Hi Tim,

For reasons I won't even try to explain (because then I'd have to
understand them first), I'll go with the bread and the dog tricks:

12. a small Bohemian bread roll made from wheat flour, water, yeast and
salt, usually topped with linseeds or sea salt

14. a dog sport based obedience course where the dog advances through a
variety of stations responding only to hand signals.

Cheers,
Hugo

And for no good reason, I'll vote for these:

 

11. an embroidered wedding shawl, traditionally of fine linen weave, once common in the Norwegian
countryside.

 

12. a small Bohemian bread roll made from wheat flour, water, yeast and salt, usually topped with
linseeds or sea salt

I'll join the crowd with reasons they can't explain, reasons unknown to them, and no good reason, and choose 13 and 14.

II'll try the sheild-maiden and the dog sled:  1 and 9.

1. [On.] a shield-maiden.

7 for being both rare and obsolete.  11  for not sounding remotely Norse.

Dave

[Debbie]

10 and 7 please

[Ryan McGill]

How about a large def with a large tally and a small def with a small tally?

9 & 12

9. a large dog sled with room for two passengers; The driver of  such a dog sled.

[Tony Abell]

I'll take the laughable 3 and the dubious 13:

> 3. a Russian fur hat with a visor.

[Efrem G Mallach]

I'll vote for #9, because it's not quite as implausible as some of the others, and for #12, because it's the only one that doesn't end with a period (full stop to our British friends). Not much of a clue, but I have nothing else to go on!
