HAPPY NEW YEAR 2025!!

2024 was a total rollercoaster. We gave up on going to shows for a while due to a lack of motivation and disappointment with how these shows have been lately (It's not about us losing or winning, but about the attitude of judges and breeders, often the lack of knowledge, and too many shows all around). Still, we attended the World Dog Show and the European Dog Show, and our dogs received placements at both shows, with record entries. We were also on the way to Crufts, but an illness caused by a tick stopped us. Losing Kansas was a shocking event, and we are still not recovered from it—I can barely speak about it.

On the other hand, we welcomed 2 litters this year, which brought great joy to us and their new families. The world was made richer by 13 new Jewelbug kids this year. We also kept a puppy, Jewelbug Benjamin Button, and we are looking forward to his future achievements. Jack also had a busy year; he sired litters in Bulgaria, Romania, Germany, France, and Israel, as well as one in our kennel. Winston sired a litter in Ukraine, and two more are upcoming.

Jolene achieved CIB (International Beauty Champion) status this year, winning CACIB titles in 4 countries year to year. She is the mother-to-be of our upcoming litter, which we expect in early spring 2025.

Looking forward to what great things 2025 will bring us, we have lots of plans!

We are grateful to our dog-world friends and puppy owners, who are always here with us!
