Riita Sisko Wirkalla
A story about "Arpad od Frystake prehrady" and his last son "RAMBO"!
Riita was active for a long time in Finland with Slovensky Cuvac, not only with the Finish Club, but also breeding and showing Slovensky Cuvac.
How Did I met her?
In the early 80's I wrote a letter to her introducing myself. Since then we have had frequent contact.
An emotionsal conection was "Arpad od Frystake prehrady", a male I loved so much. Arpad was the first Slovensky Cuvac I saw after getting my "Dingo z Polhino dvora".
At the age of 8 years, Arpad's owner in Praha wanted to get quit of him.
I asked:"Why". The owner answered:"I think you know!" The owner thought Arpad was beyond breeding age and was going to destroy him.
So I tried everything to get Arpad out of Czechoslovakia to save his live. With Riita I found a person who saw the chance to get a male to Finland. After a discussion with her husband she wanted to take this "old boy"!
Then it became important to get Arpad as soon as possible. Sigrid, a girlfriend in Germany and also an SC owner of Cucco vom Boehmerwald was easy to convince to assist. Three days after we got the message about Arpad, we drove, better flew (six hours) to Praha to rescue him.
We had a quick cup of soup and put Arpad with a muzzle into the car and drove back to Germany. It was the first time Arpad had been in a car, so we gave him a tranquillizer.
We arrived in Overath Germany the next morning at 8.340 after driving all night. First we took Arpad for a long walk, still muzzeled as he might have been dangerous. He wasn'[t in any way. We took the muzzleoffafter a few minutes because he wasd so friendly. We fed him and got back into the car, to deliver Arpad to the ferry from Travemuende, Germany to Helsinki, across the Baltic Sea.
Riita and her husband made their way from Helsinki to Travemuende to receive Arpad. But at Travemuende we couldn' t find each other. At the last minute before the ferry departed they saw us with a big white dog. After seeing Arpad and his new family off, Sigrid and I got home to Overath at Midnight. We were very tired having driven 3000km (1800miles) in two days to save a dogs life. With the ferry to Finland, Arpad travelled 4400km ( 2400miles)
Riita visited a vet for over 6 months to take care of Arpad's ears. And Arpad lived another four happy yearsin the house ( and livingroom) of the Wirkalla's, after having lived 8 years in a backyardkennel of his original owner. What a changed life for this old Teddybear.
Each letter we received from Riita, she was proud to tell us about her wonderful old boy; The best SC ever in the world.
Duskan Cassius Arpad's son out of the first litter in Finland
She took him everywhere - without a leash - and he also socialized with all dogs around with no problems. And, he was wonderful to all kids.
One year later, when Arpad was nine, Riita started to show him. It was my dream, that Arpad would earn the Inter Champ title.In 1989 he finally got the title, thanks the engament of Riiita.
Arpad was father of many excellent puppies in Czech and Slowakia. He had wonderful white fur, best pigment and healthy hips.
Riita herself raised 2 litters out of Asta mated by Arpad.
In August 1990, Arpad was playing with his puppy, he layed down in the hallway and never awakened.
Arpad's last son called Rambo born January 7 1989 died June 18 2003 after 14.5 years.
He was living at the kennel Kalliovaaran /Raija Aarniokoivu-Finland.
He won the title " World Champion" 3 times, also 3 times European Champion and
he got Champion in 9 different counbtries.
About breeding with him we will write later!!!
photos of Rambo!!
Arpad lived twelf years. As a "retired" dog he found Heaven on Earth.
The importance of Arpad in the breed has never been honored. But it should be mentioned now. And also his Inter titles.
Arpad was a male, who gave best features to his sons and daughters.
We will talk later about Arpad' s sister Asta (cz)
