Woff, I am Yatzie!
In memoriam: 11 April 2007 - 2 Dec 2021
With every breath I miss you my darling.
Woff. I am Yatzie. Or Luddelumps Ester, which was the name my first mommy gave me. I am a Barbet, a French waterdog. You can follow me and my daughter Moët's adventures on my blog!
Here is a short resumé of my life: I was born in April, 2007, in Boden, Sweden but moved to Stockholm after only 8 weeks. Uh, I still remember the journey... scary, but then I was fine in my new home in Danderyd. My mommy is Elisabeth and I have a big loving family and many friends.
What I like the most in this world is to run after rabbits - but mum does not allow me to. (But when she is not looking I do it anyway!) So now we do hunting training instead. I am quite good at other things too, like rally obedience, and agility. Not to forget how much I like the water but also to just be lazy and cuddle, near the ones I love.
Some years ago we started to go back and forth to Holland, where my new daddy comes from. We live in Holland all the time now. I have new friends and love to chase the ducks in the Dutch canals - mom is not as angry then, as in the case of rabbits...
In February 2014 I had 10 Angel puppies! In 2011 I also had 10 Champagne bubble puppies to take care of! Moët, the sweetest of them all, I asked to stay here with me! She is my very best friend now. She is now 4 years old and had her first puppies The Miracle litter in September 2015! That was so exciting! She appreciates some help from me, so I layed with her in the puppy box and taught her how to take care of the little puppies!
Nice that you found me here, and if you want to know more about me and my daughter Moët just look around here on my very own website! Woff, woff / Yatzie
