When "Skinny" was gone, the raven-black bitch "Cilla" - SBIS Swed Ch Baldrey Fairy Story, entered our lives. "Michael" and "Cilla" were both bred by Mrs Jackie White, Baldrey Whippets & Greyhounds, England.

I started thinking about breeding "Cilla" and our first litter was born in November 1995, as the result of an insemination with frozen semen from the U.S., by Eng Am Ch Hubbestad Double Magic, JC, born in England, but living in the U.S.. The result was the red brindle bitch "Nellie" - Nordic Swed Norw Fin Ch Another Story Magic Moment.

"Cilla's" second litter was born in February 1998, sired by the handsome Int Swed Ch Hickory's Nauticus (later exported to France). From this litter I kept two blue brindle siblings; "Norton" - Swed Fin Ch Another Story Jay Gatsby and his sister "Tessan" - Swed Ch Another Story Tess Durbeyfield. Their black brother "Oliver" - Another Story Oliver Twist, went to live with my sister Annika Karlsson.

In May 2002, our third litter was born - "Nellie" was bred to the red dog Sobers Zacchary. From this litter I kept a bitch, "Ofelia" - Norw Swed Ch Another Story Miracle Moment, who is owned in partnership with Siw Tonje Bjerkelund. "Ofelia" lived with her in Norway, but since the sunmmer of 2007 she is back with me and Peter!!

In the summer of 2005, we had two litters. The first one - with a singleton puppy - was born in June out of "Tessan", by the young red brindle Finnish male Fin Est Ch Kimsar Feel The Fire.

Our fifth litter was born in August by his sire, BIS Int Am Fin Est Swed Ch FinW-02-04 NordW-03 BaltW-06 Windrock Fernando. The dam of this litter was "Ofelia" and the litter was born and bred in Norway at "Ofelia's" co-owner Siw Tonje Bjerkelund's. She and her partner Bjørnar Westmo, did a fantastic job. From this litter I co-own "Klara" - Another Story Lyin' Eyes, together with Siw. They also kept the red dog "Chico" - Another Story New Kid In Town, that Siw and Bjørnar co-owned. But since March 2008, "Chico" lives with me and Peter. "Chico" is a gorgeous dog, and it didn't take me long to realize I had really missed having a male dog in the house. Siw and I now co-own "Chico".

Siw and I have known each other for 10 years and since we have always known that we can work extremely well together, the idea was born, that I and Siw would form a "real" partnership across the Swedish-Norwegian border, and in January 2006, it was decided that Siw would be a full partner in the Another Story kennel. And since Siw already was a breeder of Portuguese Water Dogs, this breed is also a part of the kennel prefix Another Story. So now we are Another Story Greyhounds & Portuguese Water Dogs!

Up to date (3 June 2008) we have bred three PWD-litter under the prefix Another Story. You can see more of our PWD:s at their own homepage: http://www.anotherstory.se.

We had our first co-bred litter in April 2007. We used frozen semen by BIS Int US Nord Norw Swed Fin Dan Can Ch Gaia Sunridge Sunrise on "Ofelia". From this litter we kept "Elli" - Another Story Here Comes The Sun, co-owned by me and Siw. She lives with Siw & Bjørnar in Norway. We also co-own"Grace" - Another Story Waiting For The Sun, with Mats & Brith Olsson, Växjö.

When "Chico" was used at stud at kennel Gruagach, owner Jim Powell, we kept a puppy: "Oskar" - Gruagach By Choice. He lives in Norway with Siw & Bjørnar, but is co-owned by Siw and me.

Since I am not physically well, I have no longer any real possiblities to keep many dogs and litters at home, so co-operation suits me very well. I co-owned "Michael's" daughter "Bailey" - Nordic Swed Norw Dan Ch Rhetsgis Tell Another Story. She was born in 1996 and she lived with her breeder, Gisela Balz, Rhetsgis Greyhounds & Whippets.

I co-own "Bailey's" beautiful daughter by "Norton" - "Betty" - Swed Ch Rhetsgis Telltale (born in June 2000). She lives with Anna-Carin Falk, Telltale's Greyhounds, with whom I co-operate closely.

As from July 2002, I also co-own the American import, BIS Int Am Fin Est Swed Ch FinW-02-04 NordW-03 BaltW-06 Windrock Fernando - "Nando" lives with my very good friends Kimmo Saarinen & Seppo Tanninen, Kimsar Greyhounds, in Finland. We have always worked closely together and I have known Kimmo since he had his first Greyhound.

My Greyhounds all live indoors, and at night it's a bit crowded in our bed, since they - all - insist on sleeping there!

In the past, I have participated in several foreign Sighthound publications. When you are really interested in the breed, there are certainly a lot of Clubs you simply have to be a member of. E.g. the Swedish Sighthound Club, the Swedish Greyhound Club, the Greyhound Club in Great Britain, the Greyhound Club of America, the Finnish Greyhound Club, the Norwegian Greyhound Club, the Danish Sighthound Club.

A "crazy" hobby of mine, is collecting Greyhounds in all shapes and sizes - china, bronze etc. My home is filled with paintings, figurines, post cards, stamps and all sorts of Greyhound stuff. I also have some Borzoi bits and pieces. Wherever I go, in the world, I always bring something with me back home for my collection. My favourite destination is London, a veritable Mecca for collectors.

You can look at parts of my collection on our homepage, but I need to update on my photo collection - so I plan to show more photos in the future. A small part of my Sighthound collection was exhibited in Hundesport, the Norwegian Kennel Club Gazette and in Hundsport - the Swedish Kennel Club Gazette. The reports were made by Gro B. Henriksen, who at that time shot the beautiful photo of "Cilla" and "Michael".
