21/4 - This weekend we have been at Norwegian Kennel Club's International Dog show in Harstad. Silver (NUCH Clandara Silver Starlight-NZ) was Best Of Breed with CACIB and Chari (Dein Hards Day By Day) got prize of Honour! Sissel, Chari og Troy have been visiting us for a couple of days and Chanel thought it was very nice to be seing her brother Troy again after being separated for two months and the two of them did their very best trying to turn our house upside down. The adults tried to hide to avoid the very rough puppy play, but several times they had to put up with quite a rough treatment from the two small ones...
"Do you want a little kiss, sister"
"Come here and play with me"
"What are you eating, Troy asks"

27/2 - Daily reports from Cleo and his family in Gjøvik tell us that he has become the master in his house, with lots of time for playing outside and he is also walking trips with "dad".

Good to hear that you are doing so fine down there in the south of Norway...

25/2 - Finally back home after a quite fatiguing trip from Mo I Rana to Gardermoen and back. That is 2000 kilometers in 3 days. 6 puppies were joining us in the car when driving south and we had expected a very noisy drive, but no - they behaved very well. 2 small accidents because we were not able to stop the car when the pups told us that it was time for a little pee-break outside! So we have to say that the trip of 1000 kilometers was easy. The pups slept a lot and when they didn't sleep the laid in the cages eating dried pig-ears. Hmmm that was good, they thought! We stopped for about every other hour, was putting up the puppy-yard and the little ones was alloud to run and play for a while until we had to continue driving. We spent the night in a cabin in Oppdal and the pups seemed to enjoy that. Some of these will be having such a life in their next years, driving to shows and spending nights in cabins probably...
Next morning we woke up feeling fine and we continued driving. We stopped in Gjøvik at Kari and Ola's place to deliver Cleo ("Arctic Kees A Bit O' My Heart") We got a fantastic dinner and spent a lot of time with them drinking coffee and chatting before we had to drive again. Thank you very much Kari and Ola. It was good after driving a long distance!
Late evening we arrived at gardermoen Motell Bed & Breakfast where we were going to spend the night. We were quite excited if the pups were going to keep all the hotell guests awake that night, but no - they behave well again. The fell asleep at 11.30 and stood nicely in their cages when we woke up next morning. First we were going to deliver Sonja ("Arctic Kees Ain't No Doubt") who was going to fly to her new family in Finland. She will be living with Jaana and two beautiful Kees-boys (INT & FIN & N & EST & DK & S CH NW-02, W-03, KBHW-03, WW-03 Foxteam Artemis and INT & FIN & S & EST & DK & N CH Foxteam Van Do)...Harald ("Arctic Kees Above The Law") was picked up by Hannele and her husband and will be living with a lot of wonderful Keeshonds in Finland at Greyscale kennel. In the middle of the day Barbara came all the way from Düsseldorf to Gardermoen airport to pick up her little kees-boy Anton ("Arctic Kees Affair V Alten Nierstal") and we spent several hours together at the airport chatting and drinking coffe before we had to go for delivering the last puppy: "Arctic Kees Another Level" who was sent with airplane from Gardermoen to Tromsø where he is going to live with Kirsti in Finnsnes.
Then we started driving home again with only little Chanel together with us. She slept and enjoyed herself all the way home together with Silver who was beside her now in his cage for her not to feel alone.We stopped at Oppdal again for a good night sleep and from there right to Troy ("Arctic Kees All The Man That I Need") and Chari in Beitstad to see if he had grown something during the days I hadn't seen him. What met me at the door was a little bigger ball of coat and the always precious Chari! Thank you very much Sissel, Mads, Tonje, Tuva and Mads Fredrik and 2 cats for giving those two a wonderful home...
Chanel ("Arctic Kees Addicted To Love") has already found her place togetehr with the rest of us at Arctic Kees and she shows us all the time that she belongs here. If mummy Aimee and daddy Rosso do agree all the time, I am not sure, because she does her best in terrorizing them all day! I think I have never seen such a patience before. Chanel loves to run and then jump on dad's head when he lays on the floor and then she bite his nose and he doesn't mind that at all. She also loves to lay on daddy's back for a nap and she almost disappear in all his coat...
Thanks to all of you for pictures and very good reports of the puppies
Nothing could make us more proud than that you are satisfied with your new little baby. Pages will be uploaded in a couple of days for all of them, where I will put new pictures as I have some from you...
Good luck to all of you from all of us at Kennel Arctic Kees!

