Saki's 9th Birthday

We are celebrating Saki's birthday on the 1st day of the year. It was a rough estimation of her age when she came to live with us, so she has to be at least 9 years old, but probably more.
Previous year she did not have a lot of fits, hopefully this year will be even better.

G-litter was born to Daisy

On 12. 01. 2017 G-litter was born to Daisy with C-section at 13:25. We have 4 healthy, vivid, energetic, "hungry" puppies. 1 boy, 3 girls. 1 girl is red, other puppies are orange. 1 girl has white marks behind the head and a little longer white stockings. All puppies have white markings on the face, toes, chest, all girls also on the tip of the tails.
Daisy was checked on ultrasound prior birth, where we saw that heartbeats of puppies is around 170 bpm, which is normal and fine. Because puppies were big and because we were waiting for more than 2 hours after the water broke without proper contractions and because Daisy was trembling since 11. 01. 2017, we decided with advise of the vets for C-section.
Daisy was also neutered at the same time, because it was planned that she has this and only this litter and after a while that we will neuter her. Because she was already under anesthetics and "open", we decided to do neutering at the same time. The womb was removed and was healthy.
Before waking up also the bump on her nose was tested, i.e. on the nose is a sebaceous gland, just like Kala had on side of her body.
Mum and all 4 puppies are fine. Daisy also accepted puppies just like she would give natural birth. She is very protective over her puppies and loves them dearly.
Weight of puppies: 420 g (blue, boy), 430 g (yellow, red girl), 380 g (pink, girl), 310 g (violet, mismarked girl). Daisy's weight after neutering is 15.2 kg. She was also checked once more on ultrasound before going home (everything ok) and puppies weighted again: 420 g (blue), 430 g (yellow), 420 g (pink), 320 g (violet).
Huge thank you to vet Jang and all the personnel. Photos: vet Jang.

Janez said goodbye

On 12. 01. 2017, when we came home with newborns, we found Janez "sleeping" in the living room. We hope he went quickly and without pain.
On the left is his last photo from 11. 01. 2017 when we came back from the walk with dogs. He was an inside-outside cat, amazing with puppies and dogs, was a teacher to young cats how to hunt mice, i.e. he caught mice and brought them to young cats. He had motherly instinct well developed. He was also very friendly towards all visitors, tried to get into the lap and start "massaging" and be utterly annoying. He was one amazing cat.

Lajk (Lev) and Lola
20. 01. 2017 Lajk (Lev) came for a short vacation. The same day Lola got injured on ice, got stitches and demand to rest for 4 weeks to fully recover. So we went to the dog shows, to which she was entered, just to get either money back or get entry to another show for free - sick/injured dogs should not be shown (which is reasonable and according to rules): Lola's entry fee from CACIB Ljubljana 1 and 2 will be transferred by Slovene kennel club to CACIB Maribor and CACIB Pohorje, while Slovene retriever club expected from us to show Lola (even if she was walking-jumping on 3 legs, even if she would not be able to run in trot, even if it is against the law, even if they stated in the entry form that injured dogs can not participate, the vet report did not help. If they would allow us to bring her later (she was not present), we were planning to invite also veterinarian inspector, so that he could explain that injured, sick dogs just can not participate and end that kind of ill treatment an ideology towards dogs. But they said that it is not possible.

Oli celebrated 12th Birthday

On 29. 01. 2017 Oli celebrated his 12th Birthday with a short walk, photo-shooting and one whole banana. He does not hear well, he does not see well, so we have to be loud and explain with touch or very clear gestures. He stands up and lies down hard, but he still jumps onto the bed, onto the sofa, goes up and down the stairs, is utterly annoying when we have visitors, so we have to put him into another room that he would not hump them, he complains loudly when he wants something, i.e. he is just like he was when he came. Not so long ago he had health problem, i.e. ear infection, than some pus under the skin near eye and ear, had complete examination (X-ray of his head, blood count...), got several antibiotics, painkillers, and drainage, which helped the best. After getting better he had to be vaccinated against rabies, although he is already over vaccinated. His next vaccination will be in 2020, when he will be 15 years old.
Jadranka said goodbye

