Our family are Britt and Lars Pinderud, our twinboys Simen and Anders at 16 1/2 years, and our four dogs; the mix Uzy is a 9  1/2 years old male who came to us in June 2005, Ambra at 6 1/2 years who we have kept from Alfis first litter. The Shetland Sheepdog male Xit and the Bernese Mountain Dog female Gozita are both 3 1/2 years old. Unfortunately there were no Berner Sennen puppies in May 2011, but we try again in 2012! This summer we bought a grey Tervueren male; Marco who is 8 months old (January 2012).

Lars and his familiy had a Golden Retriever male; Jacko, when he grow up. Britt always wanted a dog from she was a child, but it didn't become a reality before she in 1987 bought a Bernese Mountain Dog female, Sally. In 1990 Lars bought his first dog, the BMD Amigo. We met eachother through the Norwegian Bernese Mountain Dog Club, area Oslo and Omegn in 1992, and we can for sure say that it was Sally and Amigo which lead us together.

We also have had two groenendael; the female Vezita and the male Quatro, both from Kennel Sabako, and one tervueren; the female Tanita. The Berner Sennen female Siane was put asleep in the beginning of September 2009. In the beginning of May 2011 our first Friese Stabij female Alfi was put asleep, much too early, only 9 years old. All these dogs you can read more about at Our dogs.

Lars is educated step 1 instructure from the Norwegian Kennel Club. He has been a member of the board of NBSK area Oslo and Omegn, was placechief in NBSKs committee for Dog Shows and has been a member of the agilitycommitte in Follo Brukshundklubb.

Britt has for some years doing the Norwegian Kennel Clubs ringsecretaryedcucation, but it takes time when she is so busy with going to dog shows with our own dogs. She has always been activ in boards etc. Has been in the board of Ila Ungdomskorps (marchingband), NBSK area Oslo and Omegn and Follo Brukshundclub. Has been member of NBSKs committee for dog shows, committee of editing (the magazine) and breedingcommittee. For 11 years she was leader of FBKs committee of dog shows and has been responsible for Folloutstillingen; agility, obedience and puppyshow. January 2006 was the last time, and it was nice to get back the christmas again. Now she is the leader of the board of the Norwegian Stabyhoun Club - NoSC.

Our breed are small, the first litter came in March 2005, the second in March 2007 and the third in April 2010. We think it's important that the puppies are soscial when they get to their new homes, that's why they grow up together with us. The first three weeks they are at a room alone together with the mother, but visitors are coming and going from time to time. Rest of the time until delivery they live together with us in the livingroom where there are a lot of noise from the TV, vacuumcleaner etc. They also get used to children, both our own and others, and the other dogs in the family.

Lars is member of Follo Brukshundclub and familymember of Norwegian Stabyhoun Club and Norwegian Shetland Sheepdog Club. Britt is member of Norwegian Berner Sennenhund Club, Norwegian Stabyhoun Club, Norwegian Shetland Sheepdog Club and the Dutch Club for Stabij and Wetterhoun (NVSW). She is a familiymember of Follo Brukshundklubb.
