NEWS 27.05.2020

Not much to report in these times. Nkk Trondheim is on tour, the last weekend in June. Then the Norwegian whippet club has come up with information on its facebook page that there will be a double show in Trondheim this past weekend in July. So then we have a bit to look forward to. Otherwise, in kennel Courtborne there is a round of our sponsors and newsletters with these. Thanks to everyone who sponsors us year after year. Appetite dog food - Non-Stop Dogwear - Katohund (Myklebust whale products) - Hund-1 Trondheim.We hope for a big registration from our puppy owner these two weekends in Trondheim. Although the social may not be quite the same, it is fun with some company. 

LINK 26.05.2020

Here are some links to some statistic about bob and bos winning whippets in Norway from 2000 until today.  This statistic is meant as a nice piece of information and nothing else. You will also find a link of male dogs in Norway that have more than one litter per year in Norway from 2000 until today.
​Import dogs to Norway. These statistics were also published on a facebook page "Whippetvenner Norge" Sadely they removed by the administrators as quickly as they were posted. This completely without feedback this of  removal. A little sight when this is a fun read for many whippet people in Norway. Would have been something else if Jørgen had not made this statistic.
Info about the European Championship in Lure Coursing 2020. Unfortunately, this event is canceled. The cancellation was not to be avoided in these Covid-19 times. Sad news for everyone who was qualified and signed up. But there will be more championships and more opportunities.

INFO 12.03.2020

Also Villmarksmessa next weekend in our home town of Trondheim is canceled.This was a puppy show and match show .. The Corona virus spreads fast so we urge everyone to take the advance rules that the Directorate of Health sends out.If everyone follows these then probably this goes over . Take care of yourself and those closest to your health in the time ahead. If anyone needs help because of the "quarantine" set up, next time you might be.
