The year 2013 was big in many events. We used chilled semen for our fist time in breeding. Jazz was bred to french champion .... Ynes was bred to Switherland The Designer, whos chilled semen Eva brought from England. We got 2 litters - litter B of Braque d´Auvergne and litter C of Basset Hounds.The dams were used for their last time in breeding - the reason was age of Jazz, and bad luck during delivery for Ynes, as she allmost died for bleeding after caesarian - so she was saved by our vet from death. We stay very gratefull for services of both the vet clinic for atrificial inseminations, and for ceasarians. Thanks to prompt action of our vet - Ynes stayed alive!
We kept a boy Bollinger from the big litter of Braque d´Auvergne, and both Basset boys from Ynes last litter. Their names are Calvin Klein (called Kevin) and Captain Jack (called Cappy).

In summer boys Svatopluk and Timur Bohemia Horrido, both lived in Austria, went over rainbow bridge. Thanks for both families Kralicek and Hellenschuss for perfect life-care about them. They were great ambassadors in austrian club and we never forget them!

We visited not only the Nationals (big Basset Hound Club show), but also enjoyed one-day-ride on Harley Davidson on Route 66, and then in rented car followed the mighty Mississippi River down to Memphis, Delta and New Orleans on a track of nice music. We have drove 6 thousand kilometer on our way. We spent nice time on a chalet in Missouri with Beltine Bohemia Horrido and her owner Betsy Warner, who introduced Iva to several important "Basset people" at Nationals. We enjoyed many evenings together on a big terrace, making barbecue. Betsy cooked for us beef after old family receipt - brisket was great food!! We also celebrated Tinka´s 2nd birthday. She got a special birthday gift from Iva - a Harley Davidson cap!
