Two years ago my beloved Ula (Multi-Champ Family Song's ULA) closed her eyes forever.
October 28 - 30, 2022:
In the short term, after 14 years, I decided to participate once again in international shows in Slovakia. So I spent three days with Dyoma (Magic of Success DIAMOND) and Mamacita (Multi-Champ. Jamming's MAMACITA) participated in the Danube CACIB exhibitions in Bratislava/SK.
Both left the show ring on all three shows with very nice results: Dyoma won his class three times and received 3 x CAC and on the last day the Res. CACIB. Mamacita also won her class on all days and received 3 x CAC as well as Res. CACIB on the first two days.
Now both need a CAC each in the next exhibition season so that they are Beauty Champions Slovakia.
With this extended exhibition weekend, our season is finally over and I hope that the break is over quickly and we can travel again.

Today is another day of remembrance:
Steel (Champ. Silver Bluff STEEL KING LEGACY, AOM) has birthday. Congratulations to him on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge. A candle was lit for the occasion.

After many years, two dogs from here took part in a show in Slovakia: Today the club show of the Chinese Crested Club Slovakia took place in Pezinok. It was Dyoma's (Magic of Success DIAMOND) first appearance in Intermediate Class, Mamacita (Multi-Champ. Jamming's MAMACITA) who ran in Champion Class, and for both it was the very first time indoors.
t was a long day for us, because before the club show there was a regional show for all breeds in the hall, which ended at 6 p.m. instead of 3 p.m. Therewith the club show started three hours late. And despite this long wait, Dyoma and Mamacita were fully motivated when it was finally their turn. Both dogs won their class and got the CAC. I'm particularly proud of Dyoma, who was only in the ring for the third time in his life and gave his best with confidence.
Each exhibitor received a bag with lots of treats and kibble food, as well as measuring cups and dosing spoons. The placed dogs also received beautiful wooden figures. A bottle of sparkling wine was in the bags for each of the owners. Thanks to the organization and the new board of the club for their successful first club show and the nice gifts.

It would be the birthday of Keanu (CIB Multi-Champ. Whisperingln' THE DEVILS ADVOCATE), my very special male. Congratulations to the other side of the Rainbow Bridge. He's missing like on the first day. Let the burning candle show him that I am with him in mind.

On September 22nd Hippie (CIB Multi-Champ. by Shinbashi HIGHPROVOCATION), Mamacita (Multi-Champ. Jamming's MAMACITA) and Dyoma (Magic of Success DIAMOND) started the journey towards Montenegro. We spent the first afternoon and the first night in an accommodation in Gospic/HR. A nice big house off the streets with nothing than the green and forest all around. Great for the dogs to roam after the long ride. From here there are two videos of the dogs, found in the video pages of Dyoma and Mamacita down below the photo albums. The next morning we continued to our destination Niksic/MNE in a perfect accommodation for dogs: a small cottage with completely fenced garden by great, friendly and very helpful hosts. The first exhibition of the Trebjesa Cup began on Sunday.
For Dyoma it was the very first show of his life and he beat himself very bravely, considering that he could not really learn much or gain experience due to the war in Ukraine. Judging was by Mr. Milivoje Urosevic/SRB. He left the ring with Exc. 1, Junior Winner, Best Junior, Junior BOB. Hippie got Exc. 1 and CAC in champion class, and Mamacita went out of the open class as the most successful of the three with Exc. 1, CAC, CACIB and BOB. So not enough, she then rocked the ring of honor and left this under the same judge as Group Winner.
Unfortunately, on the second day we had constant rain with some thunderstorms, strong winds and clouds - on a sports field without roof, without tent,....... But that didn't stop my three favorites from doing their best again. Under judge Mr. Nebojsa Surbatovic/SRB Dyoma received again Exc. 1, Junior Winner, Best Junior, Junior BOB, Hippie again Exc. 1, CAC and Mamacita Exc. 1, CAC and Res. CACIB. Even though all of us - dogs and humans - were soaked up to the skin despite rainwear, this did not obfuscate the mood with such results.
Thanks to the organization, the achieved Championships could be applied for and taken over immediately. For Dyoma there was the Junior Champion Montenegro and Grand Junior Champion Montenegro. Hippie and Mamacita received the Beauty Champions Montenegro. As an addition there were further titles for both girls due to some Championships they already acquired in other countries of the EU and non EU: Champion Adria, Champion Balkan, Champion Yugoslavia, Champion Mediterranean and Champion Nato. The Champion certificates can be seen in the pages of the individual dogs as well as in their show results pages.

