We went to the beach last weekwith the dogs and the mobilehome to
clear our minds of all things that happened last year. The last months
were not so easy for us to deal with, our healthproblems and the death
of Remi were very hard to deal with. But we tried to leave it behind us
and start 2012 with new energie. Happy
New Year !

17-04-2011: Sad news and happy
news: we were called by a young woman whose parents are in a divorce.
Both parents couldn't take care of Tommie ( Sweet Expression's
Anchorman) any more, and the daughter who called (but we are SO happy
that she called us!!!) couldn't take care of Tommie either. So she
asked us to replace him. Not such an easy job, because Tommie is 9 years
old. But ok, internet is a wonderful medium..... half an hour after we
placed a message on Hyves ( the dutch kind of Facebook), we found new
owners for Tommie ( Thank you Ester for your help!) and the next day
they picked him up. He was in a bad coatcondition so he had to be
shaved, but he is a wonderful social dog with people and animals and he
was at home in a minut! Thank you Lyke and Monique for giving this old
boy a good home in his final years !
Tommie after a week in his new home...dreaming about
his wonderful new life :-)
02-04-2011: We received a lot
of photos of the puppies of our Tom and Emma. We have placed them
under Tom.
25-03-2011: We had to make the
terrible decision to clip our Tom, due to Roosmaries' healthcondition
and stay in the hospital for 4 weeks. Tom doesn't mind and to be honest,
we still think he is a wonderful OES!
13-3-2011: We went to the
International dogshow in Offenburg with Claire ( Sweet Expression's
Nothing to Declare), in the south of Germany. Not without success:
CAC-CACIB and Beste van het ras!
5-3-2011: We had a great walk
in the woods with a lot of Sweet Expression's OES.
21-2-2011:
Everything changed into normal, all puppies went to their new homes, and
they are all doing fine! Don't miss this funny movie about the puppies'
photoshoot!
Mark went to Israel for giving some lectures
about behaviour and also took our Oprah with him to show her at the Israeli
Herding Club double CAC show. Judges Mrs. Liliane de Ridder (Belgium)
and Ms. Natalja Nekrosiene (Lithuania). Both judges awarded BIS to our
Sweet Expressions On Stage (Oprah). Oprah also won the Israeli Champion
and Grand Champion titles all on the same day!
The next day Mark and Oprah met a camel....so funny to see
how Oprah was wondering what kind of animal that was!
8-2-2011:We had some hectic
weeks,eye-testing the puppies: all clear. Than we went to the vet for
the baertest: Very sad day... 2 of our
puppies are halfdeaf. We do the baertest for 6 years now with all of our
dogs including all puppies, and we are in shock. Where the hell does it
come from? Breeders who say : ' a good breeder can see this in the
litter" : NO you can't ! More about the baertest: http://www.deafdogs.org/tr
aining/
All puppies do have a new home and they will
leave to their new owners in the next week. We will miss them, they are
so wonderful! Photos: click HERE
