30th December 2009: X-mas trips
First trip was on Sunday with our friends and we went to Lyra in Jeseníky mountains. There were sooo many ridgebacks, one boerboel and yorksire terrier :o) We had really great time.
Next trip was yesterday with our close RR friends. We went again to Jeseníky where Hanka and Aerin has been spending holidays in Bedrichov. Very nice and calm place there with beautiful nature. Hanka prepared super lunch and we are looking forward to another visit ;)
Absolutely love this!!!
19th December 2009: Pre-Xmas walk

After lunch we went for walk with our friends. Because of freezy temperatures we finished it in the pub. Dogs received lot of presents including practical scarves from Hanka.

12th December 2009: Garp's first love

Nature surprised us again, but in a good way. We received message on Monday that Garp's first bride would have to come in following days.
It was big love. But I suspect todays's teenagers think primarily of sex and others happens then, maybe. Maisha didn't have time to explore anything, but she enjoyed it. And then was playing and kissing :o)
Garp's enjoyed his first love from Thursday to Saturday, everything was OK, couldn't be better. We cross fingers and hope we will bring wonderful news next month!!!
Super pics from this "meeting" by Monika you can see HIER!!!

10th October 2009: World Dog Show Bratislava
Garp had been already entered to this show since February, 'cause maybe never will be such a show nearer to us. And we were also part of the pack BS Helya Ridge, which had taken part in the competition of the Best Breeder's Group.
Garp was in the open class with other 29 ridgebacks, was marked excellent and got nice report from the judge Hans Müller, president of FCI.
BOB and res. CACIB were from this class.
The show was difficult and long, but
we had been entertined by Garp's 3 weird sisters, who had been cheering for us, making pics, buying tidbits and commemorative medal :o)

4.10. 2009: 1st Rhodesian Ridgeback Racing Mastership ARH Marchegg

Girls persuade me to go to this race. So I went. Garp had not any expiriences with racing circuit, straights are boring for him so I had known how it finished.
We finished last but one. Nevermind, it was great day with our friends and wonderful picnic. Girls went next day in return to my floorball match where we defeated our competitor 21:7!!! :o)))
Pics from this race by Monica you can see here. Garp is also star of this race thanks to Elisabeth Hammerschmidt. Look here!!!

10th August 2009: Ridgies in The High Tatras

This 3 days long trip was absolutely
splendid, wonderful relax, great weather, even we'd done something for our
condition and dogs had been changed into chamoises.
It was true to be the only man anong 3 girls was quite a risk, but I didn't think about it. I have to say all 3 cats were really very kind and cool :o) Special thanks to Hanka who was excellent
front passenger and navigator, who after short schooling had been turning off in the right time automatical autopilot.
Our base was in the village called Štrba, where we lived in the small house with little garden next to the bakery and nearby
meadows and hillsides, where our ridgies could run and jump. Evening we planed our first mountain trip.
Trip no. 1: We moved by cars to the start place - Štrbské pleso (1346 m), bought the map and Hania - girl from the mountain with pedagogic
talent was our guide :o)
After short swimming break of Aerin in the
mountain lake we were going to The Chata pod Soliskom (1840 m). Track was
fine, dogs could be free, nice views, all was perfect. We had break there,
had a lunch and went to next destination - Predné Solisko (2093 m).
