2008:

On November 21, 22 and 23, 2008, Nina won her first AKC championship points at the Swedish Vallhund Club of America supported entry in West Springfield, Massachusetts, taking Winners Bitch on the Friday (under judge Mrs. Dorothy O. Hutchinson) and Sunday (under judge Mr. Lee Brown), and Best of Winners on the Saturday (under judge Ms. Mary Anne Brocious), for one point each day. Not bad, considering she had a really upset tummy on the Saturday and didn’t show very well! She was back to her usual happy self on the Sunday. |
On August 24 2008 at the Stormont, Dundas & Glengarry Dog Association at Long Sault, ON, Nina earned another point toward her Canadian championship, winning breed under judge Ricardo Saldana. She also helped the Pembroke Corgi win a group 4, by being in heat and making him show off ("how YOU doin'?"). She now has 7 points!
 | |
On Saturday, May 24 2008 at the Ottawa Kennel Club show in Richmond, ON, Nina won Best of Breed and then went on to take group 4th in a group of 12 breeds. She earned 3 more championship points AND her first TOP DOG points (37). Thank you to judge John Rowton (who said Nina was "gorgeous", even when she gave him a lovely sit at the end of our down and back...hey, we're both learning!). She'd had enough by the time we got around to having our picture taken, so this is far from the most flattering picture of either of us, but what can you do? |

Sire: BISS CH Vastgota Birk |
Dam: Hurstfield Sweet Burberi (GBR) |
Nina is from Ulla Gamberg's Vastgota kennel in Ontario, Canada and we are very grateful to Ulla for entrusting us with this wonderful girl.
Nina is smart as a whip and loves to learn, she has a great work ethic and is an agility FIEND! She's just a joy to work with. She's also sweet and loving, and very much a lap dog.
In summer 2008, Nina was herding instinct tested by Kathy Warner of Tee Creek Dog Training Center, and
she passed with flying colors, showing great natural instinct and quickly starting to figure out how to balance the stock. We started herding lessons in November, 2008.
