Summer so far...

Summer so far, has gone by way too fast! Sunny hot days, dashed with some healthy welcome doses of misty rain, a couple of thunderstorms, nice hikes with the dogs in beautiful mountainous scenery, a couple of dog shows, a spontaneous surprise trip to Drøbak to attend a great weekend handling course with Hugo Quevedo and a really nice visit with friends at Kennel Kerenza where Alpenglow Tally-Ho Of Kelimoor "Alphi" lives.

Practicing for the show ring during Hugo Quevedo's handler class in Drøbak. Awesome class, very inspiring! I have a lot to practice on... 3 weeks until Elverum and 4 weeks until Bjerke!



Hugo being the judge...

During the class we traded dogs and practiced showing someone else's dog.
Here is Signe from Kennel Bildvin practicing with Tally, while I practiced with her Kos.

Back home, these pictures from July 4th.
Early morning start to go to a dog show with River.
