Myotonia Congenita

10 Years ago we found out that our male Unique V D Havenstad carried this gene. Today I heard that a puppy in Finland gained this horrible disease. For us that was involved in this 10 years ago, it is unbeliveble that it still is miniatureschnauzer-breeders that are not aware of how easy it is to test dogs... And that they still choose to breed to stock that is common knowlegde as carriers of Myotonia Congenita.
IF a puppy gaines the desease, both parents needs to carry the gene. If only one of the parents is a carrier, there will be no sick puppies. When I looked at the pedigree of the dog that is sick I found a connection to our "Nick's" father that we know carries the gene.

The dog that is found to be sick is out of the litter B from Kennel Zylvan in Finland - and you can look up the pedigee at the Finnish KC's Koiranet :

Arbeybuffel's Missed me bye

Today our wonderful Arbeybuffel's Missed me bye - Kate - is 12 years old.. And it has been 12 fantastic years with her...




She came to me as a birthday-present after beeing on the hunt for a fundation-bitch for almost a year. And 20 of Dec. 1998 she arrived by plane together with me after we had to travel Scandinavia up and around due to a mistake at the airline.... However - This has been a story of how a different bitch truly changed how to breed mini's in Norway. Herself has 7 Champion-offsprings and more than 20 champions has Katie behind them in their pedigree.

This is Kate 1 year old - Spring 1999

Kate 2 years old - finishing her Swedish title in 2001


Kate - 8 years old, still playful and beautiful

Her breeders Janet Callow and Betty Fletcher, kennel Arbeybuffel in the UK has been an insperation on how to continue our breeding and we are proud to bring these lines forward into the next decade.

Ticks and fleas

I thought that we wouldn't have much this year as it has been freezing cold this winter... BUT reading the news is seems that they have been protected by all the snow this winter..

SO - all our dogs are now treated with flea and tick drops and ready for the summer..

This time of the year it's also fleas on alot of dogs - so plz... check your dog for this so we don't spread it more. If you are unsure if your dog have fleas, its better to protect your dog with expot or simular than hope it is nothing.
