When passion becomes a lifestyle, miracles happen. Living your dream is really living. To be lucky enough, and be able to do that; indescribable.Thank you, Kai.
There will always be plans, and more dreams to chase. Time and ambitions will tell, if they come true...

Later, Bamse was placed third in the group (3.BOG) for judge Kornelija Butrimova (Lithuania).
At our neighbour island, Stord. Local club arranged national show. But the judges came from abroad, which ment objective judging.
First day, judged Helin Tenson (Finland). Her own motto is:
"When judging dogs you must not be swayed by any consideration, except by the relative merit of the dogs in front of you. Forget the handlers, and forget what the dogs have won previously. Place the dogs as you think they should stand, never mind if the winner belongs to your best friend or your worst enemy."
Her results were:
BOB:
N CH SE CH
BOS:
NOJr CH OSLJW-26 NJW-26
Judging, as it should be.
This year we decided to visit Poland. My home country, and have a real vacation in Kashub area. We spent a very nice two weeks near many lakes. River kayaking, bathing, sightseeing and relaxing. With excellent food (CAKES!) and dining.
Of course, we had to show our beauties also. Both Bamse and Tessa got a lot of attention, wherever they showed their noses. And for good reasons (of course!).

What a fabulous vacation to remember!
It has been quite a while, since our last time at Skokloster Show. When Fujarka Stepowy Goniec turned two years, back in 2018. She showed in open class for Bellatrix Marki-Casanova, SE. With excellent, CK and second placement in the class. Out of 10. So that was quite an accomplishment in a tough competition.
This years, it was her son´s turn.

Swedish champion, at last...
Finally they are here - long planned, and awaited litter of six. Two males and four females, saw the light of day on March 6th.
Their weight was around 500 grams at birth, and they have already doubled it, during their first week of life.
Mum and pups are doing excellent, and
Some of them will stay in their home country, while others will move abroad.
We are looking forward to the future,
and what it will bring.
The year has just begun, and it looks like it will be quite a busy year this year.
In the meantime, we are waiting for the second generation of Bodarovs with excitement and joy.
We are crossing our fingers and toes -
for a little longer...
The rush was over during the first week of January. The inseminations went well according to the conditions, and now it is "just" to be patient for another 8 weeks... And hopefully the second "stage". We cross our fingers and toes... and wait.
We cross our fingers, and toes...
and wait.
This years Crufts dog show, attracted over
22.000 hopeful attendants, with their owners.
From all over the world, although majority of whom, came from Europe.
Multi. CH. Bodarov Ballada is the second breed representative from our kennel, who qualified to attend Crufts.
N UCH Bodarov Ambassador, being the first, who did so already in 2021.
At Crufts`24 Ballada was competed from the open class. She got placed first, amongst 10 other bitches. Then she had to compete against the winners from the other four classes. When the judge placed her again, as first in a row, I was speachless. This was her best bitch of the day - and the best of the opposite sex. As it later turned out.
Multi. CH. Borscana Impressive, was chosen as the best dog, and Ballada´s competitor. A great representative, swedish male - that despite his young age, has had a comet career. And came to compete at one of the biggest dog shows, all the way from Japan.
Congratulations to the owner,
and the breeders with his win!
The Borzoi breed, was judged by the acknowledged breed specialist

Dogs that qualified in their respective countries, to show at Crufts´24 - during the last year. This is this year's dog gala.
To participate is a dream for many.
To win, no matter what, with your own bred dog - is absolutely indescribable. And a dream come true!
And not least - create breed history.
With becoming Norway's first and only Borzoi, to get so high on the podium at Crufts.
