2000
The year of 2000 was thrilling in more than one way.
A new century, new puppies born and a lot of new dog friends all over the world. A big part in finding these new contacts with other breeders is of course our new homepage, which was released in April the 20th. Many, many people have visit our website and it is amazing how many we thanks to that, now have a regular contact with. It is really nice to know all new breeders and take part of their ideas.
Our gratitude to our web designer Ms Soile Siirtola will never end. Sometimes we wonder how she manages to do it all and in just the way we like it to be. We have during this year learned to know each other more than well and that you can easy reappear in the website. Thank you Soile!

<< Last years most joyful award is to have been bred the
SWEDISH BEST MINIATURESCHNAUZER ALL COLOURS
S UCH & N UCH Fixus Something Special, proud owner is Mr Hans Segerström Norsborg.
Pluto as he is called is indeed something special. With a terrific coat, colour and attitude he has proven himself to be a real showman in the ring. He is not showed so many times but have still got points that made him NR 1 Swedish bred MINI of the year all colours. His owner, Hans, does the entire trimming himself while Jannica is finishing him up and also handling him towards his wins. Together they all make a great team!

Again he did a few tremendous results when visiting only five shows, and for the third time won the group in "the Big Stockholm" ended up as Best In Show-4. What we didn't know in August was that Uffe had Borelia.
A rather evil disease caused by a little tick. Not always easy do discover at least not on a Miniatureschnauzer who always keep up with the things he is doing. Now we are hopeful about his full recovering though we know it will take some time before he is himself again.

The Swedish Miniatureschnauzer Cup is a very honouring and estimable specialty held every year in May gathering more than 100 entries at the same day. This year Mr Hans Van De Berg from the Netherlands where invited to judge. Late in the afternoon, all dogs in all colours, which have received an honours price are lining up for the
Best In Show final!

This is the third time Uffe goes straight to the top. It is also a terrific result for all the other blacks who we are very proud over. To end up with four individuals in a Best In Show final are quite a special feeling. Then we had several others dogs who stood out in their classes as well. Congratulations and thank you all very much!

The success and joy for our kennel and us are, as you all know, dependent and involved with all the owners of dogs being sold.
Thank you all for the year 2000.
