The logo was made by Alena Animal Art and we would like to use this opportunity to thank her once again. We will figure out how to include the logo on our website as soon as possible. If you are using Facebook, don’t forget to visit&like our brand new page Diamond Rush – we will be uploading photos of our dogs there and we will write some short news about our kennel from time to time.

So… we have taken time off for a whole summer. We decided to not attend any more shows because we have to wait for Lillie to grow up and finish her exterior. Her coat is getting seemingly darker and more compact. We plan to return to Czech shows sometime in September/October. Nevertheless, in three weeks from now we are going to a show in …. (secret). It would be nice to win something, but Lillie is still quite young. Fingers crossed! In a meantime our dogs are enjoying hot sunny days, going for walks and meeting our friend’s dogs. In addition they learned to stay still for skilled photographs Lukas Skalicky and Anna Postnikova to take some lovely pictures of them. You can find results of their great work on Flicker (Anna) or Facebook (Lukas, Anna). Once again we have to thank both of them so much and we are even more looking forward to another mutual walks in the nature!

On the weekend there was a club show and a special show for Australian and Belgian Shepherds on Krasna Louka grounds in Mlada Boleslav. Angie Challenger, a well-known judge from Great Britain, was invited to arbitrate Saturday’s show. Popular expert on Australian Shepherds, Nannette Newbury, was asked to judge Sunday’s show. She had flown all the way from California, US. The secondary program was an eye examination by a vet and a seminar with Mrs. Newbury.
