My
life
has
always
been
connected
with
animals,
and
not
the
least
dogs!
I
bought
my
first
one
1976,
a
lovely
Irish
wolf
hound
by
the
name: Cu Chulainn Ceres who
became
a
good
start
in
my
interest
in
dog
shows
and
breeding
(he
had
some
really
big
wins-which
tends
to
make
it
fun).
It
all
resulted
in
buying
a
female
and
subsequently
start
breeding
dogs!
Sadly
I
have
decided
to
quit
Irish
Wolf
hound
although
I
long
pretty
much
for
some
(that
usually
means
I
will
have
some
sooner
or
later
again)
because
of
their
short
lifespan
and
inherited
problematic
health
status.
Leonbergers
was
my
next
goal,
and 1985
I
bought
Rovalecos
Alarm
Alice,
I
never
used
her
as
a
breeding
dog
but
got
the
opportunity
to
buy
an
even
by
to
days
standards
extremely
good
female:
Troldegaards
Sara.
She
had
a
chest
that
doesn't
exist
in
the
overall
breed
globally
and
a
temper
that
could
be
the
icon
of
"Leonbergerishness",
bone
structure
very
good
and
unusually
heavy
for
a
female,
and
she
had
the
look
and
the
showman
ship.
Lucky
me
to
have
had
the
grace
to
live
with
a
dog
like
her!
My
good
luck
had
no
end
in
the
start:
I
suddenly
had
the
opportunity
to
take
over
a
pair
of
litter
mates:
Zara
von
Ratibour
und
Corvey
and
her
brother
Zarewitch
von
Ratibour
und
Corvey.
Those
two
has
shown
themselves
as
being
the
base
for
the
zeldalook
of
my
leonbergers
and
my
hope
is
to
preserve
and
cherish
those
traits
I
found
with
the
help
of
those
dogs.
I
am
a
line
breeder,
as
you
may
understand
by
now,
and
that
means
careful
mixing
and
re
mixing
the
genes
never
totally
leaving
the
best
lines
I
have,
and
thus
maintaining
the
good
contributions
to
the
Leonbergerbreed
as
a
whole
which
my
dogs
have
accomplished.
Do
you
think
I
am
boasting?
*lol*
Take
a
look
at
the
pictures
and
you
will
see
what
I
mean! |
