A candle was lit on the 5th anniversary of Marvin's death (Caipirinha's LEE MARVIN).
November 22, 2021:
I'm angry, pissed off and sad: the last exhibitions of this season fell victim to the corona lockdown that will apply in Austria from today. Mamacita (Jamming's MAMACITA) and Hippie (Multi-Champ. From Shinbashi HIGHPROVOCATION) should have taken part in the show marathon in Montenegro in a few days. Shows entered, dogs partly prepared, accommodations booked, co-passenger organized, car partly packed, route planned, ...... For Hippie there was the chance of 7 further championship titles and for Mamacita of her first championship - she should make her first appearance in the intermediate class. And not only that: after 7 months I should meet my friend Claudia again and after two 2 years I should finally meet her daughter Sandy again. It’s really to drive out of the skin. Who knows when this opportunity will arise again. It should have been the highlight of the year at the end of the show season.
November 15, 2021:
What last lasts is finally good: after nearly four months of waiting and after three unanswered requests today the confirmation of the Slovenian Beauty Champion of Hippie (Multi-Champ von Shinbashi HIGHPROVOCATON) as well as a beautiful rosette was in the mailbox. Thanks to the intervention of the President of the Slovenian Cynologist Association, it did not even take a week. There had been an error in the assignment of my payment.
November 15, 2021:
It is a remembrance day ...... Today, a year ago, Ula (Multi-Champ. Family Song's ULA) was called on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge. The thoughts of her and looking at photos or videos still bring tears in my eyes. I even state myself that I call her name when I let the dogs to the garden. I made this picture today for her. The sweet mouse is unforgotten and will always stay. Luckily, there are still her son Maverick (Multi-Champ. Caipirinha's NEED 4SPEED) and her granddaughter Hippie (Multi-Champ von Shinbashi HIGHPROVOCATON) in the house, which put me up and bring joy to me each and every day.
November 9, 2021:
Now the Grand Champion Serbia for Hippie (Multi-Champ von Shinbashi HIGHPROVOCATON) is also confirmed. Today I received the corresponding documents.
October 29, 2021:
Today I received confirmed championships and corresponding certificates, namely the Serbian Junior Champion from Mamacita (Jamming's MAMACITA) and the Serbian Beauty Champion from Hippie (Multi-Champ. von Shinbashi HIGHPROVOCATION). Now the title Grand-Champion Serbia for Hippie can be applied for. The confirmations and certificates can be seen on the introductory pages of the two girls and on their page about the show successes.
October 23, 2021:
Today I was supposed to be at the international show in Komarom/HU with Mamacita (Jamming's MAMACITA) and Hippie (Multi-Champ. von Shinbashi HIGHPROVOCATION). I wanted to try to get the Hungarian Junior Champion with Mamacita and another (but not necessary) result for the Hungarian Grand Champion with Hippie. Unfortunately, sometimes things happen that you did not foresee or expect (a minor stroke of a family member and thus hospitalization one day before the planned departure on Friday). So the three of us could not go on the trip because no one was available for the dogs that stayed at home. Now the horse is out of the barn for Mamacita to achieve a second youth champion title. It's sad, I hadn't imagined the end of our show season like this.
October 20, 2021:
And one more day of remembrance:
It would be Steel's birthday (Champ. Silver Bluff STEEL KING LEGACY SOM). Another candle was lit.
October 18, 2021:
A successful show weekend lies behind Mamacita (Jamming's MAMACITA) and Hippie (Multi-Champ. von Shinbashi HIGHPROVOCATION). We were in Serbia and participated in the two international shows in Turija (October 16) and Backa Topola (October 17). Hippie received the CAC on both days and the Res. CACIB on the 2nd day. Mamacita was Junior Winner on both days and Best Junior (JBOB) on the 2nd day.
Hippie is therefore Serbian Beauty Champion and also fulfills the conditions for the Serbian Grand Champion, Mamacita is now Serbian Junior Champion.
Very nice show grounds, great organization, a very friendly organization team, ...... simply great. Shows that one would like to visit again. It rained on Saturday night, but by the time judging started, the sun came through and it was pleasantly warm. No more rain and therefore sunny and warm on the second day. And again I got to know nice people and meet friends. An exhibition weekend that I will remember for a long time.
Even if the accommodation was an absolute impertinence, we stayed until Monday morning in order to avoid long traffic jams at the borders in the evening after the show or to go well rested on the journey of almost 500 km. As I then found out from friends, that was a great decision, because they had been on the border from Serbia to Hungary for more than three hours. For me it was only half an hour on Monday, the other borders were totally free.
