SUCH SLCH LP Zentas Nesse
S29862/81 KUP

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.

e Fjäregårdens Pelle u Nina
breeder: Evert Johansson, Markustorp
owner: Lilian Walldov och Vivan Ahlrot

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.

e Zentas Barro  u Ch Acka
Breeder and owner: Jens Olsen, Veinge

Ajo was a frequently used stud dog. I have got the pictures of Ajo and Pelle (below) from Ywonne och Lars Olsen, Laholm. Lars is son of breeder Jens Olsen.

S & DK Ch 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.
Breeder: Jens Olsen   Owner: Ewa Sundin
Here is one of the great show dogs from the seventies and eighties:

Such Nuch Nolgårdens Conrad

You can find Conrad in many pedigrees

Such INTuch Göta Petters Garmalda 
S62117/77KUP f 771107
e Garm u Ch Ricka
Breeder: Gunni Borong, Romakloster
Owner: Eva Jacobsson, Svartsjö

A bitch behind many of today´s winners

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.
