Long time, no updates.... shame on me, the so called webmaster! There are lots of news, let's see if we can see what's happened since august:

    


Ch Portinbo´s Lille Gunda & Ch Eugenios Apollon have been going BOB and BOS, generously sharing these placements between them. Both got CACIB at the last show in Norway in Kongsvinger! Gunda has finished her International Championship! It's not an easy title to get, and certainly not amongst this breed so we are extremely proud of her new title!

This pair is quite has quite different qualities, even if they keep on being paired up to go against each other for the BOB. Apollon is soundly constructed, with the most perfect straight back, long well set neck and a beautiful masculine head and generous angulations while Gunda has the bubbling personality, superb showmanship, very showy markings and lots of furnishings in a small but extremely energetic package.






Good old Dora has been racking up some points in the competition for the Italian Greyhound of the year. She's also gotten some very nice BIS placements in veterans along with oldie but goldie Neon, Multi Ch Haggai Sleep to Dream, both will make an appearance at the Veteran Gala at the Gala dinner at the show in Hamar. Be sure to cheer them on!











Ninni is in the lead for Norway's top Italian Greyhound and her sire is in the lead as stud of this year.














The newest Italian Greyhound litter by Laila and Joey have also been showing themselves in the ring with great results. Toshi was exported to Japan where he is a happy housedog living with 2 other IGs. Before he left he was entered to a show where he ended up as BOB puppy!
Thank you to Ingunn Solberg Ericson for this beautiful photo of Toshi.

5 puppies from this litter have been shown, all with BOB, BOS and there's even one with a group win at her very first show. They will turn 9. months in November so keep a lookout for them in the junior class at coming shows.
