SHILA
Shila, born January 1996, is a breton. A breton is a small spaniel, but really more like a setter. It is a very clever and keen hunting dog, but also a kind and practical family dog. Read more about breton here: http://www.thebreedsofdogs.com/BRITTANY_DOGS.htm For norwegian readers: www.breton.no
Shila has been my friend and hunting-mate for nearly ten years, and we have shared many unforgettable experiences together. "The meaning of life" for here is to find ptarmigans, or "rype" as we say in norwegian. Every autumn we go hunting in the mountains around Tromsø, and every time she makes a "stand" I can feel my heart beating faster and my right finger gets eager to pull the trigger. But; We do not go hunting to kill, our motivation is to have a nice dinner for X-mas and maybe a couple of dinners with the family during th winter. Plus beautiful nature advetures. Our kids love rype, especially the heart.
Shila is getting older.... Expected liftetime is appr. 13 years, and I have to start planning what to do the day Shila can`t go hunting anymore. One thing is for sure; My next dog will be a breton!
