In memoriam

Bjarkeyjar Dimmalimm – Dimma

Dimmalimm came from Bjarkeyjar kennel in Iceland. She was the first Boxer we ever got and the reason for why I decided to start breeding Boxers. She decided early that dog shows were not her cup of tea. She had her own ideas on how rather to spend her time, i.e. in the horse stable, which was her favorite place in the whole world. Nonetheless I did show her a few times with good results. Dimma had a great character. She finished the Icelandic Kennel Club’s mental test and was HD A-FRI.

Táta

Táta was a Golden Retriever and Irish Setter crossbreed. She was born on 21st January 1994 and was given to me by Elli around Easter 1994 when we had just moved into our first house. Táta was a very intelligent dog and a quick learner, it took for example only two weeks to housebreak her. She always accompanied me to the stables and went with me horseback riding. She was a real hunting dog and it weren’t few mice that ended their life after a short encounter with Táta. Around the stables there were always a few domestic ducks swimming in the canals but she never paid any attention to them, seemed to know that she was not allowed to touch them. In the same canals there were often wild ducks swimming with their ducklings in the summer, these she used to chase like mad and didn’t let anybody tell her not to… how she made this distinction I don’t know. Táta was an extreme racist. She was quite young when she decided that there were far too many Border Collies in this country and that it would be best to try to reduce their number somewhat. Thereupon her attitude towards them was first hitting and then sniffing… and every now and then she found out that some of them were maybe ok after all.
