Here are some pictures of Lobo (Alkemi Beowulf del Roble LS) at his very first show in Puyallup, both outside the ring and inside the ring. He won Best of Winners both days, and the Best of Breed dog was the dog who won the National Specialty last year so…
(You can see he was very stressed and had trouble relaxing…):
Here is Ollie (Alkemi Breaking Away LS) at 10 months (some pictures include his sister Sky, who is a Border Collie/Corgi – you will notice that Ollie has continued the great Vallhund tradition of ear-biting). Ollie is studying hard at agility class and will hopefully join his sister in NADAC when he’s ready:
Here is Colby (Alkemi Batman LS) at 10 months. He weighs 20 pounds (his big brother Riley (Alkemi Aston Martin LS) is 26 pounds). Colby was one of the “littlebit twins”, with Cricket, but he is growing up nicely!

Cricket (Alkemi Braveheart ST) and Zhora (Alkemi Blade Runner LS) met again for the first time since they were babies last weekend at the Aurora Kennel Club show. They were very happy to see each other!
Here is Lobo at 10 months, he is 12″ tall and weighs 26 pounds (his sister Zhora is 23.5 pounds and the same height, little bit sister Cricket is 16 pounds). He’s been busy, participating in agility demonstrations and working on his obedience and tracking with his mom Jan.
Check this out! Zhora is currently the #6 Swedish Vallhund in Canada! Thanks to her one point! Heh.
Zhora took best of breed today at the Norfolk Kennel Club CKC show for her first Canadian championship point! She showed really well (considering she is 8 months and 1 day old) for her first time out, marched around the group and puppy group rings with the bigger dogs no problem! She was good on the table and made the judge smile when she jumped up on her to say hi after a nice stack at the end of her down and back. Very pleased with my baby pup. Back tomorrow for more.
Zhora’s First CKC Point: 4/7/13
No points today, but she showed well (and the judge gave the BOB a group 4, so she obviously really liked her). You can’t even see her tail in the picture, she was wagging so hard.
Here is Ollie (Alkemi Breaking Away LS) demonstrating his new job, thanks to his mom Pat! Wow! This will come in handy for his NADAC Chances runs!
Jim’s first question was “how did she stop him from ripping the paper up”…(obviously Jim has lived with Vallhunds for nearly a decade)
Congratulations to Lobo (Alkemi Beowulf del Roble LS) on earning his Canine Good Citizen today in Washington! His mom Jan said he was a superstar and charmed everyone. Well done Jan and Lobo!
