OUR DAUGHTER GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE! Shannon earned her Bachelor's degree in journalism and a minor in history at the University of Colorado, in a mere three-and-a-half years. She accepted her diploma in front of friends and family just 10 days after her 21st birthday, making her the youngest graduate in her senior class. We want to thank all of our wonderful extended puppy families for their congratulations, generous gifts, and well wishes.
The celebration was made extra special for us when we were able to share it with Shannon's grandfather, who flew in from Pittsburgh, our dear friends for many years who live in Boulder, and one of our friends of just under 2 years and his dog, Corinne Von Scotlynburgh. "NIKI", an amazing puppy out of our Rio and Windy litter, joined us after the ceremony for photographs, quickly stealing the spotlight and attention from the curious strangers who approached her. She was happy to show everyone her sweet and friendly disposition, making sure nobody walked away without getting at least one big kiss "hello" and "goodbye" on their face.
We couldn't be more proud of Shannon and now we all look toward a bright and successful future for her. After a completing a phenomenal magazine internship, during which she had numerous articles published including several features, we have no doubt that she has a marvelous career ahead of her. We believe she will accomplish all of her goals with the same style, grace, and tenacity she has shown throughout her life thus far. CONGRATULATIONS SHANNON...WE LOVE YOU!!!

Othello was shown at the WDA North American Sieger Show, under SV Judge Johann Mayer. He was the lone sable dog in the tremendously competitive 12-18 month male class, and placed SG11. He received a nice critique, looked terrific in the stand, and gaited wonderfully. Othello was the second highest placed sable in the entire show, finishing only behind his beautiful half sister, Joyride. THANK YOU Margit, our friend and Othello's breeder, for doing such a magnificent job handling Othello in the show ring. Without you none of this would have been possible!

Cutter Von Scotlynburgh earned his CANINE GOOD CITIZEN certificate with his owner and best friend, Vince. We could not be more proud of Vince for his faithful commitment to Cutter, training him in obedience while always finding creative ways to combine play, keeping Cutter both interested and happy. CONGRATULATIONS VINCE! Thank you (and your parents) for giving Cutter such a wonderful home. I know he is the happiest dog on the planet every weekday afternoon when he hears the brakes from your school bus squeak to a stop, and then watches from the window as you walk up to your house. You are a great kid and your mom and dad should be very proud! CONGRATULATIONS to Cutter as well, the handsome star...you made us tremendously proud!

Bronx Von Scotlynburgh, Rio Di Casa Nobili, Wizzy Von Fidelius, and Margman Othello were shown at the annual Colorado Alpine Schutzhund Club Conformation Show, under Austrian SV Judge and Kormeister Johann Zizsler. Both Rio and Wizzy placed V1, and each were given superb critiques. This was Othello's first time being shown in the United States and he made us proud, placing SG1, also receiving a splendid critique from Mr. Zizsler. Bronx (Ivan), belonging to our dear friends, Freddie and Carmen, placed SG2, in the largest class entered in the show, and among a group of very nice boys.
We wish to thank Freddie and his Schutzhund "group" from El Paso, Texas for all of their hard work preparing Rio and Ivan for this show. It was obvious to the Judge that both dogs were well trained in the ring and in impeccable physical condition.
We would also like to thank Freddie, Carmen, and their kids for taking such wonderful care of Rio during the past few months while he was living in their home with them in Texas. Your friendship is priceless...we love you!

Carrera Von Scotlynburgh was shown at the CANADIAN SIEGER SHOW in the 12-18 month class, under SV Judge Ernst Seifert. He awarded her with the top conformation show rating possible in her age group, SG, and a very nice critique, specifically commenting on her correct top and bottom line, straight front, strong head, and good expression. Presenting a dog at a Sieger Show is never easy, and the competition is unbelievable at that level. CONGRATULATIONS to both Olga and Carrera for making us so proud! The love you two share for one another is rare indeed, and the bond you have created together is unparalleled. We look forward to hearing more good news and about additional accomplishments regarding Carrera's career as she is currently training and preparing for her first working title.

Nordica was shown at the Deutscher Schaferhunde Club of San Diego
Southern Pacific REGIONAL Conformation Show, under SV Judge and
Koermeister Henning Setzer. With an impressive 111 total entries, the
6-9 females had the largest class, 15 very nice young puppies. Nordica
was the only sable puppy in her class, and after the individual exams
were completed, she was put in 4th place. During the group gaiting, she
decided it would be more fun to play and act like a silly puppy rather
than allow everyone see what she had been learning as a lovely young
show girl. Despite having a "bad day", Nordica earned a respectable
placement and her second VP rating. More importantly, Mr. Setzer gave her a
nearly flawless critique and raved about her physical beauty.
Additionally, the compliments we received about Nordica from many of the
top California breeders were both welcome and sincerely
appreciated. We also wish to thank Tessa Martinez, a wonderful junior
handler, for taking Nordica into the ring for us.

