Haredale's archive news 2011
In Memory: In 2010 some of us had to say goodbye to their dogs. Like you I am very sad about these losses, yet would like to thank you all for having given your dogs a wonderful, active life.
Haredale Candra (06.01.1994 - 04.06.2010)
At the age of 16 years and 5 months Candra was simply too weak to go on living.
Candra and Fritz spent many happy years working together.
Haredale Grishu (11.07.1998 - 20.09.2010)
For inexplicable reasons Grishu had dislocated two discs in his neck, and an operation would not even have been possible in a young dog.
Manuela was denied the opportunity of enjoying her "Grishi" to a really old age.
Haredale Gale (11.07.1998 - 26.12.2010)
Ursula Schöppl writes that Gale (Dunlin's grandmother) was picking up all the autumn 2010, and also successfully completed a large number of searches on wounded deer. In the night of the 26th December Gale quite simply fell asleep without ever having shown any signs of any health problems throughout her whole life.
Haredale Hopeful Huckleberry (14.07.1998 - Summer 2010)
I learnt this news from a third party on the occasion of a test on 9th January 2011. A pity the owners didn't tell me themselves.
Our dogs accompany us only such a short way of our lives, then we have to let them go...
... and the Avalanche Rescue Dog Trial Season 2011 has also started:
On Saturday, 15th January, some Haredale Teams had a run in Davos-Pischa:

3rd place with 273 points "very good"* - Lilo Fracheboud with Haredale Questing Skip
* means the team qualified with a "mention", i.e. at least 70% of the points in every part of the trial
Congratulations on a wonderful start into the season - hope all of you continue to go strong!

26./27. 03.2011 Swiss All-Breed Avalanche Dog Championship on the Engstligenalp near Adelboden in the Bernese Oberland
Thank you very much to the organizing committee for the perfect organization. The weather was - unfortunately - not in their hands, otherwise it would have been the same on both days! However, it is an outdoor event and we simply have to play the game.
On Saturday the weather was pretty bad, which led to only one single team qualifying out of the 14 running on that day. After having waited to get my run from 11.30 in the morning until 3.30 p.m. in the afternoon I was told that I would be running as the first competitor on Sunday morning. My nerves played up very badly and yet I had to be happy that my reliable Dunlin started the day locating the two persons!
Winner and Champion 2011
my sister, Susy Ommerli mit Manya vom Diemberg (Giant Schnauzer) 288 points, excellent
2nd place: Brigitte Kaiser with Haredale Nandin 276 points, very good
3rd place: André Bühler with Haredale Little Dart 275 points, very good
(last year's winner and Nandin's dam!)
4th place: Verena Ommerli with Dunlin von der Atterseewelle 269 points good
(better large area search leads to higher ranking)
5th place: Didier Rüegg with Haredale Questing Beaver 269 points good
Mother and son in the awards is simply awesome!
Once again CONGRATULATIONS to all of you on the wonderful results!
As for the "weather victims" let me say: the next winter is sure to come and who knows... Thus: keep going and enjoy your dogs!
12th March 2011 - Dummy Trial Fara in Sabina (I)

Lis Eggenberger and Haredale Panya qualify with 77 points.
Lisbeth Birchler and Haredale Patya got full points in their first exercise; however, unfortunately their luck left them afterwards and they had to accept two zeros - thus they were out!
Congratulations to the P like Power-Handlers on their remarkable stamina when handling these impressive but rather strenuous "Ferraris"!
Haredale Tarn has qualified for breeding having passed all the tests required by the Swiss Retriever Club. She got 99 out of 99 points in the temperament test and was awarded the qualification "very good" for her conformation.
I am happy to have yet another daughter of Kanya's to breed from in the future.
Planned Litter
After having tried unsuccessfully to mate Haredale Orenda to Haredale Phoenix twice, in which Orenda made it quite clear that she did not want to have anything to do with her pack mate, I have decided to mate Orenda to IntFTCh Carolhill Quistador "Edge" in her coming season in summer.

9th April - German Cup 2011
First of all a thank you to the organizers, judges and helpers - it was a great event!
The weather was kind to us, although maybe a bit too warm. The grounds in the woods were challenging, particularly for our two D-Atterseewelle "Flying missiles", my Dunlin and Marion Schwaller's Devon. They were incited to fall into "hunting mode" by the woodland grounds. What a shame for the wonderful performance our teammate, Karl-Heinz Dunker and his consistent bitch, Flycatcher Aghamora Pat, put up. Yet, we had fun and it was good to see and talk to so many people I hadn't seen for a long time.
One thing came out very clearly: sometimes a real "flyer" of a dog can be too fast...
16.04.2011 SC-OG Le Locle Tracking Dog 97
Class FH97 2
Res Krebs and Nando: 1st with the qualification "excellent" 100 points out of 100!

