Arctic Kees Keeshonden
News from 2011
Arctic Kees has had the most amazing year! Our dogs and the dogs we have bred have done very well in the show-rings worldwide!
2 dogs from the Aimee/Ferris litter born in 2009 have already managed to get their international Champion title, and the rest of them are National Champions / Junior Champions by now. 1 dog has for the second year in a row qualified for Top Show Dog of the year in Ireland. They have all collected a huge number of CAC & CACIB worldwide, whichpleases us a lot! Lots of Best Of Breeds, Group-placements and Best In Show-placements and a lot of new winner-titles! Thanks a lot to all of you for making our drem come true, and thank you all for taking so good care of our babies. It means a lot to us!
We are proud to announce that our Rica (N UCH NORDV-10 NV-11 Arctic Kees Brilliant Disguise) is top winning bitch in Norway this year, in the competition run by the Norwegian Keeshond Club & her brother Trym ( N UCH NV-10 NORDV-10 Arctic Kees Blaze Of Glory) is 2nd most winning Keeshond male (including 2 Best In Show at all breed CH shows). Rica has entered 5 Norwegian Kennel Club International Shows this year, and she has taken 4 Best Of Breeds in tough competition with other top winning Keeshonden from Scandinavia. These 4 Best Of Breeds made her win the Top Winning Keeshond in Norway at Norwegian Kennel Club's shows, as she has more Best Of Breeds than any other Keeshond in Norway in 2011 at the Norwegian Kennel Club's International Shows. We are really proud of our little girl!
