~ 2008 - In Review ~

Indian Hill's A Beautful Lie
"Freeze" as we call her, has an unusual registered name with signficant meaning. A group called 30 Seconds to Mars did a song called "A Beautiful Lie". The video was filmed in the Arctic Circle and used to spread the message about the importance of Climate Protection and the deterioration of the pole, how quickly the ice is melting and how it is conceiveable that in our lifetime, the Polar Bears will be no more. Please visit this website and learn some easy ways to help. For Example, if everyone took 30 seconds to inflate their tires to the proper pressure, we could save TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND barrels of oil a DAY.

In the summer of 2008,
I traveled to Stockholm Sweden to attend the World Dog Show.
It was fantastic and
we are very proud of AKC/CKC/SUCH CH Indian Hill's Blizzard of Oz for placing 4th best Champion Male
at the exhibition!
What a great honor! |

Thank you to my friends Jan Herngren and
Svend Eric Lobben for making this a trip

We then traveled to Germany where I guest judged under FCI breeder judge, Jan Herngren!
I cannot express my gratitude to the DCBS for
allowing me this exceptional opportunity.

and the club for making me feel so very welcome!

I am deeply indebted to Betsy and Robert In de Braek and Daniel Scheffer of Bernice Love Kennel for picking us up at the airport in Germany and hosting us in style for 4 days. In addition to touring Germany, the In de Braeks gave us a whirlwind tour of Holland ! On the last day of our visit, Robert drove us to Belgium to visit Ivan and Suzan Delrue of Stokerybos Kennel ! The brunch was more than I ever expected, the wine was devine and the Belgian chocolate was only surpassed by the SPECTACULAR Berners of Stokerybos!
Thank you, Ivan, Susan and son!!!
