Osuno Swedish Vallhunds

07/02/2024

A little behind everyone else with our Dogz Online results for 2023 but here they are!

⚔️NZ Champion Osuno Battle Born (ai)⚔️

Could not be prouder of what Bowie has achieved not only for me but the records he is breaking for the breed in New Zealand.

Bowie is now the first ever Multi Best in Group winning Swedish Vallhund in NZ!! 🎊

Closely followed by his grandfather Swedish & NZ Champion Svedala Linus Lingon (imp Swed) who was the first and only other Vallhund ever to win a Best in Group in NZ.

This year is already off to a cracking start with Bowie taking a Best in Group (Group 1st) at his only weekend out so far. I can't wait to see what this wee man achieves in 2024!!

Years of hard work and more $$ importing lines than I'd like to think about are behind this special boy. But I didn't do it alone, I'd like to thank the breeders & owners abroad who generously shared their precious lines, hard work and dedication that came together and made Bowie possible 💜

Well done Nitro! Couldn't be prouder 💜
