At the show in Ronneby very few SV:s entered - just seven dogs :(
 
At first I had no intention of entering but after the success at Tånga Hed and with Ronneby rather close to my home so I decided to enter just for fun and to find out 
what the next judge felt about him.
Even so you have to reach ck-quality to "make use of" few competitors. And HD got BOB, CAC and CACIB! After all he may be better than I think as I don't think
he is that extraordinary ...

Competing with 19 other dogs HD placed himself first in the open class! Of course I think he is a beauty but I did not expect such a fantastic result. I was almost in chock ;-)
 
He seemed as eager as a horse before a race ... 
 ... but this was not about speed but beauty.  And he had that.
When he entered together with the other qualified for the best male final he was fourth and won a certificate!

A gorgeous dog that always wants to be close to mistress but who also always has some fun in his mind too. He plays with everything and everybody and he
is the only one of my dogs who plays alone with a toy. He prefers mistress to be with him, but it is not necessary. The other dogs will only play with toys if they can play
together three or four dogs at a time :-)
A proper cuddly dog with a lot of energy - that is HD.
       
 
 
HD is the first-born male in the MC-litter and his first months is presented together with his siblings on the page of the litter. There was not in my mind that any of the pups
from this litter was to stay with me. But I had not calculated with HD. He decided to stay. He worked hard to get on with Ville as he realized that he was the alpha male. He
made it perfectly clear that he was to follow me. But he would have been sold anyway if he had not resorted to cunning.
 
One day when I was out with all the little ones he stepped into the water bowl with both his front paws and stood lookin gfor a while. Then he stepped back, looked, stepped
in with one paw, looked and stepped back. Then he put his nose into the water and blew bubbles! That made ujp my mind - I could not allow a dog like that to leave me.

Today we went to a pup show in Hässleholm and HD behaved better than I expected. It was great that he was best in his group but there were just two of them (and the judge
didn't notice that HD still is missing a couple of teeth - I hope they will come but you never know). So I can't take it seriously - it is just for fun.
 
 
 
 
 
We hadn't worked on how to stand on a table and that showed! 
 Outch was the impression of HD.
 
 
 
But to stand still and nicely went above expectation :-)
      Maybe there is some goodies.
 
 
 Best was to move around! 
 
 Well, best of all was to sit om mummy's lap - he is quite a mummy's boy!
 
 
 
 
His big sister Maisey was there as well and her class was also two dogs.
 
.
 
 Her efficient handler, Carla, made her be at her best   
 
 
 so she was the proud winner of BOB!
 
 
 
AND we made a new nice acquaintance - Donna (from Skogsrikets kennel). 
She lives not too far from us and we hope to see her (and her owners) at the next Vallhund day!

Today HD was at the vet's. He had milk teeth that wouldn't go away in spite of the permanent ones had come. Well one of them went a couple of days ago, but they had to
take the other one out so the permanent tooth could get into the right place. He did not enjoy this. But his sister Maizey is going on Thursday, we wonder how many they have
to get out for her.

The pup class ended. HD has been a good pupil and now knows how to come and sit nicely at his mistress's side when she calls him, to walk close by her side and to sit down
when she stops. If there is too much excitement around he can forget, but then who don't?
