Erk was born on May 21st, 2013. His mother is Clara (Clara Dynamic Quest) and his father is Tip (Mawlch Tip).
There were 6 puppies altogether, 3 males and 3 females. His brothers and sisters all got an owner quite fast, but not Erk. He was kind of a leftover :) Clara's owner Elin had thought she would keep him, but also said she would be happy to give him to us. As she was convinced we would be right for Erk. We were not so sure that we would live up to her expectations, so it took some days before Marko said his final 'yes'.
One thing that turned me, was to see Erk swim. He was the only one of his litter who started swimming quite young and was not afraid of the water. As we are both very athletic, we definitely wanted a dog that would share our love for outdoor sports - running, swimming, hiking, skiing... So I thought about Erk: that dog will turn out just fine, he will endure and be happy with our long hours of sporting.
