Lagertha stayed with us when she was a puppy - we took her through puppy classes and put some training on her and her brother. She earned her CGC at 12 weeks old! She spent the next few years with her owner Cathy, of Thrymheim Kennels, and then moved down to Texas for an extended stay to be bred to Link. Lagertha's sire and dam are both imports from Iceland, and she is a very typey, feminine bitch with beautiful balanced movement. She and Link both bring ideal heads, proper coat, and functional structure. They are both very handler focused and biddable. This was Lagertha's first litter, and she had a normal pregnancy and easy, textbook whelping. She was an excellent mother and raised very socially savvy puppies with appropriate bite inhibition. We are very proud of how this litter turned out - all of them except our keeper went to new Icelandic Sheepdog owners and have made breeder lovers of all of them!

Marvel and his owner Aryn have had a great start to their conformation and sports career! Marvel finished his UKC championship with multiple group placements before he was a year old, and earned points at his very first AKC show. He has also earned multiple NOHS group placements in AKC and was ranked in the top 10 NOHS Icelandic Sheepdogs for 2019. He earned his Rally Novice title, with a perfect score of 100 as his final leg! Marvel is in an area without a lot of breed competition, so he and Aryn traveled to Oklahoma in October 2020 and earned 4 and 5 point majors, taking him to eleven points. In June 2021, they again traveled to Oklahoma where he finished with a four point major, and went on to take best of breed for a GCH major his first weekend out as a special! Since then, he has continued in sports and conformation - he is very close to his GCH, and has titled in scentwork and rally/obedience as well.

Samus lives in an apartment as a single dog with her owner Kait, showing that with proper training and exercise, Icelandic Sheepdogs can truly function in any environment. Samus is a very smart, energetic girl whose favorite sport is Fast CAT (lure coursing). Samus and Kait are learning to show conformation together and have entered a couple of shows and done well. They are looking forward to traveling to find breed competition in the future, as well as working toward rally titles and more coursing titles. Kait is an artist who finds Samus to be an excellent studio partner and looks forward to her joining her at booths at shows in the future. Samus has been shown off and on over the years, picking up a few points, as well as some impressive reserves (she was rwb two days at the Icelandic Sheepdog National Specialty cluster). In June 2023, she and Kait traveled to the Oklahoma City shows, and she proved that Icies age like fine wine. She picked up 11 points, winning three days of the five day cluster, and all three times going winners and best opposite over specials! One of the days, she also was awarded an owner handled group three! She finished at her next show with a four point major!

Red Cedar Thrymheim Zelda Aspora RN CGC TKN
Zelda is our keeper puppy from this litter. She is co-owned with Thrymheim Kennels, and we are excited about her future! She stayed with us in Texas for most of her first year to start her training - earning rally, CGC and trick titles at just six months old. She participated in Meet the Breeds at the Houston World Series of Dogs Shows at less than a year old, meeting hundreds of new people and was an amazing ambassador of the breed. She will start her conformation career in Michigan, where she lives with Cathy, as she matures.
Red Cedar Thrymheim Super Princess Peach
Izzy is a beloved pet living in Pennsylvania with a wonderful family. They met us at the National Dog Show in Philadelphia, trying to do their research about the breed they were interested in and meet breeders. They fell in love with Link, and we kept in touch until the puppies were ready to go to their new homes and they flew to Texas to meet everyone and take their puppy home! She is not only their first Icelandic Sheepdog, but their first dog, and they love her dearly. They even had a professional photoshoot for her first birthday!
