.

Krummi fetar þar í fótspor ekki ómerkari hunda en Mola og Felixar :-) Felix náði reyndar þeim árangri að verða stigahæsti hundur af öllum tegundum deildarinnar fyrsta starfsárið hennar, en þá var ekki búið að kaupa bikar....

Gaman að þessu og falleg viðurkenning fyrir hellings vinnu, Krummi hefur verið glæsilegur fulltrúi okkar á sýningunum, glansandi fínn og vel sýndur.

Úttekt

Eftir sýninguna var skundað beint upp í Málningarskemmu á bak við Dekurdýr og þar beið aldeilis fallegur hópur. Þangað var stefnt shetland sheepdog eigendum með hunda sína í úttekt hjá Birgittu Svarstad. Af 37 skráðum hundum á landinu mættu 26 :-D

Birgitta fór yfir hvern hund, skoðaði á borði og mat hreyfingar á gólfi, en Þorbjörg hljóp með þá alla og stillti upp. Ég skrifaði eins og ég gat náð niður og reyndi svo að romsa upp úr mér samantekt fyrir viðstadda, eins hátt og ég gat, því lofthitakerfið keppti ansi hressilega við raddböndin.

Það tók tvo tíma að komast yfir hópinn, en þeim tíma var vel varið. Ómetanlegt að fá alla svona saman, geta litið yfir kynslóðir, séð saman systkini með foreldrum og heildina. Glöggt auga Birgittu missti ekki af neinu. Ég tók saman í grein sem birtist á sheltie.is helstu atriðin sem hún nefndi.

Aldeilis gott veganesti fyrir pælingar framtíðarinnar!

Int. show in Reykjavik 20-21 Nov 2010

Last week has been very busy. After work it was Dekurdyr grooming saloon where the fabulous staff and owners were working long hours, with great help and mentoring from Hugo Quevedas from Peru/Norway. Grooming courses every evening after closing.

On Friday, my dear friend Birgitta Svarstad, flew over to Iceland to judge at the int. show. Stewarding and writing in her ring was just great, we had shih tzu, chihuahua, griffons, aussies, border collies, rough collies, oes, border terriers and silky terriers.

Viska was shown and groomed by the Dekurdyr team under Rodi Hubenthal (Norway) and finished BOS with her first cc and cacib and great ciritque.

BOB AND winner of group 1 (!!) was Ísi´s son: Robba Dan Krummi, only 14 months old :-D.

Two Ísi sons from Ally´s second litter got prize of honour in puppy class, Robba Dan Hrappur was BOB puppy and Robba Dan Rökkvi nr. 2.

After the show, it was time to meet the shelties in Iceland, so we hurried to the premishes were we were hoping at least a few shelties had shown up!

Pics later........

Moorwood Follwo the Fashion

Viska (Moorwood Follow the Fashion) has finally arrived to her new home.

Been counting the days for a month now, so this was a really big day for us. She is looking great, not lost too much muscle in the quaranteen, and is finding her place in the family.

Ewa Friman, who agreed to sell Viska to me, and Birgitta Svarstad, who arranged it, get a BIG THANK YOU from all of us! I hope she will be a great asset to the sheltie-population here in Iceland.

Viska is 3,5 years old, 36 cm and has free eyes. She is by Grandgables Say it Again Sam and Moorwood Set the Fashion. That bitch is by M. Properly Fashion, who was my Bangsi´s litter sister. I was never able to breed from him, so this is an extra icing form me.

Int. show in August

We had the first Int. show in August this year. That makes the int. shows in Iceland four - one each three months.

Brenda Banbury from UK judged shelties - she was quite focused on ears (also with the rough collies and border collies) and in general thought the dogs had too little substance and muscle and carried their tails too high.

Ísi´s babies had a good day, Robba Dan Krumme was BOB and BIG-3 with cc and Robba Dan Ísadora BOS with cc. Both too young to get CACIB. IsCh Blafelds Arctic Gun got the CACIB (and is now waiting to be confirmed an international champion!) and Moorwood Caribbean Night Copy was 3rd best dog with r-CACIB.

