We, Karin and Per Løkken
live in Andebu in the beautiful county of Vestfold. We live in the countryside with the
forest as our nearest neighbour, the springer spaniels’ true element.
We are both from Oslo, but
were fed up with the hustle-bustle of city life. We wanted to keep more dogs, and we
started looking for a house in the countryside. We moved here in -88, and have never since
missed life in Oslo. Karin is now working full time with our dogs.
We acquired our first
spaniel in -79, a cocker. After some time we fancied a somewhat bigger breed, and our eyes
fell upon the English Springer Spaniel. We got our first from the Brigadoon kennels of
Sweden, a beautiful black-white & tan male with the most appealing temperament. He
really made us realize the multiple qualities of the Springer Spaniel. We were novices,
but eager to learn, and this dog was the key to learning as he had all the essential
qualities. We practiced obedience, tracking and field trialling, and he became a highly
merited show- and tracking dog. His title was eventually Int N SF UCh N VCh Brigadoon
Chocolate Twister, a wonderful dog in all respects.

Nimblewhit Champions
We
were very lucky indeed when we bought a puppy bitch from kennel Brigadoon.
She was named Int NUCh NV 91-93 Brigadoon Scarlets Nimblewit, and she became
the foundation for our breeding, her name gave the idea to our kennel prefix,
and you will find her behind every puppy who is born here today.

We are truly concerned of
the English Springer Spaniel as an all-rounder. Per judges field trials and qualifiers,
and we are both active handlers at dog shows.
