Hello again! The year started with a show in Sandefjord, where Sætra's Alana attended her first dog-show ever, 9 months old. And managed to get the Certificate and won BOB! (She is a "double grand-child" of Cubilon.)

Couple of Cubilon-dogs and their offspring are mated recently; In Sweden kennel Sayot's are expecting puppies 20th February after Cubilon's Hermod Homeopat (owned in Denmark), under Sayot's Jammy Jamaica. Also in Sweden, kennel Wonderwhite have mated the Cubilon-grand-grand-child Wonderwhite's Classic Dream,(Pepsi), with the famous Multi CH Multi Winner Vi'Skaly's Fabian Sirius Do-Ca. Known from Crufft's 2002. They are expecting puppies the 18th of March.

And I'm really looking forward to have puppies here, too! I can almost smell them when looking at photos from other breeders...  "Helga, we are ready to leave", we just have to wait for her period of heat.....

Sætra's Alana recieved Cert and went out as 2nd Best Female at Dog-show both 7th and 8th of February! Woowh - what a flying start to a carrier!

SÆTRA'S ALANA

Sayot's didn't get any puppies this time. But Carina at Wonderwhite is convinced that Pepsi is pregnant....

From Denmark they reported that Cubilon's Hermod Homeopat -pet name Marcus - became Danish Champion! At the very same day that his "room-mate" Sayot's Kamelia Kame did the same!

There has been several dog-shows already. But see under Show-results for them. It has been a sad time at kennel Cubilon. A pronounced chapter is over. My beloved first lady, Ester, has left us. Almost elleven years old, but healthy untill the two last weeks of her life.

Her calm, but dignified expression, and her fantastic character will hopefully be passed on to her children and grand-children. She is deeply missed at home, both two,- and fourlegged.

THIS PHOTO IS TAKEN EXACTLY 1 MONTH BEFORE.

 BODIL, ESTER AND MADIKKEN ARE SAYING HELLO TO THESE BEARS...

And my beautiful, brown, old lady also has left. Dear Madikken was put to sleep June 18th. Many thanks to Trude and Per for giving her a perfect home. And thanks to Madikken to let me know her!!! A huge peronality is gone.

It has been so many sad news this year, I almost forget the better things. Dog-show isn't THAT important.

But the kennel-prefix is well mentioned both in the results, and at the "Most winning pyrenean List". Both in Norway and  Denmark! We have been at the international show in Trondheim, Helga became BOS. We were at Otta;  Martin became BOB, and both Inga and Ivers got Cert!

Cubilon's Gullik Gaiete and his owner Morten, has attended a course for trackers. This was held in Sweden, but they are living only half an our from the border. And they did very well! So well that they were chosen to act in a display!

I'm looking more and more forward to have puppies here again! Helga will be mated now this autumn, approximately october....

And the next happening around here is "Trondheim Dog-Featival", held the last weekend of August. The pyrs are attending two shows here. Judges are Elke Pepper from Germany, and Maurice Baker from South Africa.

The Dog-Festival was in the sign of Martin - again. At Saturday he became BOB and BOG! Sunday he went out with BOB, BOG and BIS-2! The very same day Gaus became 5-BIS of the Veterans, and Cubilon's Breedinggroup recieved 3-BIS!! What a weekend!

Next weekend Martin attended his 3rd Show in 8 days, and  gained his 3 x BOB and 3 x BOG!! Plus the 2 x BIS-2!!! WOW! For more details from the show-ring, see under RESULTS.

The week after, Bodil was mated with Martin. I'm really holding my thumbs; -let there be puppies this time!!!!

It wouldn't succeed this time either. No puppies.

But now I'm back from Italy! And some FANTASTIC days with Elena & Angelo, Patrizia & Ferruccio, taking me around to see pyrs! Their hospitality was marvellous! So was the food, wine, and not to forget; -the dogs! How can I ever reciprocate all this?! But let's hope that the "outcome" will be the same quality! For the first time ever, I have puppies on my list of wants for Christmas...

 ANGELO AND MONURSITA (PHILOURS MUM)

Here it's obvious that Helga is pregnant!!! So far, so good!

The Norwegian Winner-show isn't much to talk about. Martin was placed third of the champions, without any CK, and Gaus got a first in quality and first veteran without HP or CK eigther!! And when the car broke down when we started the way home...

Well, let's talk about something much more fun! Cubilon did very well on the Most-Winning-Pyr-lists this year! The kennel became first best Breeder!!! Amongst the males, Martin is third, Gaus sixth and Iommi seventh!!! On the female listing, Bodil and Helga shared the fifth place, and on the veteran-list Bodil is third and Gaus forth!!! Great!!!

Last weekend we took home our latest member of the gang; SAY HELLO TO OZZY!!!

Isn't he nice?

He is in a phase of habituating, it wasn't a absolutely success when he said hello to the old cat here.... Ozzy didn't have a problem with that, but the older one has defintely! So in a few days we will start "The Big Test"; to say hello to the dogs....
