Nessa is going to be mommy:-)))

My dear friends!
It's been a while since my last post - again:-) A lot of things has happened and my mommy posted it on my web site, so you're very welcome to read it - some of articles are in english now:-)The most important thing is as it follows:

I'm very happy to inform you that I'm expecting my first puppies:-))))

My husband is beautiful black and ten hovawart Berlingo Milas Moravia. He is a great family dog, very gentile and calm, so I'm very happy to met him. It was love at first sight and he was such gentelman. Luckily he lives in Ljubljana so he is only few km away:-)

Puppies are expected on 12. June. Cross your fingers and wish me luck:-) And visit now and then my web site http://hovawart-vombarogianland.si to find out what's new:-) Oh, yes: I'm on FB too as Kennel vom Barogian Land and my mommy as Bojana Razpotnik. Join me :-))
Many hugs and big kiss from mommy to be,
yours Nessa

Say: aaaaaaaa...

.....and take a look of those beautiful babys of Jekyll and Halka Barte Prim. I'm a little bit jealous though, but they are soooooo cute:-) And they are in all 3 colours as I told you in post before. In that litter was: 6 blond girls,1 black and ten girl, 1 black girl, 2 blond boys and 2 black boys.

Blond, black and ten and black fight:-)

Why must we sit here?All 3 colors :-)Well, enjoy in those pictures untill it's my turn:-) Hopefully;-)
Kisses, Nessa

Me, Jekyll and puppies :-)

Dear friends,

thank you very much for congrats and for nice words about my husband to be:-) But as I can see, there is some confusion about that:-) Blond hovi looks a lot like golden retriver and a lot of people are mixing them. So I better explain a little bit about me and Jekyll and stuff :-)

As some of you might know by now, hovawart can be in 3 colours: black and ten as I, blond as Jekyll or black as my grandpa Jumbo.

My handsome Jekyll :-)

My grandfather Jambo from Germany

My grandmother Conquita from Austria and grandfather Jumbo....
...muuuahhh, big kiss to them:-)

The normal percent in one country is: 75% black and ten, 15% blond and only about 10% black hovis. Mixing all colors is alowed. It depends a lot of what your background is. The most frequent combination is black and ten - black and ten. Also is very popular black and ten and blond combination. Very rare nowadays is blond-blond combination becouse colour of those puppies can be darker and of course all puppies from that combination are blond. That's the reason some countries are not alowing that combination.

In some special litters there can be all 3 colours, but that is veeeery rare. In Slovenia there was no 3 colour litter untill now! But let me tell you: my Jekyll is from such litter though :-) And he is already a father of 3 colours litter, so maybe I will have such luck too:-)))
But it's veeeeery toooooo soon to talk about that. At first we must marry:-). But cross your paws for me and him, please:-)
Your bride to be Nessa :-)

Great weekend on show in Amstetten, Austria

Last weekend me, my mommy and daddy went to Amstetten, Austria on 2 days event. On Saturday there was a tournament in obidience and on Sunday there was the biggest Hovawart show in Austria. This year 127 (!) hovawarts came to this event. Most of them were of course from Austria, but some of them came from Germany, Slovakia, Italia, Czech republic, Poland and Slovenia.

We went on a road on Friday with the motorhome along with my brother Nash and my best friend Alessa. We came to Amstetten late in the evening and soon we went to sleep, becouse all 3 of us attended the tournament next day. So here is how it went:

Part one on a leash

Walking forward and showing left and right turn
Circling in a group of people without smelling them..sigh!

Going out from group of people
Starting the part two without a leash
Doing again the whole procedure but without a leash
Laying down on command and wait
Recall from the laying

And a result: 91 points from 100 and 2nd place. My mommy was very proud of me, especially because we didn't go to school for quite a long time. I've done my BBH exam more than a year ago and I had only 4 trainings before tournament, so I guess I can be proud of myself too :-).

But guess what: Alessa was even better than me. She won the tournament with 95 points. I'm very happy for her. Nash was very funny though. Instead walking with leader at the end he rather went to Regina (who was Leader of Tournament and translater to English) and jump on her. Yipieee! He had some fun, clever boy!

It was double Slovenian succes

Next day, on Sunday, was Club winner show 2009. There was very strong competition in my "Open class" - 21 beaches and I was almost the youngest with 28 months. But I was not nervous at all and a strict Judge, Mrs.Eveline Hohmann, who is also German breeding referent for Hovawart, was very happy with me and she judged me with an excellent rating. Hurray!!

