Last summer we found this beautiful children’s playhouse on a Danish campsite on Læsø.

We wish all of our friends joyful and FlatasticContinue reading “Flatastic Holidays”

The two Trophy’s of the flatcoated retriever clubs are now completed. It was our debut in these flatcoated retriever finals with 4X triple retrieves and not an easy task to participate in whilst Rumi being in heat and just out of heat. It cost us a couple of brain farts and she was a bitContinue reading “Mrs Goodlooking”

In the beginning of the year I made a list of goals in order to have a clear vision of what we are putting our efforts into. One of the goals concerned gundog competition work. I had hoped for a second SJP A for Rumi and at least a SJP B for the youngsters. YesterdayContinue reading “2022 personal gundog goals achieved”