18/2 - This weekend we have been to a dubbel show together with Sissel and Mads and 2 dogs. Together with us were Silver (Nuch Clandara Silver Starlight-NZ) and Chari (Dein Hards Day By Day) Chari is now 10 months old and she had her debute in the show ring this weekend. With a self-confidence and expression that everyone could envier her, she entered the hall in Fauske and she didn't seem to care about anything or anybody. I don't think that she would have moved her ears if the roof was falling down on her. I was quite excited to see how she would behave in the ring, since this was her first show and I was quite a stranger to her. I haven't seen her since she was 8 weeks old, but she did WELL!!! Saturday we entered the show in junior class to the Latvian judge Rita Kadike-Skadina. Chari was running like she never should be doing anything else than this and by gaining the CAC and BOS and a wonderful critique we were quite surprised as this result was not expected on such a young girl! Silver got CK and placed as runner up.
Then Sunday and a new show. This day the judge was Claudio De Giuliani from Italy. First the males, Silver was best male and then the bitches turn in the ring and Chari got the CAC today as well in competition with 3 other bitches. Chari placed as runner up and Silver was Best Of Breed! We are very very happy with this weekends show results!!!
Dein Hards Day By Day gains 2 CACS
in Fauske 16-17th of february only 10 months old
4/1 - Our precious puppies are now 6 weeks old and we are very satisfied with them. Well built, solid pups. They now leave their puppy yard a couple of times every day to explore the rest of the house. It's very funny to play with daddy Rosso and they love to pull his big and fuzzie tail. We have also started to train them in a cage. That will help them when they are leaving for their new homes in a couple of weeks...
Look how cute we are laying here on the kitchen floor!
We have got a picture of Chiva, Silver's daughter, playing out in the snow

19/1 - Amazing how fast the time goes when you are enjoying something! Our puppies are 4 weeks old tomorrow and they have now started to eat real food. They are growing fast and they seem to be enjoying life so far. Today they are going to move from our bedroom and into the livingroom. It will be exciting to see what they think about that. They are a really naughty gang who are looking up at you when you enter the room to look at them and then they all start to shout - "Please let us out of here"
"Do you know how to get out of this thing?"
We have got some pictures of Silver's children:
This is Fuzzie's Believe It Or Not - now 2 years old

12/12 - I usually don't do comments on other peoples website, but this time I am to schocked to let it be! I visited another Norwegian breeder's website today (not listed on the breedersite) and I was quite surprised by how incredible cruel and dishounest people can be. Last year we worked very hard to get our Rosso (INT NORD UCH KBHV-05 NV-05'06 Dein Hards Attention Please) to be the top keeshond in Norway! This breeder has announced on their website that they received this title for 2006!!! I wouldn't trust a breeder like that!

7/5 - We have the last months observed that some people from the Norwegian Keeshond milieu have done their best in trying to destroy our kennel and our breeding. It makes me sad to see what some people are capable of doing to others. We dont want anybody to doubt our intentions and we would like to inform you that:
What we know about our dogs and their lines, you will to - if you ask!
All our dogs are hip-scored
All our dogs are scored on elbows
All our dogs are Thyroid tested
All our dogs had their knees checked
We know that these are illnesses that exist on the breed and that they do test for these illnesses in a lot of the countries that breeders in Norway have their lines from. Arctic Kees would like to know what we breed to and that is why we are the only Norwegian kennel testing to more th