Today four years ago Naomi (DEJA-VU NAOMII Dandy Mate) crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Exactly one year later Voodoo (Champ. Family Song's VOODOO), my very first Chinese Crested.
September 18, 2022:
Emily-Rose celebrates her 9th birthday today. Best wishes.
September 9, 2022:
A difficult day for me: Today I had to decide with the help of the veterinarian that I open my arms and let Sterling (Champ. Daretobebare STERLING SILVER) go over the Rainbow. From one day to the next, she gave herself up and no longer accepted food. Nevertheless, I must be grateful that since the diagnosis of kidney insufficiency at the age of 15 1/2 in October 2021, we could remain almost a year united. At 16 years, 3 months and 2 days, she was my oldest dog of all time.
Fortunately, I have very nice memories of this lovely, friendly, hassle-free and cordial girl who came here at the age of just under four years. The most intense memory is her arrival here: She had lived in the USA with Steel (Champ. Silver Bluff STEEL KING LEGACY, AOM), who came to me in August 2009. The joy of both being reunited after about half a year is indescribable. Now they have each other again - this time after 4 years.
Sterling is cremated on September 16th, and I will take her home forever on the 17th.
August 27, 2022:
Dyoma (Magic of Success DIAMOND) has settled in really well after a week and is a happy, playful male. He has already had his first bath and it went really well. Because of the warm weather, he was allowed to air dry. Let's see how he does when the hair dryer has to be used.
Some new photos and videos could be taken. For the photos, the Youth album was set up in Dyoma's Photo Gallery. The videos can be seen below the individual photo albums.
August 18, 2022:
There was a new addition to the house today. My new male from the Ukraine has arrived safely here after an x-day journey: Dyoma (Magic of Success DIAMOND) - another powderpuff that I intend to show together with Hippie (CIB Multi-Champ. von Shinbashi HIGHPROVOCATION) and Mamacita (Multi-Champ. Jamming's MAMACITA).But now the most important thing is that he settles in well.
Many thanks to his breeder Liubov Herych for entrusting me with this sweet little guy. I'll do my best to make her proud.
A first photo album has already been set up for Dyoma with photos that Liubov sent me. Also two videos are already published.
And then there is another birthday to celebrate: Mamacita is 2 years old today. The warmest congratulations to the sun of this house, to the sweet little whirlwind.
July 9, 2022:
Four years ago, Steel (Champ. Silver Bluff STEEL KING LEGACY AOM) left forever. This small, adorable, extremely lovable and grateful male is missed here like on the first day. A candle was lit for him.
July 4, 2022:
Today we - Mamacita (Multi-Champ. Jamming's MAMACITA), Hippie (CIB Multi-Champ. von Shinbashi HIGHPROVOCATION) and I - came home from a wonderful and extremely successful show weekend in Rogla/SLO. Another dream has come true: Mamacita is now Slovenian Beauty Champion after four great performances in the show rings:
 |
 |
This is the fifth championship of the youngest girl here. I don't have to emphasize how proud I am of the sweet little mouse.
There were four shows in total: on 7/1 a national, on 7/2 an international and a special of the Slovenian Toy Breed Club and on 7/3 again an international one. Mamacita left the ring on the first two days of both shows with BOB, in the Special she was Best Female and BOB, and on the third day she became class winner. With three class wins, she has fulfilled the conditions for the Slovenian Beauty Championship. I never, ever expected that she would then leave the ring with BOB three times under 12 entries of her breed and win the special. The detailed achievements can be seen in Mamacita's Show Success page.
The show was excellently organized, many thanks to the whole Rogla Team. A beautiful area with extensive possibilities for walks, enough space for tents and cars. The evaluations and entitlement cards were sent to the exhibitors by email after a short time, which is great and many countries could take an example from this. On the last day you could then apply for the championship directly on site by showing your qualifying cards on your cell phone, the confirmation was printed out immediately.
The accommodation was also excellent: an apartment in a beautiful, well-kept house with a beautifully landscaped garden between extensive pastures and hills, without any traffic noise and with an impressive view.

