We are Fred & Pat Wellings. We have decided to take the venture into a smaller breed. After much research into the breeds, we have decided that the Swedish Vallhund was the breed that fit our requirements. We wanted to stick to the herding group & I like wash & wear dogs (bath & dry & you're ready to go). Grooming once a week is usually enough except during shedding season (Spring & Fall). These little dogs are great bundles of energy & are a fun dog to have. I have never laughed as much in my life as I have since purchasing this little girl as a puppy. They are a herding dog, love to play, love to work, are great in shows, conformation, herding, obedience, agility, tracking & any other sport you would like to pursue, or as an excellent family companion. They learn very quickly. They are very loving & like to be with their people.
Our Swedish Vallhund & German Shepherd Dogs get along very well together. Swedish Vallhunds are noted for getting along well with other dogs of all breeds.
A big THANK YOU to Ulla Gamberg of Vastgota Swedish Vallhunds for trusting us with one of her beautiful Swedish Vallhund girl. We love our little girl (Swedish Vallhund-SV for short) Vastgota Nova Mayflower ST. Nova has an excellent show record & just needs a 2pt. major to finish her Canadian Championship.
"Flash" - Nova finishes her Canadian Championship, with a Group 2nd. & a Group 3rd. at Miramichi Kennel Club shows on Sept. 24 & 25, 2011 (at 13 mths. of age), under Judges Thomas Burke & David Markus respectfully.
News - Nova wins the Herding Group at the Atlantic Top Dog Awards held on Saturday October 29, 2011, (at 14 mths. of age) under Judges Thomas Burke, Sandy Alexander, & Doug McIntyre.
"A Big Thank you to all the judges who rewarded Nova with her Group placings & her BPIG placings"
And now coming to join "Nova" (Ch. Vastgota Nova Mayflower ST), again from Premium Breeder Ulla Gamberg is "Nova's" half-sister "Poppy" (Vastgota Mary Poppins LT) to follow in her sisters footsteps while Nova takes the move to the Obedience Ring for 2012.
