24.03.12 They have a great
nose! The litter of Equimark and Heegårds T Dundee is
impressive. Six of the ten puppies from the litter has been
at field trials and all of them placed - 5 with Excellent.
They will be 2 years in May and we look forward to see how
they do in the Open class in the fall. |

22.08.10 "Basse" got the
entry ticket for The Norwegian Derby! Sønnanåen's On the
Run (Sletthallens Cash/Sønnanåens Zelma Simone) got
Excellent at NESKs field trial at Kiær with no less than six
points on grouse. He is 16 months old. |
|
15.05.10 We got 10 beautiful
puppies today! We bred Heegårds T Dundee with frozen
semen after Equimark. We imported Equimark (FDSB906391 CH
Tomoka/FDSB37276 Oscar's Bronze Monel) from America in
the late 70's. Apart from doing very well at field trials
himself here in Norway he has also been one of the best
breeders through time. We hope the puppies will meet our
high expectations. |
20.06.10 Sletthallens Becham can now use the title -
Norwegian Field Trial Champion. In order to become av
field trial champion in Norway an Excellent is required from
a show in addition to the high field trial requirements.
Sletthallens Becham (Hurrycane/Cree) participated at a show
for the first time in his life the other day at the age of
10 years. He got Excellent and won the veterans class.

14.11.07 The field trials of
2007 are now behind us with many good memories! |
|
The snow has just started
falling and it is quiet here after many miles on the roads
and lots of hunting. We have enjoyed many wonderful days in
the woods, fields and mountains. Unfortunately we have not
had time to participate at as many trials as we had hoped
to, but we are pleased with the year we shortly will leave
behind us. |
| Our
own dogs have won 19 prizes this year, incl. 6 x 1.VK (Winner
class). The highligths have been: Heegårds T Dundee who
placed 4th in the final in The Danish English Setter Clubs
spring trial and no. 3 in the Danish Derby; Sletthallens
Cash placed 1st on the 1st and 2nd day of The Norwegian
Winter Championships (200 dogs total) and placed 1st, 6th
and 4th under The Norwegian Pheasant & Partridge
Championship (160 dogs total; Sletthallens Becham made a
good impression at the winter trials at Hovden placing 1st
the first day and 2nd w/Res.CACIT in the finals. |

Skillfull and enthusiastic
buyers of our puppies and breeders who have used some of our
males have resulted in a total of 55 prizes this year for
Kennel Sletthallen (23 youth, 12 open, 22 winner class). It
was a great end of the season when Jon Nesheim won the Forus
Open with Finnvellens Luna (ex Sletthallens Cash).
Congratulations with all your good results. |
| When it comes to the results of
breeding we have enjoyed watching all the young dogs this
year. Sletthallens Cash's offsprings have won 10 x 1.UK (with
three different bitches) and it's been 6 x 1.UK after
Sletthallens Ranger and two different bitches.

We wish to thank our friends and
aquaintances for many memorable days in the woods, fields
and mountains - hunting, training and competing. A special
thanks to Jette and Jørgen Heegård who offered Heegårds T
Dundee the possibilities to compete in Denmark and brought
her to the top each time! |
|
02.09.07 Puppies after
Sletthallens Cash are growing up! This season five
offsprings after Sletthallens Cash have a total of 13 prizes.
They have all placed 1st and have therefore qualified for
the Norwegian Derby. Folgefonnas Hedda and -Robbie's dam is
Sletthallens Punky, Østheia's Eend Jagter and -Out O'Cash's
dam is Østheia's Out O'Touch and last, but not least,
Finnvellens Luna's dam is Fosens Ylva. We wish owners and
dogs the best for the big trials towards the end of the
season. |

04.07 The Norwegian Winter
Championship 2007! 200 dogs braved the weather at
Andøya, north in Norway, this year to compete for the title.
Sletthallens Cash placed 1st under the qualifications on the
first day - the only one that found grouse this day. In the
semifinals on the second day he placed 1st again.
Unfortunately, he did not have any finds in the finals.
However, he has had a great winter season with 3 x 1.VK. |
|
03.07 Sletthallens Becham had a great weekend! At the
winter trials at Hovden he placed 1st in the semifinals and
2nd in the finals with res.CACIT competing against 60 dogs. |
03.07 A great start for the winter trials!

