Lite grann om mig själv...
Arbetsglädjen, och viljan att samarbeta samt den mentala stabiliteten tillsammans med en vacker exteriör är för mig grundtanken i min uppfödning. Där också friskhet och sundhet självklart måste ingå. Dessa är de grundegenskaper som de hundar jag kommer att använda i min avel ska besitta, och förhoppningsvis, kommer att nedärva till sin avkomma, dvs. kommande Astolat -hundar.
Namnet Astolat...
I berättelsen förekommer Elaine of Astolat, dotter till Kungen av Astolat. Hon var olyckligt kär i en av Kung Arthurs närmaste män, Sir Lancelot, som i sin tur var förälskad i Arthurs fru, Guinevere. Eftersom Elaines kärlek till Lancelot förblev obesvarad dog hon, enligt sägen ,av brustet hjärta, och flöt iväg i en båt ,på floden Themsen och hittades vid slottet Camelot. Denna historia kanske inte verkar speciellt smickrande för att få symbolisera ett kennelnamn. Men, enligt en annan saga, skriven av en annan dåtida författare, födde hon istället Lancelots son, Galahad, och det är denna berättelse som får stå som symbol för mitt kennelnamn, Astolat

About myself...
Got my first , and only rough Collie in 1976, a co-owned bitch with the name Enny, or later on, Colgolds Enny. I was in my early teens and influenced by the Lassiemovies that was shown frequently in the seventies. The fact that the collie at that time , was known as being extremely nervy during the after effects of the Lassie hysteria was nothing that was due to my Enny, she was instead a very stabile and wise dog that made me realize what a wonderful breed the Collie was. The pleasure and enthusiasm in working ,and also the ability to co-operate together with the mental stability and beautiful exterior are for me the basic thoughts in my reproduction. But, of course, also healthiness and soundness must be included. Those are the fundamental qualities the dogs that I will use in my breeding must posess, and hopefully will those qualities be passed over to their offspring, future Astolat dogs.
The name Astolat..
The name Astolat comes from the legend about King Arthur. A british medevial story about King Arthur and the Knights of The Round Table. The story presumably descends from the 5 th. centuries and Arthur was probably actually a warrior who defended his people from intruders. Or, if one should go more further, so has maybe, the Arthurian- legends its origin in some kind of personification of a powerful Celt God.
In the story, occurs Elaine of Astolat, daughter to King of Astolat, unhappily in love with sir Lancelot, one of Arthurs nearest men, who, as in turn, were in love with Arthur’s wife, Guinevere. Since Elaine’s love for Lancelot, remained unresponded, she died, accordingly to the story, of a broken heart and float away in a boat on the Thames river and was found nearby the Castle of Camelot This story now, might not seems, very flattering to symbolize the name of a kennel, but, according to a different story, written by another then author, Elaine give birth to Lancelot’s son Galahad, and it is this story that will represent my kennel name, Astolat |
