I'd like to introduce Szurkevillam Vita "Sprite", who I’m hoping will arrive in the UK next month!
She is a 3/4 sibling to Spec and also closely related to my late girl, Wisp. My hope is that she can take Wisp’s place in my breeding program, and so far she is looking very promising with a very solid temperament!

Some people might wonder why I've continued to return to these bloodlines in particular.
So far, I’ve been extremely pleased with my dogs from Zsofi's kennel. They have consistently had correct scissor bites with no missing teeth, clear hips, elbows, spines, patellas, and eyes, paired with outstanding temperaments and nice structure.
Importing dogs from Hungary comes with significant cost and risk, so I wish to minimize the chance of needing to remove a dog from my program. These lines have proven their reliability, and that consistency is especially vital when breeding too.
I also believe these dogs meet the needs of most puppy buyers in the UK. The majority of people I’ve spoken with place a stable temperament at the top of their list, and my dogs from these lines have shown exceptional nerve strength, confidence, and overall stability.
To me, Spec is nearly ideal in temperament: a gentleman, neutral and open with people, polite and sweet with other dogs, fantastic drive and work ethic, all without overarousal or redirection, or being watered down or lacking qualities that make a good working and watch dog.
He has a temperament that is uncommon in the breed, and these are exactly the qualities the breed needs more of.
Having dogs with such consistently strong temperaments also allows me greater flexibility to cross into other lines that I do have access to, without risking mismatched or incompatible temperaments, or bringing in hidden issues.
Lastly, these particular lines are not yet commonly seen in other kennels, and options to incorporate them through outside studs are very limited. So, if I want to preserve and continue working with these genetics, importing directly is my best, and sometimes only option.
