Fumi Skye Manwë - we call her Skye at home, is my dream girl. I was planning for more than 2 years to add another female into our kennel. I was searching for so long to find the right litter that would satisfy my very high standards. I was searching for a litter where I could be absolutely sure about the presented health as well as satisfied with the personalities of both of the parents.

Skye is from a very nice litter of 8 puppies (2 females and 6 males) from which 6 puppies were standard. When I was going to pick a puppy, I had one aim and that was to have a copy of Badawi (Skye's mother). I wanted a female with stable and composed personality, but also a female with an energetic and interacting personality. I wanted a female that would have the leadership skills to once lead the pack. Since I have a big interest in the show life I wanted a female that would be active and enjoy the show ring with me as well as enjoy other activities to keep my pack more alive. Skye took over this role instantly and I cannot describe her personality in words. Skye is the girl with hundreds of faces. She can be playful, energetic, naughty, cuddly, and when required, very protective over her family. She is such an important member of our pack without whom there would be a piece missing.

Even though we do not have little children in the family, Skye loves kids and has a really great relationship with all of them. She is very careful around children and knows exactly how to play with them. She really enjoys returning back to the kennel she was born in because she has a really good human-child friend with whom she always plays. Skye and I visit Kennel Manwë in which she was born very regularly and she is perfectly happy to fit in with the Manwë pack. Skye does not like conflicts and loves her dog friends (males and females).

Since I enjoy handling dogs, Skye has spent a lot of time in the show ring and she has achieved several titles. She loves the time in the show ring and she enjoys making me happy. When we are not in the show ring together we spend time on walks and obedience. Even though we do not focus on hunting too much, Skye managed to complete one hunting exam.

Skye's dad is a polish import Artaban Cieply Dom. Artaban comes from a very interesting Norway-Canada mating. He is a male that is not only very successful in the show ring but also very successful in the working field. Artaban has the titles  Interchampion, Vice European Winner 2014, Grand champion, Club Champion and also Champion of several countries. He also places Excellent 3 at the 2017 World Dog Show from Champion Class. Artaban also carries working titles of the KCHRR Club for the years 2015 and 2016 and has successfully completed many working exams.

I think his personality is best described by his owner and I very much see my Skye in it as well:

Artaban's character is absolutely perfect. I have never had a dog that would be so dedicated and would constantly want to be by my side. All my dogs are very attached to me but Art is almost addicted to me. It is also to this trait that his training and upbringing was so very easy. It is just a pleasure to live alongside with such a dog.

Skye's mother is Badawi Manwë. Badawi comes from Australian and Croatian mating and she has completely won my heart over with her personality. Badawi is a very energetic and interactive female. She raises her children from their very first breath and throughout their whole life (She teaches Skye a lesson every time she visits :D ). Badawi is not only a great mother but also very successful within the show ring. She has achieved the titles of Interchampion, Grand champion, Club Champion of KCHRR and ČKRR and also the champion titles of many countries. I had the pleasure to enter the ring together with Badawi on many occasions and she is my best partner in the ring. She does not run but she flies.

Both of Skye's parents have complete set of health results above the club requirement including genetic tests.

Candidate for: Irish Champion

The father of our planned litter will be Kani Akilah Encane Hasani for Jengachenga - called Ukkie. Ukkie is a male from Dutch-English mating and comes from a litter of 10 healthy puppies. There was one non-standard female with crown offset.  Kennel Kani Akilah has a great database of all health results of their dogs, including progeny, regardless of the results. Unfortunately the plan of my first litter with Skye and Ukkie's brother in Spring 2018 did not work out and I had to make the decision for another male. Kate, the owner of Ukkie, was absolutely amazing and immediately offered Ukkie to me. It is thanks to her and Esther that I can make my dream come true and finally include the Kani Akilah lines within my own breeding.

Ukkie i a very calm and mature male that loves people. He lives with his owner and his dog family in Scotland. He is a very cuddly and compassionate dog.

When I was looking for stud male for Skye I was trying to find a confident male that would complete Skye. Ukkie has a great male head with great expression, great strong jaw and with good ear set. He s a very balanced of long format and good angulations. Ukkie and his owner are not the fanatics into shows as I am but they still achieved the life-long CRUFTS entry as well as Green Stars for the Irish Championship.

Parents:

Ukkie's father is an English dog called Mwenga Hasani for Jengachenga - Sani. Sani is a very successful show male. He achieved several titles during his show career including Club Champion. He also received the title of CRUFT's Best Veteran in the year 2015 and is the only ridgeback with the title of Irish Veteran Champion. Sani is Kate's soulmate and she is extremely fond of his personality.

Ukkie's mom is the beautiful Kani Akilah Aketi Azuma. Azuma comes from the first litter of Kani Akilah kennel. She is a very graceful female that often entered the ring alongside Ilse and achieved numerous titles including the title of Dutch Champion. Azuma has a calm personality an she was very active within her pack and the show ring even at the age of 10 years.
