Thornapple best breeder group!
We didn't show the breeder groups in the big final. Because it's very
difficult with this different colors.
In Sweden we get critiques on every dogs. And the critiques from yesterday
was FANTASTIC!!!!
Boom: This is an Aussie from top of the nose to the tail. Power combined
with vitality and 100& balance. Fantastic head. Wonderful forechest and
body. Lovely bone and movements so fantastic as you seldom see.
A pleasure to judge this dog.
Enya: Fairly wonderful
Aussie (we use Fairly very much in Swedish, my
note). The small hair in my neck stands up of shiver when I look at this
wonderful bitch. Fantastic anatomy. So attentive, flexible. You get the
impression that she can work a whole day without being tired. She maybe is
one kilo to heavy this is visible in her topline.
(probably because she's pregnant LOL, my note)
Thornapples breeder group: Breeder group with 4 dogs out of 4 combinations.
One of the most beautiful breeder groups I've seen. This breeder have really
understand the breeds "must have." 4 beautiful Aussies in a group like this
is fantastic to see!
Hugs from a PROUD Anna-Lena! :-))))
AMAZING ANNA-LENA!
CONGRATULATIONS ON A JOB WELL DONE!
Thank you for your beautiful presentation and dedication!
Congrats to Marie Johansson &
Eike Fokkens who own Ruby & Cuchara!

Marie Johansson reports:
Hi Everybody! I know A-L
has told you about this wonderful weekend. I am so proud that my little Lucy
become BOS one day.
I did not think she would beat Enya. Lucy does not have that much coat . She is
going into heat soon and I am going to breed
her to “Bommie boy." The judge really loved Lucy (she has been judging her two
times before). Today she said to me that Lucy runs
like a train and that Lucy is a QUALITY bitch! I have got some pictures of
my girls and of me and Boom. I did show Boom on Saturday.
He was a fun dog to show. He had a lot of energy! When I went home from
Gothenburg I took Chauncey with me, he is a wonderful dog.
When we are out in the forest he runs and he runs. He loves to play with Olivia
and he LOVES to sleep in my bed.
Now finally we have SNOW !!! The dogs has been out and played a lot in the
snow!!! Hug Marie, Lucy and Olivia
CONGRATULATIONS ON AN
AWESOME WEEKEND Marie!

We just came back home from
my parents who live at the sea cost Split, so Maris was swimming and
enjoying in the sunny winter. When we came back home at Zagreb, it was snowy so
Maris got her winter

best character ever!

I just thought I'd send a little note and some pictures to let you know that
Jasmine is doing great. At 5 months she
moved up to the Advanced Obedience class from the Beginner's class, and she is
doing awesome. She is the youngest
in her class and everyone is impressed with her. A month ago she got her CGC,
and now we will be visiting some nursing
homes with our class so I am looking forward to that. Emily and Jasmine