On 29. 01. 2017 our male cat Jadranka, named after Croatian prime minister Jadranka Kosor, passed away after getting cold and having constant problems with bladder stones.
He was an inside cat, but escaped when he was getting better (he did not hide under the bed anymore, was with other cats in dog bed, no more bugger from his nose etc.), although he was still sick. He tried to escape for few days in a row, like if he wanted to hide and die alone. Maybe we should decide to let him go with help of euthanasia to end his suffering.
He was getting medication on 12 hours, special food, was always on warm inside, because the low outside temperatures would do him bad. With help of our Kala he was found in the attic of the building near the house, sadly, as expected, dead.
He came from Croatia on 23. 10. 2010 a month or two old. He was one amazing cat who liked retrieving of rattle mice, who was always sweet and nice. We took him also to primary schools where we had lectures for children on how to treat animals where he had the chance of loads of petting from children.

Lola's 1st truffle training
On 02. 02. 3017 Lola had her 1st truffle training, a bit modified because of her injury, snow and frozen soil outside. She did not have the chance to learn free search with the nose, or to search for underground scent. But she did learn to recognize the rewarding scent, i.e. the white truffle and not Kinder egg PVC, not human scent and not salami scent.
Lola is really one really smart toller girl. |

G-litter's ENS and ESI test
Early neurological stimulation (ENS) and Early scent introduction (ESI) "training-program" starts when puppies are 3 days old and on the 16th day of their early life. All our puppies go through this or similar program. With the G-litter we decided that after 1 week pause after end of the early training program we will test all puppies to see the results of their current state and development.
The trainer for ENS program was Justina, for ESI program Justina and Barbara. The tester of both programs' results was Barbara, who is a known person to the puppies.
From ENS test we concluded that all puppies are confident and trust the known person so much that they stay relaxed also in not "normal" positions. So far they are promising for pet therapy for people.
On ESI test puppies were tested with 45 scents, some new, some not. All puppies did show a great response to mushrooms (truffles etc.), a huge interest for rabbit fur on a dummy and pheasant filled with rice (instinct), and different responses on fruits, herbs, spices, natural scents etc. At only 26 days of their age they already had greatly developed love for game.
In general this litter is developing faster from our other litters, i.e. majority are still heavier from the biggest puppy at their age (curly coated retriever Hera), while the smallest puppy (Ganda, violet girl) never crawled, i.e. she wanted to walk since day 0. They are amazing litter and we are still wondering what did we do so much better (the COI was the lowest among all litters, puppies were born with C-section, we are perfecting our puppy program etc.)!

Carnival time for G-puppies

On 28. 02. 2017 it was carnival Tuesday in Slovenia, day when we eat doughnuts, i.e. all our big dogs got one doughnut, puppies a half of a doughnut all of them together (they loved it).
It was also the day, when we dressed up the puppies for the event. Only dress for Miška was a bit too big, i.e. she stepped onto the dress and did not like it, but got used to at the end of the party. The most naughty was Grandi, who was hanging from sisters dresses all the time. Well, he was a super-dog.

Miša was puppy tested again due to not getting all the info from the puppy test when her brains were still not developed as siblings' (she was born "too early"). All data we got from puppy test for her was that she is reserved towards strangers and needs more time to relax.

RO Duplica 2017

On 09. 04. 2017 Daisy competed for the 1st time in RO3 class, ended 10th with 1 zero and big plan for future work. All exercises we needed to improve/correct/do-over were perfect (due to training), i.e. the future looks promising!
Lira accompanied Daisy and had a blast after the competition in water with dummies she kept stealing from Daisy. This time she was not waiting on the shore, but was sitting in the water until Daisy came close enough to steal the dummy. At the end Lira also retrieved dummies by herself, i.e. she started to compete with Daisy who will be 1st to the dummy in the water. Progress!

