Today is THE day for which many nice people have waited impatiently: I have been at the ultrasounds with Fuzzy!!!!!

The little affair of Fuzzy and Dako bears fruit!

Then we had Vera here for a visit! She wanted to celebrate Buzzele's birthday and Stoepsel's breeding conformation together with her friend and us! It was beautiful days and so nice to have Vera here again!

4 wonderful Stars, for whicht I am so very grateful, are celebrating their first birthday today!

We send our congratulation from the deepness of our hearts to Imhotep, Independence, Indiana Jones and especially to our Imagine (lovling often called Buzzele)!

Very special greetings of course also from Mom Fuzzy.

From her brother Independence our Imagine "Buzzele" got a beautiful home-made birthday cake! I was really speachless of happiness! Lots of thanks to Baerbel, Thomas, Nina, Jochen and Marc for the great surprise! Buzzele will be in for this surprise ...........!

06/21/2004

There are lots of great news - but also a very sad one!
But let's start with the great news!

Our Skyflowers Jenny Blue "Stoepsel" has passed her breeding conformation on June 19, 2004, and can now call herself brood bitch!

And a new kennel name as well as a mega-great Logo is also ours! (1000 thanks to my dear friend Ingrid, who has designed this dreamful logo!) Now we are going to have some point this year, when things are going fine, small Skye puppies!

Then we received news from Poland from the kennel: MIRAGE:

The beautiful girl Corsa is going to have babies from our Xitus!

Fingers are tightly crossed that there will be lots of sweet tiny black puppies!

And our Xitus is going to be Daddy again:
Our Misery de la Porte de Choisy is also expecting puppies!

After the great H-litter from both of them we have decided to make this breeding again! The kids of both of them are not only beautiful, they are also unbeatable in character!

All the rest you can read in the Rainbowbridge site ........!

06/14/2004

A great birthday!!! Our H-litter from Misery and Xitus is one year old today!

Big congratulation to "Hannibal Lector", "Hemingway", "Hitchcock", "Halloween of Misery" and "Houston, we have a problem"!

We wish you a great day and lots of presents. Your mom Misery and dad Xitus send some special greetings over to you!

06/12/2004

The Easter Bunnies are now with their new families. The handing over with photos can be found here ..............

And finally the long promised results of the BCD Winner Show 2004 (in German) ...................

Then the story about the Austrian National Specialty here .......

I have seen Sheen for the first time when he was 8 weeks old, and I had been thrilled from this small, proud and self-confident puppy! If I had not had my boys at that time - I would have taken Sheen immediately!

Still I have kept an eye on the "small one" all the time. When in 2002 he turned to be WORLD YOUTH WINNER in Amsterdam I had been very happy for him and his owners! He was also very successful at any shows and turned to be Champion at a very young age! Sheen reminds me very much of his Grandma Malheur and also of his great Grandpa Mirage! Now fingers are crossed that there will be many sweet puppies out of this combination!

06/01/2004

First of all the photos and weights of the puppies ..........

Then some great news ..........

Fuzzy has been bred !!!

The "Lucky one" is: Ch. Dako des Corbeaux Farouches.

I am thrilled of Dako for quite a while already! Especially his gorgeous character impressed me! He is such a friendly and charming boy! And besides that he has working grade BH, VGP I and IPO II! Of course he is also CSNB-clear!
When finally our Fuzzy came into season I would have liked to use Dako - but I could not drive there because of the puppies! When Als Imke (breeder of Dako) heard about that she called (owner of Dako) and told her about my trouble! For Heike this was no problem, she got into her car and came over to Imke, who does not live far from here, so that I could have Dako for our Fuzzy! On the next day Roland (Heike's husband) came over to Imke and a day later Heike came again! Incredible but true - Heike and Roland drove from Munich to Bamberg - and back again - on 3 days, just that I could breed Fuzzy with Dako! I thank Heike and Roland from the deepness of my heart, and of course also Imke who made this possible!

And that's how it continued:

Oh yes ..........

Now it's meant to have fingers crossed so that this big love brings lots of puppies .................

Back from breeding we had to pack the camping car already as we went to the National Specialty in Austria. But first we hurried to Bratislava to pick up "our Filip"! It was great that he could spend the weekend with us and that we could meet each other again!

Filip & Xitus

In Bratislava we met Dodo, a good friend, and of course we were very happy about this fact! Then we continued our trip to the National Specialty. It was a great weekend there! The great results ......... and who went Club Winner can be read here ............

The story about that National Specialty will come in the next days.

05/27/2004

All of you who are waiting for news, have to be patient till next Monday because our webmaster - as we are, too - is at the Austrian National Specialty!