Showing my teeth to Mrs.Evelin Hohmann

A diploma for me :-)

But something else was veeeeery important!!! I've met my future husband there in live! It was already everything arranged for our wedding, but this time I've seen him in live. Woooow, what a boy. His name is Jekyll Royal Safe, he came from Slovakia and he is an International Champion!! He also won in "Working Class" in Amstetten too!! I was instantly inloooooove!! And I think he was too. Cross your finger for May next year when our mariage will take place in Slovakia!

Are we great together or what?

Well, that's all and it's not so small :-) I hope you enjoyed reading,

Kisses and hugs, your pal Nessa

P.s. All pictures were taking again by Tea Pavišič. Tea, big thank you to you!

Nessa has breeding licence I.

S ponosom objavljamo krasno novico: Nessa je 5.9.2009 opravila vzrejni pregled pri g.Janezu Plestenjaku in telesno oceno pri sodnici Dušici Bučer, ki sta ji prisodila odlično oceno in 1.vzrejni razred. Nessa ima tako vse pripravljeno za paritev, ki jo bomo predvidoma opravili prihodno pomlad, ko bo stara 3 leta in popolnoma odrasla in dozorela za tako pomembno nalogo. S kom? To pa naj ostane še sladka skrivnost....:-)

Hello everyone, Nessa's mommy here. Since Nessa doesn't like to brag herself I would like to tell you something. After a while we are coming back with great news: Nessa has done her breeding exam, got an excellent grade and breeding rang 1.

For breeding licence in Slovenia hovawart must have:
- at least one excellent evaluation of slovenian judge
- exam B-BH
- hipps evaluation
Nessa has all that: 3 excellent evaluations from Slovenian judges, she has done B-BH exam last year and has done her rtg/hips exam in Tierklinik Kreuzbergl in Klagenfurt, Austria. Her hips are A1/A1 with no sign of displasia. Since she had all prepared we decided to go to breeding exam. That's how it goes:
At first there is running, where judge can see and evaluate dog's moveing...
Then comes measuring dog's height, lenght and chest...
After that judge exam doggie from head to tail:-) He exames dogs teeth, eyes, lips, ears, strenght of it's back, legs, lenght and wearing of tail, quality of coat, colour, pigmentation...and beside that dogs character....well, everything:-) Nessa was despite long and stressfull exam acting very friendly untill the end of it:-)At the end comes general evaluation. Nessa was very good girl and we are very proud of her.
Then next good news is that her brothers Nash and Nelo got breeding class 1., too. We are very proud of the fact, that from litter of 8 doggies, 4 of them are good show dogs (others owners are not thrilled about the shows) and 3 of them are now available for breeding with excellent evaluation. Look how pretty they are:
Naslednja čudovita novica je, da sta Nessina brata Nash in Nelo na isti dan pri g.Plestenjaku opravila vzrejni pregled in si ravno tako prislužila vzrejni razred 1. Prav ponosni smo, da so - od 8 kužkov v leglu Srečka in Mire Novak - 4 dobri razstavni psi (ostali lastniki niso navdušeni nad razstavljanjem), 3 od njih pa imajo sedaj tudi vzrejno dovoljenje. Tole so naši krasni kužki:

Beside us there was also Nessa's, Nash and Nelo's half brother Lar Časova. He is too young for breeding licence but he had also excellent body evaluation. He will be great male when he will be fully grown up.
Poleg nas je bil prisoten na oceni zunanjosti tudi naš polbratec Lar Časova, ki je sicer še premlad za vzrejno dovoljenje. Dobil pa je odlično telesno oceno s strani sodnice Dušice Bučer in se prav gotovo razvija v čudovitega samca.

Kisses and hugs,
Nessa and mommy

Not so great weekend :-(

My puppy sad look :-(

Ough, well, my dear friends, thank you for all your good wishes, but this time it just didn't work out. I'm so sad, mostly becouse I dissapointed my dear mommy. Although she doesn't behave like that, she snuggles me, hugs me and gives me treats, but I feel in my hart, that she's sad. But guys, I CAN'T HELP IT. What happend?

Well, I told you that test is very demanding. First they measured me from top to bottom as they say, then I runed like on the shows, then came the hard part. First I should play with my mommy, then with other person in this case a marker, guy fully equiped and dressed for dog attack. Do you remember when I told you that I'm going to school and that I don't like that part of training-bitting/grabbing the sleeve of that guy? Exactly that happend on that test. I didn't want to play with him and run after him and bite. At that time the judge finished the test and I failed, of course. I didn't even get to next part of test. My mommy is stil in shock, she couldn't belive it. I'm so sorry mommy, I'll do better next time, I promise...Since I don't have pictures yet, you can get the picture of all demanding tests in JB on Alessas web...she passed that test last year, since she's a year older, but on Saturday she passed the final Austrian test for breeding, called ZTP...congratulation, my dear sweat Alessa!!!!