October 3, 2021:
Today would have been a special birthday: my shining star, my soul mate, my unique, my very special male Keanu (Multi-Champ. Whisperingln 'THE DEVILS ADVOCATE) would have turned 15. There is still not a day when I don't have tears in my eyes when I think of him. When I close my eyes I see him, when I open my eyes I miss him ......
September 23, 2021:
It's been 3 years today since Voodoo (Champ. Family Song's VOODOO), my first Chinese Crested, started the journey to cross the Rainbow Bridge. He's still missing, of course. A candle was lit for him.
September 19, 2021:
And again a show weekend with great success: On 18/19 September, two national shows took place in Zalaegerszeg/HU on a great show ground. On the first day Mamacita (Jamming's MAMACITA) left the ring with Junior Winner, Best Junior (JBOB), on the second day with Junior Winner. Hippie (Multi-Champ. von Shinbashi HIGHPROVOCATION) received CAC and BOB on both days. I can hardly describe how happy I am about the success of my two great girls.
Congratulations to the organizers for the great show ground in the Aquapark.
And our accommodation, which was available to us from September 17th to 19th, was very nice and cozy. We spent a relaxing time outside the show. Photos of the accommodation with a natural garden can be found in a Facebook photo album. Many thanks to Alex that we were gosted so well in his guest house.
September 11, 2021:
The Photo Gallery of Mamacita (Jamming's MAMACITA) has been updated.
September 6, 2021:
Today there was great mail in the mailbox, namely the FCI confirmation of the acquisition of the International Beauty Championship by Hippie (Multi-Champ. von Shinbashi HIGHPROVOCATION). The pretty diploma will come in the next few days.
August 23, 2021:
Another show weekend is behind us. On 21/22 August two national shows took place in Vasszecseny/HU, namely the Gellen Tibor Memorial. We came home yesterday evening with great results: Mamacita (Jamming's MAMACITA) received Junior Winner and BOS on the first day, and then a little bit more with Junior Winner, Best Junior (JBOB) and BOB on the second day. Hippie (Multi-Champ. von Shinbashi HIGHPROVOCATION) walked out of the ring with CAC on both days. With the first of the two CACs she fulfills the conditions for the Hungarian Beauty Championship and has thus acquired her 7th championship title. I am so proud of my two girls.
August 18, 2021:
A big day for the little ones here in the house: Mamacita (Jamming's MAMACITA) is celebrating her first birthday. She is spoiled even more than usually and enjoys it. All the best for my very special girl. Since she moved in, it's been even more fun and lively here.
July 25, 2021:
It was again a show weekend. This time I went to the Slovenian international exhibitions in Maribor and Pohorje with my friend Susi, Hippie (Multi-Champ. von Shinbashi HIGHPROVOCATION), Mamacita (Jamming's MAMACITA) and Maverick (Multi-Champ. Caipirinha's NEED 4SPEED) only being a companion. As always, we moved into our accommodation the day before the show to prepare everything in calmness. Incidentally, a very nice accommodation with a great restaurant included.
As in previous shows this year, the schedule published at least one day before the show is a great help in order not to spend too many hours on the show grounds in the summer temperatures. On Saturday we started shortly before 10 a.m., so after the time in the ring we were granted a lot of free time. Mamacita got Exc. 1, Junior Winner and Best Junior (Junior BOB).
Hippie got Exc. 1, CAC, CACIB and BOS. With the class win, Hippie fulfills the conditions for the Slovenian Beauty Champion. She is now a sevenfold champion. We left the show grounds at 11 a.m. with great joy and pride. I didn't want to expect young Mamacita to wait until the ring of honor in the intense heat and humidity. It was now time to freak out in the hotel, eat and go for walks.
Sunday went well, even though Mamacita did not manage to gain the Slovenian Youth Champion title, as this time she left the ring with Exc. 2. Hippie repeated her result from the previous day, so again Exc. 1, CAC, CACIB and BOS. It was our turn from 11 a.m. and we could leave the show and Slovenia at 12 noon.
While I was at both shows with my two girls, Susi went for a walk with Maverick and then they both enjoyed the coolness in a pub where Maverick was pampered by Susi. We then met at the car on both days. I think Maverick really enjoyed taking time out from shows. So we have another successful and wonderful weekend behind us. Let's see how it goes on or whether this year is over again because there is another lockdown. Let us be surprised.
