Hei, og velkommen til vår hjemmeside! Vi heter Torild og Ole Josef Lybekk og bor landlig til 5 mil nordøst for Oslo. Vi har vokst opp med hunder begge to, og da vi giftet oss i 1986 var det en selvfølge med hunder i vårt felles hjem.
Gjennom årenes løp har vi hatt harehund, japansk spets, og en blandingshund. Felles for disse tre var en vanskelig start på livet, men med tid og masse kjærlighet ble de til flotte familiehunder vi alltid vil huske med glede. Ved siden av disse har vi alltid hatt papillon. Da vi mistet den siste ble ønsket om en chihuahua større og større. I januar 2001 fikk vi ønsket vårt oppfyllt og vi kunne hente hjem vår første og meget etterlengtede chihuahuagutt fra Kennel Rossanty. (Pamela Steineger)
Siden den gang har flere chihuahuaer blitt en del av familien og tanken om oppdrett har vokst fram. Etter nøye planlegging kjøpte vi vår første jente fra Kennel Dyrdal sommeren 2005. Våre hunder lever sammen med oss som kjære familiemedlemmer, og slik vil vi at det skal fortsette å være. Vi ønsker oss et lite oppdrett i hjemmemiljø hvor gleden over å avle fram sunne og friske valper med godt gemytt er viktigere enn antall valper. Vi er medlemmer av NKK og Chihuahuaringen via NMKH.
Hi, welcome to our website! We are Torild and Ole Josef Lybekk and we live in the beautiful countryside, 31 mils north of Oslo. We have both had dogs growing up, and when we got married in 1986 it was only natural to have dogs together in our new home.
Through the years we have had a huntingdog, a japanese spitz and a mixed breed. Common for theese three dogs were that they has a hard start on life, but with time, effort and a lot of love they all changed into wonderful familydogs that we always will remember with pleasure. Besides theese three dogs, we have had papillon. When our last papillon past away, our wish for chihuahua grew bigger and bigger. In January 2001 our wish became true as we brought home our very first and longed for chihuahua boy from Kennel Rossanty. (Mrs Pamela Steineger)
Since then more chihuahuas have become part of our family and tought of breeding has grown. After careful planning we bought our first chihuahua girl from Kennel Dyrdal the summer of 2005. Our dogs are living together with us as dear familymembers and that is how we want it to be. We wish to have a small breed in a loving home enviroment where the joy of raising healthy, sound puppies with exellent temperament confirming the breed is more important than the quantity.
We are members of the Norwegian Kennel Klub and Norwegian Miniatyre Club.
Vår gode venn siden 1994. Roy er en stor del av livet . Derfor er det naturlig at han får en presentasjon. Takk for at du alltid er der og hjelper oss når vi trenger det!
Our good friend since 1994. Roy is an important part of our life. Thank you for always helping us out!
We have both completed part one of The Norwegian Kennel Klub's Breeding School:
A Breeder is one who sacrifices personal interests, finances, time, friendships, fancy furniture, and deep pile carpeting! She gives up the dreams of a long, luxurious cruise in favor of turning that all important Show into this years "vacation".
A Breeder goes without sleep (but never without coffee!) in hours spent planning a breeding or watching anxiously over the birth process, and afterwards, over every little sneeze, wiggle or cry.
A Breeder skips dinner parties because that litter is due or the babies have to be fed at eight. She disregards birth fluids and puts mouth to mouth to save a gasping newborn, literally blowing life into a tiny, helpless creature that may be the culmination of a lifetime of dreams.
A Breeders lap is a marvelous place where generations of proud and noble champions once snoozed.
A Breeders hands are strong and firm and often soiled, but ever so gentle and sensitive to the thrusts of a puppy’s wet nose.
A Breeders back and knees are usually arthritic from stooping, bending, and sitting in the birthing box, but are strong enough to enable the breeder to Show the next choice pup to a Championship.
A Breeders shoulders are stooped and often heaped with abuse from competitors, but they’re wide enough to support the weight of a thousand defeats and frustrations.
A Breeders arms are always able to wield a mop, support an armful of puppies, or lend a helping hand to a newcomer.
A Breeders ears are wondrous things, sometimes red (from being talked about) or strangely shaped (from being pressed against a phone receiver), often deaf to criticism, yet always fine-tuned to the whimper of a sick puppy.
A Breeders eyes are blurred from pedigree research and sometimes blind to her own dog’s faults, but they are ever so keen to the competitions faults and are always searching for the perfect specimen.
A Breeders brain is foggy on faces, but it can recall pedigrees faster than an IBM computer. It’s so full of knowledge that sometimes it blows a fuse: it catalogues thousands of good bonings, fine ears, and perfect heads...and buries in the soul the failures and the ones that didn’t turn out.
A Breeders heart is often broken, but it beats strongly with hope everlasting... and it’s always in the right place! Oh, yes, there are breeders, and then, there are BREEDERS!!
