Today was the Junior and Veteran day of our Rhodesian Ridgback Club (RRCN).
The wheater was really great and we had a wonderful day.
The first to enter the ring was our granny Dolce!!
She didn’t go to a dogshow for years, and with her almost 12 years she was by far the oldest today.
I entered her for fun, and to show how great an oldy also is.
And fun we had!
Dolce received a really nice judgereport and a bag full of treats!
Later that the day, it was time for our dragons to be judged.
I am so thankfull for the owners who took the time to come to this day, and really proud how great they did!
All puppy’s received a reallty nice reports, and the words from judge/breedspecialist M. Trésoor, made me very proud. She said I did a great job with this litter! 🙂

Today we had a meeting with some of our Dragon puppy’s (Frits, Nano, Koba, Nero and James), to practise for the Junior and Veteran day of our Rhodesian Ridgeback Club.
Koba, James and Nero are not used to dogshow, but they really did great today.
I am looking very forward to the Junior and Veteran day in 3 weeks!
And when we came home, the mailman deliverd something for Frits.
I am really really proud of my baby boy!

Today was our second visit at the Veterinary Blood Bank. This time it was Zoë and Ani’s turn.
Frits will go back in May for a donation (the dogs can donate every 3 months).
For Zoë it was the second time. The first time we only did a practise with her, but today she did her very first donation. So now she also is a offical blooddonor for the First Veterinary Blood bank in the Netherlands.
With Ani we only did a practise today. She was quite ok, but we like the dogs to stay happy with every visit and that is why we don’t put to much pressure on it.
Ani will go back in april for her first donation!
I am so proud my dogs can be a blooddonor, and with this help saving the lives of other dogs.
In the evening I drove to Eersel for a very interesting lecture about fertility of the dog (both male and female).

Some call it crazy, but I just call it a great hobby 🙂
Last weekend I drove with Zoë, Frits and Nano all the way to Offenburg (Germany) for a dogshow.
Unfortunately Zoë and Nano where not the type, the judge was looking for and both where awarded with a Very Good.
But they did receive nice judgereports.
But Frits, just took it all!!!

It is so great that brother and sister both won their very first title, and that they are both qualified for the greatest show in the world, that is held in England every year “CRUFTS”.
Last week it was still a dream that one day we would be qualified to enter the Crufts dogshow and now we are making plans for next year. Because, of course we are going to Crufts next year.
For sure with Frits and Nano, but hopefully also with Zoë.

Our life is like a rollercoaster at the moment.
Last Tuesday we, totally unexpected got the message, that Nero, a puppy from our last litter has to be re-homed.
Wednesday evening we picked him up and now he is back “home”with us.
Now we give him time to settle and show us his true character, so we can find the perfect place for him.
In the short time that Nero is with us now, he is doing really good.
The rest of the pack accepted him already and he seems to settle good in our routine.
We will keep you updated about his progress and we will also write it here, when we think the time is right to find him a beautiful home.
NOTE: The black thing at his collar is a GPS TRACKER

Because of Koba his ilness I did some research abour bloodtransfusion and blooddonation.
And I learned the need blooddonor in dogs very much.
Because of that I registerd Ani, Zoë and Frits as a blooddonor at the Eerste Veterinaire Bloedbank (firts veterinary blood bank).
Zoë and Frits had their first appointment today.
What a special expierence this was. They made one big party for the dogs.
The dog mus be happy to be there, and I like that way of thinking.
Frits is a bit more relaxter in this kind of situations then Zoë is.
On the table, Frist was very relaxed and because of that he directly did his first donation.
Zoë was a bit more nervous, so today we only practised with lying on the table and getting many many cookies.
Next month I will go agian with Zoë together with Ani her first appointment.
Frits got an appointment in 3 months again, for his next donation.
For all the photos and movies: Frits and Zoë at the blood bank

Koba!
Finally, afte all the dissapointments, bloodtransfusion, medications and tears, we finally got good news today.
After the last bloodtransfusion the percent red bloodcells in his blood is rising and the tests also show the bone marrow is making a lot of new red bloodcells.
(He still got anemia, but it can not be totally good in once ofcourse).
This means that Koba finally start to react on the medication.
He is not there yes, but we are on a good way now.
Koba’s and his wonderful owners deserve this!