Drobižek and his siblings - 1 year since Drobižek is gone

On 15. 04. 2017 it was 1 year since Drobižek was put to sleep due to cancer.
He was from litter of 5 (1 sister, 4 brothers), who were found in a dumpster crying. Fist days they lived at the vet, on 15. 10. 2008 came to us. We bottle fed them and did our best to bring them up. Due to genetic lack of play-hunt-prey drives, due to loads of worms... it was not an easy litter. Also as adults the only very developed drives were pack drive for family and eating. They can not be "easy-proper" working dogs, but are really just family dogs.
Although we had Kala and May as adult roll models, they could not replace dog-mother. Lots of imprints were done in the early stages of their life, i.e. the way they were usually bottle fed was the way they still cuddled as adults etc. An yes, they also had imprint recall, but on word "kuža".
The estimation of their birthday was 01. 10. 2008.
With 8 weeks few already went to new homes:

With 8 weeks few already went to new homes:
- 1st: Snoopy (smooth coat, to big skin; he liked to cuddle chick to chick; he loved to eat; he found home with young family, who he really loves and "protects"; he had 2 car accidents and due to his big skin vets were able to sew him back)
- 2nd: Drobižek (terrier coat; his name means "tiny" - he did not gain any weight in 1 week, was eating poorly, but when the food became "real", he could not stop eating; he liked to cuddle on his back on the lap, sleep on sofa with head on the pillow, he liked to sleep under blanket and under fire-place; he found home with father and son, but due to not fulfilling the agreement, we took Drobižek (than called Medo) back on Kala's 1st Birthday (09. 05. 2009) when he was 7 months old - he was scared of broom, sticks, toys... was hiding in the corner and peed himself when we were cleaning..., we solved many issues asap and also started solving his fears, went to school, but due to his looks nobody wanted him - because he got attached so much, we kept him; he passed A, BB, RO1, RO2, RO3, competing in RO2, was preparing for RO4 and OB1, but due to cancer was put to sleep on 15. 04. 2016 as 7.5 years young - we believed that he will live at least 15 years without (m)any problems)
- 3rd: Lenko (meaning Lazy; brown; he was the biggest and the 1st one that climbed out of box, loved to eat; he lives with a family with vegetables' plantations, hence his love for salads; due to his colour there were many calls for him, all not good enough, so we gave him to people we know)
- 4th: Bučko (now called Bobi; buč(k)a is pumpkin, also used for head - Bučko's head was big, hence his name; he had epi fit before 2 months, so we stopped looking for new home for few weeks to see, if this was just 1 fit and will not repeat, or if this will repeat - if fit happens with puppies and does not repeat in 3-4 weeks, it will probably not happen again, but if fit happens with adult, fit will continue to happen; sadly we lost all contacts with owners and do not know anything about Bučko anymore - if anyone knows the do, let us know how he is)
- 5th: Marjetica (meaning Daisy; there were almost no calls for her due to being a girl; she had same problems eating milk as Drobižek and same love for proper food and same adult weight problems - too fat - she lost few kilos at our place, when she came to vacation, with less food and more exercise and started to look nice; was living in Slovenia with elderly lady and her son, after her owner died, she moved with her son and his family to Macedonia)

RO Pluton 2017

23. 04. 2017 Daisy competed 2nd time in RO3 class and fulfilled last condition to enter RO4 class on competitions. The course was time consuming and therefor challenging, i.e. there was no time to be precise if you were not ultra fast before. Daisy ended 8th in time 2:57 min with 150/190 points. Things we focused on our training improved, but there are still some exercises waiting for us to focus on.
Also Haru went along to practice obedience and focus on handler among dogs and people.

Ganda (Miša) met Glory

On 04. 05. 2017 Glory and Ganda (Miša) met in the dog school. Glory played too rough with sweet Miša, so we had to stop the play several times. Miša is very sweet, gentle and playful, with long puppy coat and lovely blue-green eyes that will keep changing for few years into amber.
Gray said goodbye

On 05. 05. 2017 Gray, the gray kitten, was put to sleep.
He was very sweet and gentle, very cuddly and friendly (not to puppies, he taught them manners), joined us at the end of 2016 with ginger tabby kitten Red.
He got 1st fit on 04. 05. 2017 at 7:30 am in the cat toilet, next at 13:00, then we did not count anymore. He was taken to vet, got medicine+, was left at the vet during the night to help him recover. Even with medicine for epilepsy, he still had painful fit after fit.
It was also found out, that he was blind. Since when and why we do not know. But till yesterday he managed ok. We thought he was just weird and we loved him just like he was:
We decided to end his suffering, because even with daily medication he would still have painful fits and this just would not be life.
Cat Red was searching for him, calling him, i.e. he really took care for his blind friend.

