We have had a crazy few weeks with trips out of Sweden and then me subsequently getting sick. So now I’m nearly back to normal and have enough energy to properly introduce our new pack members.

We are pleased to welcome 2 new additions to the kennel.

Cadis Falka vom Eisenstein

First off is Falka. When speaking to my good friend Joana one day, she wrote “I have an idea, maybe it is stupid or genius, I don’t know😆.” A while earlier I had just casually mentioned that I really liked her male Wildschütz and if he happened to have puppies someday I would be interested to know. Well, Willy didn’t have puppies on the way, but Joana had a female that would maybe need a new home…

It was a bit of a crazy idea. I wasn’t necessarily in the market for a new female, nor an adult female, but Joana knows the lines I like and presented me Falka… a puppy that I was on the waiting list for nearly 4 years ago. As fate would have it, Zoe (Brianna Brava vom Eisenstein) suddenly became available after a last minute cancellation and the lines were nothing that I had. Thus, I changed my decision and brought home Zoe in 2022. However, we did see a whole litter for adorable brown and wild boar puppies while visiting Germany in February 2022.

Little Falka

Falka’s mother Ulli (Nonplusultra vom Eisenstein) and I go way back. In 2017, while picking up Liina from her hunting adventures with Joana and Dirk in Germany, Joana convinced me that our last adventure should be showing at the VDH-Europasieger. Trusting Joana, I said sure and off she, Liina, Ulli and I were to Dortmund.

After Liina and I amazingly won the BOB, which is still my absolute favorite win to this day, Joana got called away to Dachshund Club duties and asked if I would show Ulli.

“She is kind, but likes to go fast.” That’s what I remember before nearly sprinting around the ring with Ulli. We didn’t get the best rating (only Very good), but Ulli was so kind and spent our time outside the ring smothering me in kisses. It’s something I love about Joana and Dirk’s dogs… you can watch them bolt a fox from the hole with skill and ferociousness, but they will just as willingly jump to your lap to cuddle.

Nonplusultra vom Eisenstein

So, while Joana’s idea was a bit crazy, it was just up my alley. Falka had a litter of puppies earlier in 2025 with Jamiroquai vom Eisenstein (who was father to my A litter) and they were gorgeous. So my mind started thinking about potential crosses and activities we could do with her. After about 2 weeks of thinking, debating, pro/con lists and John’s blessing, I told Joana we would love to bring Falka home.

Falka and her puppies

Falka is an accomplished hunting dog in her own rights: the has passed gun steadiness, spurlaut, blood tracking (20 hrs), underground fox tests in artificial and practical hunting in Germany and Hungary. Additionally, she did well in the show ring as well, earning CACs in Germany and Hungary and even BOB.

So far, she is fitting in well with our pack. She is a very loving dog (like her mother) and wants to be close to you whenever she can.

Due to a hunting incident, she had to have a partial tail amputation. Thus, we won’t be showing in Sweden, however, we plan to track, do underground training and get her situated in our home. Hopefully in the future we will also be able to incorporate her into our breeding program.

Welcom Falka! We look forward to having you with us!