Congratulations!
Copyright - or how to easily get pictures to illustrate your own books!
In a recently published book on the Labrador Retriever, a row of four heads is to be found on page 36. These heads are commented on in the following way by Claudia Perricone, the author:
Guardando queste teste vengono subito in mente altre razze: il bracco, il rottweiler, il segugio e nessuno di questi sguardi esprime la dolcezza tipica del Labrador.
(Looking at these heads other breeds immediately come to mind: the pointing dogs, the rottweiler, the segugio and none of them has the expression showing the typical gentleness of the Labrador.)
These pictures used in Perricone's book are to be found in Reports - Breed Standard - on this website (The first four of the row of black heads.)
As the author of this book, Claudia Perricone, has taken this row of pictures that had been chosen, worked on, and published by me and my webmaster, Tanja Grygar, without asking permission and as she has had the audacity to write such deroagtory remarks on the heads presented, I cannot but congratulate her on her vast knowledge of the breed and breed type: all these heads are the heads of Labrador Retrievers that bore the British titles of CHAMPION or SHOW CHAMPION - however from different decades...
Litters planned for this year (see Litters for more information)
Haredale Orenda should come in season in Mai-June, with the puppies to be born in August-September. However, should Orenda be ready for mating in July only, I would take the opportunity to mate her in GB, as I shall be spending some weeks across the channel as from 10th July.
Haredale Patya is supposed to be mated end May - beginning of June so that the puppies would be born around mid-August.
Lisbeth Birchler and I went to look at some stud dogs over Easter and have decided that Heike Reichelt's "Johnboy" (Birdbrook Hamlet) is to be the father of this litter. (Cf. more in "Planned litters".)
I am still not quite sure as to whether I would like Crest to have a third and last litter. However, I am considering using my young Irish dog, Callan, on her, as he does seem to have all the qualities I would be looking for. Callan should get his breeding permission by the end of June. Crest is due to come in season around mid-August, so I still have time to make up my mind. It also depends on whether my job will leave me enough time, which I shall only know at the beginning of July.
June 2011 - expected litter in France
On 20th April Phoenix mated Nathalie and Guy Matter's Dinky Toy de l'Etang de la Thiellerie (www.k9data.com) and website www.dyanalys.com. Dinky is a pure field trial line bitch that has some very renowned British and French field trial lines in her pedigree, e.g. she is a granddaughter of "Edge", Carolhill Quistador. Dinky got her breeding permission, which included the temperament test, in Switzerland before Nathalie and Guy moved to France, thus she also had her x-rays done and scored in Switzerland: HD B, ED 0, eyes clear 2010, prcd-PRA clear.
This combination is expected to produce black "Ferraris", which will hardly be a good choice for beginners!
For more information please contact me or Nathalie Matter (whose mother tongue is French, but she also speaks a little German (Guy speaks German fluently), but no English at all) +33 (0)3 85 74 07 03

Friday, 13th May 2011
Callan's first eye examination went well - nonwithstanding the unlucky date :) - everything perfect. I am very relieved.
Unfortunately my new computer had a hardware defect, and even more unfortunately all the outlook data has been lost due to the fact that the people responsible did not save any data, nonwithstanding my urgent plea to do so. Thus I have lost all the outlook data including e-mail messages and contact addresses. I should therefore like to ask everybody who contacted me over the last few months to send me a short message so that I have both your enquiry and address again. Thanks a lot!
Surprise for everybody interested in the litter Orenda x Edge. Orenda has just come in season and I hope to be able to spend a few days' holiday in the Provence at the beginning of June.
Would everybody who has already shown an interest in this litter please send me a short message as I had a hardware defect on my new computer and lost all my data including all the e-mail messages received over the past weeks... Whoever got a reply from me within the past 10 days knows that I have their address - the others do please contact me again. I am so sorry about this.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the Ks! Today you are 10 years old!
I am happy that this kind, sound and biddable line, which goes back to my unforgotten Bramble, is carried on in various countries in Europe through Keena, Kanya and Kerwyn's sons and daughters.
In Switzerland: Haredale (M-, O-, R-, T- & U-litter), Hostris (through Kerwyn), Weberlis Rebberg (through Minx) & Foxmead (through Gunsight's Clash)
In Austria: Atterseewelle & Ragweed's (through Haredale Minx & Felix von der Atterseewelle)
In Germany: Gunsight's (through Keena), Schwarzer Panther (through Kerwyn) & Querfeldein (through Minx)
In Sweden: Meadowlark (through Kerwyn)
In Finland: Waterfowler (through Torry)
... and I am pleased that our Ks are still so fit - hopefully they will accompany us for many years to come.
On 30th April Cindy and Tawin are placed 3rd with 192 points in the class Companion Dog 1 in their very first competition. Congratulations.
(The maximum score in a "Mehrkampf" (only the jumping and obedience parts) is 200 points. In a "Mehrkampf" there is no nosework, which makes up the third part of the usual maximum of 300 points.
News for everybody wanting a Patya x Johnboy puppy: Patya came in season yesterday.
Lots of action expected towards the end of my summer holidays... Orenda and Patya mated!
On 1st & 2nd June Orenda was mated by Edge
On 3rd & 4th June Patya was mated by Johnboy
(This is Lisbeth's litter, which will be brought up here with my affix.)

