Sunny ble vår først
boxer, hun kom til
oss 28. mars 1984.
Sunny oppførte seg som alle valper burde gjøre - alltid trygg og
glad. Bøkene om hundepsykologi fra tiden som cocker-eier kunne
legges på hylla.
Som sagt hadde vi brukt mye tid på å finne en oppdretter som delte vår overbevisning om viktigheten av å gi valpene optimale
"sosiale" forhold de første 8 viktige leveukene. Kennel Larun
tilfredsstilte alle krav - Unni bodde nærmest på valperommet
disse ukene!
Sunny fortsatte sin fine mentale utvikling til glede for seg selv og sine
omgivelser En mer omgjengelig hund skal du lete lenge etter, og ulikt
mange boxere elsket hun alle sine artsfrender. Da Norsk
Schäferhundklubb avd. Rogaland skulle arrangere funksjonsanalyse i 1987 var det naturlig å la Sunny prøve. Hun bestod
med glans og fikk dermed et skriftlig bevis på sin mentale helse
- ikke mange har det - verken to- eller firbente! Sunny ble dermed
første
boxer i Norge som besto denne testen!
Sunny var også av bra eksteriørmessig kvalitet. På sin andre
utstilling tok hun hjem NKK-certet bare 14 måneder gammel. Samme dag
klarte hun
1. premie i lydighet klasse I. Sunny bestod
også NKK's kåringsprøve for tjenestehunder og hun ble norsk
utstillingschampion.
Sunnys mor var
LARUN ELEKTRA. - En
fantastisk avlstispe som fortsatt innehar rekorden over antall
championavkom - 7 stykker - de fleste i samarbeid
med CAN AM N UCH MEPHISTOS INTERMEZZO.
Avlsmessig hadde vi ikke flaksen på
vår side. Det ble bare ett kull med én valp - som i tillegg skulle vise
seg å bli kryptorkid -
REXOB BOBBY
SOX.
Skuffelsen
over dette var stor da han utviklet seg til å bli en eksteriørmessig flott
boxer som den tyske rasespesialisten Karin Rezewski gjorde til BIR
valp på NBKs utstilling i 1990.
Han bestod en glimrende funksjonsanalyse.
My first boxer was Larun Sunrise. Sunny joined
the household on March 28 1984.
Secure and full of joy from day one - Sunny behaved as a puppy should behave.
Unlike my unfortunate cocker spaniel. The books on dog-psychology could safely
be replaced on the bookshelf.
As mentioned I had devouted a lot of time and effort in finding a breeder who
shared my view of the importance of giving the puppies optimal social training
during the first eight weeks of their life. Kennel LARUN could live up to all my
demands - as the kennels female part, Unni Vestrheim, practically spent all her
time with the puppies these crucial weeks.
Sunny continued her impressive mental development to the delight of both
herself and her environment. Being extremely sociable,she became best
friends with humans and dogs alike. Unlike many boxers she loved all her
fellow-canines. In 1987 she passed the working ability test with flying colours.
Thus achieving a written testimony of her mental health. Not all of us can boast
the same. Sunny was the first boxer in Norway to pass this test traditionally reserved for German Shepherd dogs.
Sunny was also good looking. On her second outing, only 14 months old,
she won the kennel-club certificate necessary to become a Norwegian champion.
Thus having passed one third on the road to the championship, which finally was
achieved in Tromsø in the north of Norway. On the same day that she was awarded
the Kennel Club-certificate she managed an impressive first prize in obedience.
Sunny
also passed the Norwegian Kennel Clubs obedience test for working breeds
(kåringsprøve).
Sunny was the daughter of
LARUN
ELEKTRA
- An outstanding dam
whose seven champion offspring still is a Norwegian record. The better
part of these seven champions were the result of her affair with
CAN.AM.N.CH. MEPHISTOS INTERMEZZO,
the impressive Canadian import of Paul Scott (Kennel Formula).
Breeding-wise we were
unfortunately not as lucky, ending up with only one litter which contained
only one male puppy, who on top ended up as a cryptorchid-
REXOB BOBBY
SOX. The dissapointment wasn`t made easier by the fact that he was an
extremely good looking fellow, who the German breed-specialist Karin
Rezewski chose as her best of breed-puppy at the Norwegian boxer club in 1990.
Mentally he was entirely on top however, as he later passed the working
ability test in a most impressing manner.
