About Us
My name is Solvi Nordin, I was born and grew up in Norway
In 1987 I was living in Florida, where I worked in a harness horse stable..called "Team Nordin", it consisted of Soren Nordin (from Sweden) a living legend within the harness racing sport, and his 2 sons, Ulf who is living and working in France, and Jan....
1990 Jan and I got married. Jan had 2 sons from his first marriage, Peter and Lars and we have together, Elisabeth born in Florida in 1990 and Eric born in Venice, Italy in 1995. Even though the training and driving business was zipping along well here in US (Team Nordin has set 44 World Records and won numerous big stakes wins) we were offered a contract for work in Italy that we accepted.
THIS is where
Oscar comes in to the picture.....:-)))
Jan was to have his 50th birthday in September of 1997 and the only thing he wanted was A BLUE GREAT DANE !!! At the time I had 5 dogs..most of whom had found me..all colors shapes and sizes and I couldn't for the life of me, see the need for another dog....anyway...the research begins and I was able to find a breeder in Torino, Italy who was expecting a litter in the fall of -97. A month or two later he calls to tell me it was a "false pregnancy" BUT that he was to have another litter in January of-98...So we wait....Sometime in January he calls me to tell me that there were 5 puppies born...4 of which are stillborn and the one who is still breathing is a female that I could have...Since we only wanted a boy and had said so from the beginning, we declined the offer MORE