So, the information who the glad one was to breed Fuzzy and who is who of the puppies will be announced here earliest on May 31!

Until then you have to be patient ...................!

05/25/2004

!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!

2 wonderful dogs celebrate their 6th birthday today!

Multi-CH. Xitus and CH. Xarah

Both of them will be very spoilt today and of course we are going to celebrate as much as possible! And they have received great presents! We are mighty proud of our birthday kids!

And here is the show result from Buzzele in Giessen ......

05/21/2004

There are many great news ..........

First of course the new photos and weights of the puppies ...........!

Then there was CACIB show in St. Gallen on May 15/16! I would have loved to go there to finally meet my Swiss friends again - but I did not want to leave the puppies alone! So I had Falko go to the show with Buzzele alone! Unfortunately Buzzele hurt her paw on the first show day and limped because of the pain! Therefore she only got a very good and went 3rd place!

With the help of Rege Briggen and her mysterious magic drops (1000 thanks to you, dear Rege) Buzzele could run again on the next day, got exc. 1 and went Youth Winner and therewith received the

"QUALIFYING AWARD CARD",

which entitles us to enter our Buzzele for the CRUFTS 2005 in England! (The CRUFTS is the biggest and most known show in! To enter there and participate one needs the Award Card, which you onle receive at some special shows - and when you win there!) Our Buzzele now has this card! Great, or?

And while Falko and Buzzele had two stressful show days, we here had great visitors! At first "Union" came over with Ute and Bernd! "Union" is a sister of Urmel and of course she wanted to get to know her nieces! They had great presents with them for the dogs and especially the puppies, and some sweet photos showing Urmel and Union playing when they were puppies:

 Union & Urmel

Urmel, U2 & Union 

Then "Halloween of Misery" came with Ingrid, Wolfgang and Momo for a visit! Of course they also wanted to see the small Easter Bunnies and Halloween of course her Mom Misery and Dad Xitus! We had a real great day together and Wolfgang could take nice photos!

Halloween had lots of presents with her: For Mom Misery a huge beautiful pillow (Ingrid had to sew it - 1000 thanks Ingrid!), for Dad Xitus a big bone and for the puppies a typical Halloween-present!

Isn't that cool ???

On the next day Gryffindor came over with Corinna, Stefan and of course Florian to visit the small ones! Once again Stefan has baked a delicious tart! And we have made nice photos naturally:

For the Easter Bunnies and for me this was a real great weekend!

............. and some other small news: At the moment we have two new fellow occupants! But thank goodness Mom Bird and me have come to a deal: she feeds the small ones and I take care of them!

The new fellow occupants

05/14/2004

The small "Easter Bunnies" are now 5 weeks old! New photos and the weights here ...........!

If everything has gone fine our Int.CH. Notre Dame Bay Xitus Kasiterit will be dad of the first litter of that kennel, because on May 13 and 14, Xitus mated the very beautiful girl: CORSA Brikasta

Now it's meant to have fingers crossed till the ultrasounds! Information via: www.alebriardy.republika.pl or from me!

05/09/2004

A Mother's Day greeting from Independence to Mom Fuzzy!

Independence

05/08/2004

The small ones are now already four weeks old. Photos and weights here ..........

05/03/2004

Our new Rainbowbridge Sites (only in German language)

These sites are something very special for me! Although they have always been nice - they were not what I had imagined! Therefore, Gerda and I have designed these pages for weeks on end, so that finally I can say: Now these sites are absolutely wonderful and perfect! And therewith, also the questions of many friends, who have asked me "What is the Rainbow Bridge?", has an answer now.

Look at them - now you will probably understand me!

I thank my webmaster Gerda from the deepness of my heart for this gorgeous work, which - as you will see - was made with heart and soul! Thanks Gerda!

05/01/2004

Finally again new photos of the small ones .......... and of course their weights.

Furthermore, this weekend is BCD Winner Show 04, and lots of my dogs attend there! I wish all most of luck and I look forward to meet them all on Sunday. Photos and a report will of course come soon!

04/30/2004

There are great news again ..........

HAPPY BIRTHDAY !

Our F-litter celebrates its 2nd birthday. Congratulation to Fuzzys Barthez, Fuzzys Forrest Gump, Fuzzys Noah, Fuzzys Lillianné, Fuzzys Petit Coeur and of course especially our Fuzzys Lumiére! Special regards from Mom Fuzzy and half-sister Buzzele!

f.l.t.r.: Buzzele, Grandma Gentille, Ma Fuzzy & the birthday kid Lumiére

And our J Babies had their first visit: Anouschka Aimée! Petra put the small one into the whelping box. Immediately the little dwarfs came along to suck on the tiny legs! But the best was Urmel, who was really astonished to have another puppie in the box!

