Today I had the pleasure of attending the International show in Backa Topola/SRB. The organisation was absolutely amazing.
Dyoma (Multi-Champ. Magic of Success DIAMOND) received Exc. 1 and CAC, which this time was just for fun because he is already Serbian Champion and Grandchampion for 2 years now. Congrats Liubov for breeding such a nice and successful boy.
I would like to thank the kind and professial judging today from judge Darko Spasić. I was so very pleased from how he approached the dogs to how he talked so kindly to all of them. I think it was noticable that not only the people showing but also the judges enjoyed their time in the ring.
After many years of being friends on Facebook I could finally meet Iana. It was lovely to compete with such a nice person, I would like to congratulate on the BOB and the Group 3rd.
Lastly I would like to thank Szonja for being my BBF but also my helping hand in everything I need. It is always so nice to be with her and have good laughs. And thanks to her mother Edit to allow her joing me.

I'm over the moon after today's show in Turija/SRB: My boy Dyoma (Multi-Champ. Magic of Success DIAMOND), bred and raised by Liubov was stunning and went home with Exc. 1 CAC CACIB and BOS after a nice show rest since Febuary. With the CACIB he finally finished the FCI International Championship. I would sincerely like to thank today's judge Bojan Cukic, his kind words and lovely critics touched the bottom of my heart.
I want to thank Szonja for the great company she provided and the amazing grooming she did for my sweet darling. We always work so well together and have the best time.
Dyoma was groomed with Tauro products, nutrion with Nature's Protection, both from Cotonluv.com | Tauro Germany.

Wishing a very Happy Birthday to Kennel Jamming's M litter, especially to MAFIA from Lella & Samu, to MARIO from Milja and to my own Mamacita. 5 years young today. May they all remain healthy for many more years, and as happy, cuddly and special as they are.
Congrats to Lella & Samu for having bred such special dogs. And once again a big thank you that you allowed Mamacita to be a very big part of my life!
August 15-17/2025:
Three days IDS Bratislava/SK 15 to 17 August:
Mamacita (CIB Ch HU BALT LT EE LV FIN SK MN SLO SRB RO BIH RS GrCh SK RO SRB BIH JSRB Jamming’s MAMACITA) likes to be in the show ring. As she is already Champ. and GrChamp. Slovakie, I decided to enter her in Honor class. She was rated Exc. 1 Class Winner each day and therewith gained the title Honor Champion Slovakia just one day prior to her 5th birthday.
This summer show was a real challenge: held on the beautiful horse race track Bratislava, but ........ most of the rings in pure sunshine - same with the tents of the exhibitors. Friday was 33° C, Saturday even 35° C. Thank goodness we had our sun protecting nets for tent and umbrella, else we would not have been able to go through that „self made torture“. Still, it was great to join each other and spend some time together after quite a long time - and to meet other friends. Looking forward to meet Ulli sooner or later this year at another show.
Today was quite good temperature but lots of wind which made it hard to show the powderpuffs in pretty good hair style.
My very special friend Ulrike joined us on the first two days. Congratulations for her results: 2 CAC and 1 Res. CACIB with her pp male Ch. SK Victory’s Laurel MY LIFE REMIX.
Thanks to Roman Szurma who provided me with the pretty photo of Mamacita from the first day.
More photos can be found in Mamacita's Photo Gallery/Show.
Congratulations to Lella & Samu Wikström for another title on their sweet offspring.

It's a year today that my soulmate Maverick (CIB Multi-Champ. Caipirinha's NEED 4SPEED) crossed the Rainbow Bridge - too early of course. He left a gap that can never be filled.
You were my favorite HELLO and my hardest GOODBYE

At the night show in Sarvar/HU on July 19, Mamacita (CIB Ch BALT LT EE LV FIN SK MN SLO SRB RO BIH RS GrCh SK RO SRB BIH JSRB Jamming’s MAMACITA) was shown and got Exc. 1 class winner without title (judge argued that she did not have her tail up when stacked ???). Well, sh.. happens. Memy (CIB Champ. HU, BG, MD, PH, AZ, ShowCh. HU INCREDIBLE ME von Shinbashi) was also shown in veteran class, she got Exc. 1 Best Veteran and therewith finished the Hungarian Veteran Championship.
Both girls did a great job and these results of course, don't change the love I have for my wonderful dogs.
July 9, 2025:
Today I received some pretty new dog beds from Olena Babenko. Designed and sewed with love.
THANKS SO MUCH dear Olena. My dogs never ever had such beautiful beds. And thanks for adding 6 sewed squeeky toys and the nice blanket. Whenever I need more, I will for sure let you know. And of course I will recommend your great work.

On my way from the vet I had to stop this time to take a pic of the stork family . I'm always happy when I see them, and yearly I can't wait that they come back from their winter "holiday" somewhere in the south.

