Looking back on 2020

The year that changed a lot and where shows where cancelled and travels was restricted.... many oppertunities passed and many of our younger dogs didn't get the chance to be entered to shows at all, so we had to arrange our own training shows, we invited also other breeders to take part, all in the spirit of practise show training! Other wise we tried to enter to the few shows that actually took place, mostly in Denmark. Abroad we could see some shows was made too, but at the end it was very few...
 

But everything is not shows...there's nosework, tracking and obediance competions to enter;

Worth to mention a little more;
- Ch House Of Softy Washington manage 2 Nosework titles
- Ch House Of Softy Ajax is a Swedish Track Champion and Obedience title
- Ch House Of Softy Emilia became Swedish and Danish show champion

We also achived:
-  14 times BOB or BOS
-  4 BIG and BIS placements
-  8 CAC
-  2 new champion titles
-  5 new winner titles


It was a strange year and as Im writing this now also 2021 started the same but with more oppertunities at the end of 2021 will come hopefully. Instead we had some litters which we hope will get the chance to show in 2022...
 
Thank you to everyone who bought a puppy from us, to our fantastic fosterhomes and their families who always support us, to all the judges who appreciate our Wheatens - we are very grateful to have you all and we look forward to meeting you soon!

Looking back on 2013

A recovery year? Absolutly not! Even though we didn't enter so many dog shows ourself we anyway were represented in many ways; Ch House Of Softy Orlando had an outstanding show year with many BOB, BIG and BIS placement and the official result is that he is now top show terrier nb 1 in Czech Repblica !! Ch House Of Softy Ofelia is our first Irish Champion in the breed origin country-how happy and proud can one be!

Not many breeders have accomplish this. And the sibblings House Of Softy Odessa and O'Boy are both close to their own championship titles as can be as they now have the right age(2 years) to fulfill the qualification. House Of Softy Prince has also a couple of BOB's and has soon qualified for his first champion title too. A couple of litters from interesting combinations have seen the world -Welcome to the life!

A 3rd place on the SWTK breeders group list is very satisfaying and 2 bitches among top ten Ch HOS Gelda with very few apperences and HOS Odessa is also very nice!

Being invited to judge our breed in Ufa, Russia was a fantastic experience! Seeing Russia for the first time and judgeing russian breed wheaten was a memory for life! I also held a masterclass in grooming for the russian wheaten people. Thank you Elena and Andre Sysloyatina for this oppertunity!

And I've also been invited to SWTK region North to have a masterclass in grooming for breeders and wheaten owners, thank you Region North with Therese Bäckström Zidohli and Lena Haglund, I'm honored!

We have also bought and moved into our new house, or farm, hope to see you there soon!

In summary-we are happy and healthy! Thank you to the puppy buyers, foster families, judges and everyone who cheered on us, we are greatful!
