Totte is now an older veteran. He doesn't seem to have noticed it himself. He is still dancing around like a youngster, but he can also be the worlds coolest. He meets the world with a smile, and it's impossible not to love him.
Totte was born in the last litter at the legendary kennel Keshar. He started his show career by taking the cc in tough competition under the judge Brenda Banbury at SKK Jönköping as a young junior in the fall 1994. After that he participated in just a few shows in Sweden. In 1997 he moved to Norway where he was shown a few times during 1998. That fall he was injured rather badly and was partially paralysed for some days. Thanks to luck and good veterinarians he was able to move around almost as normal after just a few weeks. Summer 2000 he made his comeback in the show rings with his dancing movements and won three cc's in four shows.
Due to an injury in fall 2003 we haven’t shown him any more.
His biggest advantages are his wonderful head, strong back, dancing movements and lovely temperament.
