Uno (Herr Uno von Thekla) was x-rayed together with the A-litter at our local veterinary, and I have completely forgotten to announce that he also have A/A hips!! This means that Uno is our third import from German working-lines and the third to have perfect hips. Very happy to see how strong these lines are on joints. In Norway we don’t x-ray elbows on Airedales.
A month ago we took some mobil-photos of Uno preparing for a track, and I show them here. But we promise to take some photos one day, and show fresh photos of this lovely, energic airedale-cangaroo.

Maggie and her owner Hanna attended a unofficial Show in Täby, Sweden on Sunday, and they managed to become BOB (4 entered RR) and was BIG-1 (3 breeds attending). Congratulations Hanna! A great practice before they will enter the official ring this winter 🙂 Hanna said that Maggie behaved beauifully, and showed her good side. Maggie is usually a little monster, having inherited all the naughty genes from both mother and father. Just like we love them 😉

We met up with Kani, Leon and Juba with their owners for a walk in the forrest, light a fire, eat hotdogs and introduce the youngsters to fieldtracking. The youngsters did a great job fieldtracking for the first time, and we have a bunch of talented fieldtrackers here! We will do more practice, and eventually try some competitions! Thank you everyone for a fantastic day in the forrest with you! 🙂 Look here for more photos!

120912 ~ Chistinenheide-puppies
Me and my father went to see Dasty vom Treffenwald and Ivy von der Christinenheide’s puppies at kennel Christinenheide in Berlin. It was so nice to meet Roxana, her familiy and her dogs again, and last but not least meet Dasty vom Treffenwald. I have had him in my thougts for quite some time now, as I was thinking of him as the sire of Isi’s planned litter. When I met him I had no doubt – he was the ONE! Dasty is a wonderful dog in every way. He is almost 8 years old, but doesn’t look that way. His coat are good, he have a sound bodystructure and a great mentality. I am sure he will be a perfect match for Isi. Below are some photos of Dasty and his puppies.

9 September Leon, Kani, Maggie, Juba and Kiwi traveled with us and their owners to Sätra in Sweden for their mentalitytest. The youngers are still young, and this test is a good help to get to know the dogs better. The mentalitytest is also called “mental conditions for dog training” and this is a very appropriate description for this test. For the older dogs we use the test to see “how did they end up”.
Kiwi was first out, and she showed that she is a VERY good dog. The judges smiled when they came back with the results, and was happy to tell me that “this dog is a VERY good dog”. The test showed that Kiwi is open and social towards people, she abreacts quickly, direct and independently, she have a very good concentration and get the highest scores for nerveconstruction. She is also gunshot proof. A perfect balance between her mental traits, and a dog like this surely does not “grow on threes”. Kiwi is not just beautiful, she also have a proven wonderful mentality! 🙂 See her MT-protocol in swedish here and video of the test here.
Maggie did a very good test, and even if she is only 14 months, she shows a very good balance and a very good nerveconstruction. I am sure this girl will end up to be even better than her mother Kiwi and father Sheriff. See her MT-protocol in swedish here and video of the test here.
Leon also did a very good test, and he also have a very good balance and good nervconstruction. With time I’m sure this boy will get full score on nerveconstruction, abreaction and concentration, just like mummy Kiwi and sister Maggie. And just to emphasize, these scores is not easily earned! See his MT-protocol in swedish here and video of the test here.
Kani and Juba also did great, and showed good nerves, concentration and abreactions. But they are still very much “puppyish” and needs time to mature. But with time and experience, I am sure these two would do just as good as their more “grown up” siblings 🙂 See Kani’s MT-protocol in swedish here and video of the test will come later. See Juba’s MT-protocol in swedish here and video of the test here.
It’s important to remember that the youngsters are only 14 months old, and there are still happening much in their minds at this age. But I’m extremely happy to see that all our dogs tested this weekend either got relatively good nerveconstruction or good nerveconstruction, showing that they are strong and concentrated, abreacts quickly and reacts correctly in every situation.
