Massive Update – 2019 to date!!!

We have had a wonderful 2019 — you will remember in 2017 we brought our first boy home with us from Moscow, our Makar (Eschio Odno Chudo iz Mishkinogo Doma).

We showed him throughout Winter 2017/2018 and then all of 2018 and into 2019. Thanks to the help of many friends in the UK, we are very pleased to announce that we have had three litters from Makar during 2019 (from Peony, Yestie and TooToo – our C, D and E litters). Finally I have been able to bring my keepers home to start to show! I will be posting about each of the litters on their own pages. And our keepers will get their own pages! During 2019, we also gave up our home in Czechia. We loved the years we spent there, the dogs loved running in the fields. But it was sold to someone else and we are now splitting our time between working in the UK and living in Terneuzen. We don’t know what the future will bring – but we are sure Brexit will make it more complicated.

We have just returned from a holiday in Croatia with shows around the Balkans, we had a great time and had some wonderful results. My happiest day in showing was Saturday the 14th September, when my own bred puppy from Yestie and Makar, MandalaDax Dream Pup (Dreamer) became 3rd Best Minor Puppy in Show at the Osijek CACIB show in Croatia. First time I have had a podium for a puppy that I have bred, and I was super proud of him!

Daisy, the daughter of our Star, bred by Ted Jones, has done really well this year, she had Best in Group 4 in Genk LKV in early 2019, and then she went with Makar to spend the Summer and Autumn in Croatia. Daisy was Best in Group at the Zagreb Hunting Show in July, Daisy was also BOB at Split and became Split Winner 2019. She is being shown and is co-owned now with a lovely family in Split, Croatia. More about her on her own page over the next days.

Makar has had some good results as well. He was Best in Group -2 in Velika Gorica, in Croatia; then had 2x Best in Group -2 podiums at the International Dog Shows at Gradiska, Bosnia and Herzegovina. He is also staying in Croatia this Autumn, to work on his working dog (hunting) certification with our friend in Zagreb. More about Makar will be updated on his page as well.
