Breed Notes 22nd November 2019 Margaret Deuchar
NORWEGIAN BUHUNDS There are very few things that you can’t do with your Buhund, but perhaps one of the most rewarding is when they become Therapy Dogs. We now have two that I know of that have recently become Therapy Dogs, one is Penny and Tom Glibbery’s Rikarlo Grant(Indy) and the other is Lillian and […]

NORWEGIAN BUHUNDS Recently Bill Mcbain lost this battle with cancer; many years ago he successfully bred and showed Buhunds under the Willmac affix. The kennel was located in Aberdeen so the dogs were only lightly shown. I always think it is sad when people who were known in the breed many years ago pass, as […]

Breed Notes 27th September 2019 Margaret Deuchar
NORWEGIAN BUHUNDS No Ch show to report, because as I said in my notes last week our set of CCs at Darlington came from Driffield, so without CCs they did not schedule the breed. On Wednesday last week I attended the Kennel Club Annual Breed Health Symposium, which was held at the Kennel Club building […]

NORWEGIAN BUHUNDS When I first started showing Darlington Ch show was held in a park in the middle of Darlington. Even when there was the petrol crisis in 2000, the show went on and the late Elisabeth Coleopy and I managed to get there by car sharing. Unfortunately, security caused a real problem, and the […]

NORWEGIAN BUHUNDS Pastoral Day at Welsh Kennel Club show is always the Saturday, meaning that those that decide to go the day before and stay over, nearly always have the difficult driving conditions that are associated with travelling on a Friday.

Breed Notes 16th August 2019 Margaret Deuchar
NORWEGIAN BUHUNDS Not quite sure where to start about last weekend. I know some people were not happy that various events were cancelled, in some cases many days in advance, like the music festival, but most were hobbies and our thoughts go to the people who had their houses/business flooded, and in some cases also […]

NORWEGIAN BUHUNDS If you read this Blog regularly you will know that I love to hear from owners who do something different with their dogs, and even sometimes without their dogs.
