Rally Obedience 07.05.2022
It's been a long time since we last competed in Rally Obedience! Both Acme and Blizz had their debut in grade 2 in 2020, and they both got a first price with promotion to grade 3.
1,5 years later we entered a competition again.
Blizz won grade 2 with 200 out of 200 points. She got directly qualified for grade 3, and her second first price towards a title.
Acme got a third place in grade 2 with 197 out of 200 points. She also got directly qualified for grade 3, and also her second first price towards a title.
Hopefully they will both get their last first price towards their title on the next competition, and we can start training towards grade 3 which they are already qualified for!
FANTASTIC AGILITY RESULTS FOR ACME
25.02.2022, 26.02.2022 & 27.02.2022
Acme "debuted" in agility after her first litter. It was her first time in the new hight class, where she can jump on 40-50 cm jumps instead of the previous class with 50-60 cm jumps.
AND WHAT A DIFFERENCE FOR HER!!!
We have really struggled with the jumps earlier. Lots of very good runs with just small mistakes like a dropped bar, giving us 5 faults and no promotion for higher grades in agility.
But this weekend she ran ALL runs CLEAN!! She therefore got 5 CLEAN runs, with promotion for the next class and (icing on the cake) she also won all of the classes.
That means she is now ready for grade 3 in jumping, and grade 2 in agility.
Our C-litter have arrived!
Look up the litter for any information about the parents and our C-Litter
ACME IS PREGNANT!
Acme is finally confirmed pregnant by ultrasound! Look up the litter for any information about the parents and our future C-Litter!

03.11.2019 Agility competition
We had a lovely time at our first agility competition since Norway was on lock down because of the unknow dog disease.
I think both Acme and Blizz were happy that the break was over, because I can surely say they gave it all at this
competition.
Blizz got a second place in jumping, with promotion to class 2! Her agilityrun was also fantastic, but sadly a bar dropped right before the finish line. Otherwise she would have gotten a podium placement at this run aswell.
Acme had two great runs with so much power. Sadly, she got one disq in agility and 5 faults in jumping.
PUPPY MEETING 02.11.2019
We had our first puppy meeting for the B-litter in the beginning of November. 4 out of 7 puppies could make it this time - and we had a fabulous time together. So nice to see all of them develop the way I was hoping for. They are energetic, easy
going and lovely to train.
We spent the day training some obedience and puppy-agility exercises, going for a walk and socializing around the campfire eating lunch.
THANKS FOR A LOVELY DAY TO MY ILLIZIT FAMILY!!!

1x Nordic & 2x International Dog Shows Vejen 20.06.2019-23.06.2019
We traveled to Denmark for a long midsummer weekend with dogshows and great company. We absolutely love Denmark in the summer both the lovely beaches, nice weather and ice cream. It always feels like a holiday, and not so much a competition weekend. I also adore the danish people and our lovely friends over there. They are so welcoming and hospitable that I wish we could stay longer every time.
Since Blizz had puppies recently she was not entered in the shows, but she came with us regardless for the trip. Acme was our only dog entered at the show, and our main hope was to collect two CC`s during the weekend to fullfill her Champion title.
I think she showed herself with great professionality-
and I absolutely LOVE to run with her in the ring! She is a sweetheart, but she has so much power aswell. The two first days of the show weekend was not our best when it comes to results. She was blaced as number 3 both days - and I am a bit surprised
about that! The last day was more exciting. The Australian judge loved her to bits, and she awarded her with one of the two CC`s we came for. I am so happy and proud of my little girl!
We will surely come back to Denmark and fight for her last CC - but also for the opportunity to meet good friends and eat lots of good food!
Rally-Obedience 10.06.19
Acme did me proud once again. Only her second Rally-Obedience competition, and I have to say it has been minimal with Rally training since her last time, but she still managed to get a podium placement with 200 out of 200 points. The winner was only
2 seconds faster then us.
Now we only need one more first price and she will have a brand new title to her name ;)
Rally-Obedience and International Champion
Acme attended her first Rally-Obedience competition (28.04.2019). She has never been trained for this, but know basic obedience. It was the first time for both of us.
We managed to get a 1.price, and our first step towards grade 2 (and a title)!! She is just super-awesome this one.
We also got our diploma, and mail from FCI the other day, that her INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION title is approved officially. She is officially an Internation Champion!!!!
TOP WINNING BORDER COLLIE 2018
Once again, one of my dogs brings home the status of TOP WINNING BORDER COLLIE IN NORWAY. Acme is the winner this year!!!
Since Norway have very strict rules regarding shows for Border Collie, we can not participate at very many during the year (unfortunately). Nevertheless, we enjoy the ones we can enter, and even more the fact that we managed to get this title once again :D
Balancing all the activities we enter during the year is both hard and super fun. We have finally started to become more active in the agility competitions again, and I will promise you that we will be even more active in 2019.
Norwegian Open 2018
One of the most exciting agility happenings in Norway during the year is the Norwegian Open! This year it was arranged right after the World Championship in Sweden, therefore many competitors from all over the world took the trip to Kongsvingerhallen and the moose hunt at NO. It is well known that the most wanted price at NO is the moose-teddybears you get if you win, or get a placement near the top.
NO for us is maybe the greatest competition we can participate at. Artificial grass is what my girls like to run on the most, and the courses and judges we get at the competition is top notch. To run Open runs with 200-300 other large dogs, including world champions and "celebrities" in the agility world is a feeling you can't get tired of.
This year I got to run with both Acme and Blizz. Acme took care of all open runs Friday including all official runs Saturday and Sunday. While Blizz got to run official runs Saturday and Sunday. The feeling we ran with this weekend is beyond any other competition we have run together as a team. The flow we managed to chare, and the elements we conquered together I am very proud of.
Blizz ran two clean runs, both in Agility (she is now finally ready for grade 2), one jumping run with only one bar down, and one disqualified run (but a very nice disq). Acme ran one clean run and the rest was with only some bars down.
The most amazing feeling was standing on the FIRST and SECOND place in the same agility run with both of my girls!! If you want to see our runs on video, you can find them on youtube ;)