Phoenix' Happy Birthday. Today we Ps are already 4 years old and I should also like to congratulate all my litter mates. I gave myself a very special birthday present: first I rolled happily back and forth feeling really comfortable and then I devoured the thing I'd rolled on, thoroughly enjoying it... Pardon? Oh, you want to know what it was? Well - a huge big fish. (No, Verena was not very amused with her black, running four-legged fish).
Callan's father now has his own website:Irish Trial Labradors
Great Declan and Tommy to get more information on your nice dogs!
Litters planned for 2012
Planned are two litters:Haredale Tarn x Dunlin von der Atterseewelle

Summer holiday July 2011
31st July 2011 - the V-litter has arrived
Between 04.05 and 11.30 Orenda gave birth to 9 healthy pups. Orenda proved to have the instinct and dealt with the situation without any problems. There are 1 black dog, 3 yellow dogs, 3 black bitches & 2 yellow bitches. Unfortunately there was a stop after the ninth puppy and at five in the evening the last little black bitch was born dead after a visit to the vet's.Yet I have to be happy that Orenda and the 9 pups are absolutely fit.

holiday July 2011 was completed.
Sad news: yesterday at 19.30 the only black dog of Orenda's V-litter was fit and active, weighing a proud 720g - and at 23.30 he lay dead in the box. Lisbeth had given Orenda something to drink during this time and we were sitting having dinner virtually beside the box with the mum and the pups...
I am a complete wreck and would ask to understand that I do not want any visitors in the coming 10 days.

The pathology-report shows that the little black boy of the V-litter, which died unexpectedly last Thursday, suffered from Sepsis (caused by coli-bacteria). Our fear that another puppy from either the V- oder the W-litter may become affected remains. Lisbeth Birchler (W-litter) and I (V-liter) would therefore prefer not to have any puppy visitors before they are over 3 weeks old.

20th & 21st August 2011 - Working Tests and Cold Game Tests in S-chanf
In 1976 I ran my first Labrador, Dirk von Stieg in his first test - since then I have run more than 15 Labradors in over 300 tests and trials (of which a number of championships!) - but this weekend will most definitely remain a crucial experience, due to the following statement by one of the British judges: "It doesn't matter, what the dog does, what counts is, what I write in my book." To make such a statement is one thing, to judge accordingly another... On the one hand on Saturday a mix up of numbers led to a 0 for the wrong competitor, on the other hand (as a compensation) a 0 was later changed into 15 points.Puppies out of Orenda x Edge to be sold.
Due to the high Swiss franc compared to the € and the corresponding fairly high price for a puppy, I have had various cancellations from German puppy buyers. Thus some puppies from the Orenda-litter are for sale again.X-ray scores
Unbelievable Avon has been scored with HD A/A, ED 0/0, OCD-free and Lumbosacral vertrebrae Type 0. I am as happy as the owner Antje Gunzinger...and some more good news: Corrcastle Jay, the little bitch I looked for and found during my autumn holidays 2010 for Didier Rüegg and Nicole Reichenbach has equally as good scores. Thus giving up part of my holiday seems to have been worthwhile.
After all but two pups of the V- and W-litters had left the house I took some days off to travel around at the beginning of October - now, however I have ended up being stuck at home. Stuck, because my car has a wrecked engine and my little boy Callan has been in the Veterinary Clinic in Bern since Friday night where he is being treated for Babesiosis (a serious infection caused by a certain type of tick that occurs in the Alsace where we do some picking up). I am hoping to get him back home any day now as he is a lot better.
The positive side to the story is that I now have time to update my homepage.
Swiss Police Dog Championship Winner for Drug Sniffing

Thank you to all the staff at the Veterinary Clinic in Bern.

First half 2012 - Irish stud dogs on the continent!
Possibly two Irish stud dogs from excellent working bloodlines and with best health results will be available at stud on the continent from January to July 2012.
They are on the one hand Open FTWinner Newcam Gunner "Guiness" (see my breeding plans with Crest!) and on the other hand the young dog Chief Lightning Bolt.
Whoever would like more information please contact me.
On 24th November Brigitte Clinton had to let her beloved Ivyglen Tessa go. Brigitte and Tessa took part in a large number of working tests and field trials, gaining the French FTCh titles à la française and à l'anglaise. Furthermore Tessa gave Brigitte a litter with the kennel affix Glenoak. I know how much Brigitte misses Tessa and feel sorry that she could not enjoy the company of the old girl a lot longer.
Northern Ireland - Yellow Labrador puppies with interesting pedigree
In Northern Ireland there is at the moment a litter of yellow lab pups by FTCh Eastdale Harry x IntFTCh Terminane Aisling of Shimnaval.
