Cobie came to our kennel in 2001. She was 4 months and a bit old and weighted about
35 kilos. After a few weeks of intensive walks she got artritis and periosteitis.
We had no idea at that time that large breed puppies cannot be tasked so much
and that their joints are extremely fragile.
She was home with that for a month, she missed a successful socialisation and
is nice to other dogs at dog shows only, and that outside the ring:) There are
exceptions to the rule, but rare...
When Cobie was about 1 year old, we started going to dog shows, even though originally
she had been meant as a companion and family guard only. Since, we have reached the
titles of Czech, Slovakian, Austrian, Polish and Croatian champion of beauty.
In 2004, Cobie gave birth to her first puppies. We had mated her in Portugal
in do Sertao kennel. The father was Zumbi ZS do Baicuara, a black male
imported from Brasil.
In 2005, Cobie gave birth to her second litter. At the same time we decided it
was her last litter. The father was Bras Can Xingu, a rich-golden male
imported from Brasil and living in the Czech republic.
Cobie is now a pleasant and staunch family companion and we hope she will keep
us happy with her charm for a long time.