Furthermore, we congratulate Cicchione "Fabi" de l'avenue D'Artagnon who has passed the breeding confirmation and can now be called brood bitch! Congratulation and a big thank you also to !

Cicchione "Fabi"

Soon there will be photos and the weights of the "Easter Bunnies"!

04/23/2004

There are new photos from the little puppies .......... !

04/23/2004

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SILKE !!!!!!!!!!

Our Silke celebrates her birthday today. The very best wishes from here. The ones who visit our homepage do know, as I think, that Silke is looking after our litters! But for us she is not only the best vet on earth, she is also one of our very best friends!

We wish you, dear Silke, a most wonderful day and meet each other at your party tomorrow. Thanks again for everything you did for our "Easter Bunnies"!

The weight table of the puppies is now available. Their names are also fixed. (Both pages only available in German language.)

Soon there will be more photos from the "Easter Bunnies".

04/17/2004

Finally there are new photos of the "Easter Bunnies". Unfortunately we had to let go one of the girls to the Rainbow Bridge on Apr. 9, 2004. That was really bad for me. And then we had to "fight" for the other three, but as it seems we have won the battle!!!

From the deepness of our hearts we want to thank our Silke, because without her we would not have the three small ones any more! Several times Silke drove over to us after work (and this is a trip of 300 kilometers for one direction), zu rescue the small ones. She did everything she could for the babies!

1000 thanks to Uli and Eva, who have - as always - helped me very much and still help, as well as to Margrit, who gave me uncountable tips and therewith helped the small ones!

Kindest regards also to my friends in the "Briards Friends"-Group, as they stood behind me and gave me lots of words of encouragement! And thanks to my Briard-Guardian-Angel Gerda! I am so very happy to have such friends as you all!

And here are three photos of the "Easter Bunnies". More photos can be found in the first puppy album ......... (only available in German).

04/10/2004

We are unbelievable happy and proud as our Urmel has given birth to 4 charming little girls! To Dad CH. Aermel "Pankow" aus dem Norden: Pankow, that was great between you and Urmel!

First photo from Mom Urmel and den "Easter Bunnies"

As Urmel only had a small belly we did know that it would only be a small litter! The more we weree happy about the 4 girls! Urmel is a loving and sweet mom and so very much pleased!

But please give Urmel and me some days for relaxing! After what has happened the other time with Fuzzy, we want to wait some more days! I think you understand! Soon there will be more photos!

04/10/2004

Besides that today is a special day for us because two gorgeous dogs celebrate their 9th birthday!

We wish you two a great birthday and all the best! We hope that you turn as old as your Mom Jingle and Dad Mirage! Some special greetings come of course from Armagedon to his mom Malheur and his aunt Miette!

04/07/2004

Today our T-litter celebrates birthday and is 7 years old!
Big congratulation to Tabaluga, Tango, Tattoo, Toulouse, Tyson, Tamy, Tiffany, Tignasse, Tootsie and Tivoli! We wish you all a great day. Mom Malheur also sends best regards.

There are lots of news .......... very good ones .......... but also sad ones!

Our Urmel is feeling great, she has already got quite a nice belly and soon the puppies will be born! We all are very curious already!

The next day we went to the CACIB show to nach Nuremberg! You can find the results here ...........

Now the sad news:
Our Vera had to go back home!

Vera with her Stoepsel

Dear Vera, we thank you from the deepness of our hearts for the wonderful time during which you have been here! Your were not only an, you have been to us an honest and great friend and like a daughter! We shall never forget you and will meet again soon!

We have brought Vera home on March 27! It was a real sad day. Our dogs were also sad - they have loved Vera over and over!

On the next day we went to the show to Luxembourg! You can find the results here ...........!

There are super news: Our Multi-Champion Notre Dame Bay Xitus Kasiterit can now call himself CHAMPION OF LUXEMBoURG!!!

We are very proud of this wonderful dog

On Monday, March 29, I went to Frankfurt to the airport - "our" Sabina came for a visit (for those who don't know: Sabina was our first Aupair and since that time is part of our lives).
For 4 days Sabina has been with us and we had - as always - lots of fun! The dogs were thrilled because Sabko was here again. Especially Lumiére, Sabinas's absolute darling! And of course Fuzzy!

Sabina and Fuzzy

We are grateful that we always had such nice Aupairs like Sabina, Filip and Vera with us! They have been like children for us and saying good-bye was always very hard! But it's wonderful that we have frequent contact and that we visit each other every now and then! And our dogs are also happy about this fact! Now we hope that soon we are going to find such a nice Aupair again!
