SUCH
SLCH LP Zentas Nesse

e Ch Eko u
Zentas Filippa
breeder: Åke Svensson Laholm
owner: Gunnar Smedberg, Hjo
Nesse was the
first Oldie to be presented on our front page. It happened to be in that way, because
there were a lot of pictures of him in my home. I owned him...
Nesse was the first double champion of the breed (show and obedience) in what then was
modern time...
He was and will always be my type of dog. |
Tussi

Tussi was mother of Ch Arvid, a famous dog in his time.
Arvids owner, Eva Jacobsson, has in 1999 got the highest breeder´s award of Sweden,
Hamiltonplaketten, for her breeding of Swedish Vallhund/västgötaspets. |

Eko is one of the
ancestors behind many of the show stars of today. Some people think that he
was used too much.
Maybe it´s correct - maybe not. Anyway he was an extremly good dog. |

Pelle
S13818/57
e Gullmarens Ockie u Rödagårdens Konny
Breeder: Arvid
Pålsson Östra Karup
Owner: Jens Olsen, Veinge
Jens son Lars sent
the picture and this tragic story:
"As you maybe know Pelle died early. He was lent out to serve as
a sire, and in the morning the farmer, who had borrowed him, found him hung
in the barn. Pelle was a trained obedience dog, who loved to jump, and his
lead and collar got stuck when he did. It´s almost 35 years since
it happened, but I do remember it very clearly." |

Risto was one of the
most important stud dogs in modern time with lots of good litters left
behind. His father, Ch Eko, was one of the webmaster´s favourites during
all times, and Risto took care of the heritage.

Jampen
He wasn´t one
of the show stars, neither did you see him in the obedience field. And
as far as we know he didn´t sire any litters, but on the other hand,
you can never be sure...
He is here in
this Gallery to represent all them, who only were there, fullfilling
their task as Swedish Vallhunds of the world. |
