Oldies in the Park
Our walks with the "old gang" are getting a bit shorter: Otto is 12, Dice is 9, especially Otto is getting a bit slower with age. Anyway, I still try to take them out as many times as I can, and they enjoy the trips a lot.

Sad Day: Kismet Dies...
Kismet was operated on a week ago: a tumour was removed from her left ear. She looked to have taken all the stress very well, she has been active and eating well in the past days. Her wound was healing nicely. We all thought everything went well. But this morning, I found her dead. Just a day after her 5th birthday, she just gave up...
R.I.P. dear Kismet!

Two Boys
It seems that Peruvians just "come" here - without any long planning... :o)
I got my sow "Kiss" from an exceptional litter, just because I liked her so much from her first day, and now...
But this is not a really happy story. Sabine and Peer Mannheim, my German friends stopped breeding unfortunately. It is their private decision, but a real loss to the cavy world at the same time. I saw and judged their "Wuschelland" Peruvians and Alpacas many times, and it was a pleasure every time. So, I decided that I have to have something of their lines.
Finally, two Peruvian boys arrived this week:
Don Peppino vom Wuschelland "Boston Junior"
silveragouti-white
(Ignaz vom Hohen Stein - Bella vom Wuschelland)
Mr. Mannheim vom Wuschelland "Peer"
tortoiseshell-white
(Dk.Ch. Fingertips So Ashamed - Bella vom Wuschelland)
Many thanks for all who made this possible:
Irina Biletskaya - who gave "Peer" to me, and who organized the whole trip,
Irene von Werne - who helped us so much with the trip and took the photos below,
Peer Mannheim - who let me have some of the last Wuschelland babies.

Röhrsdorf 2009: Dorota's + Wendina's success!
The traditional show in Röhrsdorf (Germany) took place last weekend. I could not attend unfortunately, but lots of my friends could. Dorota (CaviaDoro caviay, Poland) showed her chocolate-gold-white texel sow Wendina at Brentwood Hotel. She must have been in great form as she won JUNIOR BEST IN SHOW (in curly longhair breeds), and her critique was fantastic (see last photo of this entry).
THANK YOU DOROTA FOR SHOWING HER SO GREAT!