Everything is clean, the apartment is spacious and has a nice balcony, the garden offers plenty of space for dog walks, pleasant walks and a hostess and her family, as one could wish for - and very dog-friendly. We were greeted warmly and immediately offered something to drink. Whenever you need something, the whole family is immediately available. I recommend Apartman Panorama in 3214 Zrece to everyone who wants to travel around Rogal area.
For me, the past exhibition weekend was the best so far this year - not only because of the great successes.
New photos that we took after the shows in the host's garden can be seen in the album Mamacita - grown up. And in the photo gallery under the individual albums there are also two videos from the exhibition on July 2nd.
June 14, 2022:
Now it is official ...... Mamacita (Multi-Champ. Jamming's MAMACITA) is Beauty Champion of Serbia. Today the certificate and diploma arrived.
June 8, 2022:
Since it was sunny and dry again, the birthday video of Sterling could be made a day late. It can be found in the Photo Gallery down below the photo album.
June 7, 2022:
Today is a very special day: The oldest girl of the pack celebrates her 16th birthday: Best wishes to Sterling (Champ. Daretobebares STERLING SILVER). May I be able to accompany this sweet, lovable and friendly girl for a long time to come.
Unfortunately it rained non-stop and so I couldn't make a video of the sweet lady in her new suit in the garden. Hence just a photo of Sterling in her favorite bed.
May 30, 2022:
Mamacita (Multi-Champ. Jamming's MAMACITA), Hippie (Multi-Champ. von Shinbashi HIGHPROVOCATION) and I came back from Serbia, where yesterday Mamacita took part in the international show in Subotica.She was very successful again: CAC and CACIB and now she fulfills all the conditions for the title Beauty Champion Serbia. She has won her fourth championship in just two months.
It was a very well organized show on a great site. Luckily the forecast rain didn't come. And we met again our friends Helga from Hungary and Zoran with his wife Dolly from Italy and spent a nice time together. The accommodation booked was excellent and is recommended: Gray Apartment directly in Subotica. The hostess is a lovely, helpful and dog-friendly woman. Thank you Zeljka!.
There was also a surprise in the mailbox after the return: Mamacita's Beauty Championships of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Republic of Srpska were awarded on April 4th and the confirmations and certificates have arrived.
In the Photo Gallery of Mamacita there are some new photos under grown up.