Today Caiprinha's N litter celebrates 14th birthday. Best wishes to Needy (Caipirinha's NEEDLESS 2SAY) in Germany. I don't have any information if Tanner (Caipirinha's NUTBUSH CITY LIMIT) in Canada and Toulouse (Caipirinhas's NOTHING 2LOSE) in Germany are still alive. However, I also sent them the best wishes.
For my very much missed Maverick (CIB Multi-Champ. Caipirinha's NEED 4SPEED) a candle has been lit. Happy Birthday to the other side of the bridge.

Back from the three-day international show in Herend/HU. Only just three weeks after her return from Finland, my "superdog" Mamacita (CIB Ch BALT LT EE LV FIN SK MN SLO SRB RO BIH RS GrCh SK RO SRB BIH JSRB Jamming’s MAMACITA) rocked the show rings, claiming another championship with three class wins and two Res. CACIB. She is now also Beauty Champion of Hungary.

It's a sad day. Jaris (HAPPY JARIS Dandy mate) gained her angel wings this morning at the age of 17 years, 3 months, and 8 days. A wonderful age, no doubt about it, but it still hits me hard. She was healthy all her life, a sweet and friendly dog to everyone else in the pack, always funny and full of joy ......
Jaris, you will be missed. Now you are reunited with your children and their father, Steel (Champ. Silver Bluff STEEL KING LEGACY, AOM). Farewell until we meet again. I'm sorry I wasn't with you in your final hours, but was at a show instead. If I had known that this was your time, I would have stayed home.
And on this very day, 7 years ago, my soulmate Keanu (CIB Multi-Champ, Whispering in the Devil's Advocate) was taken from me completely unexpectedly.
A candle was lit for them both.
May 1, 2025:
Finally, another day to celebrate: today, Hippie (CIB Multi-Champ. by Shinbashi HIGH PROVOCATION) turns 8 years young. Happy birthday! I wish us many, many more years together.
April 22, 2025:
On this day in 1989, Arwa Z. (ARWA Zevar CS, SchH 1) was born, the Briard girl I rescued from her previous owner's senseless euthanasia. A wonderful dog, grateful for everything throughout her life, a wonderful mother to the A-litter de la Maison du Garde-Barrière, and Marko's best friend. Congratulations to the other side.
April 14, 2025:
The days of remembrance never end: it's been 15 years since I had to send Oh-Lala (Sel. OH-LALA des Monts d'en Crauzille) on her final journey. Another wonderful dog who will never be forgotten.
April 13, 2025:
Another day of remembrance: just five days after his 12th birthday, Sambo (SAMBO de la Chaume du Bois Dieu) passed away forever in 2013. A candle is lit for him.
April 11, 2005:
The big day has finally arrived. Mamacita (CIB Ch BALT LT EE LV FIN SK MN SLO SRB RO BIH RS GrCh SK RO SRB BIH JSRB Jamming’s MAMACITA) is coming home today.
I met Samu in Brno/CZ, where he will be exhibiting at the EDS 2025. The welcome was indescribable. Mamacita wouldn't stop kissing me. When we got home, she followed me everywhere, played, and jumped onto my lap for a cuddle as soon as I sat down. I promised her I would never let her leave again. The pack was happy to have her home, too.
I don't know if it helped that I kept sending Mamacita voice messages so she wouldn't forget who I was, but I did it regularly, and Milja often sent me videos of Mamacita's joy when she heard my voice. In the voice message Lella played the day before she left back to me, she even went to the dog door to see if I was there. That video (from April 7) is in the Photo Gallery Mamacita down below the albums.
These videos have always touched me deeply, and I'm very grateful to Milja and Lella for sending them to me.
Thanks again to Milja for everything she's done for and with Mamacita, and thanks again to Lella and Samu for giving me the opportunity to attend exhibitions with my sweet little girl that would have been simply impossible for me. It was worth it, but it wasn't an easy time.
April 8, 2025:
It's the birthday of the G-litter de the Maison du Garde-Barrière and Sambo (SAMBO de la Chaume du Bois Dieu). Warmest congratulations to all seven on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge.
March 23, 2025:
Another birthday: Jag Junior (JAG LE CANNIBAL JUNIOR de la Chaume du Bois Dieu) is celebrating his 11th birthday today and is, of course, being thoroughly spoiled. Happy Birthday Jag!
March 21, 2025:
Another special birthday: Memy (CIB Multi-Champ. INCREDIBLE ME von Shinbashi) is 14 years today. You can't really tell her age; she's still full of energy and zest for life. May it stay that way for many more years. All the best, my sweet little girl.
Memy's 14th birthday
March 20, 2025:
Today Dyoma (Multi-Champ. Magic of Success DIAMOND) and I were supposed to travel with Szonja to the four shows in Banja Luka/BIH. Unfortunately, due to family reasons, this trip had to be canceled. It's a shame, because the weekends in Banja Luka have always been very nice.
March 13, 2025:
Today, Milja wrote very kind words about Mamacita on Facebook:
"It is soon time to say goodbye to Mamacita ❤️What a wonderful time we have had since the end of June when she arrived to Finland. I’m a bit speechless and even emotionally moved because it feels like she has been here long time, and she has become so damn important, like my own dogs, to me! My dogs will most likely miss her too, she is a part of pack now. Especially Giia, Mamacita is her best friend
Mamacita came here to visit some dog shows and during her stay we achieved few new titles to add in front of her name:
Finnish Champion, Estonian Champion, Latvian Champion, Lithuanian Champion, Baltic Champion.
Major thank you Gerda, the owner of Mamacita, for your trust in my work and letting your precious treasure to come live with our family.
She shared the following photos as a keepsake.

