My very first litter!

When I got Prada, I got a splendid broodbitch for my breeding from well-known awesome multitalent dog Maru. But I also got new blood from Prada's beautiful czech dam Pipi. Prada has grown up as mediumsized bitch with very nice expression and good trunk. I'm also impressed her character and suitability for dogsports! She is true lurecourser, nice obedience-dog and good tracker. We have competed in lure coursing and obedience with nice results. Hopefully we will compete someday in working dog trials.

Prada is easy but active dog in everydaylife! She likes to work and do a lot, but also can relax on the sofa like couch potato-ridgebacks do. ;) Prada has passed the finnish mentaltest very young (age 2 years) and she is gunshotproof. She has also been tested with swedish mental test by Barbro Börjesson, results HERE.

Prada is social and openminded towards other dogs and especially people! Se gets along very well with children. Prada doesn't even know the cause "reserved towards stange people". ;)

Prada has done nicely in showrings! She is Show Champion of four countries and has many BOB/BOS-placements and has been BIG twice and BIG-2 once! You can read all Prada's critique in her own show-page!

 

Finally I have the feeling that I have found the right one for Prada!

I met Minos first time in Denmark. I had visited his webpage before, but alive he made huge impression on me! By both nature and looks! Minos behaved so calm and selfconfident among other dogs, people and children. I think he has truly iron-nerves. ;) Minos lives with his owners and their son. Minos also meets a lot of doggyfriends.

Minos is quite big and stong male, which suits very well for Prada, who is a bit smaller and lighter overall. Minos has gorgeus, stong bone, quite long body, beutiful chest and ribcage and stong, round paws! These external properties completes nicely to Pradas looks. Both Minos and Prada has very nice neck, gorgeous head and expression, beautiful and clear coatcolour, excellent strong backline and good angulations. Minos also has a bit bigger ears than Prada.

Minos already has very impressive offspring in kennel Rex Ventors (R-litter) and kennel Ghali (D-litter).

Both Prada and Minos has very pleasant characters, but I believe that Minos' balanced and self confident nature will complete Prada's character.

Both has been healthy and their siblings has been mainly healthy aswell. One of Prada's sisters died in some structural heardproblem at the age of one year. That's why we have made veterinary examination (ultrasound and x-ray) for Prada to check her heart. It was totally ok and healthy. None of other siblings has had any problems with heart.

You can found my litter's 6-gen pedigree HERE!

Prada has been mated by Minos in Sweden 25. and 26.5.2011!

From this combination I expect physically and mentally healthy dogsport-/showdogs and of course lovely and impressive familymembers for everydaylife!

All inquiries are welcome! Don't hesitate to ask anything by e-mail or a phonecall!
You also might meet me and Prada on dogshows or obedience trials! :)
