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 […]

Breed Notes 5th March 2021 Margaret Deuchar
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 26th February 2021 Margaret Deuchar
NORWEGIAN BUHUNDS This week I sadly write about the passing of another club member and breeder of Buhunds in the eighties, Evan Stone. I did not know Evan as I only came into the Breed in 1992. Recently though I saw a post on Sue Bowe’s FB page saying he had died. I contacted Sue […]
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 […]

Breed Notes 5th February 2021 Margaret Deuchar
NORWEGIAN BUHUNDS In my notes of 14th September 2020, I wrote that sadly Carolyn Solomon had said goodbye to Tegan (Trelowen Keres) she was 14yrs and 8months.

Breed Notes 29th January 2021 Margaret Deuchar
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 […]
Breed Notes 22nd January 2021 Margaret Deuchar
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 […]
Breed Notes 15th January 2021 Margaret Deuchar
NORWEGIAN BUHUNDS You will have appreciated that my notes last week were written before we went into our third lockdown, this is in England as I know those of you in the devolved nations have had different rules for some time, particularly in Wales. The sentiments are still the same though, stay safe and look […]
Breed Notes 8th January 2021 Margaret Deuchar
NORWEGIAN BUHUNDS Well, here we are at the end of the first week of the New Year, and with the Oxford-Astra Zeneca the second vaccine being approved, I think we all hoped that by the anniversary of the pandemic being declared in March 20, things would be beginning to improve. However, with this new variant […]
Breed Notes 1st January 2021 Margaret Deuchar
NORWEGIAN BUHUNDS Well, it is finally here the end of 2020, a year that will certainly go down in the history books for all the wrong reasons. This time last year we were welcoming in 2020 with parties and watching the firework display on the Thames, from the comfort of the living room in our […]

NORWEGIAN BUHUNDS Firstly, I start by wishing you all a Happy and Safe Christmas, it will be a Christmas like no other, but I do hope that you will be able to safely see some friends and family. I am sure no one had face masks or hand sanitizer on last year’s Christmas list and […]

Breed Notes 11th December 2020 Margaret Deuchar
NORWEGIAN BUHUNDS I know I am not the only who did some sorting out during the first lockdown, when I went back to work I stopped sorting, but recently I have been looking through some of the articles on Buhunds that I had found during those first lockdown weeks. One of them was an article […]

Breed Notes Margaret Deuchar 13th November 2020
NORWEGIAN BUHUNDS On Thursday morning 5th Nov many in the Dog World were shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of Robert Greaves after a short illness, from which it was originally thought he would make a full recovery, sadly that was not to be. Some of you will have counted Robert among your […]
Breed Notes 6th November 2020 Margaret Deuchar
NORWEGIAN BUHUNDS DNA is a fantastic tool in testing for the likelihood that an animal might suffer from a certain disease in the future. It does of course have many other uses, one of which is dating things. I was recently reading a paper on dog DNA. It says that the domestication of the dog […]
Breed Notes 30th October 2020 Margaret Deuchar
NORWEGIAN BUHUNDS I cannot believe that we are at the end of another month. Despite it being such a difficult year the months seem galloping by, probably in some way just as well as hopefully it means that we are nearer having a treatment or vaccine for Covid. Last weekend should have been our Ch […]
