NORWEGIAN BUHUNDS Midland Counties Ch show has scheduled Buhunds without CCs since 2006; I was the first person to judge them and had an entry of 16. It has however been rather a roller coaster of a ride, as to start it was always the same week or weekend as our club Ch show. Midland […]

NORWEGIAN BUHUNDS Discover Dogs started in a very small way a number of years ago at Crufts. It had been found that many people went to Crufts to see a particular breed, only to find they were not there that day. It was therefore thought to be a good idea to have every breed on […]