Nordica was shown in California at the Menlo Park Conformation
Show, and placed 2nd under SV Judge Wilfried Scheld. He made special
mention about how she reminded him very much of her famous
grandfather, VA Timo, and followed up with a glowing critique,
specifically commenting on her strength in gaiting the longer she ran.
Nordica earned her first VP rating, and we wish to thank Jose Jasso for
his excellent job presenting and handling her in the 6-9 month puppy
class.

Bronx von Scotlynburgh (IVAN) and Freddie didn't waste any time
making news again! They earned the first leg of Ivan's CD with an
impressive score of 189 out of 200, placing 3rd out of 14 dogs under AKC
Judge Patricia R. Krause, in Albuquerque, NM. She made special mention
about how they should have great fun getting many more titles together
because it was obvious by the way Ivan never stopped wagging his tail
during their routine that he was having lots of fun and is very eager to
please. CONGRATULATIONS to Freddie and Ivan for their outstanding
performance, and thank you for once again making us so immensely
proud! We look forward to Ivan finishing the next two legs of his CD
without a glitch.

Freddie Serrano, our dear friend, dog trainer, and owner of one of Windy's sons, Bronx von Scotlynburgh (IVAN), made us immensely proud this weekend by achieving both his USA Regional level helper status, AND BH with Ivan. Freddie and Ivan's obedience routine was nearly flawless under USA Judge Mike Hamilton at the O.G. Valencia SchH Verein in Los Lunas, New Mexico. They share a phenomenal bond, which was clearly visible to the crowd in attendance, and eagerly commented on by the judge during their outstanding critique. We have had the pleasure of watching the relationship between Freddie and Ivan evolve from animated goofy puppy and excited "dad" to ardently loyal best friends. CONGRATULATIONS to both Ivan AND Freddie for a job well done! We look forward to seeing the two of them compete again in the not so distant future. Thank you again Freddie and Ivan for making us so incredibly proud!

Von Scotlynburgh is thrilled to announce our newest imports out of 5 time VA Margman Torsten, who is arguably the best son out of VA2 Timo vom Berrekasten in the world today. Pskovland Oscha is from Russia, and Briatore Nordica and Margman Othello are both from Estonia.
We imported one black and red, and two sable puppies out of 5 time VA Margman Torsten. We had been searching for some time to find a super show line sable bloodline, but due to the consistently strong progeny for two generations, only one combination sparked our interest: VA Timo and VA Torsten.
A sincere thanks to Margit Kuusman of Kennel Margman for making this possible. After several months of email exchanges, a couple of phone calls, and many appreciated photos, the invitation to Estonia was extended and I graciously accepted. On January
31st I was greeted in Tallinn by Margit, Margman Joyride (a stunning sable Torsten daughter), and Katrin, Joyride's and Torsten's owner. I immediately felt welcome and was eager to embark on my adventure in a land so far from my home.
Margit, Katrin, and their friend Elo were phenomenal tour guides, educating me in the rich history of the Old Town, while being kind as I experienced the charm of their unique and wonderful city through the eyes (and camera) of an enthusiastic tourist. I ate fabulous Estonian and Russian food at quaint cafes, learned an Estonian word or two, and even went to a pub with Margit and Katrin for dinner and karaoke finals. Although I vowed not to eat at McDonald's, Margit and I did sneak in a Big Mac meal, but only once, and at her request.
We walked along the shoreline by the Gulf of Finland over a mixture of sand and snow while the dogs, oblivious to the frigid temperatures, frolicked in the ocean's gentle waves. I also attended show training at 9:30 in the evening, with an astonishing 25-30 dogs in attendance. Everyone was involved, remarkably supportive, and actively helping one another prepare for an upcoming show in Finland.
Thank you Margit, Katrin, and Elo for sharing your lovely city with me, and a special thanks also to Katrin (and Joyride) for inviting me to stay in their home for a week. I truly enjoyed the many hours we stayed up late drinking tea, talking, and laughing. I feel as though I made new friends during my trip to Estonia, and I'm grateful for that. I feel privileged to have visited Estonia and will cherish the memories forever.
And of course, thank you Torsten for giving us Nordica, Oscha, and Othello!

effortless.