The Caipirinha's N litter is celebrating its 11th birthday today. All the best to my beloved Maverick (Multi-Champ. Caipirinha's NEED 4SPEED), to Needy (Caipirinha's NEEDLESS 2SAY) and Toulouse (Caipirinha's NOTHING 2LOSE) in Germany and to Tanner (Champ. Caipirinha's NUTBUSH CITY LIMIT) in Canada. May all four be granted many more healthy years.
May 21, 2022:
Voodoo (Champ. Family Song's VOODOO) celebrates his birthday on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge today. This little, spirited male will never be forgotten - my first Chinese Crested. And again a candle burns here in the house.
May 18, 2022:
It's been four years since Porsche (Caipirinha's PINK HOT PORSCHE) died just 3 days after a surgery of a pulmonary embolism at the tender age of just four. He's still missed here, this funny and lovable male. He is also commemorated with the burning candle.
May 15, 2022:
We - Mamacita (Champ. Jamming's MAMACITA), Hippie (Multi-Champ. von Shinbashi HIGHPROVOCATION) and I - came home from Serbia this evening. Mamacita took part in the international show in Ada yesterday. Unfortunately, this time things didn't go quite as hoped, which I only noticed when I was in the accommodation when I looked at the judge's report: The judge had first judged the hairless and powderpuff separately. But as it turned out, he let the class run together and so Mamacita "only" got the Res. CAC, as a bonus the Res. CACIB. Because I didn't notice this at the exhibition, it was no longer possible to ask or complain. That's a pity, because when I asked the club about the report, I was told that the CAC will be awarded separately. Well, that was probably a bit of a letdown. One can only hope that next time it will go as one is told.
May 15, 2022:
Happy 8th birthday to Caipirinha's P litter, namely Prada and Pagani in Germany and Porsche on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge. A candle was lit for him.
May 4, 2022:
Tonight we - Mamacita (Champ. Jamming's MAMACITA), Hippie (Multi-Champ. von Shinbashi HIGHPROVOCATION) and I came back from our short vacation in Croatia. During this holiday Mamacita attended two of the Zadar International Shows, which she finished with very good results. On April 29th she got CAC and Res. CACIB and on May 2nd CAC, CACIB and BOS.
Once again we met nice people and spent a great week at Zaton Holiday Resort - except for the first two nights, which were disturbed by mice scurrying about in the false ceiling. During the day there was nice warm, sunny weather and finally - after three years - I could enjoy again grilled squid with chard potatoes and other very good fish dishes. As always, the beautiful, relaxing time passed far too quickly and the week was over soon. Let's see if we can do this trip again next year.
There are some new photos in Mamacita's Photo Gallery grown up.
May 2, 2022:
A sad day for me, it still hurts a lot to think of Keanu (Multi-Champ. Whisperingln' THE DEVILS ADVOCATE) who crossed the Rainbow Bridge four years ago. The lit candle shall show him that my thoughts are with him.
May 1, 2022:
During the short vacation in Croatia the 5th birthday of one of my most successful girls is celebrated: Hippie (Multi-Champ. von Shinbashi HIGHPROVOCATION).
All the best to the pretty princess who is spoiled all day long and enjoyed a long walk in the forest of Zaton Holiday Resort together with Mamacita (Champ. Jamming's MAMACITA).
April 11, 2022:
The second show weekend of this year is behind Mamacita (Jamming's MAMACITA). Together with Hippie (Multi-Champ. von Shinbashi HIGH PROVOCATION) waren wir in Satu Mare/RO. we were in Satu Mare/RO. And again, the youngest of the house was able to achieve great success: she got CAC and BOB at the national show and CAC, CACIB and BOB at the international show. Thereby she fulfilled the conditions for the Beauty Champion Romania and got hold of her third championship.
As for the weather, it was the worst show I've ever been to. It rained non-stop on Saturday, which is absolutely no fun at an outdoor show with a long-haired dog. Besides, it was very windy and freezing cold. We even had frost at night. The show grounds and the organization were excellent, lots of nice and helpful people, and we made new friends who we hope to meet again at another show soon. The lodging was rustic and old, run by very warm and friendly hosts. For our needs of having a room to sleep it was ok.
March 28, 2022:
The first show weekend with the show marathon in Banja Luka/BIH is behind us. Mamacita (Jamming's MAMACITA) ran in intermediate class for the first time and rocked the show ring at all 4 shows (2 national and 2 international). From CAC 1 she left the ring with CAC and BOB, from CACIB 1 with CAC, CACIB and BOB, from CAC 2 again with CAC and BOB and from CACIB 2 again with CAC, CACIB and BOB. With the first two show results she fulfills the conditions for the Beauty Champion of the Republic of Srpska and with the additional result of the third exhibition the conditions for the Beauty Champion of Bosnia and Herzegovina. I'm so proud of the smallest of the pack. I refrained from appearing in the group rings because these shows were the first in a tent and I didn't want to stress the inexperienced bitch too much. I apologized to all four judges for their absence and they accepted it with understanding and thanked them.
The journeys were a little tiring because of the Croatia/Bosnia-Herzegovina border, seven and a half hours each way. For this we - Hippie (Multi-Champ. von Shinbashi HIGH PROVOCATION), Mamacita and I - were rewarded with a beautiful accommodation in the hills behind Banja Luka: a beautiful, well-kept holiday home with a cozy garden, totally quiet, only 2 direct neighbors and in the best way suitable for walks. The homeowner is a very nice, helpful and very dog-friendly host who can be reached at any time if necessary. Because the house cannot be reached directly via the data from Google Maps, he arranged a meeting point with me in Banja Luka and took me the 20-minute drive to the quarters. This house - Country House - is very suitable for a vacation with dogs. Many thanks to Bojan for letting me live there with Mamacita and Hippie.
March 21, 2022:
There are some new photos of Mamacita (Jamming's MAMACITA) in her photo album "grown up" and a video of Sterling (Champ. Daretobebares STERLING SILVER) who is 15 years and 9 months from 03/19/2022 - also in her photo gallery below her photo slideshow.