Training with Acme on sheeps
14.07.2018-15.07.2018
ILLIZIT ATTAIN THE ACME OF IDEAL
For the first time ever I have participated at a herding class with Acme. It was sooo much fun, and went much better than expected. It was amazing to see when she understood her tasks and we got to communicate and work together to move the sheeps. I will continue to train her on sheeps from now on, and have already signed us up for another class when summer ends this year!!
01.06.2018-03.06.2018 Norwegian Championship Agility
Entering both of my girls at the Norwegian Championship competition in agility was a fantastic experience. The event was so well organized and we enjoyed every minute of it. We were 5 dogs and three girls on tour, camping in a tent the whole weekend.
Both Acme and Blizz were entered in agility 1 and jumping 1, but Acme did so good she qualified for the finals on sunday. She got to run two more runs where one of them was a CLEAN RUN and the other one was a disqualification..
Nevertheless, Acme got one fifth place in Agility and one third place in the final jumping run. Blizz got a fifth place in jumping 1.
A great weekend with amazing friends!
Roskilde 11.05.2018-13.05.2018
An amazing weekend in Denmark is over. Both Acme and Blizz was supposed to participate, but since Blizz lost all of her coat before the show I decided to just show Acme.

Acme had to travel with her grandmother and grandfather to the exhibition in Kristiansand, because I was at home with the flu. They got supricingly great results.
Illizit Attain The Acme Of Ideal "Acme" became best bitch, BEST OF BREED w/CACIB, and got this amazing critique:
Judge Linda Kjeksrud
"22 months, excellent type. Exceptional. Feminine head and expression. Beautiful and well-cut head. Dark eyes. Well-placed and
well worn ears. Correct bite. Sufficient throat and neck. Adequate body. Well-formed chest with good depth. Well-tanned and well-worn tail. Excellent fur and color. Moves with good drive, easy and energetic "
08.03.18 CRUFTS
JAYDEAN NICE GUY EDDIE
Our annual trip to Crufts in England was just as good, if not better than previous years. This was my 10th year anniversary at the greatest dog show in the world. We could not go through that
trip without a run on the green carpet to celebrate.
I have a special friend in England. The owner of Blizz's brother, Eddie. She was kind enough to let me show Eddie once again at Crufts. Our first time together was in 2016, and now 2 years
later I got to meet him again. For me, Crufts is something extraordinary. To stand in the middle of the ring to show your dog for the judge, surrounded by many other competitors and people outside the ring watching as an audience. It is almost impossible to
describe the feeling. For me at least.
We had no expectations before we entered. First of all, Eddie and I have only met twice with only a few hours to bond before we entered the ring. Second of all, the competition is HIGH!!!!
But, we had a fabulous day. We enjoyed each others company and worked well together once again. After the individual evaluation, we got shortlisted to the last five dogs out of a class of 26. AND GOT PLACED AS 3rd IN LIMIT DOG. We were over the moon happy,
and so proud of our partnership.
Love you, Eddie and Sandra

We came all the way to Fredericia Denmark in hope for a CAC and/or a CACIB! Blizz won the open class, and became second best bitch behind a junior girl. We did not get any CAC, but because the winner was a junior we got the CACIB luckily :D One more and she is an international show champion !!!
22.11.17 DogArena
Since Acme is still a youngster, she got to compete in something called a "blueberry competition" in Agility. The competition lasted over several weeks, so they called it a blueberry cup.
First competition: she disqualified both runs
Second competition: she ended up winning and got herself qualified for the grand finale
Third competition: she ended up in second place
And at the big finale, she won it all!! We won a personal training session in the DogArena hall
- and fame and glory ;)

Puppy Gathering
WE HAVE HAD OUR FIRST PUPPY MEETUP!! Blizz's babies were all invited to play, train and have fun together the 11th of September. First we went for a short walk where they got to run and play together in the fields. After lunch the puppies had to show off what they know regarding obedience, trix and recalls in an unofficial competition. At last we went through the basics of groundrules within shows.
I am so proud of my Bolek x Blizz litter. They are super cute, super happy, super active and super lovable!! Can not wait to watch them grow up to become adult dogs! Thanks to all owners for the great job you do with them!
Hugs and kisses from sister Acme and mother Blizz!
