Although there was only two puppies we had a struggle deciding which one to keep, in the end we kept Graila, the other puppy, Spooky (Graythor Nitha) went to live in Scotland with Keith and Barbara McGowan.
As a puppy Graila had a Best puppy in Show, Reserve Best puppy in show and she also won the PUPPY OF THE YEAR which is a competition run on a knock out system by the Norwegian Elkhound club of Great Britain.
Her first challenge certificate was won at the N.E.C.G.B. Ch. show, judge being Mrs Marion Spavin.
Her second was at Richmond, judge was Mr Alex Mackenzie when he made her Best of Breed, earlier Mr Mackenzie had given her the reserve bitch Challenge certificate at Crufts.
Her third came at Driffield in 2005, judge was Mrs. Nicola Croxford.
In 2006 she won the Reserve Bitch C.C. at the W.K.C. judge was Mr. Drew Littlejohn.
Many, many thanks to these judges as this gave us our first home bred Champion.