Robba Dan Krummi BOB-BIG-3. Only 11 months old!

Congratulations to all the winners!

Ísi & Allý's month old pups.

Here are some new pics of the three four week old boys of Ísi and Allý's new litter!

My sweet and happy boy, Moorwood Caribbean Blue Lovelace (Ísi) is enjoying summer.

Lotta

Its been 6 months since Lotta's litter was born and her coat is finally coming back. There is a little weight to shed, but we are working on it!

Felix granddaughter

I just got these great pics of young (6 months old) Felix granddaughter, by Fáfnir and Hekla, named Bláfelds Brenna (Katla). Unfortunately she will probably go over size, but none the less she is a very nice looking girl.

Summer puppies

The second litter of Ísi and Ally is two week old -

three big and healthy boys, two blue and one tri.

They are just about opening their eyes and I´m looking forward to receiving new pictures from Robbi, the breeder.

Bella í Kaupmannahöfn

A visit to Steinunn and Bella

We paid Steinunn, Mike and Bella (Moorwood Aflame of Charm) short visit last weekend. I took my good old measuring stick with me and Bella is 33 plus cm, so in the lowest region of the standard, but still within!

She is a funny girl, very quick and agile, curious, a little suspicious of strangers but very kind to everyone. She is quiet in the house, loves to play and is really a perfect little pet to her loving family, Steinunn and Mike.

Litla barnið.

Askur og Ása 9,5 vikna

Ása heitir hún.

Ása litla (Undralands Vetrarsól) fór í "heimsókn" á nýja heimilið sitt í gær. Það gekk allt saman vel og hún var örþreytt þegar hún kom aftur heim til hinna hundana, sem tóku hana bókstaflega "í nefið", þefuðu af henni hátt og lágt til að vita hvar hún hefði verið. Heilmikið ævintýri fyrir lítinn 9 vikna hvolp! Eftir smá sopa hjá Lottu steinsofnaði sú stutta og svaf fram á næsta dag.

8 weeks old

Lotta and Moli's puppies are 8 weeks old tomorrow.

Undralands Norðanvindur measures 20 cm now.

Undralands Vetrarsól is a big girl, 24 cm.

Father and son

Klaki, very much the teenager, and his dad Ísi.

Bláfelds Brenna

A new granddaughter of Felix at Bláfelds Kennel is Bláfelds Brenna, by Bláfelds Midnight Sun (cc, cacib) and Island shelties Fáfnir (2cc) - a son of Felix and Fiona.

She is now 8 weeks old, a really nice puppy. Now we are crossing fingers that she will keep size!

Happy New Year

2010 has arrived!

We wish you all a very happy year.

Klaki, 15 weeks.

5 vikna hvolpar

Hvolparnir eru fimm vikna og eru farnir að trítla um allt hús. Sól er orðin mun stærri en Vindur bróðir.

Sól var í miklu stuði í dag og æfði sig í veiðum.

Fyrst þurfti að veiða einn spariskó og drösla honum á milli herbergja.

Síðan var röðin komin að teppi sem þurfti að hrista duglega til.

Mamma slapp ekki, enda auðveld bráð.

Vindur bróðir var öllu rólegri, klóraði sér......

og uppgötvaði að það má alveg veiða fótinn. Skellti sér svo með í leikinn.

Gleðileg jól! / Merry Christmas!!

Kæru hundavinir!

Bestu óskir um gleðileg jól og farsælt nýtt ár, frá okkur og voffunum!

/ Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

3 weeks old

The puppies are three weeks old today.

The little bitch is growing fast now and has overtaken her brother. Their different characters are starting to emerge and now that I don´t need to stay awake all nights, I am still spending a lot of time just looking at them develop day to day. What little miracles they are.

The boy - Undralands Norðanvindur.

Attacking mum before she can get comfortable.....

The puppies have just started to play a little, very wobbly.

The girl, Undralands Vetrarsól.
