african hunters amazing baskerville

Sunday August 30th, 2009: Minos daughter RV Rakel attended three shows in Drammen! She performed like a dream! In the first show she ended up bb-2, the second bb-3 and BIR Junior and in the last show once again bb-3!! What a weekend! All times just one dog from the CC!! :)) Great work Anne Karin and Rakel!
Saturday August 29th, 2009: Today we attended the RR Club Stockholm specialty show at Ulriksdals Castle and Minos ended up 3rd best male! I'm so proud of him! He really enjoyed himself in the ring today and that's the most important thing for me! :)

More great African Hunter's news: "Littlesister" Keba (breeders Karin & Tord's sweetie) became BOS puppy 4-6 months!!! What a start in the show ring!! :) Minos brother Wes compeated in obedience for the first time and won the class!!! Weeeheeyyy to go Liselott and Wes!!! We are sooo proud of you!
I also got some time to catch up with Minos breeder Karin & Tord at African Hunter's (watch some pics from today!) and some other friends around the ring! Always nice!! :) What a Great day! :)
Saturday August 22nd, 2009: Today Axel got baptised! Bo Axel Holger Karlsson (or Bosse Akke Hogge as we call him when we are joking) :) He didn't quite enjoy the organ playing as the rest of us did... poor little Axel! But he found the water at bit more interesting! :) My little sister Marita became godmother, and Lelles litte brother Staffan became godfather! :) The priest was a good friend of ours, Ulf!
Wednesday August 27th, 2009: It's been a while! But now we are back!
The summer went by very, very fast! We spent it in our summerhouse in Lunger! Lovely! Except for the mosquitoes, spiders and ticks! But now we are back "home" (I call both Lunger and Sthlm home...) again in Sthlm/Sundbyberg! :) Now I'm looking forward to a lovely autumn with a lot of long walks in the woods with good friends and Minos of course!!

I'm really happy that Minos babies are coming along sooo good! I'm so proud of them (and the owners of course!!) :)

2 weeks ago I convinced my mum & dad that it was a good idea to drive to Oslo with me & Minos. And so we did! At 2 am we started the journey to Oslo! The show didn't go as we'd hoped for, but the second best thing was that I meet all my Norwegian and some Swedish friends! :) Soo happy to see you all! The best thing was that RV Rakel won the junior class and qualifyed for CRUFT! Woohoo! She looked stunning in the ring as always!
Wednesday August 12th, 2009: Some more puppynews!
This weekend Rex Ventors Ruger ended up reserve dog challenge (2nd best male) from junior class at the Brisbane Royal show! Great handled Dale! :) He has also been x-rayed with a total hipscore of 6 which is equivalent to interantional grade B (if you want to know more about that system ask Veronica ;)) and elbows 0/0! :); This weekend Minos and I attended the KC show and RR Specialty Show in Askersund!
At the KC show Minos ended up 5th best male in a stiff competition and African Hunter's won the breeders group!! :) (Wesley, Bim, Minos and Bonita).
