HELLO EVERYBODY AND HAPPY SUMMER FROM U.S. In VADS /
Ekkery c ",)
Latest news here is that our new little girl in the
house has got its first season.
And she made her debut in the puppy show, which she
was a little skeptical to at first...
She was carsick and puked on our trip to the
exhibition after she had been bathed and blow dried
for the occasion.
Little to do with it, just had to continue with
wipes and brush and let it rip ..
Yes, Yes one never know ..
She showed in the group for 4-6months and she got
BOB puppy and BIG2 puppy.
Reviews were very good and judge Torbjrn Granheim
comment was:
"Very promising. Excellent head. Good lines in body.
Excellent bone. Correct in front. Somewhat
bow-legged behind. A very good coat quality and
color. Very good movement. Excellent mental"
So this we are very pleased with;-)
Thanks again to her breeder Satu, Kennel Proceller
in Finland for this nice girl ;-)
She is very active and playful and has a strong
"ego" okay, a real cuddly girl also when she is in
need of that!
Now the summer go to a little vacation with the
youngest boy in the house Raymond on a trip to
Kristiansand, holidays will be a experiences for
children event, so I reckon that the mother is like
a dish cloth when she comes home ...
But kids have to also get some summer fun with a
trip to Sweden and daisies, water park and zoo and
MCDonnalds so we can allow us a year without chips
and burgers. When we get home it is probably our
beloved cabin that is the center and then its
Finnmark bathing suit,
fishing rods and lots of hiking in the mountains! EXTREMELY LOVELY.!
Dad will not go on vacation, but stay home and take
care of the rest of the family... both 2 and 4
legged ..
Thank you my good friend and right hand Oddrun
Knudsen to keep some order for me, ...
For helping me find Kiva while I enjoyed the sun on
Grand Canaria ..
Computer Help, Awesome phone calls, supporting me
through tick and thin and being a really good friend
whom I really appreciate very much!
So thank Oddrun you for being you, BIG HUG!!
Our Maja is retired from breeding and has moved to
her host family, she has settled in well.. are
thriving and they are very happy with her.
Some last photos of her...
HAVE A GOOD SUMMER ALL 2 and 4 legged friends!
We proudly welcome
Proceller Justify My
Love!
Tired but happy, well back home from Finland with
our new little girl Kiva.
Many thanks to the breeder Satu for making the drive
wintertime shorter for us by meeting us in Oulo,
very kind of you and we are very grateful. Read more
about our little beauty in her page.
New link added!
Happy New Year!
There where no puppies in Maja this time eighter, she just had us fooled
with her fake pragnency.
We are sorry for those waiting on our pyppies, and
there will be some time until there are puppies in
the house again.
Do to an error in my mail program I unfortunately cant put on all the wonderful greetings we received,
the only option is to add them in a guestbook greeting!
Still thank you all so much, and Merry Christmas to all our puppy owners and visitors :)
Here comes a little summary of how the summer has been with us.
You will find some new pictures also in our Gallery since I have gotten better to take along our camera on tour.
Our dogs have of course been involved and there has been some trips on them.
You'll be okay then .. Delicious with swimming when it is summer ..
Would continue all my dog friends and other friends, old and new buyers a lovely autumn!
We have a new layout on our site, many thanks to Oddrun in Tromsø for the new design!
New update will come soon. We welcome our foreign visitors to our new English version.
Unfortunately Maja had no puppies this time, we apologize for this the ones that where waiting for a puppy. We´ll try again on the next period, and those who will wait until then are welcome to it!
We are home again! Have had a pleasant trip to Oslo and Sandefjord. Has been visiting at Kennel Noxeema, Oskar and Arne and mated our Di Chi `s Lucky With Maya with their Louis von den Brunnegarten so now we're excited to baby beards in the house again.
Louis in his young days! Thanks to Oskar and Arne for their helpfulness and nice hours we had together. Puppy reservations can be made, just call or mail me if there are any who are interested in our litter.
Hello! So we were in a new year again. There really is not much new ... Planning a new litter on Maya when she comes in heat next time.
Not quite good to say when it will be but expect that it will be during the January / February, she is slightly unstable with her periods ..
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL FRIENDS AND SCHNAUZER NUTS!
May it be a good 2009 for both 2 and 4 legged !!!!! Thanks for all Christmas greetings and other requests both by phone and mail ;-)
We had a quiet and peaceful Christmas.
We now look forward to lighter days, to enjoy with our dogs( have to admit I am a bit afraid of the dark!!)