- he was always inside the house - downstairs in few rooms and in few places, never even wanted to go upstairs or outside
- he was like a shadow to loud Red, who was his support
- he stepped away from the bowl, if other cats were eating and waited for remains, so we started to feed him away from others, because he was just too polite-soft

Daisy's sebaceous gland opened
On 07. 05. 2017 Daisy's bump (sebaceous gland) on her muzzle opened, so we were able to squeeze out the content.
The bump was "tested" several times at several vets, the last time it was when she had C-section and it was found out that it was just sebaceous gland (also Kala had that - it was removed surgically, and now has several new). No, it was never cancer, although we were also scared of that (you never know).
And since the bump opened it is clear that it really was just sebaceous gland - we were planning to remove it surgically in short time and maybe now we will not have too (if it does not to start fill again).

Kala's 9th Birthday

On 09. 05. 2017 Kala celebrated her 9th Birthday. In 9 years nose became brownish, muzzle grayish (hard to notice due to white on the muzzle), face tired, body not so energetic anymore, hind legs wobbly here and there, spine "problematic", but her mind and spirit are still pretty young, i.e. she loves to work and learn. She is really one special girl.
For her Birthday she got a new toy, did few OB exercises (ate lots of salami) and got a huge bone. It was a perfect day for her.

RO Krim 2017

14. 05. 2017 Daisy competed in RO3 class and ended 9th in time 2:18 min with 160/190 points. Things we focused on our training improved, but there are still few things to improve and work on.
Also Haru and Glory went along to practice ignoring dogs - Glory ignored all the rest except she went "wild" with her mother Daisy, who did not like it but did not stand up for herself, so it was all about helping Daisy not to be tortured. While Haru is still many times an annoying dog towards other dogs.
After the competition we went for a walk near the river, where Glory followed Haru and swam for the 1st time.

Development of H-litter from puppies to 2-year olds
In April 2017 we collected few photos of H-puppies, i.e. 1st Slovene curly litter, from their puppy-hood at our place to remember their socialization time and their 1st experiences. They were all super sweet.
Few days before their 2nd Birthday we were able to finish the collage of their development from puppies to 2 year old "juniors" of their front side and their head development.
Photos in puppies' new homes by their owners, friends and dog school instructors.

FCI OB Emona 2017

On 21. 05. 2017 Kala competed in FCI OB in class OB1 and ended 6th with 108/320 points. It was her worst performance ever, probably due to warm weather (she never liked warm-hot-sun while working), still being chubby, her age and not enough trainings.

Glory's new video
We published on yt new video of our 4.5 months old Glory, i.e. one of her training days: she is still learning how to climb out from the pool, how to swim, how to overcome obstacles etc. We are really working hard on her being as confident, obedient (imprint recall, from all situations) and trustworthy towards us as she was before she left. She is showing nice progress, but it is a long way ahead of us (she has also awful nightmares and therefore always sleeps with us).

Daisy's performance improved, while Kala never worked well if it was warm-hot and she is almost with "both" legs in the retirement (she was entered only because the need for a 4th dog for RO competition among clubs).

Chessy celebrated her 5th Birthday

On 25. 06. 2017 Chessy celebrated 5 years. She is really energetic, fast, strong, with big will to please and huge retriever instincts. She jumps from clam into severely excited in less than a second, but has better and better steadiness and obedience and can be controlled also in severely excited state.
Due to high drives she does not see the danger when playing, working, i.e. injuries happen to her pretty often: she injured herself under the front arm, she lost her tooth (3rd right down) etc. But because she is so healthy otherwise, she heals all the injuries very fast (with help of the medicine if needed of course).

2nd Pls toller meeting

08. 07. 2017 we had our 2nd PLs toller meeting. Due to having a hard time finding location with water where dogs and their owners are accepted, we decided to have meeting on the same location as previous year (near Gradišče, near Trebnje). There were puppies from all litters, but we were missing quite a few.
However the toller numbers were increased by a 3 months old german shepherd, who joined the meeting for socialization, building self-confidence and loosing fear of the dogs (but he got much more and had a really nice time).
1st was a short walk in the forest where dogs had mud bath, did some group water happy dummies, had 4fun dock jumping competition in 4 classes, did some balance-body awareness-SUP-land exercises and did behaviour test with analysis.
The longest jump of the day goes to Dusty of course (winner of open category otherwise). More about the event and 4fun dock diving and behaviour tests results are in the blog.
More photos are on fb.

