September 2015 - Geilo 11 years old

6th September 2015 - Today we celebrate Geilo's 11th birthday. He has been the most wonderful dog that you could wish for, Because of the quarantine laws at the time, he didn't come to us until he was 10 months old. Over the 10 years that he has been with us, he has travelled all over Europe with us to European Dog Shows and always going on holiday with us. This year we have decided to leave him at home when we got to Italy & Switzerland, as we think that all the travelling, especially if it is hot, will be too much for him. He has produced some wonderful dogs for us and lots of other people who have his sons, daughters, grandsons and granddaughters. Over the bank holiday weekend we took him with us to a couple of carting events, not that he still pulls carts, although we are sure if we asked him to he would do it, where we met a lot of his relatives. We will be adding loads of pictures to this month in celebration of his 11 wonderful years with us, over the course of the month. Soo if you have any recent photographs of any of his offspring please email them to us and we will add to this page.

He has always enjoyed the snow. When we sent to see him in Norway at 6 months old, we took him for a walk and took some pictures of him and we let him off. He high tailed it back to the farm and when we got back he was lying on the balcony waiting for us!!
