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 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 and Kobus also appears in the pedigree of Shelby and her sons. 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.

We would also like to thank Leanne and Vicki for their comments and advice as both had seen Chiara on two occasions when they visited Libuse's home and they also had the pleasure of seeing Moby in person at the 2007 French Clubmatch.

We hope that Niki will join our successful show team as her litter mates have been doing well in the showrings in Europe and America.

Niki will arrive in Australia at the end of June. 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.
