Laban

Laban was the first dog I learned to know, he was born in March 1977. He was my uncle's dog from the beginning, but he lived at grandmother's house. Through his kindness he gave me a very good hint of who a dog should be mentally. To be "gentle" to him I let once to let him decided where we should go for a walk. At the same point Laban had just finished his classes in obedience at the dog school. There was he thought that the master should show where we should go. He stands by my side and looked at my and wondered where we should go, at the same moment I had the same question...

Then Laban was about nine years old my uncle got another dog. This time he bought a rough haired dachshund called "Pricken" or just "Taxen". (Dachshund in Swedish is Tax.)

Pricken was born 26th January 1986 at Ingemar and Elsa Axelsson's home in Sölvesborg. With the dachshund's will-power he was not the easiest dog to raise. Quick as vessel ran he out the front door then some and visit grandma. One other thing he did was biting on many different things. One summer some relatives from USA came and visit us. During the breakfast one morning Pricken bite off a part from their jeans. Just to watch their faces then they discovered his "job" is something I never will forget...

Pricken was showed in conformation some times. Since he considered that was boring the result was not so good. But he was very liked a dachshund in his looks and his attitude!

I also showed him in "Wild life tracking" (traces of blood). At the first competition he decided that he was not in the right mood for tracking, we interrupted that competition. The second time it did go better. He got first prize and the judge considered that he was the best dog at this competition! In the fall he always hunts deer, and really loved it! Today he has passed the rainbow bridge.
