Kennel Lurhaugs Violetta Violetta
Aka Kanutt
Name: Kanutten
Date of birth: January 27, 2016
Breed: Golden Retriever (working lines)
Registration number:
Hip dysplasia (HD): Clear – B
Elbow dysplasia (AD): Clear 0/0
Eye examination: Clear
Kanutten is my very first Golden Retriever, and she has taught me an incredible amount about this breed.
She is extremely food motivated, knows exactly what she wants, and works like a true professional when she chooses to. She has a strong work ethic combined with a big personality and clear opinions of her own.
Kanutten was selected for the Norwegian National Team in freestyle dogdance. Unfortunately, she never had the opportunity to compete at the Nordic Championships or the World Championships due to COVID restrictions. However, in 2018 she became European Champion in Frisbee Freestyle (GCDC) in Germany.
She has also had an extensive theatre career, performing as the dog “Sandy” in the musical Annie.
In 2023 and January 2024 she performed at Folketeateret in Oslo, Norway’s largest theatre, and returned again for the 2024 production.
Kanutten completed several hundreds shows as "Sandy" in the musical of Annie at Folketeateret and several other places around in her carrier.
Her theatre adventures have now come to an end, and this wonderful girl is officially retired. She will now enjoy life on her own terms. She still joins training sessions, demonstrations, and similar activities, but no longer performs on stage.
In addition to theatre work, Kanutten has appeared in several commercials and short films. She is also a certified therapy/visiting dog through the Norwegian Red Cross. For many years she served as Vega’s understudy during theatre productions both in Norway and abroad.
Kanutten has had two litters, and from her second litter I kept Tjorven 😉
Camp Alpha`s Tjorven
Name: Tjorven
Date of birth: December 14, 2020
Breed: Golden Retriever (working lines)
Registration number: NO31046/21
Hip dysplasia (HD): Clear – A
Elbow dysplasia (AD): Clear 0/0
This little firecracker is from my own breeding program. She is the daughter of Kanutten and Aquaseer’s First Fighter — “Abbe”.
I truly love working with her. She is currently a member of the Norwegian National Team in Creative Obedience, competing in both Freestyle and Heelwork to Music (HTM).
On September 1st, 2024, we placed 2nd at the Norwegian National Championship in Creative Obedience – Heelwork, during our very first year competing in Heelwork to Music.
In 2025, our results improved even further:
2nd place at the Norwegian National Championship in both Freestyle and HTM
Selected as Norway’s representative for Crufts 2026
Team Silver Medal at the Nordic Championships 2025
Tjorven has had one litter, and from that litter I kept Fomle.
She knows a wide range of impressive tricks, can take cues from other handlers, and is highly reliable even in stressful environments. She works confidently at a distance and is the perfect film and commercial dog.
Last year, she also worked as Kanutten’s understudy in the theatre production AND
in 2025 - she had ALL the shows in Annie in the biggest theater in Norway - all december!
Very exciting times are ahead for this wonderful girl 🙂

Hip dysplasia (HD): Clear – B
Elbow dysplasia (AD): Clear 0/0
CEA: Clear
TNS: Clear, carrier

Imported from Italy.
Vega is the aunt of his father.
This guy has been a challenge — not because he is a problem dog, but because he has a lot of energy! Now, however, he is finally starting to settle, and he has become an absolute joy to train. I truly love his attitude and working mindset.
2024 was the year we fully entered competition life, of course in Freestyle. He is developing beautifully in the ring, and we are very excited for the upcoming season.
He placed 4th at the Norwegian National Championship in Freestyle and achieved a total of 28 points in Class 3 in 2025.
All certificates have been earned, and once the show requirement is completed, his championship title will be confirmed.
Sirius is the father of a wonderful litter born at Easter 2025.
Available for breeding to suitable females.
Camp Alpha`s Fifty Fifty
Name: Camp Alpha’s Fifty Fifty
(call name: Fomle)
Date of birth: November 11, 2024
Breed: Golden Retriever (working lines)
Registered in the Norwegian kennel club
Fomle is the newest addition to the pack. He is the son of Tjorven and the grandson of Kanutten — making him the third generation here.
At the time of writing, he is 14 months old.
He was never actually meant to stay… but life had other plans. Fomle weighed only 140 grams at birth, and during his first six weeks I had incredible help from dedicated puppy caretakers while I was working at the theatre in Oslo at the same time (yes — extremely poor timing!). Thanks to them, Fomle is alive today. He required bottle feeding and careful, step-by-step monitoring around the clock.
I said, “If he survives, he stays.”
And that is exactly what happened.
He is a little rascal, and it will be incredibly exciting to follow his journey as he grows.
