Anton Cizmar with his family (grandkids) and Sophie z Pozdisovskej doliny in the Club Thirts of S.T.D.C.O.A. Meeting by arrival at the parking lot.
It was a happy meeting with my friends and Ulka recognized her breeder.
Ulka arrived with us at May 15. in Frankfurt. She was happy, to go out of her crate after such a long flight.
Friday she met the little Jack Russel owned by my daughter (photo) and "Luky, the 10 year old male (Bohemia Genao-Jana Tomeskova) owned by my son Steve.
My dresam, to have puppies with, because it is a wonderful old bloodline and
Luky is healthy and with a great attitude.
Saturday at the afternoon a first big event for Ulka. Visiting Cologne with 100 000 of people everywhere. Visiting first time a restaurant.
Wine festival on the "Alter Markt" the entrance area to the old City of Cologne.
Ulka's first visit in a restaurant and she wants so much "Schweinshaxe with Sauerkraut".
At the evening at home she was playing with the little Jack Russell of my daughter, I bred 3 years ago. Than she started with a really bad Dia ... ,stopped eating and drinking... so that we visited a Hospital in Lohmar. The bloodtest was very good; the ultrasound was also ok.
She got a lot of medicine, shoots (antibiotica) and baby food out of these little glasses.
Sunday again to the hospital! The Doc agreed that we can travel with Ulka... and he has given to me more shoots of antibiotica, I have to set by myself.
So we started Monday to Iphofen (Franken) for 3 days. She was living now first time in a hotel room, visiting again the restaurants..., always at our site. Each one passing our table made a comment about the beauty of Ulka.
Wednesday our trip to Praha, where we have had booked a big appartment in the old town close to the castle of Praha.
On the highway to Praha I saw a sign "Rocycany" and old rememberings came up.
How often I visited Kennel Mytska samota or Kennel Farmy Zbiroh or...
So I asked Dennis, if we can leave the highway at the excit of Myto, to see an old friend again. It took a while, till we finally found Zbiroh. Ringing at the gate... and Jan Sklenar was looking out of a window.
He came to the gate, wondering who was there. Took a while..., to regocnize me and he called Alena Sklenarova, his wife.
It was such an enjoyment, when she recognized me!
and we have had a lot to talk about ...
Jan called his grandson (19) who is living with the grandparents. His English was really helpful for a lot of talks.
Family Sklenar with grandson ...
After driving for 2 hours in Praha, we finally found our appartment and started directly to explore the city.
Ulka was walking with us all the time! Several hours and she was a foto modell for hundreds of visitors of Praha. Videos also, mostly taken by people from Japan.
Hundreds of times we must explain, that she is not a Golden Retriever or.... and only 3 times people recognized: this is a Cuvac!
But 100 ' s of times we heared: pekny pes.... or krasny! (meaning: beautiful...)
in front of the Schwarzenberg Palais
on the top over Praha..
Ulka very helpful in watching the Palais...
one of our walks over the Charlesbridge..
20. of May Ulka started with her heat and a lot of males got crazy, following us.
At the last evening we tried to get a table in one of the nice restaurants at the Moldau..., but no chance. So finally we went downstairs at the Charlesbridge and found a table in a nice little restaurant.
Than people showed up with instruments, carrying out benches and table and started to sing and play. Mostly 10-14 people was playing ..., old Czech folklore but also some American songs. Than an old Lady (perhaps 80??) passed. Turned arround going back to the musicants, took her coat of and started to dance.
What a world!
Friday we started to go to Pribylina.
A 8 hour drive, after we lost the way ..., but in this way we could see a lot of the beautiful country of Czech and Slovakia.
Vlado Javorcik our US-judge has booked the same hotel and he told us, he will be there at the late afternoon.
Arriving at the old Castle Hradok, Vlado was waiting. We have had time to talk, till a phone call was coming for Vlado. Tibor Havelka with Bedrich Mesarosz in his car needed help. Their car was broken down in Luiptovske Mikulas.
here Vlado, looking up the map, where to find the judge Tibor Havelka.
Next morning early breakfast and to the showground
We met several old friends at the parking lot,
also Anton Cizmar,
Family Cezsari, Eva etc. Because I have forgotten to take Ulkas papers with me, Dennis must drive back to the hotel. Than I could enter as the last one the Vet control.
It was windy and cold and because of Ulka's heat we found a place sitting alone.
Two jackets was just enough.
We got the catalogue and our nummer for the show and than it started. Official opened by Jana. What an unbeleavable surrounding.All the white dogs, so many people.
The show was well organized and one group followed the next.
than it was Ulka's turn.
Here teeth controll. She lost a lot of weight and was in a bad shape. Not looking like we know her. And... she was so nacked. In the heat of Texas she has lost her fur and she was next to all this furry dogs something else..., but not looking like these Cuvac.
So she got her new name:Lady Catastrophy.
It was a great day. Thanks to all. "Jana, who organized in the well known perfect way, the judge Tibor and Vlado, who was organizing the ring and also to all the wonderful people we could met.
At Saturday evening Jana and her friend Jana came to thge Castle and we have had a wonderful dinner. Talking talking talking.
We left Hradok at Monday morning. A little calm time for us all. Ulka finally learned, to walk with us without a leash and started to eat again.
On the way back to Germany we stopped for 1 day in Passau and explored this historical city. Than back to Cologne. Ulka loved to drive and she always jumped into the car, taking over her seat.
We spend a lot of time with my kids, mostly at my sons house. Luky, my favorite father for the first pups never mated before. He was so interested in Ulka, but because it was to early for mating, they only played.
We descided, not to breed Ulka now. The pups would be born at a time, most hot in Texas. And pups must play, run ... but not with 100-120Fahrenheit.
So we will wait till November to breed her.
Thursday we arrived at 8at the airport. Lufthansa found our booking, also for Ulka, but..
They told us, the kennel is too small. (Lufthansa flew her from Houston to Frankfurt)
We know about the sibblings: Ute, UDA and Uska. But 3 of the sisters and brothers we didn't found yet.
Now I can tell also something about Uska.
Uska is living in the Kennel z Cibika www.zcibika.estranky.sk with Maxi Povodie Hrona.
Rudolf Gonda is one of the established old breeder. Successful in shwoing and handling his dog.
Here a photo from UDA and her owner Eva from Prague
Uda and Eva/ both are living in Pague Czech Republik;
Because of a lot of difficulties at his home, Anton descided, to sell "Ulka" to Elisabeth. So Ulka flew in to Texas in the age of 17 months (Nov.2008).
Ulka is now the first Slovensky Cuvac registered with AKC ...
a dog in history for the club and all Slovensky Cuvac.
Ulka is after first difficulties in USA now at home and happy with her "pack".
Her next heat is coming soon and we plan to have a litter with her.
(heat in June-August birth.)
But first she is going with us to Europe. She wants to see her breeder again, so we will visit Slovakia.
