Who would tell that a simple visit to a friend to help her take photos of youngsters would end up with falling in love so deeply with one of them?
Well... the same thing that happened to me in 2021 when Nathalie sent me photos of Dream, happened again 25 June 2024...
This time, it's not my breed - Golden,
nor Anna's breed - Flat,
it's the breed I admire and adore, the breed I have been showing for friends for years...
Labrador Retriever
This 7 months old puppy gave me goosebumps like no one lab before, and God knows how many litters and puppies I assessed during the last 13 years. This puppy, even at this difficult age of 7 months, has everything I want in lab - gorgeous head, strong bones, strong but straight paws, super dept of body, balanced angulation, tailset, movement, and above all, typical happy and kind labrador temperament. He reminds me a lot of his father who's puppies always surprise me in a positive way, but I can see his mother's side in him as well. His pedigree is the result of two of my great friends and their cooperation - Ivana and Kaća. Being able to know dogs, in pedigree and what they produced was one more thing which drove me to this puppy.
First I told Anna that I can not stop thinking about that puppy, and her answer was simple: "go and get him!"
Then I told Kaća when we met to have a caffe 9 July 2024 : "You know, I'm going to pick up my Labrador now ''She knew immediately which pup it was and the joy on her face when I told her my decision confirmed to me I was right.
After that I headed to Ivana, who was cooking lunch and after a few minutes I told her:
"You know, I did not come just to visit you, I came to pick up that gorgeous pup I can not stop thinking about!"
It's a pity there was no hidden camera to record her shock and joy at the same time. She asked me If I am joking and I told her "of course not, would I joke about something like this? I can not stop thinking about him and I want him so badly. That's why I asked you when you are coming home from your holidays, when I can come over as I wanted him so badly, and I am not going home without him today!"
It was so funny, touching and beautiful to see Ivana speechless and so happy that I decided to take him. And the more we spoke, the more we realised he was destined to be mine. All actually started back in 2018 when I was off to Guisachan gathering. At that time Kaća had gorgeous litter with her beautiful Kala - Fullcool Calabria and stunning Gallivant Wellington from the USA. I recommended her and Ivana to have one bitch in coownership. They agreed but they waited for me to come back from Scotland to help them choose the best pup ( I was laughing why you are waiting for a golden breeder to do it when you both breed labradors and know what a puppy should look like, but they waited anyway ). We picked Kheira - Fullcool Sangria... In 2019. Ivana bred gorgeous litter to Bloomwood Royal Major Globetrotter. Of course, I went to assess puppies and to take photos. We aimed to pick a girl for Ivana, but Alex - Mirakul Adrenaline Rush was so standing out and he had to stay! Later I showed this dog multiple times and with him I shared a deep connection. I assessed all litters he had in Croatia and every time was stunned with the quality he produced. I knew, If I have lab one time in the future, It's gonna be something from Alex. In 2020 I helped mate Kheira to gorgeous Shade - Greenstone's Total Eclipse which Kaća and our late friend Krešo, to whom we recently had to say goodbye too early, imported together from the USA. From that litter Eni - Mirakul Enigma was born. I showed Eni a few times as well, helped Ivana to achieve her CH title... It was me who ended up mating Alex and Eni as Ivana was working, and It was me again who whelped Eni as Ivana was working again... So, Bond was destined to be mine...
I am sure we will have a lot of fun together at the shows.
I did not plan a 3rd breed yet...
But life taught me that the best things can not be planned.
You just live once, so go and get what life offers. This time, it comes in a beautiful black lab I am so happy to share life with.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to my dear friend Ivana for your trust, and to all the breeders whose gorgeous dogs are part of his pedigree. Ivana, he is true credit to you as a breeder! The pedigree I adore and admire, the pedigree I will preserve and proudly represent all over the world.
And now, I have one more excuse to go to Potomac ❤
