30.12.2004 Good news at the end of the year: Bartok´s daughter "Amelina vom Rodenbächlein" has been x-rayed for HD. As all Bartok puppies which have been examined yet, she is "HD-free A1". We are happy about that superb result, and hope Amelina´s siblings will have the same...

Amelina seems to be very happy about her good result ;-)

04.12.2004 At the CACIB Kassel Bartok finally got his last CAC. He now fulfills the conditions for the German Championships, which leaves us very proud ;-) His daughter "Dorie vom Sonnigen Gemüt" gave her debut in Puppy Class, where she got a "Very Promising".
   
29.11.2004 We got a new addition to our pack: the Finnish Hovawart bitch "Ronja" (Hoffen-Haus Inverness) joined us today. She will stay until she is allowed to get to Great Britain, where she is expected at Pines-Hovawarts. My boys are very happy with this female addition, and as far as I can tell Ronja likes it in Germany as well...
