NORWEGIAN BUHUNDS On the 30th of March Ch /Ir Ch Arnscroft Kimura (Kato)crossed the Rainbow bridge now only 4 weeks later his sister Arnscroft Di Sing On Ice (Tusk) has crossed the bridge to join him.

Breed Notes 7th May 2020 Margaret Deuchar
NORWEGIAN BUHUNDS Like so many people over the 3 lockdowns I have sorted out cupboards and drawers and have found things I had not looked at, in some cases for many years! A number of these were articles from various canine magazines and dog papers written about Elkhounds and Buhunds. When I was thinking about […]

NORWEGIAN BUHUNDS It is many months since I have been able to write about a face-to-face canine activity, and while it has been absolutely fantastic to be able to take part in various online activities whether it be shows, obreedience or other activities that have been run by dedicated organisers and also to have zoom […]

NORWEGIAN BUHUNDS This year has seen the passing of some lovely Buhunds adored by their owners and who have also left their mark on the breed in various ways. I am also very touched to have had the honour of having the obituaries for these dogs in these breed notes. This week the obituary is […]
Breed Notes 9th April 2021 Margaret Deuchar
NORWEGIAN BUHUNDS You will have read or heard I am sure that Windsor Ch show has now also been cancelled as they had problems securing the infrastructure they needed. It should have been the first show this year with CCs for the breed. I was sad as not only is it my favourite show as […]
Breed Notes 2nd April 2021 Margaret Deuchar
NORWEGIAN BUHUNDS I must start by thanking all of you who sent flowers, cards and messages when Debbie and I had to say goodbye to Fizz. As I have said so many times all dogs are special to their owners, but to know how many of you had lovely memories of Fizz meant so much […]

NORWEGIAN BUHUNDS Over the years I have written about many dogs that have passed on, they have all been special to their owners and many have also made their presence felt in other ways. I am finding these notes extremely hard to write as they are about my and Debbie’s Fizz aka Ch/Bel Ch Tonylynn’s […]
Breed Notes 12th March 2021 Margaret Deuchar
NORWEGIAN BUHUNDS It had been hoped that Windsor Ch show would be the first show this year with CCs for the breed, but I am sure many of you will have seen that the Royal Windsor Horse Show has moved to the same days, and the horse show has preference. The Horse show does not […]

NORWEGIAN BUHUND Every day we read about dogs being stolen, at least now the police seem to be taken it more seriously, although there still more needs to be done to it a more serious offence. There is a Petition out there at the moment saying that ‘Pet Theft should be a Specific Crime in […]

Breed Notes 19th February 2021 Margaret Deuchar
Our pets whatever type never stay with us long enough, some have quite short lives but with our dogs we do hope they will live into their teens. Sadly, this is not always the case all too often they go far too early and whenever they leave us, they always leave a big hole in […]

NORWEGIAN BUHUNDS Well, here we are the last weekend in January, we had hoped a few weeks ago that things would be getting betting better by now, but that light we were all looking for seems to be rather dim and at the end of a long dark tunnel. There are positive things though that […]

NORWEGIAN BUHUNDS Well, here we are over halfway through January and the evenings are beginning to stay light longer, especially if on the rare occasion it is a sunny day, but it always seems to take longer in the mornings for there to be a difference, although our daughter who lives in the New Forest […]
