Our little swarm of puppies are three weeks today, they have opened their eyes, ears, getting sharp teeth and climbing out of the box already since a week ago. Ray is a fantastic mother. This will be Snaiper’s S-litter, the girls will be named Sol (sun), Summit, Scarlet, Sky and Supernova, the males Stark (strong), Storm, Seger (victory), Skall (bark), Smoke and Sårk (boy in Gotlandic).
They are finally here! Every time it’s equally exciting and terrifying to wait for the puppies to arrive. We were blessed with a nice litter of 11 puppies – 6 males and 5 females, all strong and healthy. Ray is an amazing mother. We are happy and thankful for the great interest shown towards this litter. We are still in the process in deciding the pups future homes and hope that you have a bit more patience with us.
It’s time to train for the coming hunting season – retrieving, tracking, search for lost game, water retrieve etc. Evert shows how it’s done – very nice presentation of the game!
We are excited to announce that we are expecting puppies in the middle of June! The mother of the coming litter is our pocket rocket from US Field trial lines – Ray http://snaiperdogs.com/sv/hundarna/ray-of-light/. The sire of this litter is Northern Arrow’s Marvelous Martin aka Mack. Mack is a son of our legendary Snaiper’s Luke http://snaiperdogs.com/sv/hundarna/snaipers-luke/ – Mack is a very promising young dog with exciting pedigree – 5 generations European working champions combined with American and UK field trial lines in his pedigree. We are expecting puppies with great drive, stabile and nice temperament and correct exterior from this combination. You are welcome to contact us if you are interested in a new hunting buddy and/or FT.
SeVCH SeJCH SeUCH J Snaiper’s Thelma.(Luke x Iris) became Swedish triple champion today (Field Trials, Blood tracking and Beauty) finishing her blood tracking test with 1st prize and honorary points. Proud of my crazy, stubborn girl!
Evert (Ottercreek & Southpaw Jack of All Birds) did a good job on blood tracking test this weekend and got well deserved 1st prize in open class. Well done guys!
There is a new kid on the block – meet Mack, Northern Arrow’s Marvelous Martin (Luke x Khaos). He has recently moved from Finland to join our Snaiper team in Sweden. He is going to keep us busy with training and catching up. Passed character test and blood tracking ability test this weekend. Happy and energetic young male, very nice temperament and excellent nose, learning fast. I’m very excited!
Myra (Northern Arrow’s Mackmyra) is not only talented in the field trials, she has proven to be a good tracker as well and was awarded with the 1st prize on overnight blood track in open class. Well done!
This is the face of a new Swedish Bloodtracking Champion, SeVCH J Southpaw & OtterCreek Ray of Light. It was a warm day and very dry conditions, some disturbance from fresh wildboar tracks and a capercaillie lifting from the area, Ray stayed focused and completed the overnight track like a pro – completing her series of 1st prize tracks to become champion. Well done!
12 amazing training days with some of our youngsters on wild partridge, quail and snipe in wonderful Croatia. This is how life should always be – watching young bird dogs develop their hunting skills on wild birds in their natural habitat, eating nice food with good friends and enjoying life. Myra, Evert and Mack did good, making use of the wind, the terrain and many opprotunities to find birds.
