I really don’t know what the future holds as far as breeding is concerned. I have no plans to continue at this time but, who knows what the future will bring. For the time being, I plan to try and get a gemstone title with Karina in 2024 and just enjoy our girls… thank you all for your support throughout 2023.

This is not the update that I expected to write to everyone this weekend. This morning Karina started the first signs that her puppy would be coming in the next 24 hours. I was hyper vigilant with her because she was having a VERY small litter; only one! Singletons can be more difficult for whelping so I was on high alert.

After noticing quickly that something wasn’t quite right, I took her to my vet this afternoon. She needed a C-section surgery and her single puppy had passed away a day or two ago. Karina was not past her due date (in fact it was tomorrow onward). She had shown zero signs of distress. She had not attempted any active pushing or labour at all yet.

I just noticed something small and with advice from a dear friend and my vet I brought her in, just to be safe and make sure all was well. I never expected this outcome. Not in a million years.

The vet said her uterus looked perfect and there was nothing obviously wrong. I know there are things in life that will never make sense and I will never have answers for those things. This is one of those things.

I am going to take time away to care for Karina as she recovers and grieve this unexpected loss. Our hearts are shattered.

I wanted to turned off the comments here on FB as I don’t think I can read anything right now, but I can’t see the setting for that… forgive me for not replying to anything. 💔 Just can’t read this stuff for a while.

Thank you for the lovely photos of Karina, taken at the United Greyhound Club’s show this past weekend.

Karina took 2x Group 1 in a small but mighty Guardian group with tough competition from 💍 and ❤️

Sunday was the day of Wrath 🏆 taking group 1 both shows while Karina snagged 2x Group 2.

This puts Karina at 4/5 legs towards her GRCH title. It’s been a grind but we are getting there 🙏🏻

Had a lovely weekend with great friends 😊 Can’t wait for the next one. So much more I could write but I’ll stop rambling for now 😂

Love our baby Niki so much. She was a very challenging puppy but I would do it over again a million times, she is very special. 😊

Finally got to experience Premier Nationals dog show. Sadly Karina was the only CAS in attendance on the Thursday & Friday I was there, but we had a really wonderful experience.

We showed in the Top 10 Invitational on Thursday and another show on Friday. Showing in the big ring on Friday for guardian group was an incredible feeling, made even more surreal by being part of the first call out of dogs to move up to be considered for group placements. We didn’t make the second call out but I was so, so honoured to have Karina recognized in such a stellar group of dogs.

What made this trip the most special was seeing my best friend win Best of Breed in her Top 10, then Best of Breed in the show the next day (with her bred-by girl Siri!). I got to share the big ring with Kelly, stack our dogs together, side by side, where she also got called out for the first cut. I can’t explain how special it was to share that experience with her by my side!

It was also a true pleasure to meet (& her amazing mom) and ❤️ along with Kelly’s mom!!! ❤️ Thank you ladies for your warm friendship!! And huge thanks to for coming out and bringing me home cooked meals 😄

My first Premier will not be my last, although 2 days was about all Karina can take 😂

Thank you for capturing these pics of Karina at the ABI show yesterday ❤️

Karina is an ABI Master Champion and was the No. 15 all breed for 2022 in the organization. Yesterday she came home with a group 2 placement and 2x group 3 placements.

We hope to reach the next champion level (or two… or three 😉) this year with ABI.

We love showing at and I look forward to seeing what 2023 will bring for Karina and I.

Thank you for this beautiful poster to celebrate our Karina.

She is the total package for us and we hope that she will bless us with puppies this year.

Sincerest thanks to for sending me such a special dog. ❤️

(I know It’s a little early to show her status as the number 1 CAS in UKC for 2022 but the margin by which she is leading makes me believe we are safe to “assume” 🤞🏻We will know for sure in a few more weeks.)

Life with CAS photo dump. Haven’t shared much lately. Enjoy 🤗

Getting a Christmas photo with 3 CAS… easier said than done, thanks to for pulling it off somehow. They were all cool with Santa which was nice! We had an amazing year showing this crew with Oxford Dog Sports. Can’t wait to fire things back up after a holiday break 👏🏻😁

So proud of Nimbus and .lomoth for their awesome performance on Saturday at

Ovod iz Legendy Rokha “Nimbus”, 14 months old, took Best of Breed over Niki and Karina, then went on to take a Group 2 placement in a guardian group of 10 dogs 🎉

This guy has gone through some awkward phases but WOW is he coming into himself now. Couldn’t be happier with his progression.

Throwback to my sweet baby Niki (Hafsa Imperial Asmira) with in Russia. How time flies…

05/11/2022

My ride or die ❤️ This dog is so special to us. Aloof with strangers in public, very territorial at home, completely tolerant of whatever needs to be done at the vet etc., will accompany me anywhere, still shows for me like the champion she is, very loving with family, personality for days… for us, she is just the best.

A couple more photos from our Saturday in Kingston showing with the Maple Leaf Kennel Club.

Had to get a photo of the half siblings together - Karina and Nimbus, both sired by Aman Yar Ulan owned by

And a photo of Nimbus showing off his Group 1st ribbon! What an awesome result!! There was also a guardian booster that day so the ribbons were extra beautiful.

Very proud of .lomoth for handling this boy to a group 1st placement 💙

This past weekend, I had the distinct honour of showing one of my own productions from the 2020 Mishka X Safar breeding.

This is Ironsmith Pretty Arrogant “Dasha”, owned and loved by and his beautiful family! Thank you for this opportunity 😁

Dasha also had breed competition, another class female, who she beat for Best Female. What a lovely outcome for her first ever show!

Had an awesome time as usual showing with ! Always a great experience with great people ❤️ If you aren’t having fun, why bother?

We did one UKC show where Karina won the Champion class and then took a group 1st! We didn’t get any love in the BIS ring but it is ALWAYS a huge honour just to be a part of it.

Thanks again to for the beautiful photos of Karina, Niki and Nimbus 😁
