YEAR 2009

Our pack
In spring I had Gloria, Acanthe and Courage for training at my home for a few months.
A big loss for our pack was Mafia's death, she was almost 14 years old...

Health
The veterinary was only needed for the anual vaccinations.

Sport

The beginning of this year was excellent, Xara passed her IPO 3 in Germany, Gloria and Acanthe after few weeks of training the exam BH. After preparing Acanthe for 3 months she passed IPO-V and ZVV 1 (Czech national program, simillar to the IPO 1). Acanthe is a real daughter of her mom with the same excitment for working. I'm sure that she could achieve the same level as Xara, but unfortunatelly she does not live with me and we can't spend enough time together for the proper preparation. B'jolie passed the Fpr 1 (tracking exam), later ZZO and ZOP (obedience) and continues to train with my dear friend Lucie Kovacova.
I was glad to hear that Barbas WS passed 7 exams this year, Everest 4 and Daikiry 3. Congratulations to their owners and keep on going!

The first meeting of WS in Holland and Czech rep. worked out well, thanks to everybody who participated!

Shows

I was not very active in shows this year. I participated on the RE where Gloria and Cyrus accomplished the french cotation Excellent. The NE did not bring us any outstanding results, at the Dutch NE we did better. Our puppies were doing great at the Czech NE. Next year you can expect to see us in the show rings more offten! Beside a few international shows I plan to participate on the french NE and maybe also czech, dutch and belgian NE.

Breeding

In February Belisa gave us 7 beautiful puppies! For now I can say that my goal for this litter worked out well, the pups have a strong bone structure, excellent coat and before all great characters! Thanks to Radko Beranek who took care of this puppies for 101%!
The complicated christmas mating last year was worth the trouble! The birth giving was in cold february, that night we did not have electricity in the house, the puppies were born in the dark. The reward was 6 males and 1 female. Few weeks later our home was dominated by the Captain Hivere and her "male-demolition team". This female found a home with family Hertoux - the well known breeders of Ronja.
In September 8 puppies were born from Gloria and Troy! The litter was in the care of Vlasta Hauf. At the age of 7 weeks I got to know these puppies as friendly, high temper and social. Unfortunatelly 3 weeks after placing, Indy was returned to Mr.Hauf and is still waiting to be replaced.
After delaying the mating of Xara in spring (because of her exam), we drove to France during her next heat. For the last litter of Xara I picked Ulysse - I choosed this male for his great working skills, his will to please is simillar to Xara's. While writing this article, this puppies are 6 weeks old and they are all reday showing high temper!
The heat of Carmen came 6 weeks earlier than expected, and I had sleepless nights over wether or not to mate her as planned, but the reasons "for" were more convincing and the result is 6 wonderful pups.

Plan

Next year I want to train intensely, especially with Cyrus and Carmen. I'm organizing another Warrior Soul meeting in Holland and Czech rep. and also one week of training camp for all working breeds.

Personal wish
I allow my self not to be modest :o)
Rich experiences and hapiness while training with my dogs, breeding healthy puppies and a successful procedure of the organized camp.

Best wishes for 2010 to our friends, owners of the WS puppies and all people that stand behind us!
