Maggie with
Hobbes

Hans

It was 9:00 PM, the night after Halloween. Almost all the kids in the neighborhood stood there in the dark, gasping with anticipation every time a car turned the corner onto our street. I couldn’t wait until one of those cars was my mom’s, bringing home our adorable little puppy, named Hobbes.

Jamie and Lexie

Jamie and Lexie

I spent the previous summer working and saving for a puppy so I was able to use my earnings to buy a Farmdog from Carol, Lexie's breeder. I came up with half the money and my parents decided that I was responsible enough to care for a dog so they paid for the other half and we prepared to bring Lexie home. I kept a countdown of the days it would be until Lexie was old enough. I still remember the day we got to go to Carol's home and see Annika and five cute, little puppies.

Jera has been very dedicated to the training of Daphne. Even before he got Daphne, we talked about dog training. Jera and his Mother read books together about dog training. I.e. they read the book "Before and After Getting Your Puppy" by Ian Dunbar.

Kenlyn and Skoen

A teen making a Difference for Throw Away Pets

Kenlyn's deep love of animals inspired her to look for an opportunity to help discarded and abandon pets. After contacting several humane societies where she hoped she could volunteer and being refused because she is not yet 18 years old, Kenlyn and her mom, Susan, were introduced to the Friends of Silicon Valley Animal Control Authority (SVACA), a support organization for a local animal shelter.

First National Breed Specialty Show

The Danish/Swedish Farmdog first Specialty was held in conjunction with the American Rare Breed Association (ARBA) Rocky Mountain Classic September 2nd and 3rd, 2006.  The location of the show was at the Boulder County Fairgrounds in Longmont Colorado.

This was a wonderful show, and we all learned a lot. Lars Adeheimer, our distinguished judge from Sweden, gave verbal critiques of all our dogs. He took a considerable amount of time educating us all on the Danish/Swedish Farmdog, both in the ring, and during the Saturday evening seminar. The individual dog critiques are located in the Members Only section of the site.

Lars was impressed by what he saw here, and he believes we have an excellent representative population of farmdogs in the US. Our “family” spirit within our group, and our enthusiasm for the breed impressed Lars immensely.

This was a most wonderful and valuable weekend for our Farmdog family.
