Hamlet at Brentwood Hotel

Hamlet is over 5 years now, but he still takes regular excursions outdoors. A big thank you to his owner Dorina Ruff for the regular updates on his life!

I am Comanche at Brentwood Hotel

This is "Komancs", a boar living as a pet with Nikolett Benke. He is about a year old in the photo. It is nice to hear about him regularly, and read about his special character.
(He is from Vita di Pasolini at Brentwood Hotel and Queenie vom Gotenholz.)

Thank you, Niki!

Cavy Show in Chorzów (Pl)

Erika Juhász and I were invited to judge at the show of the Polish Cavy Club (20-21. March 2010.). In fact, it was 3 shows at the same weekend:
- Erika judging by the EE standards (all breeds),
- Monika Spychala and Daniel Banasiak judging by the Polish standards (longhairs + skinnies),
- me judging by the Hungarian standards (all breeds).

The entries were above 100, the atmosphere was very pleasant as usual, and I had the pleasure to judge wonderful cavies. We spent a long weekend in Poland, we had time to visit Krakow, the beautiful old city in the south of Poland.

I hope to have my show report on my site soon, just some photos here showing some great cavies till that:

My new breed: the young ladies!

These are the young peruvian sows which I kept from my latest litters. They are not perfect, but for me, they represent what I expect from a peruvian.
They are just the first generation of Brentwood Hotel peruvians, so time will tell, how I can work further with this breed.
They are a few months old in these photos.

I would like to express my sincere thanks here, to all my friends who provided me with the wonderful cavies who produced these babies for me!

Dorothy from Kansas at Brentwood Hotel

Well, she is not really from Kansas... She lives in Poland with Dorota Gebska (caviary "Cavia Doro"). She is a golden-white sheltie girl, about 4 months old in these photos. I hope she will develop further nicely, and get some good show results. Also, I hope that Dorota can use her in her chocolate-particolour project successfully.

Dorothy is from Zero Gravity at Brentwood Hotel and Impala Padmee.

Thanks a lot for the photos, Dorota!





Litter Q

This is our recent litter Q. The parents are two Polish imports: Stanley Pompon and Heluta Dior. I like these babies a lot, and even if I have never really liked alpacas (funny, as I just love texels and peruvians...), I am afraid the alpaca baby will stay...:o)

Ulala Dior

She is litter sister to our Zeljko.

Zeljko Dior

Zeljko is our new peruvian boar imported from Poland (breeder is Daniel Banasiak).
His father is Pinacolada Gamo Ganador (alpaca, black-white)who produced some very nice offspring in Poland. His mother is Olala Dior (peruvian, black-white), who is from Fort York Albion and Red Rock Jamboree.

His sister Ulala Dior is at "Piki Kvik" (Russia).

Zeljko is an outstanding boar with size and substance. He has the rare deepest black colour. He produced one litter at "Brentwood Hotel", both babies will stay in breeding. Zeljko is staying at "Ducky Piglet" for a while, where he has produced slate blue already.

Thanks a lot, Daniel, for letting this boar stay in Hungary!

(Thanks for the photos to his co-owner Klaudia juhász.)
