Thank you for visiting my homepage.
Me, the owner of this homepage is named Aud Stokman and my
kennel is named Little Merlin's kennel. I was born in 1957 in
Fredrikstad in the east of Norway. I live at this moment in a
place called Finnskogen. I live by myself together with my
animals in the middle of the forest. Except my dogs, I have 2
horses, a few sheep, one very sweet goat, a cat and some hens. I
have grown up with dogs and got my first dog when I was 16 years
old. It was my first Briard. Right now I am th lucky owner of 25
adult dogs, and for the moment I own 1 briard, 1 dobermann, 1
rottweiler, 1 Chinese Crested, 3 mix breed of different sizes, 2
miniatüre pinscher and 16 caucasian ovcharka.

Every dog that Little Merlin's
kennel use for breeding, has been health checked and are 100%
clinical healthy and are excellent in every ways, and has of
course typical character. All of the dogs that I use for
breeding have also great results from dog show. |

I bought my first two Caucasian
Ovcharka here in Norway from the first litter that was born here
in Norway. They were born in 1996.
I trusted the breeder and bought them without having seen the
pups. I was very dissapointed. It was two females. The one of
them was very afraid of everything, and the other one was really
aggressive, much more than what is normal for a
puppy of that breed.
Because I was so dissapointed with these two pups, I started
searching for an excellent Caucasian Ovcharka female, pup or
adult, and got an offer from Linda Sjøtun in Sweden to buy
Mörkömaan Enkeli. This female was really
something very different from the two pups I bought first.
Enkeli was excellent in every ways. Mörkömaan Enkeli was one
year old when I bought her. She was breed by the very famous
breeder of Caucasian Ovcharka in Finland,
Sirpa Välimäki, with kennel Mörkömaan.
Because I bought these two pups
that were born in 1996, I have 13 years of experience with this
breed now in 2009. I am proud to inform you that I celebrate my
13 year anniversary with Caucasian Ovcharka in 2009.
Mörkömaan Enkeli had her first litter when she was about 2 years
old. I mated her with a russian male, N, FIN uch, NORD V-98
Shabo iz Svetlogo Doma. I borrowed this really gorgeous male
from a friend of mine in Finland. I have never seen any dogs
that is stronger than him. He had extremely strong head, body
and legs, and his temper and character was just perfect. He was
one of the very few Caucasian Ovcharkas that passed the
Character test specially for Caucasian Ovcharka in Finland. I
borrowed him for more than one year, so I knew him very well. He
had also wonderfull temper aganst humans, he was so nice.
From this litter I kept one
female, Little Merlin's Natasha, for myself. The others in this
litter were sold to great homes here in Norway. When Natasha was
2 years old, I mated her with a male that I bought when he was
at the same age as Natasha. His name is Int Nord N S DK uch,
NORD V
03, SV 02-05, NV 01-03-04-05 Champ-Bull's Goliat. Little
Merlin's Natasha got a wonderfull litter and one of the pups
moved to Alaska. The others were sold to excellent homes here in
Norway.
Next time I mated Natasha, this wonderfull female was born:
World Winner - 2006, Int, Nord, N, S, DK, PL uch, NORD V 03-06,
SV 05 - 06, PV-06, KBHV-06, NV 03-04-05-06, Little Merlin's
Grom-Grom. Her father is the same as in Natasha's first litter.
This female is the most titled and most winning female of this
breed in the World. So far she has 17 FCI titles, including the
World Winner title in 2006, and she has been 2 x Best in Show,
1x 2nd. Best in show, 1 x 3rd. Best in show, and she has 20 huge
different winnings in the final rings from International and
National big FCI dog show with really big competitions.
She has also extremely many CACIB.
She was club winner 3 years after each other and won the
perputal trophy for ever. As little pup, she was best puppy in
our club show and won
the perpetual trophy for one year. She has as great
movements and you have to search for a very long time to find
similar movements, and the same about her character. Her
charachter and
temper are just amazing in the positive way.
She is really a dog to be proud of.

In the year
1999 I bought 2 adult females from Belgium with different
bloodlines. They were named Goda and Vala. They are
unfortunately both in the dogs heaven now.
I have also imported a male from Belorussia, Mavr Medvezhiy Ugol.
He was
imported in the year 2003. |

When I have a
litter, I always have the mother and the pups inside my house.
That's because I want them to be used to the daily noises in a
house, like the noise of the vacuumcleaner and similar common
noises. And I also want them to be used to my cat and other dogs.
And when they are inside my house it is much easier for me to
take very good care of them and see if something is wrong,
compared to if
had them in a kennel house. If they are only outdoors or in a
separate
house, I don't have the same possibility to take as good care of
them as I want to.
When the pups are
about 5 weeks old I take them out to my sheep and my goat so
they'll be used to my sheep and my goat. Their mother is allways
together with the pups. I start with only a few minutes, and
after a week they are together with my sheep a couple of hours a
day. It depends of the weather, because my sheep are outdoors
the whole year. This is very important if anyone want to use
them as livestock guardian dogs when they grow up.

All my
C.O. have the very typical C.O. character. My C.O are working as
livestock guardian dogs and they are doing a really great job.
I lost a Doberman half a year before I bought my 2 first C.O.
This dobermann was killed by a bear. After I started with C.O.,
this haven't been any problem
at all. But Enkeli did an excellent job as LGD.
I think that it is very important to keep the original C.O.
temperament. As grown up the C.O. normally is a little
distrustfull against strangers when they are on their own
property, not like a Labrador that enjoy every stranger.
Most of all I want my pups to come to people who wants to use
them for what they are meant to, to protect other animals and
people against
dangerous things like bears, wolfs, thieves etc. But, of course,
the most important is that the puppy buyers can offer great
homes for the pup. |

Every dogs/pups that I sell from my kennel here in Norway get
the Norwegian FCI Pedigree.
Every dogs/pups that I sell to other countries get the
International FCI Export Pedigree. |

As you can see they all live in perfect harmony!

About my dogs that I use for
breeding:
It is very important to me that they have excellent temperament,
and I think that the health is very important too, and of course
that their look is excellent. It wouldn't help at all with good
health or good temperament if they don't look like a C.O.
Here in Norway we have no dangerous diseases like rabies,
heartworm or other dangerous diseases. Norway is one of the very
few countries in the world that don't have these diseases.
Little Merlin's kennel is the most winning kennel of Caucasian
Ovcharka in the Scandinavia and propably the most winning kennel
in most countries in the world.
Little Merlin's kennel
celebrates 13 years anniversary with Caucasian Ovcharka and
active breeding of this breed in 2009.
No other breeder of Caucasian Ovcharka in Norway and Sweden can
honestly claim similar information about
themselves, and not about their
results from dog show either. |
