My name is Dušan Vaďura. We had always had cross-breed dogs at home. So I was looking for a dog breed good to my children that will also fit to my figure. First Newfoundland, Bessii od Štiky, I bought in 1985.
Though she was never approbate, she had pedigree puppies two times. At first time one male and five females was born in May 1988. Second time, in November 1989, was born four males and four females. Besinka died in blessed age of 13,5 years (August 1985 - January 1999).

We kept one female from first breed - Besku. She had puppies only once - with a Dalmatian from neighbourhood - two males and one female. They had short and bushy hair of black color with white markings, Dalmatian-like body, Nefoundland-like character. Beska died in August 2001 in age of 13 yers and 3 months.

In February 1999 we bought Beátu od Zemské Koruny (which we named immediately to Bessie). Right at Easter we went to an exibition and joined the Newfoundland dog club Brno.
After long long all family member discussion we agreed on the name "ze Stínu Pálavy" (from Shadow of Palava) and sent the request to the Czechmoravien kynology union. With agreement of the FCI in Brusel was our station singned in the registry of breeding stations.
Beátka (from now and forever Bessi Nr.2) was in September 2001 accepted for breeding. Next year in March she went to her "groom" Harrison v.d. Wässernachem to Mělník.
And 10th May 2002 at 9.15 first female Adélka was born. Then Amálka, Aida, Aron, Agátka, Archibald, Anny a Arwen. We spoke a lot about names, at the end each got the right to think out one name.

When Besi was one and a half of year old (in February 2000) a balkan newcomerRolfa od Faundlandu-YU joined us. Rolfek was born 29th November 1999 and he come to us with his keeper Mr. Andráš Polgar at 6th February 2000. He must took a fancy for us because he stayed. From starting 12,5 kg in 2nd month has reached to 75 cm (30") v kohoutku a 75 kg.

In October 2000 Mrs. Marie Pavlíková gave us her Bongo Eref from breeder Radek Fiala. He was adopted by our grandmather in age of six, so she wouldn't be alone after Beska's death in August 2001.

The youngest member is Amálka from out own breed born at 10th May 2002. We have momentary one male and two females, and one male lives with grandmother.
