HURMA iz Ilinka TT , my darling "Hema"
Second ATTS "TT" Temperament Tested and certified Caucasian in the US, foundation dam at Esquire Caucasians, dam of Ch. Esquire's BRUNO TT and my dear-to-heart girl. "Hema" was imported as a young adult from a factory guarding kennel in St. Petersburg Russia where she had already earned her first guarding certificate. Gentle as a lamb with family, loyal, loving, headstrong, not obedient, perfect judgment and an uncorruptable guard, "Hema" has taught me the meaning of "ONE CORRECT TEMPERAMENT" under the RKF Breed Standard. Our foundation dam at Esquire Caucasians.

LALA
LALA is the daughter of the famous FRANT in Russia. We rescued her out of a factory kennel that, due to the economic traumas in the 1990's, did not have enough money to feed her. She was rail thin and had already survived distemper as a puppy in Russia. The factory was not her first owner - she had been owned by a woman who could not afford to feed her either and had given her to the factory in hopes that she would be taken care of. She is cared for and very loved now at Esquire.
Our LALA at age 12 years.
HABIBA
While not one of our dogs, we just couldn't resist including mention of HABIBA, owned by the Russkiy Medved kennel in Russia and granddam to our dams LADOGA and EL.
Here is a photo of an oil painting of the glorious granddam HABIBA at well over 13 years old. |
