Sophie at Exterior Bedömning

2025.08.30-Today was sister Sophie’s day to be “Very Good.”🥈Sophie has been sitting home and working on her hunting skills while her siblings were in the show ring. Today she and I went to an exterior bedömning hosted by the Halland Kennel club. Sophie had happy feet on the damp grass, but overall did well and got a very nice critique. ☺️ We will spend a bit of time in the coming week preparing for more grass walking instead of jogging, and hopefully get excellent next time around.💖

Female with good proportions, strong head, could have been a little nobler, good shoulders, neck and back in standing, a little loose, moving, well-developed body, deep chest, could have a little more ground clearance, good bone structure, good legs & hindquarters, good step, good fur quality.

Moniker Admiral in Backamo

2025.08.24- Backamo Dog show, 🇸🇪 Lasse (Moniker Admiral) made his show debut in Open class. He was a bit more interested in smelling all the scents than showing (what to expect from a hunting dog😅🤭), but he behaved well and got Very Good 🥈with a very nice critique! For a dog that never set foot in a show ring, I’m very pleased.💚
Now hunting season is around the corner and we will aim to get him a merit and try our luck in the ring again in hunting class next year.

Thank you to owner Anders for joining at the show today.
