The History
I was born into a family with three dogs. One Doberman, one Rottweiler and Doberman mix and one Collie. They become a start of a life I'll never be without. My parents had always loved animals, so horses and dogs had a major part in my life from the begining. My first own dog was a little mix I named Pønki.
She was a real beauty and just so lovebal. Sadly Pønki was hit by a car and died just 5 years old. That was a real big sorrow in my life, and i never gonna forget that day. But she got two litters and from the first one I kept a small white bitch with big black spots. I called her Toya after a English Setter I use to know when I was a small kid. I have never ever had a dog with that kindness my lovely Toya had. She was the perfect dog.
Then we got a Samoyed called Raija. The most scared dog I had ever seen. It was very clear that this dog have had a wery tuff start of her life. She was a real wreck. But very, very slowly she became the wonderful dog we had hoped for.

Raija was the first dog I was showing on a dogshow. That was in Tromso the year 1993. We were also very active in agility training and did it great. Raija never liked the obidience, and she only did that for me. In the middle of the 90's I started to show her at juniorhandler contests.
I loved it and very slowly Raija started to enjoy entering the showring as well. In 1997 me and Raija won the juniorhandler contest in Tromsø and I qualified to the Norwegian maincontest in 1998 in the Vikingskip in Hamar.
In 1998 I got my first Saluki import from Kennel Khalils in Sweden. He was a surprise puppy and a gift from my parents. Siv, my trainer and mentor had talking my parents into giving me this wonderful dog. Thank you Siv for giving me this beautiful surprise in Gällivarre, Sweden 26.06-98! This dog has been my one and only for many years. It's something special with him and I'm so pleased to have him in my life. He is my heart and soul, and the dog I'm talking about is of course Imam.
Imam was just amazing. He won almost everywhere we went and he still shine in the showring. The old man still going strong, and has won many Best in group and Best In Shows. But wery soon he's going to live a normal family dog life and just enjoy the days as a happy old man. Just the life he deserve.
In 2003 I got my second Saluki import from Kennel Khalils in Sweden. That dog was Naqib, a real handful and a dogowners nightmare. But what a characters... Just so lovebal and so kind with people and dogs, but a hunting dog like nobody else. He has been a real Saluki drawn by his instinct and with a powerful energy. Read more about Naqib here
In 2005 came a Boston Terrier from Terje and Kathrine Lindström at Kennel Kimura in Haugesund into my life, Norway. This lovely dog has to be what we call a ones in a lifetime dog. He is just that dog that every Boston owner and a handler dream about. Thank you Terje and Kathrine for letting me have this wonderful dog. Everyone love this small brindle and white gentleman, and his going to be seen in the showring for many years ahead. We call this dog Ulf. Naqib adopted Ulf from the moment he came to me, and ever since they has been best friends.
