Today there was again an award presentation and we did it again ...... for the third time in a row ...... Also in the year 2013 we have gained a placement in the competition Best Show Dog Toy Breed Club Austria 2013, namely the 2nd place with a male bred by us: Maverick (Multi-Champ. Caipirinha's NEED 4SPEED). Therewith, Maverick is also No. 1 Chinese Crested Austria 2013.
Needless to say that we are mighty proud and happy that after Maverick's sire Keanu (Multi-Champ. WL THE DEVILS ADVOCATE) in 2011 and Memy (Multi-Champ. INCREDIBLE ME von Shinbashi) in 2012 now even a dog bred by us won the running for the Best Chinese Crested Austria.

De novo we can be happy and proud of one of our dogs. At the CACIB show Budapest FeHoVa Memy (Multi-Champ. INCREDIBLE ME von Shinbashi) and her handler Dorka rocked once again in the ring today: Exc. 1, Class Winner (CAC), Winners Bitch (CACIB) and BOB with a strong concurrence (13 Chinese Crested entered). Lots of thanks to honorable judge Istvan Csik, who procured with the Winners Bitch that Memy fulfills all conditions for the International Beauty Champion of FCI. Therewith, Memy gained her sixth championship at the age of not even three years .
Then, in the group ring Memy and Dorka were short listed. Thanks in this place to honorable judge Péter Harsányi that he had considered a placement of this team. Both presented a pretty look. Thanks to Dorka for the perfect handling. A real priceless final for the at least temporary show rest of Memy because now the younger dogs from here have a turn.
Two professional photos at the occasion of the BOB can now be seen in the Photo Gallery (Shows).

Three birthdays in a row:
Today our Secret (Explicit's SINS AND SECRETS FOR CAIPIRINHA'S) is two years. Happy birthday to the sweet hairball.
Yesterday our special girl celebrated her 9th birthday: Ula (Multi-Champ. Family Song's ULA), THE girl who founded our Chinese Crested breeding, THE girl who was the first one in this kennel with not only gaining the International Beauty Championshipt, but also champion titles in some countries, THE girl who brought great dogs with her offspring, of which we can be very proud. The most heartfelt congratulation to our big treasure!!! We are grateful for the daily joy she brings to this home, and that we are owned by her. A repeated thanks goes to her breeders who entrusted us this great girl at the age of 15 months.
And on February 8 our O litter celebrated the 2nd birthday. All the best to Macho (ONE MAN STANDING), Gatsby (ONE OF HIS OWN), Freya (OUT OF REACH), Esprit (ON CLOUD No1), Story (ON SILENT WINGS), Sly (OVER THE TOP) and Minu (ONE HOT MINUTE).

Yesterday our eagerly anticipated new family member has arrived after a long flight. Happiness was big to welcome little Emily-Rose/Emmy (Explicit's SHUT UP I'M STILL TALKING) here in the family. After she had slept sound and long she has already friended all the other ones here. She is a very cheerul, funny and eager to learn girl who keeps all the family busy.

The next birthday: Jaris (HAPPY JARIS Dandy Mate) is 6 years today. Happy birthday sweet lady!
January 22, 2014:
Today it was meant to say good-bye to Macho (Caipirinha's ONE MAN STANDING), who started his long trip to the USA early in the morning with our friend Marlene. He will be very much missed ...... it is not easy to let a nearly 2 years old dog go ...... a part of the heart has gone with him. But he has a great home where he is loved and in best hands. In summer there will hopefully be a reunion. Macho has arrived safe in the "stopover" and will continue his to his new family tomorrow by car.
All the best dear Macho, have lots of fun and joy in your new home, and lots of success when you are in the show ring.

It is 13 years today that our first Briard boy, Sándor (Champ. SÁNDOR von Anitzberg) left to the other side of the Rainbow Bridge. It was him who made us adicted to this breed. We still miss this "gentleman" so much. ...... A candle has been lit.

The first birthdays this year: It is five years today that our L litter was born, and four years ago the M litter was born. Happy Birthday to all the kids from these two litters.

This is a very sad day as we had to open our arms and say good-bye to our beloved and special Briard boy Frizzy (FRIZZANTE FURIOSO GRIS de la Maison du Garde-Barrière). He was the very last direct offspring of our so very much missed Yazoo (Sél. LOULOU des Cèdres de la Montagne Noire). Another piece of our heats is broken, and with this passing another wonderful epoche of our lives is over. He was the first born of our F litter and the last one to go. ...... Frizzy was full of energy all his life long and had a huge desire to live: stomach surgery at the age of 5 months because of swallowed stones, major tumor surgery at the age of 9 years and another major stomach and intestinal surgery at the age of 12.5 years because of a swallowed stuffed toy. Within only 10 days he was back to himself and surprised our vet with being very active again. The boy will be cremated on January 8, 2014, and his urn will be placed besides his mother and other dearly missed family members.
Frizzy, you will be very much missed, but in our hearts you'll live forever and all the memories will make us strong to go through this time of grief. Thanks that you owned us for 13 years and 14 days, thanks for your unconditional love, and thanks that you were such a great companion for all the four pawed family members in this house - no matter if tiny, small or big. Run free with your mother, your siblings and all the family members on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge.