Next day we went on dogshow Graz, Austria. I had a very strong competitions-females much older than I am but I was doing OK. The cherry on the top of the cake was for sure my dearest brother NASH. First he passed the JB test on Saturday, than on the next day on dogshow he won the very keen competition..he beat 40 hovawarts and won CAC, CACIB and BOB. He shined in all his beauty and was easily the star of the exhibit. In the minute he started receiving huge bids for mating. And all that in Austria, homeland of hovawarts!!!Way to go, Nash, I'm very, very proud of you!

My competition

Mommys little sweathart

And the winner is....
Nash CAC, CACIB, BOB

Hi everyone,

I'm so sorry that I don't have enough time to comment your posts, but I'm really bussy lately with all that school and shows...I hope you don't resent me.

Well, after long walk in sunny forrest and meadow and relaxing sleep on my mommys and daddys bed:-)....

....I started to think about this weekend...tomorrow, on Saturday, I'm in Leibnitz, Austria, doing my second test for breeding licence. It's quite a demanding test..I'll tell you about it on Monday.

On Sunday I'll be in Graz, Austia on dogshow...both days me, my mommy and daddy will get up very early 'couse we have to be there about 9 in the morning...I hope I'll do OK .

Will I do OK, mommy?

Of course you will sweety, you are mine smartest and courageous girl. It's no big deal for you.Have you all a relaxing and sunny weekend,

your furriend Nessa

Hura, moji kolki so 1A! / Hurray, my hipps are A1 !

Novembra sem dopolnila 18 mesecev, zato je nastopil čas za slikanje mojih kolkov. Menda je to potrebno, če hočem imeti kdaj mladičke;-). V Avstrijo pa smo šli zato, ker se trudim delati potrebne preizkuse ( enega - NZB sem že naredila) za avstrijsko vzrejno dovoljenje. Moje poreklo je pač nemško in se spodobi, da zadostim njihovim kriterijem...tam je pač vse bolj strogo :0)
Alesskina Tanja in njen Smiljan (hvala!), sta se dogovorila za slikanje na Tierklinik Kreuzbergl v Celovcu pri dr.Evelin Pekarek. Pa smo šli spet na pot ;-). Po dobri urici smo prispeli. No, ne brez Tanjine pomoči, ker je (spet) crknil garmin. Tale tehnika! Mojadva sta kar norela. Sredi Celovca, zadeva pa ni delala hihihi....Na kliniki so bili strašno prijazni. Vsi so me božali in mi dajali komplimente. To se mi je fajn zdelo, pa mojima tudi, seveda. Samo nič mi ni bilo jasno. Saj nisem bolana, kaj pa delam tukaj? Dr.Evelin me je vso pregledala, poslušala srce in pregledala oči...ooooh, naenkrat sem bila tako utrujena. Hudo se mi je spalo in to sredi belega dne. Lahko noč!

Ko sem se zbudila, so bili vsi nekam srečni, smehljali so se in me trepljali. Kaj se je pa zgodilo vmes, kaj sem zamudila? Bojančka mi pravi :"Nesska, zdaj boš pa lahko letala po mili volji!". No, fajn. Končno ne bom samo poslušala :" Ne skači toliko, ne dirkaj po hribu, bodi pri miru...." Če je obisk tehle prijaznih ljudi razlog za to, potem bom pa še kdaj prišla ;-).

Slike je bilo potrebno poslati še na Univerzitetno veterinarsko kliniko na Dunaj. In tako sta danes mojedva dobila izvide, jaz pa veliiiiko sočno kost. Super,ne?

In november, when I was over 18 months, the time has come for hip X-ray. I understand this is necessary, if I'll ever have puppies ;-). We went in Austria because I'm trying to do the necessary tests (one - NZB I have already done) for the Austrian breeding license. My origin is a German and it would be nice if I would satisfy their severe criteria ... :0) Well, so we went in Klagenfurt on Tierklinik Kreuzbergl to dr.Evelin Pekarek. How wonderful wellcoming! All were so friendly that I was not afraid of anything. Dr.Evelin did all the review, listen to the heart and revised the eyes, then I suddenly blacked out. When I woke up, everyone have been very happy becouse they already knew that I am healthy. Picture of X-ray was necessary to send further to the veterinary clinic at the University of Vienna. Today my mom and dad got results and I got a big juicy bone. Yummi!
