A candle has been lit in memory of the birth of my F litter de la Maison du Garde-Barrière, my Christmas Angels of 2000. It is the sixth Christmas without my Frizzy (FRIZZANTE FURIOSO GRIS de la Maison du Garde-Barrière). He is so much missed ......

Today at 2 p.m. Ula was cremated and I could go and pick up her urn in the evening to place her on the board in my memorial corner, directly besides Keanu with whom she gave me wonderful puppies. Another chapter of my life has ended now, and it will take quite a while until I can get over the pain.
November 15, 2020:
Today is a very black day. My so much loved Ula (Multi-Champ. Family Song's ULA) lost her desire to live at the age of 15 years, 9 months and 4 days - exactly 14 1/2 years after she had moved here. Since her gall bladder removal she never threw up, but yesterday evening she vomitted all her midday meal. For already three days she did not really want to eat and lost weight rather fast. So yesterday evening I had to make the hard decision to drive to my trustworthy vet on the next day to let her go. My heart breaks ...... Ula is among the Chinese Crested what Yazoo was for me among the Briards.
At 11:20 a.m. Ula fell asleep forever in my arms to make her way over the Rainbow Bridge. She does not only leave another big hole in my heart, but also an infinite emptiness. As a comfort I try to tell myself that she had a beautiful, long life filled with joy and love, and that I could have already lost her last year during or after the surgery. Du to our vet I could have her at my side for a bit more than one and a half year.
This is the last photo of my girl which I took prior to carrying into the vet clinic to let her go in peace.
Ula, you will remain unforgotten and have a very special place in my heart. Even though you are not longer physically with me, you will live on in your son Maverick and your granddaughter Hippie and join me through these two until one day we meet again. Thank you that I was allowed to join you for so many years, thank you for the luck, joy and love you gave me during all these years. As the founder of the Chinese Crested breeding Caipirinha's I give you big sincere thanks. Run free now with all the others from here. Let them know that I'll never forget them and that they will always be in my heart.

Finally the weather allows that little Mamacita (Jamming's MAMACITA) can spend some time in the garden without getting wet up over the ears. And Hippie (Multi-Champ. von Shinbashi HIGH PROVOCATION) demeaned herself finally to toll around and about with the little one. A video is now in the Photo Gallery of Mamacita.

Today the new family member moved in. Jamming's MAMACITA was flown by her breeder from Helsinki to Wien. A sweet little powderpuff female, very self-confident, outgoing, full of energy and a very promising show dog. Let's see if she matures the way she promises now.
Since a year I am searching for a second powderpuff for showing and mid of September it emerged September that a litter which was very interesting caught my eyes. Given that I know the breeders personally I got already a week after my inquiry the assurance for a puppy. I did not mind the gender, it should only be a powderpuff with show potential. Sincere thanks to Lella and Samu for their confidence in me and that they allow me to join this little mouse in the future.
I hope that I soon find the time to create her part in this homepage.
October 2020:
Lots of shows did not take place because of the corona restrictions or the borders wer closed for foreigners and we could not drive there
From May 1 to 4 Hippie (Multi-Champ. von Shinbashi HIGH PROVOCATION) and Maverick (Multi-Champ. Caipirinha's NEED 4SPEED) should have taken place at the international and national shows in Zadar/HR, and we had planned a short vaccation in Zaton with our friends Susi, Claudia and Sandy. The accommodation was already booked since end of December 2019; show cancelled. The weekend July 16/17 we wanted to participate in the international shows in Sarvar/Hu - show was cancelled. Hippie was entered to a three days international show and club show from 20 to 23 August which had already be postponed from April - we could not go because I had to be in home quarantine prior to a surgery.
For September 26/27, Hippie was entered to a two days national show in Zalaegerszeg/HU - the borders were closed. A weekend later Hippie was entered to the three days international show in Komarom/HU gemeldet - borders were still closed.
One single show weekend in June in Papa/HU was what he attended. Hippie only misses one CAC for the Hungarian and one CACIB for the International Beauty Champion. What a pity that this year turned out to be so bad. We hope that in 2021 it will be better.