July 11, 2021:
The next shows are behind us Hippie (Multi-Champ. von Shinbashi HIGHPROVOCATION), Mamacita (Jamming's MAMACITA) and me: We were at the two international shows in Varazdin/HR. I am satisfied with the results, even if they could have been better. With the temperatures that prevailed, I am grateful to my two girls for doing so well. On the first day Mamacita got very good and Hippie left the ring with Exc. 1 without a title. The second day - although it was even hotter - Mamacita got Exc. 2 and Hippie Exc. 1, CAC and CACIB.
We lived in a small holiday home a bit away from Varazdin and were able to spend wonderful hours there before and after the shows: great views from the mountain, peace and quiet, lots of shade and a nice area to go for walks. The hosts were very warm people who used to be dog owners themselves and didn't charge any extra fees for my dogs. On arrival there was a tour through the house with an explanation of all devices and then a soft drink on the shady terrace. I urgently needed this relaxation after waiting at the border from Hungary to Croatia for more than an hour. Should I come to this area again, I absolutely have to check if this accommodation is available.
Here are a few pictures of the accommodation and view. A click on the corresponding thumbnail opens the picture in large format.

It's been three years since little, sweet Steel (Champ. Silverbluff STEEL KING LEGACY, SOM) crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Unforgettable and forever in a special place in my heart. A candle has been lit for him, of course.
He was a very special male: when he was almost five years old, he came to me after he had already been with four owners where he had been kept in a kennel or dog room. Already at the airport when we took off from the USA, the inaccessible male took confidence in me and enjoyed sitting on my lap. I will never forget how happy he was to see his friend Sterling (Champ. Daretobebares STERLING SILVER) arrive almost a year after he moved in and how he greeted her. She had lived in the same household as him.
I was able to enjoy his trust as well as his unconditional love and gratitude in all the years up to his sudden death. I am infinitely grateful that I was able to accompany this cute male for almost 9 years.
July 4, 2021:
After many years I have shown in Slovenia again and have returned with great results.
Together with my friend Claudia and two of her dogs, I took part in the shows in Rogla with Hippie (Multi-Champ. von Shinbashi HIGHPROVOCATION) - a national show on July 2nd, and two international shows on July 3rd and 4th. Mamacita (Jamming's MAMACITA) accompanied us to get her used to the atmosphere of large shows.
Hippie finished the national show with Exc. 1, CAC and BOS. The next day at the international show she achieved a result that I hadn't expected: Exc. 1, CAC, CACIB and BOS. With this CACIB, Hippie fulfills the conditions for the International Beauty Champion. The second international show didn't go so well, but after the two successful days it was ticked again: Exc. 1 without a title. Unfortunately we didn't manage to finish the Slovenian Beauty Championship this time. So soon we will go back to Slovenia to make another attempt.
Claudia, the dogs and I spent our free time in the accommodation a few kilometers from the show grounds with walks and great food in the restaurant that is attached to the accommodation. It was great to spend time with Claudia again after we last saw each other at the show in Zagreb/HR at the end of November 2019.
June 27, 2021:
My youngest girl had her very first show today, because she was only at home due to the lockdowns and was "trained" there as good as possible. Mamacita (Jamming's MAMACITA) entered the "scene" with dignity: national show in Mosonmagyarovar/HU Exc. 1, Junior Winner, Best Junior (Junior BOB) and to top it off, the BOB against a champion bitch. The breeders Lella and Samu as well as I are very proud of the little mouse.
June 7, 2021:
Today the oldest dog in the house is celebrating birthday: Sterling (Champ. Daretobebares STERLING SILVER) is 15 years. Congratulations to the little girl who is healthy as well as still very lively and funny. If you see her jumping around, you wouldn't believe she's that age. It shall stay that way for a long time so that we can continue to have a good time together.
May 26, 2021:
The very best birthday wishes to my special darling Maverick (Multi-Champ. Caipirinha's NEED 4SPEED). He is 10 years old today. Congratulations also go to his siblings Tanner (Champ. Caipirinha's NUTBUSH CITY LIMIT), Toulouse (Caipirinha's NOTHING 2LOSE) and Needy (Caipirinha's NEEDLESS 2SAY).
May all four stay healthy and be with us owners for many years to come.
