I M BLUESKIES

My name is Barbara Ruth Smith. I was born in the United States.  Since 2006  I have lived in Sweden with my partner Mikael Tofthagen  We live in the country, 3 swedish mil from Ludvika(Dalarna) with our 9 Whippets, a Border Terrier and a Tervueren.

 I got my first dog (a German Sheperd) when I was 13 years old. I have been a breeder since 1978 of Whippets, and Border Terriers. I have also co-bred Parson Russell Terriers with Mary Strom of the well known and very successful Snow Wind Kennel in Oregon, USA and co-bred Scottish Deerhounds with Lynn Robb of Tannochbrae fame.

 I became an authorized judge with the American Kennel Club in 1997. I have judged all over the United States as well as Sweden, Finland, Hungary and Latvia.

Both Micke and I feel very strongly about health testing all of our dogs before breeding. That includes the use of our stud dogs.  All our males are tested for eye problems and are heart ultrasounded, in addition to those tests our girls are also tested for correct thyroid levels. Before a bitch will be approved for breeding to any of our males they must undergo at least a heart ultrasound and an accredited eye test (ögonlysning) with no remarks.
