The begginning is far away in 1993. February, the
3rd of 1993 "Firstright" kennel
was founded with purchasing of our first Collie. We've
got Rought Collie female Moon Maris Sister Oaks (Mary, date of birth
- 08.10.1992).
Moon Maris Sister Oaks
She was born in Sestroretsk, small city not far from St. Petersburg. Mary was
growing up
and we started to participate in dog shows with her.
In her archives is 3xCAC and two litters.
Her puppies' happy owners are living in different regions of great Russia.
Mary still looks wonderful and she is in great filling in her 13,5 years.
She lives with our parents not far from our home. Some times we took her to visit
us. However, parents always give her to us very unwillingly, but she loves to
play with other dogs and they concede.
On one
show we've seen magnificent male Collie, who won show in 10 months. And
he was proposed for sale. We wasn't able do not buy him.
Scandiline
Frolic Friend
He is from Baltic, from Litva.
I've made my first self-dependent trip for him. And, finally, in winter of 1994 "Rolik" has
arrived. His full name is Scandiline Frolic Friend (13.04.1993-12.10.2007).
He remained the trace in breed evolution in St. Petersburg.
We used him widely in breeding and we've got more then 76 puppies in Russia and
other countries. Also he participated in shows regulary and he has RUS CH title.
Rolik still attends shows in veterans class and beyond comparison invariably.
You can make sure in that - on middle photo he is in the age of 12 years.
The best puppy from Rolik (in our opinion) was keeped in
the kennel.
It was female puppy - Florida from Mary and Rolik.
Florida
She was born in 1995, May 25 and right away became
our favourite.
There were 6 puppies in the litter, but she was the smallest and the
most tender puppy.
By the way she looked like her father. In her archives also a lot of titles and
show winnings.
Unfortunately she died of desease at 7 years old.
We are still grieve for her. She is always in our memory.
We didn't get a new dog for a long time. But time goes
ahead and we decided to get Bearded Collie. We always liked this breed.
We've considered all aspects for a long time.
But now we've got Darcy and we would like to say
many thanks to our breeders and to all people, who helped us.
We are infinitely gratitude to Marc and Viviane for our "princess".
Also we would like to thank Lena and Carina Grigoriyan for their help and many
pieces of good advice.
Our kennel will develop further (see the last photo).
Time goes on, and our small puppy turned to very beautiful
Beardie. Darcy learned obedience and good behaviar in home and on street
very fast. Since her 10 months we began to participate in shows.
First of all in St.Petersburg, then abroad.
And to 3 years our girl became: Junior Russia Champion, RKF Champion, Russia
Champion, INT Champion, Belarus Champion, Finland Champion, Estonia Champion,
Lithuania Champion, Baltic Winner-06, 7хCACIB.
It was time to think about puppies.
Through those 3 years I've seen a lot of males on different shows, their parents,
searched pedigrees.
And then the time come we've made our choice: NV-04, Sweden Champion, Norway
Champion - Alistair's Bring Home The Bacon.
He lives in Sweden in the leading kennel - "Alistair's".
He is perfect brown gentleman.
And in April, the 19th of 2007 we've got three beautiful brown puppies: two
females and a male.
One female we leaved in our kennel: Festrait Ladybrown
(her home name is Bona). All, we aspired to, we've seen in her.
There are her character, wonderful expression, and the general - very dark
brown coat!!!
It's one, her mother doesn't have. Bona looks very much like her starring mother!!!
Unfortunately, in the begining of October we've got a grief. Our Rolick (Rought
Collie) has died.
He was 14,5 years old. We feel sorrow for him. Our girls are missing him too,
because they were friends.
But time doesn't stops, and we have to go farther.
Our Bona has started to participate show as her mother does. In this time all
goes wonderful!!!!
And we hope, in in the nearest future I'll write good continue of our history.
With love
Natalia and Ilya
