You know you're Norwegian when...

- You only buy your own drink at the bar even when you are with a group of people.

a) drunk

b) insane

c) American

d) all of the above

- You know at least five different words for describing different kinds of snow.

- An outside temperature of 9 degrees Celsius (45F) is mild in mid June.

- You have only two facial expressions; smiling or blank.

- "Vinmonopolet"

- It’s acceptable to eat lunch at 11.00 and dinner at 15.00.

Den er herlig. Kjenner meg spesielt godt igjen med grilling i regnet, dårlig samvittighet om jeg er inne når det er pent vær og at jeg plutselig snakker svorsk til svensker. :lol:

    • Har prøvd:  Non-Stop Løype - sikkerhetslåsen åpnet seg i tide og utide, og festene til frontstykket åpnet seg hele tiden Non-Stop Trekking - sitter for høyt, jeg får vondt i korsryggen Non-Stop CaniX 2.0 - frontstykket ble ødelagt etter kort tid Jeg har dessverre bare dårlige erfaringer med Non-Stop og leter i grunn etter et belte som IKKE er derifra, men ser at veldig mange har samme, usikre kobling eller så sitter de likt som Trekking-beltet.  Har sett på Canix Pro, men jeg vet ikke om jeg stoler helt på nonstop.  Medium stor hund (17kg), sterk som en okse. Bruker magebeltet for det meste på vanlige skogsturer eller til sykling,  ikke løping, Ønsker ikke belte med denne type kobling. Aller helst så skal koblingen være FAST, så man ikke kan bytte ut frontstykket..
    • Det viktige her er ikke ditt hjerte, for det skinner igjennom. Tror rasen du velger er viktig. Det er viktig å velge rett hund til jobben, og omvendt. Jobben kan være lange turer, sofakos, eller totalt kaos. Jeg fikk en portugisisk vann hund som valp. Gleden var stor, helt til den gikk nesten berserk ved 7 måneders alder. Hørte ikke etter lenger, dro i båndet, spiste alt, inkludert steiner og pinner. Det er tross alt forskjell på og tygge å spise pinner. Nå, etter at jeg leste meg opp og fulgte rådende, så jeg problemet i et annet lys, og fikk en god respons hos hunden.  
    • Ja, valpeshow har vel "alltid" vært uoffisielt. Om det er flere enn for to år siden, kanskje klubbene begynner å komme seg igjen etter pandemien?
    • Det er ikke så mange store uoffisielle utstillinger.  Det er mange uoff. Valpeshow hvor junior og veteraner også kan delta. Disse blir  ikke registrert noen steder og det deles ikke ut cert. Har ingenting med mange uregistrerte hunder å gjøre. 
    • Hvor finner du uoffisielle utstillinger? Jeg antar det kan ha noe med mengden uregistrerte hunder å gjøre, uten at jeg vet noe mer om det.
