Back to the main page About us Our "doggy family" lives in the southeastern part of Norway and is made up of a few smooth collies and their owner Berit Klausen. Most of our spare time is occupied by activities like hiking, obedience training and field work. I have also done a one year clicker training instructor's course. My kennel prefix is "Alertness". In time there might be born a litter or two at Alertness if circumstances allow it. My aims for a future breeding program will be to produce smooth collies with the typical, classical collie temperament, i.e. collies that are social and friendly and with a steady temperament showing both curiosity and playfulness, in other words collies which are fully enjoying life and in turn are a joy to their owners and families. My favourite training method is clicker training. You may read more about it here. This website is made from basic html-coding. At first in Notepad on a Dell laptop, lately in TextWrangler on a Mac OS X. Yeah, a couple of Mac fanatics in my immediate family convinced me it was about time I joined the enemy :-)
