CRUFTS BEST OF BREED 2008


GB Swedish, Finnish, Norwegian Ch Diotima Sea Wolf at Ramsgrove JW
Our outstanding Tolly, co-owned with the Swedish Farmarens Kennel, won the Veteran Class and BOB at Crufts 2008. This superb Beardie was expertly handled by Ulrica Goransson. Ulrica had steered Tolly to his Scandinavian titles during his six month stay in Sweden in 2007. Tolly has made just two appearances in the UK show ring since his return home in September, winning CC and BOB on both occasions to bring his total to 20 tickets. His many wins include six BIS awards at club championship level. He is a once in a lifetime dog with a unflappable, easy going nature that makes him a great ambassador for the breed.

Ramsgrove's Harry Hedgehog
We found Harry in our garden on September 23rd. He was cold and dehydrated and weighed just 100g. We feared he would die but brave Harry put up a big fight and is now doing well. He is too small to hibernate so will stay with us until Spring. You can follow his progress on Harry's Page.