On 15. 09. 2017 blood samples were taken from Lira, Hera and Haru for DNA profiles, for CEA for Lira, for EIC and PRA-cord1 for Hera and Haru, and sent to EVG laboratory in Maribor, Slovenia.
On the same day Lira, Hera and Haru had clinical eye examination:
On the same day Lira, Hera and Haru had clinical eye examination:
- Haru: clear including gonio; has much better eyes from their mother, where the lines from eye formation were seen with naked eye, because the lines can be seen only with magnifying glass and the lines are very short
- Hera: clear, except PPM (iris) on her right eye (remainings of not fully "resorbed" material when growing up, just a bit, not a problem, but her "husband" in the far future will have to have eyes completely clear); has much better eyes from their mother, where the lines from eye formation were seen with naked eye, because the lines can be seen only with magnifying glass and the lines are very short
- Lira: clear except distichiasis on her left eye (1 eyelash is turned in the wrong way, but does not bother Lira) - so far no our dog had distichiasis and we believe that we will get rid of it already in next generation with wise breeding, i.e. her "husband" in the far future will have to have eyes completely clear
Tracking competition Ribnica 2017
On 16. 09. 2017 Heidi competed on her 1st tracking national competition in FPr1 and ended on 10th place with 72/100 points due to bad handling.

On this competition we bought specially designed toys for Hera and Haru from Kai. They both loved it. The toys were ordered for the H-curly meeting, but the order was canceled with canceled meeting. So maybe next year. |
Oli said goodbye

Oli was in our care for a longer time, so we knew that eventually his goodbye will happen at our place, but we were really looking forward to his 13th birthday. This day he started normally, ate the breakfast, dinner and made his last late evening walk in the backyard, which he liked to do several times per day to pee and poo and just to read "fb posts". After few minutes he started to "inflate". We took him to the vet asap, but when we came to the vet, he was already dead.
Oli (Majsa Gyöngyeintelligent, English Bulldog): 29. 1. 2005 - 23. 9. 2017.
Condolences to the owners.

Lira's future husband will have to be: CEA clear, eyes clear.
Hera's future husband will have to be: EIC clear, eyes clear, hips A (few generations back, like in her mother's, Heidi's, line) and no allergies (she does not have allergies, at least none so far, but her father, Eliott, has) and no coat problems (i.e. curls and coat everywhere, like she and her parents and siblings have, because her father's, Eliott's, full sibling has big coat problems, i.e. no coat).
Haru is clear for everything tested, could not be healthier, has coat everywhere, nice curls, no allergies (so far), but his father has allergies, his father's brother has coat problems and his father's line has bad hips, which has to be taken into consideration by owners of the females not to duplicate the problem which Haru can be carrying (but hopefully he is not). When and if the tests for coat problems etc. will be developed for curlies, we will perform those test too.

National competition Goričko 2017

On 14. 10. 2017 Heidi competed her 2nd time in tracking (FPr 1) and got 12 more points as last time and better placement (from 72 to 84 points), i.e. she was 4th this time. The condition on 1st line of her track were very hard due to deer using the same path many times, doing "waves", going close next or precisely on the human track. On the corner she has chosen human track (and also on the line she was not bothered by deer scent). She did her 2nd corner perfectly, had low nose, points were lost mainly on items.
She was accompanied by Chessy, Hera and Haru, who were practicing for 3rd level retriever test.

