June 1995:
Kazita was born on the 6th of June 1995, and is from our first litter. She was from the very beginning a fearless and outgoing puppy, giving her mother a full-time job looking after her. She grew up with her brother Karo, and at the first puppy shows people told us that he was the star of the litter, we could just forget about Kazita. Karo was a very promising puppy, and he usually beated Kazita in puppy shows.
But Kazita grew up, and the ugly duckling became a swan. She was only 9 months old when he won her first CC, and the first thing the judge said when he saw her was "She is a certain champion". 35 tollers entered this show, and Kazita became 2nd best bitch. We were thrilled!
May 1996:
When Kazita was 11 months, we attended the Swedish Specialty Show in Mariestad. She won the junior class, and we were very satisfied with that, but she even became best bitch - out of more than 200 entries!! We were absolutely shocked, but the day wasn't over yet: Kazita even became BOB! 4 days later she won another CC, BOB and even a Group 2nd! Few weeks after that, she got her third CC, and her show carrier was put on hold for a while.
May 1997:
She was shown three times during the spring 1997, and all three time she got BOB with CACIB. She also became champion only two days after her 2nd birthday. Kazita has attended numerous shows during the years, and so far she has 13 BOB/BOS. She also became 2nd best bitch at the Swedish Specialty in 1999 and 2000.
We started training Kazita for tracking when she was 12 months, and when she was two years we attended some tests. The tests didn't always end well, Kazita was incredibly eager, and it was hard to tell whether she was on the right track or not. But the following autumn a friend of ours helped us with the training. He gave Kazita some really difficult tracks, and it actually helped. By the end of that year, she had gotten two of the three 1. prize you need to earn the tracking championship.
March 1998:
In March 1998 Kazita got her first litter, so her tracking carrier wa put on hold for a while. But after the puppies went to their new homes in May, we started training again. In July 1998 she got her third 1. prize, and became Norwegian Tracking champion. After she had gotten the Norwegian Championship, we started practicing for the Swedish trials. Late September we attended a Swedish Trial, and Kazita got another 1. prize. By that she also earned the Swedish Championship.
Kazita became Tracking champion of the year at the Swedish Specialty in 1999.
Kazita is an incredible dog; she's always happy and ready for action. She's a natural show-off, and she loves dog shows. When tracking she always uses the 5th gear, so we don't always end up where we were supposed to. She's also an eager retriever, but we haven't had the opportunity to field train her as much as wanted. Kazita has had 4 litters, and is now retired. We hope that she can have many happy years here as a retire.
June 12th 2008
The 6th of June Kazita became 13 years and we already then new it was her last days.
She had got a big lump on her left leg and we did'nt want to any operation on her. The 12th of June we let her go.
Our first Lauvstuagirl had ended her days, but left behind a lot of fun and good memories. You will for ever be in our heaths, Kazita.
