It is now over 35 years since
Kennel Sletthallen was founded and we imported our first
American dogs.
We have continually worked at
improving bloodlines. Several English Setters have been
imported at regular intervals throughout the years and
the effects of interbreeding have been outstanding.
The first American dogs who came to this country often
roamed too far and were not always easily trained. Nowadays we have created a bloodline
which suits our temperament and our terrain. Several
dogs have also done well in the show-ring.
In 2005 we participated in International trials
for the first time as some of our dogs had qualified for
The World Championship and The European Cup. Primarly we
looked forward to seeing dogs from other countries and
meeting people with the same passion for pointing dogs
as ourselves. The type of trial and rules are very
different from the Norwegian grouse trials in the
mountains. However, we were very pleased that one of our
dogs, Sletthallens Cash, also made a good impression for
foreign judges. During our stay he got prizes four days
- 3xTres Bon and 3. excellence. Cash was also on the
Norwegian team which placed third in the World
Championship.