LP-P Gojače 2017

On 22. 10. 2017 Heidi, Chessy and Hera were entered to hunting trial, but sadly none of them qualified. However, we are happy with their work, especially with Hera, who is really promising.
Heidi did not pick up the rabbit after she found it on a track of another unsuccessful dog. She did tracking part very nicely, did resolve the many scents issue, but just smelled the rabbit, looked up and left it where she found it. This was 1st time she refused to put game into her mouth. Sadly, this was her last exercise in the trial completing all the rest with high points. She came into heat few days after trial, so her hormones could have contributed a bit.
Chessy was after successful tracking of a pheasant unsuccessful at free search of a pheasant, which is normally her 2nd best exercise (after water work). However, in this 3 weeks of training she started to let go the game from her mouth (with help of lots of treats), she could calm down, but still needs a lot more focused work on being able to search for a longer time and to learn how to search with brain and nose, instead of using high speed, eyes and reckless running. She is very good at marks but still needs to learn to trust the handler completely, i.e. if the handler says that there is sth, than there is sth.
Hera showed amazing work with only 2 weeks of training from almost a complete beginner, did really nice work at free search of a pheasant, amazing tracking of a pheasant, but after 2nd shot when she went for a duck, she turned around and came out of water without. We did not train water work a lot, due to living in an area without surface water, and we trained shooting only when the dog was in heal sit-down position. But she is one really promising girl and we are really happy of her progress in such a short time.
Heidi did not pick up the rabbit after she found it on a track of another unsuccessful dog.

National tracking competition Ptuj 2017
On 04. 11. 2017 Heidi competed in FPr 1 on national competition in Ptuj. She had 85/100 points and ended 6th due to her handler's mistake at the end of the track at the last "lost item".
RO season 2017 ended
Barbara has started in the 2nd half of RO season 2017 to intern as a judge assistant on national RO competitions, and competed with Daisy and Kala just in 1st half of RO season, so our dogs could not be placed high at the end of the season 2017. However, Daisy was in RO3 on 9th place, Kala in RO4 on 8th place. As a club (KD Grosuplje) we ended 6th.
Pretty, Rasmi and R(uby)-litter
On the 13. 11. 2017 late evening we started traveling to Switzerland with Pretty, Lira and Heidi, who were all in heat, but only Pretty was to be mated. 2 days prior D-day we dewarmed all dogs with Pratel, next day we dewarmed Pretty once more, but with Dehinel. On 14. 11. 2017 Pretty was successfully mated with Rasmi. The ultrasound will be performed around 05. 12. 2017, litter is expected around 16. 01. 2018.
The weather was nice, sunny but cold, just perfect for tracking training with Heidi (we could not train at home due to snow). Thanks to Rasmi's owners for hospitality, possibility to train with Heidi and for mating.

Dusty and epilepsy
On 15. 11. 2017 Dusty had 1st fit since he started with medicine. Only thing that was different was that Justina, Barbara, Pretty, Lira and Heidi went for 2 days to Switzerland and back to mate Pretty with Rasmi. The vet said that Dusty has to receive bigger dose of medicine (for 1.5 pill to 1.75 pill twice per day on 12 hours). We hope that with bigger dose he will live normal and happy life. He was neutered before he could have offspring (due to crooked front legs, longer body and shorter legs).
Heidi and tracking season 2017

18. 11. 2017 it was final tracking competition in Slovenia (ŠKD Ajdovščina). Heidi did progress, i.e. she stopped at the last item, but did not wait for Barbara to get to her, so all points were lost again for the last item, i.e. 11 points. She ended 9th with 83/100 points. She finished in FPr1 in 2017 on 5th place with german shepherd, who got the trophy for 5th place because he was younger. With team KD Grosuplje Heidi ended 3rd with the same points as the team placed on the 2nd place, who had younger dogs, which is the reason they were 2nd and we 3rd.

R-litter planned for late spring 2018
We made adverts for hardly awaited litter from Pretty and Rasmi. The 5-generation COI of the R(uby)-litter is 0. More info on the site.
Our database is now finished also with the dogs after Rasmi and breeder's pedigree for R-litter is finished.
G-litter puppies comparison
For almost 1st Birthday we finally managed to finish G-litter sub-sites where only thing that was missing was comparison of puppy development from 6th to 8th week.
We are celebrating
Our 1st dog was a "newfie" May who was put to sleep at his 13.5 years due to gastric torsion. This year he would be 15 years old.
5 years ago we founded kennel Praetorium Latobicorum's, 40/17 FCI. In this time we had 3 toller litters (Darwin, Lorelei, Ghandi) and 1 curly litter (Haru). Next year in late spring we are planning toller Ruby litter and at the beginning of 2019 toller Joy litter. Studs for both litters are already chosen (Rasmi and Koda).
Future plans might include chessie Energy (2018-2019) and curly Primrose litter (2020), depending on the health.
