Til minde om Zeppo.

Hvem var Zeppo
Zeppo var en Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever født på kennel Happy Hunting Ground i Hjørring den 16. arpil 2003 sammen med sine tre søskende.

Mor: Tolling Indians´Zenta Two Stars

Far: Shaggy Toller´s Flying Flacon.

Happy Hunting Ground Flying Zeppo, var hans fulde navn.

Zeppo kom til familien som en familiehund, kontakten til Tollerklubben fandt vi via internettet og kom i kontakt med Toll Nord – vores lokale afdeling af Tollerklubben.

Zeppos karriere (Trænede med min mor Marianne)
Vi begyndte at komme til den ugentlige træning i Hjørring og der talte man om LP (Lydigheds Prøve) konkurrencer og udstilling – det blev vi så nødt til at finde ud af hvad det gik ud på.
Vi trænede op til DM for Tollere og vandt i 2005 kl. 1; herligt.
Vi trænede videre og kom gennem kl. 2 og en del gang i kl. 3 hvor vi endte.
Derudover trænede Zeppo og min mor, Marianne i hundetjenesten ved Beredskabscenter Aalborg. Zeppo blev godkendt redningshund i efteråret 2007. Han deltog også i DM for redningshunde.

Sammen med Zeppo har vi haft mange super dejlige timer.

Til sidst
Vi valgte at give Zeppo fred den 12. marts 2012 – efter et lille års tid hvor han har været smertepåvirket med gigt i ryg og højre bagben.

Nu er ønsket, at denne lille model af en Toller skal verden rundt. Omkring Tollerens hjemsted – Nova Scotia i Canada og retur til Danmark.

Æret være Zeppos minde.

In loving memory of Zeppo

Who was Zeppo?
Zeppo was a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever born at the kennel Happy Hunting Ground in Hjoerring, Denmark, on 16 April 2003 along with his three siblings.

Mother: Tolling Indians´ Zenta Two Stars

Father: Shaggy Toller´s Flying Flacon.

Happy Hunting Ground Flying Zeppo was Zeppos full name.

Zeppo came to the family as a family dog; we established contact to the Toller Club through the internet and found Toll North – our local department of the Toller Club.

Zeppos career (Trained with my mother, Marianne)
We started going to the weekly training in Hjoerring where there was talk about OT (Obedience Test) contests and dog shows – of course we had to find out what that was all about.
We trained up till the Danish Championship for Tollers and won in 2005 class 1; fantastic.
We kept training and made it through class 2 and entered class 3 a few times, where we ended.
In addition to that Zeppo and I trained in the dog service at the Emergency Management Center Aalborg. Zeppo was approved as a rescue dog in the fall of 2007. We also participated in the Danish Championship for rescue dogs.

Together with Zeppo we have had many fantastic hours.

At the end
On 12 Marc 2012 we chose to give Zeppo peace - after almost a year whit gout in the back and right hind leg.

Now we wish for this small model of a Toller to travel around the world. To visit the home of Tollers – Nova Scotia in Canada and return to Denmark.

Glory be the memory of Zeppo.
