At the begining of the year we had 2 “studs abroad”, actually one stud in Poland and one stud with french italian greyhound male that came to Ukraine on our request for a stud service. We had 3 studs planned and more info you may find at the PUPPIES section of our web. We were and still ARE the only one kennel of italian greyhounds in Ukraine who make health tests to our IG girls. And for sure we prefer to use tested IG males in breeding but unfortunatelly not all owners of their males make tests to their dogs. More info about our upcoming litters:
♥ Silvento Diamoura Angioletta – we plan to use Amoura at the end of this summer. She was mated on January to Mr. beauty from France Darius Des Pitchoun Diables. But due to the reasons that didn’t depend on us she wasn’t mated during her hunting even if to consider that we came earlier to the stud. She was mated once and rest of the time we had to “enjoy” staying in other city. We do had hopes that she is pregnant not looking to everything as lot’s of affords were done to go to that stud but ultrasound told us that she is not pregnant. Looking to all the problems we had – next time we will use for sure other male and soon his name will be anounced. Mating is planned for August-September. Amoura had eyes checked in Dec 2013 heart – OK, eyes – OK, knees 0/0, as well as blood was tested she is totally healthy.
♥ Hellica Forum Romanum – was mated at the begining of February. 3 males that I do like to be mated to Helli were fount, all they lived outside Ukraine, I wrote their pedigree down, thought a lot about what I want from this litter and at some moment I decided to go abroad not looking to all difficulties and to use one of that males. 1900 km were passed by car, 32 hours actually – I’m totally ill and Helli is tired but we did it : ) Helli met her fiance at late evening, handsome cream italian greyhound male with nice temperament, lovely head and pedigree – Perito Moreno Forum Romanum. I’m thankful to Karolina and Piotr (Forum Romanum kl) for their hospitality, cakes and coffee as well as for the opportunity of using Perito in my breeding, before he will fly away to other continent. Helli was again tested on eyes, heart and knees on Dec 2013 and yes, she is totally healthy as well as her “boyfriend” Perito – both have health certificates. Let’s hope Helli is pregnant, we will know it for sure in March only.
♥ Silvento Euthenia – plans, just plans but still … This will be Zenya’s first litter and she will not be mated after that for a long time for sure. We just decided to stop her show career for this year, use her in breeding once and after this continue her show career and we do have hopes with her co-owner Tanya to show her a lot in 2015 so the decision was made to use her this year once and then we will see in several years how it will be. Zenya had her eyes and heart checked this year and knees will be checked soon as well. Male that we plan to use to Euthenia is Diadem Di Sangue Regale, imp. from Czech Republic – black beauty with nice temperament.
