We had spoken to Libuse about reserving a female puppy from Chiara's next litter early in 2009. Chiara is a female whose pedigree and type had always interested us. When Libuse advised she was breeding her to the 2 x winner of the French Clubmatch, Multi Ch. Moby de Legeane, we were delighted.

Niki's pedigree has some very old lines that we hope will work in nicely with Shelby's offspring. Niki's great grand-dam is Zoraya, who is litter sister to Shelby's grandsire Zamadeaus. Jake and Kobus are litter brothers and both appear in her pedigree. Hence, it gives us the opportunity to breed back on to those old established lines.

Once again, we cannot thank Libuše of Kennel z'Orisku in the Czech Republic enough for allowing this quality young lady to come to Australia.

Niki has joined our successful show team and has already gained half the points required for her Australian Championship title. She takes her first Best of Breed at the Warwick Agricultural Championship Show and she is then awarded Best Junior in Group. This is the first time a Z'Orisku dog has taken a Class in Group in Australia.

She is beautifully structured girl with great movement. Niki's litter mates have been doing well in the showrings in Europe and America.

It is hoped that Niki's attributes of head, chin, topline, depth of body, solid bone and good rear angulation will assist us in the pursuit of correct breed type.