May 22, 2021
Today was once again a bathing day for Mamacita (Jamming's MAMACITA). 4 days ago she turned 9 months young and thus youth. Reason enough to set up a new photo album (Youth) for them and upload two pictures that I took after the bath.
May 21, 2021:
It would be Voodoo's (Champ. Family Song's VOODOO) birthday. He was the first Chinese Crested by my side, and we had at least 13 unforgettable years together before he left forever. All the best my sweet, unforgettable boy.
May 18, 2021:
3 years ago, Porsche (Caipirinha's PINK HOT PORSCHE) was torn out of my life completely unexpectedly ..... only 4 years and 3 days young. He's still missing like on the first day. I lit a candle for him too. The memories of him are beautiful and he lives on in my heart.
May 15, 2021:
Today is the 7th birthday of the Caipirinha's P litter. Congratulations to Prada (PRADA PINK EDITION) and Pagani (PAGANI TOO HOT TO HANDLE). Unfortunately, one of the three has already crossed the Rainbow Bridge. My thoughts are with Porsche (PINK HOT PORSCHE). All the best to him, too, and the lighted candle should show him that he has not been forgotten.
May 8, 2021:
After a few cold, rainy and stormy days it was sunny and warm again today. Another opportunity for new photos of Mamacita (Jamming's MAMACITA). The new pictures are in her Photo Gallery, and a short video can also be found via the link from today under the photo gallery.
May 2, 2021:
One day celebrating, the next day is a day of remembrance, a very difficult one, because even after three years it is still very hard. Keanu (Multi-Champ. Whisperingln 'THE DEVILS ADVOCATE) was torn from my side much too early. I miss his snuggling up my neck and head for giving good night kisses, his warm breath on my neck when he decided kissing time is over, feeling his warm body when falling asleep, the happily tolling around in the morning when he noticed that I have eyes open. ...... He was so very special and unique, I'm so grateful for the time we had, but it shouldn't be that it was more. A candle was lit.
When I close my eyes, I see him ...... when I open my eyes, I miss him .....
May 1, 2021:
All the best for the fourth birthday of my great girl Hippie (Multi-Champ. From Shinbashi HIGH PROVOCATION). May I be accompanied by her for many years to come and may we still achieve great show results together when the time of restrictions and lockdowns is over.
I love you so much little lady.
April 3, 2021:
Even if we have to spend Easter in lockdown and cannot have family celebrations, I wish everyone a pleasant Easter.
April 2, 2021:
During the last months I have been practicing with Photoshop diligently and putting my "works" in the corresponding album.
March 31, 2021:
Since there are no exhibitions due to the corona lockdown, I take the training with Mamacita (Jamming's MAMACITA) calmly. Today my friend and neighbor Alex was nice enough to do some leash training videos. Two of them are now in her Photo Gallery (the links are under the album). The little turbo mouse doesn't take it too seriously, but when she runs properly for a short time and then stands free for a moment, she does really well.
At this point I would like to thank Lella and Samu again very much for this great bitch.
March 30, 2021:
Finally spring, great weather with bright sunshine. Off to the garden with the dogs to take a few snapshots of Mamacita (Jamming's MAMACITA). Of course, the photos went straight to her Photo Gallery.
March 21, 2021:
Today Memy's (Multi-Champ. INCREDIBLE ME von Shinbashi) 10th birthday is celebrated.
She is one of my very successful show girls, still a bundle of energy, always funny and full of joy, just a very sweet one who I love dearly.
February 11, 2021:
It is the birthday of Ula (Multi-Champ. Family Song's ULA). So hard to believe that she is gone since 3 months, I'm still far from dealing with her death. A candle has been lit for her.
February 12, 2021:
Today we celebrate Secret's 9th birthday. All the best and many more years with this sweet girl.
February 9, 2021:
There are a few new photos of Mamacita (Jamming's MAMACITA) from the last few months in her Photo Gallery.
February 8, 2021:
The O litter celebrates its 9th birthday today. Congratulations to the seven children from Keanu (Multi-Champ. WL THE DEVILS ADVOCATE) and Sterling (Champ. Daretobebares STERLING SILVER).
January 24, 2021:
Jaris (HAPPY JARIS Dandy Mate) celebrates her 13th birthday today. Congratulations to the sweet mother of my M litter.
January 10, 2021:
My L litter is now 12 years and the M litter 11 years. All the best to the six children from Ula (Multi-Champ. Family Song's ULA) and from Jaris (HAPPY JARIS Dandy Mate).
