On Dogs4ALL Show this weekend the Prize will be given to Aud Jorun and Helge Lie for a place in their home  - if there is room for more.

Aud Jorun and Helge have a house full of trophies, ribbons and a lot of prizes they have received at numerous dog shows since 1971. Helge also has a wall with honors from work as a judge at dog shows, where the judging of Europe's largest show, Crufts in England, is the biggest. -We had our first litter in 1971. We looked at different breeds to begin with, but it had to be Shetland Sheepdog, says Aud Jorun.

Champions and puppies
At home in Blåkollen both Paris, Toya and Flynn are running around in the living room. In a separate room there is a bitch with three 14 days old puppies. The father of the puppies is British. They "only" have the first three dogs mentioned in the house, but they also have some on breeding terms by friends, and these they borrow when going to shows.
- We will not have so many dogs at home, we have after all, neighbors. But we have a large yard of 2 acres it is fenced in, so the dogs can run free in the garden, says Helge. They have not counted how many they have bred, but 56 of their dogs have achieved certificates. A total of 31 have been champions.

Occupation and Hobby
Aud Jorun has also had dogs as a profession for 25 years as editor of Hundesport. Helge have in addition to the judging been the chairman of Norsk Kennel Klub for years. This weekend 26.11.11. it will be an international exhibition where Norsk Kennel Klub will hand out NKK Breeder Prize 2011.
