AKC-CH, International / National Champion UKC-CH Fox Meadow Jolasveinn |
International/National Junghund Champion UKC-CH Fox Meadow Jolasveinn Thordunu Leppatuska X Isi Kaffisukkolathi is the first Chocolate Icelandic sheepdog to be born in the United States. One of the most uncommon of the many colors that the Icelandic Sheepdogs come in. He is a lively little guy, with a big personality. At his first meeting with our Fox Meadow flock of Shetland Sheep he immediately began herding them, moving a mini flock of twelve with a mature ram across the pastures and through gates. We were so amazed, he was only 12 weeks old and in total control, he's the perfect farm dog. He has inherited his sire's happy-go-lucky temperament and his mother's intelligence along with both of their comedic talents. The result is a dog who problem solves quickly and is a whole lot of fun to have around. Jolasveinn has a passion for balls, Jon has taught him to play "Volley Ball" with him. Jon tosses a large ball to Jolasveinn, who then jumps up and nose butts it back. The two get a pretty good volley going for a while. At just over one year old he has earned his United Kennel Club Championship in Conformation. Jolasveinn has earned his International/National Junghund title in Conformation from the IABCA at 17 months. By his Second Birthday Jolasveinn has earned Multiple Best Male, Best of Breed, Best of Herding group and Herding Group placements, Multiple Best Bred By Exhibitor Herding Group awards and a Best in Multi-Breed Show Award. Jolasveinn became the first Icelandic Sheepdog to earn their AKC Championship from Bred By Exhibitor Class under judge Peggy Beisel Mcllwaine at the Maryland Kennel Club dog show on Feb. 19, 2012 Jolasveinn has sired two handsome litters to view his pups go to the Jolasveinn's puppies page |

Fox Meadow Jolasveinn Awarded Best in a Multi-Breed Show at the Old Line State United Dog Club in Bel Air, MD on October 10, 2010 under Judge Kathie Treacy. Judge Treacy said of Jolasveinn that "he was the best moving Dog in the Ring" and "He certainly looks like he could work all day, I could just sit here and watch him move" We are just thrilled to have our boy recognized for his ability to do the job he was bred to do. |
