Nice fish...

I visited the Interzoo trade fair in Germany last weekend. It was a business trip but fun at the same time.
This is the fish which I like most: a Betta (Siamese fighting fish). It comes with various finnage and colour forms, but this one was me favourite definitely:

Angel's Teardrops at Brentwood Hotel 27. 12. 2004. - 10. 05. 2010.

Sad news from Moscow...

Angel died today. She was very special. Not only because every cavy is special in its way, but because...

... she was from my lilac line of texels, which I had to stop a few yers ago. I am still missing them.

... she was my first export to Russia, so the first Brentwood Hotel ambassador there.

... she was my first cavy sent to Irina Biletskaya. So, she started my friendship to Irina and her Mom Marina Sergeeva, which is a very valuable friendship to me.

Thank you, Angel, for all these! ...

Some old age photos of Angel:

Junior Champion!

Good news from Poland: Fancy Dress at Brentwood Hotel "Kitty" has become Polish Junior Champion! No wonder, if you look at her photo! :o)))
(She is 5 months old in the photo.)

She is from Mr. Mannheim vom Wuschelland and Heluta Dior. Her owner is Daniel Banasiak, Dior Caviary.

Thanks for the photo and for promoting her so well, Daniel!

The first Brentwood Hotel alpacas leaving the nest...

These two babies just left to their new owner Ioana (Impala Caviary).

I would have never thought that I would breed alpacas, but when this black-white alpaca boar arrived from Britain, I simply could not miss the chance...
Thanks to his breeder Nikki Matthews (GB) and owner Irina Biletskaya (Ru), Nikki's Black Tie Affair spent a few months at the hotel, and managed to produce a few litters.

Thanks for the babies' photos, Ioana!

Ottó's new Flexi

I have never really liked te Flexi type dog leads. My dogs listen to me (usually... :o), and come to me when called. So, we never really needed them.
But as Ottó is growing older, he has lost his hearing ability, so it is a different story now. We needed something when we walk near traffic. Well, here it is:

Nice surprize

After the show in Chorzów, I received a very special present from the board of the Cavies Club Poland (CCP). They awarded me the title "honorary member" in their club. I also received a nice diplom on this!

Thank you, it means a lot to me!

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!
