My name is Boel Rosenlund, owner of Kennel Buckwheat. I live just outside Stockholm, Sweden, together with my husband Knutte, our children Edit, 20 and Elof 17 and four Irish Softocoated Wheaten Terriers:
Lovehill's Barbie Girl ("Mascot"), our foundation bitch, mother of two litters.
Buckwheat Helga Hufflepuff ("Trulsa), daughter of Mascot, mother of one litter.
Buckwheat Miss Moneypenny ("Penny"), daughter of Trulsa, no litters yet.
Windisle Inycon ("Casper"), Multichampion, father of three litters.
Yet another two dogs belong to our kennel:
Eudora's I am Buckwheat O'Inycon ("Mimmi"), daughter of Casper, no litters yet.
Wheaten My Love Learning ABC ("Kaiser"), German import, father of two litters .
Mimmi lives with Anna-Carin and her family just 20 min drive from us and Kaiser, who is co-owned with Kennel Ambush and Kennel Conor's, lives with Agneta and her family at Kennel Conor's.
My dog-life started already in the sixties, the breeds in those days were wire- and longhaired dachshunds.
Studies, career with lots of travelling and not the least raising a family made it impossible for me to have dogs for many years. So when we finally decided our breed, the planning had taken several years, and I may say that the choice of Irish Softcoated Wheaten Terrier has never been regretted!
The Kennel and the dogs are a way of living, Knutte is my invaluable "kennel boy", what would a breeder do without one?
Edit had a successful career as a Junior Handler, reached the Swedish Finals in 2003. She judges Junior handling and is responsible for handler instruction within the Stockholm Division of the Swedish Wheaten Terrier Club.
She was awarded a travelling scholarship in 2006 from the Swedish Terrier Club and visited Miss Deborah Evens and Kennel Hobel's in England in July.
In my professional life, I work as Senior Manager, negotiating international Drama co-productions at SVT, Swedish Public Broadcaster. Knutte is also in the television business, working as an independent producer.
The dogs are of course my major interest in my free time, but I also enjoy reading, cooking, gardening and decorating our summer house in South Sweden. Keeping the web-site updated has also become a great interest, many thanks to our son Elof who taught me how to do it and also created this web-site.
Start breeding the Wheaten Terrier was a very thorough decision, finding the kennel name was mere luck!
We were looking for a short and catchy kennel name, preferably with some association to the breed's name but could not find anything new or original.
However, one day, Edith read out loud the label on one sack of dog food, "Buckwheat", that would be the name of our Kennel!
Luckily enough, FCI agreed, and our kennel name was registered in
the spring of 2003..
My Dog life includes several classes in breeding, genetics, anatomy, raising puppies etc. I am trained B-figurant for Mental Tests and also Ring Steward for Dog shows. I am a Board member of the Stockholm Division of the Swedish Club for Irish Softcoated Wheaten Terrier.
Our dogs have attended classes in general and advanced obedience, game-tracking, agility and rescue.
Trulsa and I compete in agility and game-tracking, Mascot and I have competed in obedience.
Both Edit and I trim the Irish Softcoated Wheaten Terrier and welcome new customers depending on time.
