Thanks, Herman! That one we really do agree! Elanor is gonna be mated with Faxa's sire in the beginning of 2007, and I am gonna keep a male from that combination! Faxa and his 3 halfsiblings from 3 different dames got CAC in specialty, and their temperaments are marvellous, so I really do expect a lot of that litter!

Well, I do know the epidogs in there, and they just can not be avoided. Other options would have been even more risky on my opinion, and not that nice characters, what was seen in specialty. That was also noticed by Willemine van Deijl, who said that we really have to be careful what we do with temperaments. But after that I can combine to G or I-litters and F/G can be put in H, so I don't have to go back there in ages, if ever. Actually I am chasing now Emir and Avril in those, because especially Emir I knew and he was marvellous dog, died at age 16! I remember also Avril to live a very long life! Next I have to think how to get a bit out of Tyrame-Ulcia (Cyann-Goya) eventhough in Finland there has been only few epileptics in there. I was most pleased that Hy Borinya's evaluations last row was: "Excellent temperament!" and that is the same I hope to get again, because Emir really was superb temperament dog and even combined to weaker females produced working champions over and over and over again! That original flame we have almost lost when breeding only pretty stingnoses...

For the same reason (character and getting old healty) I still pefer the Millo lines, my Ginno 12 years now, Qwinten the father of my B-litter 14 years already and many more sons and daughters out of Millo are staying a live very long and I have seen so many good characters out of this lines.
But for the next litter I almost now know for sure that I will use Darki van Bouwelhei as stud for my grey/sable bitch (Azigo & Bijou Queeny).
Nice pictures. It is such a pity that Finland is so far. Maybe in 2008 when I go to Sweden again.
