April 24th!
Invictus Star 6,5 weeks old went to a Puppy-Huntingtest. The purpose of this test is to look at the hunting and working properties of a puppy. It was a nice and varied test, including a sent-track from a dove and two different kind of retrieves. The retrieves were to him unknown, one was a wing and the other a rabbit-dummy.
He brought all of them nicely and correctly in to the hands of a for him anonymous and unknown puppytester!
As a final conclusion he got an ''ideal'' with the comment that he is very people orientated and has an enormous will to please!
One of the puppytesters (a KJV A-trainer with years of pointing dog experience) told me that he actually trough al the years never had seen a puppy of this age or any kind of breed that already really could retrieve!
What a little talent he is and no shot or loud noise anxiety really a wonderful puppy. As a breeder I am very proud that also with this one puppy I can make a good contribution to the Stabyhoun as a work-hunting dog.
This month there is a nice article about the Field Trials in Sweden published in the magazine of the NVSW (Dutch Association of Stabyhoun and Wetterhoun) ''The Frysian Hounen''. One piece is written explicit about Isolde and the way she stood out by showing such talent and will to work.
Welcome to the world Invictus, a male born an a sunny day at the beginning of the afternoon on the 13th of March.
The birth went well.
Isolde totally adores her puppy and takes excellent care of him.
Invictus was from the moment he was born immediately a lively and frisky puppy, that must promise lots of good things for the future!
On the 11th of January has there been a successful ''date'' between Isolde and Jaitze.
Isolde is pregnant with one puppy.
Both parents have excellent working qualities so hopefully this one and only puppy will bring a good contribution to the survival of the Stabyhoun as a working breed.

Isolde has won two awards at a Field Work Competition in Sweden.
One cup for judges choice off the day and one trophy for the best Stabyhoun of all the Dutch combinations. These prices were giving because of Isolde her enormous drive, perseverance and working-hunting in complete unity with her handler.
She searched 60 minutes from which 45 minutes non stop galloping in dense cover meanwhile listing perfectly to any minimum indication of her handler, she did great!
According to the jury Isolde is a Stabyhoun with a massive hunting talent and works in complete harmony with her handler. The Jury had never seen before such a good hard working Stabyhoun.
