Anki & Tidy

Lena & Flame

 

Lena is commuting between Tyresö (suburb of Stockholm) and Strängnäs where she and her husband have a little estate called “Rosöga Hage”. The farm is not far from “Kolstugan” where Anki lives with her family, which consists of Anders and their children, dogs, cats and horses. Good land and the nearness to each other make our cooperation and the training of the dogs much easier.

 

Lena Bratsberg-Karlsson has since the early 80ies been training, hunting and breeding dogs from the three most common Retriever breeds. The first dog was a Flat Coated Retriever that appeared to possess the good qualities a Retriever should have. This resulted in an ardent interest of the working dog and especially the Retriever. During the years, the training and the hunting with the dogs, have developed Lena in to one of Sweden’s most successful and respectable dog-handlers and coaches. The last success to mention is the victory in the European Cup with her Labrador bitch named Searover Flame.

Lena is living in Sörmland (the middle-south of Sweden) where she, under the kennel name Searover, breeds Retrievers, mostly Labradors, together with her colleague Anki Andersson.
