Read about our visit & successes in Stockholm 2008 at the Circuit & World Shows

When we saw that the World Show in 2008 was to be held in Sweden we decided that we had to go.  Sweden is the homeland of the Hamiltonstövare.  Normally we do not show on the continent - but this time the judges were true breed specialists and we knew there would be some stiff competition!

We had a superb time in Stockholm & must thank our host, Allan.  Their cottage, Sågengård, was superb and in the most beautiful surroundings.  The hounds most certainly enjoyed their walks in the woods, and swims in the lake, as did we.

I have put some photos here & if you follow this link, you can find the World Dog Show results:  World Dog Show Results
