- Tromsø, summer 2008 -

I am Jannie Grønning, married to Bjørn Kvalheim, and living at Kvaløysletta in Tromsø.  For several years dogs has been our nr.1 hobby.  It started in the midd  80`thees with a small German Shepherd female " Zenta", bought from Erling Winther`s Dogschool at Rakkestad.  My husbond trained seek and obedience with her with great enthusiasm and success. Unfortunately and to our enormous sorrow, she day by day suffered more and more from HD!

   After a period without dogs we bought our Tibethanian Spaniel , Sara`s Emma Chantel in 2001. She is highly loved and a gorgious familydog. Because of genetic faults "Emma"  can't partisipate in shows nor breeding. So, when the wisch of this occure we bought our first black miniature schnauzer, N UCH Gregorius No Preservatives i 2005.  As you can see from her title " Sheeba"  has done very well in shows , and she is a wounderfull shadow that we hope to have for a long, long time. In latest years new dogs has arrived into the pack. A gorgious black male imported from Estland in 2007, and the first black/silver addition-a beautyful female i 2008.

     

In Kennel Kultiva we will breed miniatureschnauzers that is all in one what the to other races was separately. A big dog in a small format. Before used in breeding we do our best to assure our dogs are shown and have recent eye examination result - clear- with the offers availible at all times.  Also in breeding my education in Medical Laboratory Sciences is comming usefull. Our goal is to breed racetypically, healty and alsoe dogs used to family life. Our dogs and puppies lives with us as members of the family. But beyond this in dealing with genetics, there are no guarantiees! 

THANKS for all the trust and knowledge they have given us, and shared from their experience with this race,
