Thasion has become the most winning Thai Ridgeback in Norway 2014! This Diploma was sent to us by post from the Norwegian Kennel Club.

We have had a successfull mating between Storma (Working Mates Action My Attraction) and Cody (Wallaroo Revolverhead)! 3 perfect matings in 3 days! 

Cody was even more good looking IRL and Storma felt the same way! ;) 

We keep our fingers crossed for puppies in the middle of febuary! :)

Thank you Steffi & Roger for youre hospitality!!! I promise to work on my German!! :)

First day of HUND 14 (Swedens Biggest Show) and I judged the Swedish Championship in K9 Freestyle. 

The second day I had entered 4 dogs 
Mania - Cattle Dog
Thaison - Thai Ridgeback
Hugo & Kit - Prazsky Krysarik

Mania was first out and became 2:nd best bitch.

Then it was time for the "Rats"... ;) Hugo became Best Champion Male and then also Best male. At the very end he became BOS and got the title Swedish Winner -14!

Kit (10 months) became best Junior and got the title Swedish Junior winner -14! And placed as 3:rd best bitch.

Last but not least we had Thaison. He took it all and became BOB with the title Swedish Winner -14! 
But we didn´t stop there...
Thaison also got placed as BIG 2 in the group finals!! :D

A very nice weekend with great friends, puppy buyers, competitiors and a lot of great dogs! ♥ 

This weekend we spent in Helsinki Finland at the Finnish winner show. 

Kit became 2.nd best Junior. Not happy at all about that... :/

And Thaison became best male and BOS with the title Finnish winner -14! with CAC & CACIB! Showed by Maria Weinehall.

Nacho - Working Mates Catch Me If You Can has competed in Rally Obedience for the first time and got 76p the first round and 98p on the second. 
 

Congrats and great work Nacho & Erika Andersson!

Today Storma got the title KORAD which means that when she get´s a nother CAC at a dog show she will become Swedish show Champion! 

Big Congrats to Anna Stridh and Storma!!

This weekend we spent in Norway- Lilleström INT. 
Kit became best Junior and got the Title Junior Nordic winner-14! And then 2.nd best bitch the same day she turned 9 months!

Thaison became both Norwegian & Nordic winner- 14 and BOB both days! He also got shortlisted in the group but unfortunately not placed. 

Today was the annual meeting of the search and rescue dog association, and diplomas were handed to those dogs, who have passed tests during 2014.
Trillian was the association's only dog to pass the final test in ruins i.e. "civilian protection". Due to this, Trillian (and Trillian's handler Kalle Thuulos) is reserved for next 2 years on crisis time civilian protection organization. In practice this means that if Finland would go into war, Kalles place would be in their home town, working with Trillian.

Congratulations again to Gabriella & Nixon!!

A huge congrats to Gabriella & Nixon (Working Mates Busy Being Brave) that today got CQ, CACIB & became BOB at MyDog INT. in Göteborg! MyDog is Sweden´s 2:nd biggest show of the year!

This year was really not at all as I had imagined and planned it ...
It started horribly... The 16:th of February Sydney died when she was hit by a car.
It took me several months before I even understod that she actually would never come back, it felt more like she was just away on holidays...
She was my everything and I think I've still not quite gotten over her death.
The strenght left me after that and the motivation to start to compete with Mania was not really there.

So instead I concentrated on the kennel. Even if we had some up and downs their aswell we got 3 beautiful litters!
Our first litter on Prazsky Krysarik, we got 2 great boys and after that I flew all the way to France with "Storma" (Working Mates Action My Attraction) and got some great matings with Woylie´s Freddy. This also gave me a nother chance to visit Paris. :)
And now our ACD D-litter just started to move into their new homes.

In the summer Rocky and I competed in Agility where we did really good! I´m also very greatful for our lovely puppies that have been competing and showing throughout the year! Working Mates has this year gained
one Patrol Dog for the Armed forces (WM Another Dewil)
one Search & Rescue Dog (WM Admire My Fire)
A Swedish show champion, Nordic show Champion, BOB at the German ACD speciality and also the show title Finnish winner-13 A few also passed obedience class 1, Rally obedience and tracking (apellen). Thank you for your hard work and we wish you all the best of luck in 2014!

Before the year was over, I also got the news that I have been elected to coach the National team in Freestyle & HTM. It is a huge honor and I'm really looking forward to this tough but incredibly rewarding task!

Thank You to all my friends, Family and Puppy buyers and I hope to see you all again in a even better 2014!