12.06 The year 2006 has been
a good one for Kennel Sletthallen!
Dogs from Kennel Sletthallen have 34 placements this
year (7 youth-, 10 open- and 17 in the Champion or Winner
class). In addition to our own dogs that have done well this
high number of good placements would not be possible without
the outstanding work done by buyers of our puppies. We wish
to thank and congratulate all of you for the great
results. |
09.06 Harold Ray and Bonafide
- The Hall of Fame.
It was with great pleasure we were advised through
American Field that Harold Ray and Bonafide were elected to
the prestigous Hall of Fame. We sent in our votes earlier
this year and were quite confident of the outcome.
Harold can show to results
most of us will only dream of. Those who know him will know
that he has a very special touch with both dogs and horses -
he hardly ever needs to raise his voice and still has their
respect and adoration. It is a treat watching him work his
dogs. Furthermore, he has been very successful with his
breeding program. The latter is very much the reason for
Kennel Sletthallen's success over the past 30 years. We will
always be grateful for the good dogs Harold has sent us and
his sound advise. |
06.06 NJCH Sletthallens Cash can now add two new titles to
his name!
In june he obtained the Norwegian Kennel Club's (NKK)
certificate at NKK's international dog show. As he already
had a certificate from Sweden he is now both norwegian and
swedish show champion in addition to his old field trial
champion title |
 |
03.06 Cousins abroad!
We wish to congratulate Harold Ray and Smarty Smith with
fantastic results in United States Quail Shooting Dog
Futurity which took place in January in North Carolina. 84
of the countries finest shooting dog Derbies were drawn to
compete from a duly nominated field of 100. Smarty Smith
(ex. Private Ryan/Blew by You) placed 2nd. Smarty was a
bird-finding star - with 4 finds and 2 unproductive. This
will be a dog to watch in the years to come. Here in Norway
we have the sister of Private Ryan (Shine On) and the
brother of Blew by You (Cree). We are also very pleased with
these blood lines. |

02.06 Andalucia, Spain
We went to Jerez,Spain in February to experience the
Grand Quette dogs, which we had heard so much about, for the
first time. We were not disappointed. There were some
fantastic dogs such as Big Jim and Rambo to mention a few.
It is easy to understand how highly valued these type of
trials are with the wonderful terrain you find in Andalucia
- endless. In Norway where the practical hunter rules and
the terrain is mainly rather rugged it is more effective
with the Grand Chasse dogs. However, it was a wonderful
experience seeing the best of these dogs. Members of The
International Setter Club were, as always helpful. A special
thanks to Mr. Roberto Pedrazetti who arranged for us to
accompany the judges and Mrs.Ilona Joustra-Vermoolen who
helped us with the language barrier. |
02.06 The bronze winner!
Last oktober a protest was made in regards to the points
obtained by Norway and Holland. The final change of results
is now official. Norway and Holland shared 3.place and
Sweden was no.4 |

10.05 The 27th World
Championship 2005
This year the World Championships were held at Vildbjerg,
Denmark. The terrain was beautiful moors which some years
ago was the home of black cocks. Unfortunately these birds
are extinct there today and the game bird for the trials
were grey legged partridge. |
Norway entered The World
Championships for the very first time. Primarily we went to
Denmark to observe, learn and meet new people with the same
interest in pointing dogs as ourselves. Like many others, we
were surprised that Great Britain had not entered any
British dogs - only Continental.
The FCI rules are very different from what we are used to
and we also understood speed and style was just as important
as finding game. The dogs were to flush the birds while
walking alongside handlers leg.In Norway we prefer dogs that
flush hard on command. |

However, the judges let us flush
as we liked as long as they were told beforehand what type
of flush it would be. Another special requirement for The
World Championships was that the dogs had to water retrieve
a duck.
Our team consisted of three English Pointers (Fugledes
Venus/Ob's XL/ Setpoints Fun) and one English Setter, our
own, Sletthallens Cash. Among 19 nations Norway placed 4th.
Needless to say, we were very happy |
| We saw many very
good dogs during our stay. However, when it comes to finding
game it was noticeable how good the Nordic (Sweden, Finland,
Denmark, Norway) dogs were. However, not all of them took
care of their chances. We believe much of this is due to
that all Nordic pointing dogs are used actively during the
hunting season - it's part of our culture. While many
of the participants from the other nations only used their
dogs for trials. Furthermore, when breeding so much for
speed and style has this happened at the expence of a good
nose? |
