This group was shown in Leonbergerclub show in Motala. This time we won as BEST BREEDER. It is harder to win this competition with several combinations, so thats way this class is extra fun to win.

BIS-R VETERAN MYDOG-2011

Angels

Every year I tell you about dogs that left us and moved in to an other world. This year is no different, except that several of this dogs has effected my life in many ways. I hold them all in my hand as new born I have seen them grow and some of them had puppies and finally have I followed few of them to the rainbow.

My belowed "Precious" Donna les Preuses is one of them, she is not with us any more. Precious was second generation Knockando's and my first multichampion. We traveled a lot and became really close to each other, she was a curious girl and she put her nose in everything. I believe she was the one who put Knockando's on the map in the Leonbergerworld. She wont be back but she has left some paw marks, she was not just Multichampion, three years in a row was she in top of the Most winning females. She had one litter that almost killed her. We keept a daughter from this litter, but she has also left us, way too early. 

 

Knockando's Precious Paarl was much like her mother a happy girl who loved to live for joy and candy

She had CAC from Leonberg in Germany there she won her class, and one CAC from Norway when she became BOS once. 

Precious	Paarl

 This lovely girl  Knockando's Kärlek till Montalcino "Monsy"

 she died suddenly in her home. She was the mother of our R-litter and T-litter. We are sending our thoughts to Git and Lennart who owned her and thanks them for giving us the opportunity to have these  lovely puppies.

An other Female who also meant a lot is Knockando's Imola Original "Wilma" she was the mother to our O-litter she became 10 years old but the lost is not less. Thanks to Nettan and Janne Hartlin for giving us the possibillity to have our  O-litter.

I know there are several out there who this year  lost a friend. The memory you get is precious and it's importent to keep them and care for them, it's is also importent to share them with othors to keep them alive.

I will now share a memory of a really good friend Jane Blom she has left us with a big feeling of emptiness in many ways. She was a warm person who didn't had anything than good to say to people. We shared joy and we shared tears, We didn't always agree in all matter but we respected each other. We find happines in each others good results and we shared the bad moments, when we had an argument and some got hurt we sad I'm sorry and moved on together. Miss you Jane, rest in peace.

 

 

So this is the end of the year so much has happend. Lots of sorrows but also a year with amassing results. Many of our dogs is in the Top on all kinds of Leonberger achievements. We got 4 new Champions 2 who has become International/ CIB, 1 Nordicchampion and success at WW-2011. For the third year in a row did a Knockando's Dog win the Copenhagen winner title.  Knockando's Lord Nelsons offsprings makes big success in the showring in countrys as Sweden, Norway, Lettland, Slovakia, Finland and Polen. We are of course very proud of them all and we hope they will have a succesful 2012. S-litter has been X-rayed with mixed results 5 have done the mentaltest. Knockando's Royal Toscana Exluxive has done a proved mentaltest next step is the X-ray. There has been dog in the show ring who hasn't been mention above as Knockado's Swedish Rheinsfalz who took his first CAC in Malmö he is number 31 on the list, Knockando's Winther in St Joseph who was reserv best male at Mydog as a junior, is number 28 on the list, it's always fun to see you all. I'm looking forward to hear from you about all kinds of activity thats going on, among you, I would love to write about it. I and my dogs have spendt some serious time in Denmark this year, with Lone and Peter a company I do appreciate, a lot. Thanks to all the Leonberger people in Denmark for hospitality, it has been lovely.

We also had one litter the parent are Riva and Quincy. We keept Princess Of Umbria and we have big hopes for her. In the pedegree is she the 4:th generation Knockando's on both sides. We have alos plans to mate Rossette with Quincy, she is a sibling to Riverina. We are so happy for the U-litter that we hope that Rossette will produce as nice puppies as Riverina.

I also wrote in the beginning that this was the year of episode, and it has been several sad things during the year. This has both  hurt and supriest this has also put things in a light that made me wounder what I'm doing and if I shall keep on doing it. I have been challanged and I have questioned, there has been issues with construction of the truth. There has also been people who has taken the oppertunity to justify them self and their misstakes or in other ways take advantage of the situation. There is people who made me sad and their is a possibillity that there are thoses who feels that they have been treaten unfair. My intension is to do right without hurting anybody including my self. It's importened that people aorund me feels comfortable, safe and welcome, it is also imported that this is somthing that goes both ways. I will put all this behind me now and move on.

Eva- Maria has been a faithful companion and it has been a true pleasure to have her around, thanks for beeing there for me. Emma who also have been driving dogs puting up tent, looking after puppies, thank you Emma. Thanks to all of you who helpt me handle dogs when needed Annika, Jessica, Elisabet, Christina, Kristina, Björn, Elise, Petra, I'm sorry if I forgett someone but in that case thanks to you too. Thank for photos that so many have been sharing on my dogs, I'm greateful. My lovely children Josefin and Jonatan who has been spending time in the puppie room, coulden't manage with out you. The future is to travel and show my dog abroad, a new litter and little more of trackingskills as soon as I can move normally again. My accident just before Christmas has put some obstacle in the way for a cople of month, but I'm recovering quit well.

With hope of a year 2012 with joy/ Thanks to all of you who gave me support during 2011 / Knockando's Ruth

We ends 2011 as we did 2010 :
