We are happy to announce that 7 puppies- 4 males and 3 females- were born in Kennel Hägerängens! 2 red pups (1 male & 1 female) and 5 wildboar (3 males, 2 females) pups. Proud parents are MultiCH Barbwired Better than the Rest (Baxter) and SEUvCH SEVCH Hägerängens Signex (MultiCH Liebling’s Stormin’ Norman xSEUvCH SEVCH Hägerängens Blixtra).
As of now, both a few pups are still available to active homes.
First of all, we want to extend a HUGE congratulations to Freddie’s daughter Skogsvettens Troja, aka Trixie, who passed her Bloodtracking aptitude test (Godkänd Anlagstest Viltspår) and 9 months and 1 day. She went on to an impressive 1st prize in Open class blood tracking just this past week at not even 10 months old! Biggest congrats to Trixie’s owners and breeder!
Those of us here in Mölndal decided to go to Småland for the first time to attend a taxklub show in Skillingaryd. We didn’t win big, but had good results, despite the temperamental weather. Liina received 2nd best female and Baxter was Exc3 in Champion class under judge Cindy Pettersson (SE). It was a nice day to see old friends and I received some great photos from Majron of Jaktvallens kennel. 🙂
Aside from a wonderful trip and 2 great show results, we were excited to find out this weekend that Liina is the cover photo of the Deutscher Teckel Klub’s (German Dachshund Club) magazine this summer! Many thanks to Joana Krietsch (vom Eisenstein) for a photo that perfectly captures our princess.
We couldn’t be prouder of our little star who has been shown only 3 times this year and received 1xBOB & 2xBOS and 3xCACIB in 2 countries, earned the titles CIB, CIE and VDH-Europasieger, and also completed working tests in Germany: Sfk, Sp & BhFK/95.
Many thanks to all my mentors and friends for all their support along the way!
6 days and 3500 km through the length of Sweden. A very long road trip that ended with great results.
Barbwired Champagne “Liina” was awarded 2x BOS with CACIBs from breed judge Marina Kovalenko (RU) and Anne Sume (EE), both days with lovely critiques!
Additionally, Barbwired Better than the Rest was Ex and BM4 in Ch class under judge Kovalenko. The long trip was a bit hard on our boy and we decided not to show him on the second day, so he was our kennel cheerleader instead. 🙂
We were lucky to have sunny skies, beautiful summer weather and great traveling companions for our crazy trip. We really saw the beauty that Sweden has to offer including our first wild moose and midnight sun. What an experience!
The show queen ready for bed after the long weekend.

1750 km round trip in 48 hours… I must be crazy. That craziness paid off, though, and I am excited to report that Liina (Ch. Barbwired Champagne) won big in Dortmund.
At the VDH-Europasieger Exhibition, one of the biggest shows in Germany, Liina won:
Exc1, VDH-CAC, DTK-CAC, CACIB, BOB
from 25 entered miniature wires under judge A. Küppenbender (DE).
Additionally, these results fulfilled Liina’s CIB & CIE titles and qualified her for Cruft’s 2018.
We are tired, but what an adrenaline rush! Still over the moon about our win and so proud of my little girl!
With that her trip to Germany ends with amazing success: 3 passed hunting examinations (sfk, Sp, BhFK/95) and 3 new titles.
A great many thanks to my good friend Joana Krietsch for suggesting I join her at the show. It was beyond memorable, not only in kilometers driven. 🙂
Now we are all back in Sweden and ready to relax and enjoy the beautiful summer weather.

Liina had a lot of work to do on her birthday, but we are happy to report that the little girl did us proud and she can now add the title: BhFK/95 bestanden behind her name.
Congratulations little girl!
A big, big happy birthday to all our dogs! Funnily enough, they are all April babies.
Baxter was born on April 1st and turned 5 years old this year.
Freddie was born on April 20th and turned 7 years old.
Finally, our little dvärg Liina turned 3 years old on April 21st.
All of the dogs are lovely inside and out and I am blessed to have shared my life with each of them. I am looking forward to many, many more birthdays together.
A very happy Easter holiday from Liina, Baxter, and I!
