There's
always been dogs in my family, and the breeds during my own puppy-hood
were an untrustworthy Finnish Lapphund and an absolutely marvellous
Irish Setter. In
1983, I bought myself my very first Sheltie, Titus, who you most probably met already, at the back-door... He showed
me what a most wonderful breed Shelties are and made me keen enough
to start my small kennel in 1988, which is situated at the outskirts
of Stockholm in Sweden.
Pictured
at the front door of my website - in
the snow - are the litter sisters Nightwind
Minnie the Minx and Nightwind Midway Moll. Two daughters by my foundation
bitch S Ch. Anthos Isla at Stornway. An English import.
I moved to Texas in 1997 and just took up showing again. I hope to breed
some really nice shelties here in a few years and just got myself my
american foundation bitch Kimark Magic at Nightwind. I hope to show
her starting this very fall.
My
love for Shelties makes me eager to be part of the breed, though I am
no bigtime breeder. I
am the webmaster for the SSSK webpages (The Swedish Shetland Sheepdog
Club) and have been the editor of the third SSSK Club Handbook, as well
as co-editor for the second one. There's more information on the books
if you follow the link to The SSSK website.
Below
are pictures and pedigrees of some of the dogs I have bred or owned
over the 17 years I've been a Sheltie freak.
