Friday November 12th
Casual meet and greet in the conference room just off the main Tennis court. We had a mini conformation training class to help those who were new to the ring. This a great way to start the weekend activities.
This
year we had a special treat for our Meet and Greet. Ramona
Audette from the California
Academy of Dog Behavior conducted a basic Nose Work
class. Pizza was brought in for a casual dinner after
the class.

The DSFCA Specialty Judge, Marianne Schlüter
Kennel My Bonnie
For those who have traveled to Denmark you will be able
to share with the rest of us what a wonderful person
and authority on the Farmdog Marianne is. Marianne
is doing this for us at a great hardship to herself,
she is deathly afraid of flying. To help her, Niels
her husband will accompany her.
We hope everyone will make a added effort to join us
at this show, her breeding expertise of the Farmdog is
more than 25 years in the making. You have
questions about breeding she will be the one to help. As
much as we all would have liked to shown off our
dogs to Ole Staunskaer, Marianne Schlüter is a real gift
to us.
Out-takes from Susan Mirbach's article: Summer Adventure in Denmark - Danish Swedish Farmdog Paradise...
At Marianne's, I found Pingo was a true gentleman…just like his son, though quite a bit smaller. In dog speak, Pingo conveyed his greetings to his other offspring with Annika (Skoen's siblings): Lexie, Disa and Frisco.
Marianne's other DSFs were fantastic too. Marianne's DSF family includes: My Bonnie (M.B.) Indyana Jones, M.B. Bikini Badenymfe, M.B. Bodille Babysitter, M.B. Forsøde Fine Freja, M.B. Calorius, Alfred, M.B. Burgerking Medium, M.B. Oh Mein Papa = Pingo, Orestadens Yndige Zora, Kitenga Ello Exxon, Sputnik's Frida, M.B. Gibbernakker og Krubbes Mirakulix, M.B. Duksedreng i Drejlsklæder. Plus Thor, a pointer.
And it's not just dogs; Marianne and Niels have a very fertile farm. Along with Pingo, I met their pregnant mare, baby ducks, kittens, and more.
We were all very happy to have Marianne Schlüter join us this year!
