We heard very sad news today. Lovely Yeke Yeke Amali – Chambela lost her young life in tragic car accident. We are still very shocked and sad. Chambela had great life with her family; she had so much love and attention. Although we had to say good bye to this wonderful Ridgeback lady, she will never be far away from our thoughts and she’ll always be present in our hearts.

August 2007.
We spent great holiday with our dogs. We went to the peninsula Pelješac and used the opportunity to visit Awena (female from our A-litter who lives on Korčula) and Luna (Yeke Yeke Bimkubwa, from B-litter who lives close to Dubrovnik). Also, one day we met with Yeke Yeke Bambaataa and his human family on the island Mljet where they were on vacation. Some nice pictures can be found here(in progress)….

July 2007.
During my trip to Milano, Italy, I used the opportunity to visit Yeke Yeke Abeke. She grew up into lovely and kind RR lady. She spends a lot of time with her RR friend Shangani Bayete Shaka (Pictures are made by mobile phone).

June 2007.

Overview of January – June 2007. – a short update on what was happening with us…
All puppies from our B-litter settled nicely in their new homes. We are in contact with all families and puppies are developing very nicely. You can follow their growth and development through individual page of each puppy(some pages are still under construction). Nelson and Ella can really be proud with their children.

From the beginning there was one little girl with orange necklace that caught our hearts and decided to stay with us. Her name is Yeke Yeke Bura.

Free time
With our dogs we are spending a lot of time outside in long walks with friends. We paid a visit to some puppies from the last litter and spent great time with them. It is so nice to see them so happy!
pictures soon…(in progress)

Education
In January Bura and Hrvoje started with the puppy schooll in our dear Club (www.kossp.hr) They finished first level with 8,25 points (out of 10 points – she eat salami-that’s minus1, but other things like walking, sitting, laying down, waiting, contact with strange people and socialization with other dogs were almost perfect).

Shows
Some puppies from B-litter started with their show carrier. For many of them (both puppies and owners) those were the first steps in the show ring and after beating the stress and stage fright they presented themselves very nicely. Congratulations to you all!

Agility
Kiya and Mirna are still agility fans. They are practicing twice a week and started with agility competitions. So far without some great results, but good will and training will pay their effort eventually. The most important is that we are having fun!
