14-10: Today we were at the Dutch Specialty and we had a blast! I entered Kai, Niffy and Svarri. Kai became BOB with 1Exc + CAC. Niffy became best puppy with 1VP and Svarri became best veteran with 1Exc. We also entered Kai + Niffy together in brace class, which means we had to go to the main ring 4 times! First time was brace, they did actually quite nice for a first time, but we weren't selected. After that main ring judging for Best Baby and Best Puppy started, Niffy won Best Baby/Puppy in Show! After that we had to wait for Best Veteran judging, Svarri wasn't selected. And then the biggest thing: The Best in Show. My lovely home bred boy won BEST IN SHOW! Needless to say that I'm extremely proud of this accomplishment. He keeps amazing me. This will be one of his last shows though, it's now time for Niffy to continue promoting the breed.
29-09: Today I went to the Dog Show Maastricht with Kai & Niffy. Kai became BOB with 1Exc, CAC + CACIB, Niffy became Best Baby with a very very promising. No love for us in the main ring this time, but both behaved so well in the ring!

Vivid Dancer of Vorkosmia 'Niffy' got 1VP and was best baby. We got a beautiful baby pink + baby blue rosette and it's so darn cute! Her sister became second in baby class, also with a VP. Our showboy Viking Blood of Vorkosmia "Kai" got 1Exc, CAC + Best Male & BOS. His sister was BOB. It was a fun day and I'm so thankful for the judges who appreciate the dogs I've bred. After the show, when I came home, Kai mated Hazel! So hopefully we'll have a litter in November!
12-08: We went to the 3 shows during the World Dog Show weekend, Kai got 1Exc on all days and on 2 of the days he got resCACIB. He was such a good boy, so proud of him!
27-06: We decided to keep a girl from our Dragonflies litter. This wasn't planned at all, but sometimes you have to follow your heart. "Welcome" Vivid Dancer of Vorkosmia!
24-06: Today at the IDS Hanzeshow, Kai was BOB with 1Exc, CAC + CACIB. And, on top of that, he was placed 3rd in group!! Breed judge was Thomas Rohlin (DK), group judge was Svein Barne Helgesen (NO).

In group judging he was selected with best 6! He wasn't placed, but it was a very special moment for us, we never achieved that! Group judge was Eva Liljekvist Borg (Sweden).
On the second day of the IDS Martinidogshow Groningen, we got the same results: Viking Blood of Vorkosmia "Kai" was Best Male, Best of Breed, CAC + CACIB, judged by Leon Scholten (The Netherlands). In group judging he was selected with best 6 and was placed 3rd BEST IN GROUP! Apparently he made a good impression, the group judge said the breed usually doesn't get placed often, but Kai was very pretty & showy. Kai was very tired, but he showed his socks off! Group judge was Mona Selbach, the same judge that judged the breed the day before.
2017
27-09: The 24th of September we went to the Scandia Specialty. WE had a very succesful day, Kai became 2nd Best Male, Svarri was Best Female and BOS, our youngest girl Hazel was 3rd best bitch. They were all first in their class.

27-02: Sadly both girls aren't pregnant. We'll try again next heat.
01-02: The girls came in heat a bit earlier than expected. Luckily both stud owners were very flexible, so it was no problem. We're hoping to welcome 2 litters at the end of March. At the end of February we'll do an ultrasound to see if the ladies are really pregnant!
2016
11-12: What a nice last show of this year! Kai became Best of Breed at the Amsterdam Winner 2016, adding 2 new titles to his name! The groupjudge (Ms. A. Indergaard from Norway) said she liked him very much. Sadly Kai didn't behave on the table, we REALLY need to train a bit more for that!
09-10: At the Scandia Clubmatch today we had a very friendly judge. Last week Kai had a bad experience with the table, and this judge really tried to make him feel comfortable again. Thanks to her patience, Kai became best male with an 1exc. Hazel got a 1VG, because she didn't show the typical movement. Senja (Poet's Dream of Vorkosmia) got 1Exc, BOB and BEST IN SHOW!! So proud..
01-10: Kai got a 1VG at the IJsselshow in Zwolle. Kai had a bad experience so he didn't want to be touched. The judge really liked him, but she gave an 1VG because of his behavior. Now we have to train a lot to make him more confident again on the table..
