The activity committee, read Nina, had really been creative this year and came up with a lot of fun and at first the game kubb was plaid, the laughter sat loose and you can safely say it was a big success.

This year we had the gathering on Lill and Arve`s farm so we could have our things and everything in one place and did not need to move around and that was lovely, a big thank you to Lill and Arve and their two monkey-girls.

Linn made delicious pizza to all of us and we ate and enjoyed ourselves and the conversation was lively around the table.

AFFENPINSCHER GATHERING 18-17th June 2011
Norways first affenpinscher gathering and it was a successful gathering in every way. This is something we will continue to do every year forward now.
Friday 17th June and I put the dogs in the car and we drove down to Larkollen.
I, Eva, Geir, Ann Jorunn and our dogs borrowed Jacinto and Linn`s cabin for the weekend so we had only 5 minutes to drive to Rygge bygdetun where the gathering would be.
Before we drove to the cabin we walked the dogs in Linn and Jacinto`s place and afterwards we had a lovely Spanish omelet made by Linn.
Saturday 18th June We got up early in the morning and walked the dogs, ate breakfast and drove off to the place where the gathering would be.
It was a nice and big area we had borrowed and perfect for us and all the dogs.
People started to arrive at 08.30 and it came many people and dogs, 30 affenpinschere came, 1 Spanish waterdog, 1 griffon, 1 golden retriver and of course all their owners :)
Linn Berenguer (Kennel El Nuciero) started to welcome everyone and then procedeed with a puppy training/beginner course. I was one of the pupils there and must say that although I have had dogs for many years and are a breeder that you never learn to much. I felt I learned a few things and had many aha experiences, great performed by Linn.
After Linn`s training Ellinor Gustafson (Kennel Gustoff) had ring training with us and as always when I am on her training`s I learn something new and useful. I also got feedback from the others that this was both fun and educational.
Anne Cecilie Andersen (Kennel Smutic) told us and showed us a little about the benefits and use of the clicker. I bought a clicker and will now start to use what I learned with my dogs.
