We are a family consisting of Inger and Geir Magne and our 3 dogs. We live in Sandstrand, a small hamlet outside Harstad in Northern Norway about 200 English miles north of the Arctic Cirle. 

Originally, we lived in the city, but wanted to find a place in the country and bought this house 10 years ago as a holiday house. It became our permanent residence a couple of years later. We haven't always had a dog, but wanted a four-legged companion and acquired our first cocker spaniel, Pilar, in 2003, who has been our best friend and pride and joy ever since.

We are members of the Norwegian Kennel Club, Norwegian Spaniel Club and local canine club in Harstad, where we train regularly. Inger is also assistant trainer.  We haven't participated in many dog shows in the past, but hope to be more active in the future with Ebbas Betty Boo and Nuffiland's Eye in the Sky. Their show careers begins in 2010.

Our kennel was established in 2007, and has been given the name Ebba from Inger's grandmother. Inger is working as a translator, og Geir Magne is a full-time student.
