Kalle
is my pride
and joy.
He has the
sweetest
temperament
that you
can imagine.
He also
seems to
inherit
his lovely,
easygoing
temperament
to his offspring.
He is my
first show
beardie
and we have
had a lot
of fun in
the ring.
He gained
his junior
world winner
title in
1998 in
Helsinki,
his Finnish
champion
title as
he was 2
years old
and he has
also gained
Swedish
and Norwegian
champion
title. Kalle
has also
achieved
BIS-wins
as well
as group
wins.
Kalle has
sired 3
litters.
The first
litter was
born in
Hillguards
kennel and
the second
one in Sweden,
Nallelandets
kennel. At the tender age of 11 year he became dad for the third time. This time the bitch was owned by Glenthistle kennel.
This bitch gave birth to a litter of 8 puppies. I wish Kalle's
offspring
and their
owners all
the best
and hope
that they
will bring
as much
joy and
happiness
into their
whole environment
as Kalle
has brought
into mine.

On the photo above Kalle is five weeks old. Conny sent me photos of Hazel's litter and I was supposed to choose one. Well, I did not know much about what to look for in a five week old puppy but this one, number six, caught my eye. He stood like a showman already and even it is only a photo you can see his attitude. I have never regret my choice.
A day I will never forget (photo above) -the World Winner Dog Show in Helsinki in 1998. Kalle was entered and I drove all the long way to Helsinki in my small car. It was the first time I drove with the car to Helsinki, alone. Well it was worth all the stress as mrs Cartledge was very impressed by Kalle and made him Junior World Winner! What a day! "13 months. Heavily coated. Glamorous youngster with plenty of ring presence and style. Lovely head and expression. Beautifully presented. Easy mover. Good topline." (Elizabeth Cartledge)

The photo above is of Kalle's litterbrother who was sold to Japan. The quality of the photo is unfortunately not the best possible as I have scanned it from a paper copy.
