Our own dogs, Dk Jv 2018 Courtborne Leia-Organa also ran their last approved license race on Sunday 12/7. On Saturday 11/7, Hel Jv 19 Fin Jv 19 Courtborne Jung-Su managed their last license race. Both are fully certified in Norway. C Leia-Organa only needs a national CC to become Norwegian and Danish champion. Jung-Su must first be 2 years old. Both of these will be looking at Lure coursing trials in the Nordics. We look forward to seeing these run after the rag. That same weekend, we also lent our licensed dogs to other competitors who needed support dogs for their license race.

​This weekend was Courtborne Mi-Cha (Emma) at her first Lure Coursing / License race. Her first race was rated very good and passed. Then we cross our fingers that there are several license runs on her and that the license book is in the box for Autumn prov. If all goes well and that we can conduct Lure coursing prov in Norway - Sweden. The owner of Emma is Jenny Eklund.

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.

NEW PIC 30.03.2020

As there was not one published picture of Ch Nord Junior winner 2010 Courtborne Hermione Granger we are posting a picture now. There are also some other informative documents on her that can be of interest to people. For example, heart test from Stjørdal Animal Clinic. A cardiologist test, and her heart is just fine.This test was unfortunately kept secret for us, and other rumors were put out.This proves what we have been saying all along. This dog is healthy. Thanks to those who sent us these documents, you know who you are.

INFO 12.03.2020

Due to the corona virus, all activities with crowds of over 500 people have been canceled in Norway. Thus, the Norwegian kennel club closes its exhibition in Kristiansand first coming weekend. 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.