Thanks for Christmas greetings, we wish you all a nice Christmas season!
Now the exhibition weekend in Tromsø is over for this time,
took the trip mostly to get Maya eye examined before the scheduled Spring litter. She is clear, but treated for an eye inflammation in the left eye as the most likely get a lot of running in the bushes and that she therefore has a scratch in the eye. I want to thank my dear friend Oddrun Knudsen and her family for a great stay in Tromsø.
Good food and wine, and of course lots of shopping ...
Also had nice company at the exhibition of Kennel Kultiva, that did so well with little Winnie from Kennel Di Chi avd Tromsø got BOB puppy.
Also their Diaz, got both the CAC and BOS. Congratulations! Much laughter and joy with the old and new dog friends so it was definitely worth making a trip down to Tromsø and "be all about dogs" for a weekend.
Many thanks to Oddrun and Børge for their hospitality and kindness. Thank you also for the photos that photographer Børge largely accounted for! To dep. Tromsø huge Congratulations on both Cert, BIR, BIG1, and also receiving the Norwegian Champion title this weekend on Beautiful Tootza!!
We're planning puppy litters spring-09, more info on puppy page!
Puppy bookings is taken!
New photos of Maya on her side.
Hello! Then we were back with another update .. This has not happened as much since this summer. We did not travel anywhere during Summer but enjoyed many walks in the forests with our everyday looking dogs. Mayas coat looks just awful but it is what it is with Schnauzers and trimming. On the pictures she is trimmed all down because we plan to exhibit in October in Tromsø. There she can also have her eyes checked before the next litter, which we hope will be in the spring if everything goes as planned.
Tufsa is now retired from breeding... Otherwise, I THANK YOU SO MUCH to dep Tromsø for all help and support and expertise with our website .....
Autumn has come onto the scene, with frosty nights but gorgeous day with sunshine and beautiful colors in nature, and wonderful walks with our 4 legged friends.
Spysie, the mix puppy for our daughter is making progress. She is a energy bundle and eager to learn, but has a tendency to "not give a shit" when she becomes too happy, happy and excited. I hope that we can get it off her eventually. Otherwise she is a nice dog.
Wish all our old and new puppy buyers, and our dog friends and other friends a EXCELLENT AUTUMN!!
We have to everyone's grief sold our horse Mellem Balder to Carol Schmitz in VANGSVIK. But we chose to do this because there is little time for him now that our daughter who has had him is a teenager with so many interests. She also starts college this fall, then there will be little time for such a nice horse that requires a lot of exercise. It was a sad day when he went and not a dry eye among us. We've heard about the transport to assure Balder is well and that he's at home with his new owners. It is a consolation ....
Otherwise, our daughter is occupied by sheep and Herding and also would like agility training with a dog. So our new family member is a mix breed of Australian kelpie and Border Collie, it will be exciting to see how this mix will be and whether our daughter is mature enough for this responsibility .. The puppy is called Spysie and like most puppies. She settled just fine in the pack with our Minis. They help with the mission ...
So it was our exhibitions in Kirkenes 21/6-08:
Set only out Maya for Judge Per-Harald Nymark
Results: 1 quality, 1kompetition, CK, 2 BTK
Criticism: Female 3 years, MG type, feminine head, MG cut, typical race, Strong building harmonious body, well-angled and the back legs, Good paws, Excellent Coat quality. and disposition, good movement from the side, slightly unstable front, slightly narrow behind.
Must add that the judge found that she was a little too heavy in weight but that he thought she was a promising bitch . This is not in the critic but add it anyway. The reason for the weight is that she has been alone at home with father and the children while I've had a week's vacation after lambing and controls. When dad´s in charge at home everybody eats as much as they want... Yes, yes that was it for this time. Congratulations to Laila Somby with her debutant in the ring!! Proper feeding is a good thing!
I would also add that I plan a litter for spring 09.
Wish all the old and new puppy buyers, friends and acquaintances a very good summer,
and good luck in the ring !
Ari got his champion title at Spring Show in Tromsø!

Hello all dog friends!
It's been quite a break on my part, and I decided a update was overdue.
It's been quite a break on my part, and I decided an update was overdue. I'm a way to lacy photographer, but have added some new pictures this time.
Up here in the far north there is little action in our dog department at the moment. Spring has arrived and the snow is melting every day, witch reflects in our dogs .... Tufsa is dead serious on her job on our farm, and patrols the animals morning and evening. Our sheep are having their young at this time, so we are quite occupied with this.
We have bulls, sheep and a horse named Mellem Balder. And then it's the barn cat, whom Tufsa gets along with just fine as long as she is alone without Maya and Chiko. All of them together will chase her ... our cat has learned this and takes her steps as to whom is entering her children.
I decided to take a break from showing and breeding. Next litter is planned for spring -09, at the moment I'm looking for a suitable male.
So, little news. We enjoy our walks in between the birth of baby lamb, kids school work and other activities.
At the time we walk mostly on our beach, with lots of interesting birds two sneak up on. The mountain is still full of raw wet snow, so not very suitable terrain. But then the beach here in Ekkerøy is beautiful, and well known!!
That it for now, a little update on what's happening. I´m going to pull myself together and bring my camera along more on future walks.
Snow dogs and sled in Tana!
PS! Gallery updated / Gallery updated!
We wish you all a great New Year-08

We can only admit that we got fooled this year also. Took Summer in advance and was "surprised" by the snow, and even the dogs thought it was uncomfortably cold!
We hope it improves and wish visitors and puppy buyers a great 17th celebration.
