Svante Frisk
I was born in mid-60 on the westcoast of Sweden as a child. I was very interested in animals of all kinds and after nagging my parents they finally brought me a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
To get the chance to work with animals and learn more about them I worked at the animal hospital in Gothenburg, it gave me a lot of valuable knowledge of animals and human beings.
Since I started I have been a leading breeder of Parson Russell Terriers. My affix is Toutchstone. My first longlegged Jack Russell came to me in 1985. The breed was officially recognized by the FCI in 1991 and I then started showing my dogs. Up till now I have bred and owned 70 showchampions and some trackingchampions.