Mamacita's (CIB Multi-Champ. Jamming's MAMACITA) show time with dear Milja is over, and now the countdown begins until my sweetheart returns home in a month.
It's time to say a huge THANK YOU to Lella and Samu – not only for this extraordinary girl, but also for the opportunity to travel to Finland and participate in shows in countries I would otherwise never have been able to visit.
The same heartfelt THANK YOU goes to dear Milja, who unhesitatingly took Mamacita in during those eight months, cared for her so well, loved her, groomed and looked after her professionally, and kept me constantly updated with photos, videos, and information. Of course, I also thank Milja's mother, Liisa, who looked after her when Milja wasn't home.
Thanks also to Team Jamming's/Milja's friends when Milja needed help with handling when she was showing her own dogs. I will be eternally grateful to all of you!!! ❤
I can't wait until I can hold Mamacita in my arms again. I don't think I'll ever part with one of my furballs again.
Mamacita
Milja responded: "Mamacita has grown so close to my heart. I bet the whole family, including the dogs, will miss her. ❣️ I also believe that after this 'vacation,' she will be the happiest girl ever to come home. Thank you again for your trust."
March 11, 2025:
Now it's official. Today, the certificates for the Lithuanian and Baltic Championships and rosettes for Mamacita's (CIB Multi-Champ. Jamming's MAMACITA) arrived. That was really quick; the titles were confirmed on March 5, 2025.

The next birthday greetings across the Rainbow Bridge: the C-litter de la Maison du Garde-Barrière was born on this day in 1998. Happy birthday to the children of Samson (UGO de la Morne Plaine) and Yazoo (Sel. LOULOU des Cèdres de la Montagne Noire, CGC).
February 28, 2025:
And another birthday greeting goes across the Rainbow Bridge: this one is for Samson (UGO de la Morne Plaine), who passed away far too early at the age of just 9 years. He, too, lives on in my heart.
February 22, 2025:
Today, Mamacita (CIB Multi-Champ. Jamming's MAMACITA) participated in the national show in Panevezys/LT. Under judge Branislav Rajic from Slovenia, she won her class, received the CAC, and was named Best Female (N-CAC)/BOS. Three videos from this show can now be found below the photo albums in Photo Gallery Mamacita.
Mamacita Panevezys/LT
This means she qualifies for the Lithuanian Beauty Champion title. And since she has already won the Finnish, Latvian, and Estonian Championships, she will also be awarded the title of Baltic Champion.
Great, Milja, I'm so proud of you. Thank you for your wonderful care and excellent handling.
February 11, 2025:
A birthday greeting goes across the Rainbow Bridge to my still sorely missed Ula (CIB Multi-Champion, Family Song's ULA). She is and will always be remembered. As always, a candle has been lit for her.
February 8, 2025:
Happy 13th birthday to the Caipirinha’s O litter. Stay healthy and have some more nice years with your owners.
Februar 7, 2025:
Today, Dyoma (Multi-Champ. Magic of Success DIAMOND) and myself travelled to Budapest/HU for the Champion of Champions show. I actually only registered him so that he could get back into the ring after a long break from shows.
But contrary to all expectations, Dyoma was my big star. My sweet little male won his class and was Best Male with BOS against tough competition. I never would have expected that. With the BOS, he became Hungarian Beauty Champion according to the regulations of this special annual show. I was simply overwhelmed. The title was immediately confirmed, and Dyoma received another beautiful certificate.

There are two videos from that day – one of the class win and one of the BOB competition. They can be found here down below the photo albums.
Well done Milja, one step closer to the championship. Thank you!

January 9, 2025:
A year ago, I had to say goodbye to Mojito (Caipirinha's MOJITO BACCARDI) - just one day before his 14th birthday. He is unforgotten and will always be. A candle was lit for him.
January 6, 2025:
It's been eleven years since my beloved Frizzy (FRIZZANTE FURIOSO GRIS de la Maison du Garde-Barrière) began his journey across the Rainbow Bridge. He is missed like the first day. The lit candle is meant to show him that he is never forgotten.
