Hello, An Invisible Visitor!
We are very glad to meet you, because if you are here so
you are interested in small “big-eared”– so you are one
of us!
There is no kennel’s history yet because it was recently
registered and it has a future ahead. Now there is only
the history of our love to cockers and they are.
I’m, Elena, when had seen the movie “White Bim Black Ear”
as anyone seen it too, had been inspired with enormous feeling
of love to dog and had began to demand a dog from my parents.
Naturally they had not share my opinion: coat, dirt, walking,
and how much it costs…
The result was – I began to save up 10-kopeck coins in the
champagne bottle.
Years going… I think it is not necessary to talk about my
answer on the question what I want as a birthday present.
In the beginner school my girlfriend had a cocker, of course
red. About other colors I’d not know up to nearly my 30
years. He was jolly and naughty creation, which run with
us and sledged. His name was Pif. He occupied a special
part in my memory and was waiting for its hour.
By my 10th I saved about 80 rubles. Parents got wavered.
But in their mind the “dog” – it is only German sheepdog,
and that’s all.
The price on the good German sheepdog was 75 rubles and
on very good – 90. They added. My happiness had no bounds.
Polina became my best psychotherapist for 7 years.
Then I had married and stumbled in incomprehension. My husband
said that like only cats and absolutely indifferent to dogs.
While we are meeting, boys from our courtyard had seen my
mother feeding the young dog for a few days. And they decided
that as our dog had died so my mother had been missing awfully.
Boys knocked at the door and with the words “ Take him to
your home – he is good” pushes him into our flat.
Thus Jonnik stayed with us for the 13 years – middle-big
dog. The kindest and the cleverest creature, half-breed
of collie and husky, to collie. He was really very sharp-clever
and very sensitive boy, which didn’t need to learn commands.
We just talked to him as to human, but always politely.
When Jonnik died I and my husband decided to bring to parents
a dog. But not a puppy, to have no troubles. Once picked
up an animal , we motioned to take a dog from the dog’s
refuge. The result of our dispute was the decision about
kind, medium (not small or decorative) dog. The breed must
such that we could take it to us in the case of my parent’s
refusal. And then my husband said, that he always liked
SPANIELS!
In a few days we took a red male and named him of course
Pif. When we came to my parents – they refused categorically,
could forget how Jonnik’s death. We took Pif as 1yeared
and have trusted. But the veterinary said he was 5. Have
leaved him for ourselves. While tender outside he was such
a devil at home. He bit at any cause with rage. It was suddenly
and very painfully, crushing fingers and arms. It was impossible
to define the cause. He can sit near, I stroke him and suddenly
he jumped up and attacked. Of course he didn’t allow to
come near when he was under the table, at his place…
After a month we didn’t know what to do. Tried to punish
him, but him he became furious and attacked in the flight.
Our life became a nightmare. I don’t know what would be
the result but once he had refused to walk. We drived him
to the doctor, have made tests - renal failure in the last.
This may explain his behavior. The blood urea was in ten
times more from standard. There were droppers, injections
during another month. We have not time to put him to sleep,
he have died on our hands. I cried, my husband cried.
In a few days he said that want to have a spaniel, couldn’t
cry any more. We looked at red, white-black and fell nothing.
Accidentally have seen an announcement about three-colors
cockers. Is it possible? Let go and see.
One kidling came to us with the dissatisfied expression
on her face, have hided in my legs. I took her to my knees
and she fell asleep immediately. There were no doubts –
ours, three-colored – for luck! This was the advent of Uliana.
Once in childhood I was a few times at the DOSAAF’s dogshows.
It have leaved a vague feeling of the holidays. So we decided
to take part with Uliana. Our breeder Sveta Popelugina said
that the nearest was WHITE NIGHTS and we could take part
as a “puppy”.
Dogshows draws in! It turned out that there are a big number
such “mad” as we are and this is normal!It raced!
Since then 3 years have passed. No we have Jim (Junior)
and Dusya (Duenia). A graduated the cynologistic courses.
Now with the help of the dogs we have many good friends
who love their “Childs” as we are. There many themes for
discussions and meetings. And the visit to another city
or country to the dogshow – it is a big party and journey.
So we opened for ourselves a new kind and tender side of
our life without which we cannot live any longer!
