Dog Diaries
I met Karolinka first in 2018 as my colleague’s daughter and few months later we left with other friends for a road trip to sunny Tenerife! We travelled and talked a lot and one thing I was amazed the most was her love towards dogs.
I have seen when she brought her first little baby doggo and what kind of scary-cat he was. She took a long, sure not easy path to raise a healthy, amazing and well behaved dog and a companion to her. She gave him her love and got 100x more back.
And I thought wow, I want to know about it.
So here she is, sharing her experience. So keep reading!

Argonaut & Me
THE JOURNEY WE TOOK
So how was it with my Argonaut? The whole love story started a bit sadly. I got on a college to Prague, where I was really anxious, I missed everything and at the end, it escalated so badly that I was mentally ill. At that time, I already knew that not only because of these conditions (but MAINLY because of these conditions) I want my own dog as somehow I felt it was something I missed.
After texting to all Czechoslovakian Wolfhounds kennels, where the waiting time for a puppy was at least a year, – I was scrolling the facebook page and suddenly saw an ad for puppies, which were saved together with their mother from gypsy’s settlements in Slovakia.
They were over 3 months (collection of puppies is at 2 months) and a few of them still did not have a home. And there he was he. A black nose of puppy looking at me from that blurred photo, and I knew I didn’t want to buy a dog for xx thousands from the kennel but instead I want to save just this tiny black doggie that looked so different as if he had become entangled with his siblings and mother by complete coincidence. I did immediately contacted the lady and within two days I was holding my beloved Argonaut in my hands and didn’t let him since then.

The beginnings were slightly more complicated. As he lived in a pack with several dogs of all ages, he probably took the scars from that time. He was afraid of another barking, was eating his biscuits one by one, which he took to his dog bed and carefully hid under a blanket, waited a moment, and only then he ate it quickly. He was afraid of men and couldn’t play with toys, because he didn’t know any of them. All of these things were breaking my heart. But at the end we managed it together and now he is the most amazing dog I have ever met.
So what is he like? Loving, kind, loyal to people he knows, always in a contact, empathetic, well-behaved, calm, sensible, smart, and as I like to say, he was born simply wise. 🙂 Yippee but also slightly lazier and if he doesn’t have to, he doesn’t bother unnecessarily. But that doesn’t mean he is a lazy-bone. With his running speed, he can most likely cope with greyhounds or hounds and has not met faster dog than himself, yet.
Ary was born mainly for me. Not with a penchant for any dog sport, or with any passion for something. Just for me and for him to live and breathe our time together. We are extremely addicted to each other (ok, maybe I’m more on him than he on me). It’s just a piece of my soul. <3
Ebertus aka Bertíček
Bertíček is currently our (so far) last dog that currently inhabits our home.
How to describe him… Well, he loves everything alive, is a lickspittle, smarty pants, perceptive, cuddly, long legs and floppy ears ginger fox, for what we laugh at home non stop. But he is so suicidal, the instinct of self-preservation is zero, he is brave and always everywhere.
And just after a few days all together he was the last piece of puzzle to fit in our family perfectly. He was born in a kennel where his parents and grandparents actively work as hunting dogs. His mother was very busy, so Bertíček comes along with another 13 siblings! Gosh.
He was brought by my mum as a partner in life and jogging and trips buddy to forests and nature. Well, I have my personal plans with him too. When he grows up, I’d like to run with him canicross and take part with him in the Mountain Challenge races (races in the Czech Republic, which take place at the highest mountains of the Czech Republic and runs up and down the mountains ((I know, crazy!: D)). It is currently a 7-month-old puppy and he is growing an increasingly amazing dog !! 🙂

A larger-than-life character, the Hungarian Vizsla makes a fun, lively, loving companion for those who can give him the time and attention he needs. A sensitive dog, they enjoy being active and learning new things and revel in training, provided it is fun and rewarding. They can be naturally protective of their family and as they bond so closely to their beloved owner, they hate to be left alone.

About Mia
MIA AKA ZMIJA
How to begin. Mia has been quite different since she was a puppy. She was afraid of dogs, she was afraid of people, she didn’t want people around, and she didn’t even want us.
Even as a puppy within not even 1kg in weight, she was very wary like an animal in the wild, and it has remained so far.
And how she is now?
To strangers very reserved, she doesn’t like anything, her best friend is a ball and doesn’t like cuddling either human contact.
We say she has a feline nature because she only comes to calling when she wants to: – D. does not like to take a part in the evening’s last walk because she usually sleeps and does not see the logic why she should get up when she can wake us up at 3 am and go whine at the door so we all wake up. 😀
But time to time she can also be a good girl, and when she wakes up in a right mood, you feel for a few seconds that she is that cute pocket dog, you bought.
She has also a radar on people and so if she comes to you by herself, you will definitely be a good person!
Anyway, she’s mainly an athlete by nature. We run together agility and she can run tens of kilometres, with us, every day. It’s just a perpetual mobile. Sometimes we think that she wanted to be born as a giant doberman, but they only had a body of a 4 kg rat in stock. : D
She is our great director, controller and rules over all of our dogs and is not afraid to show them her teeth if necessary.

Prague Ratter
Ratters are social dogs that thrive on strong and dependable relationships with their humans. They love receiving attention and enjoy being around kids.
However, due to their small size, these dogs should be supervised when with young children. Though generally friendly, Prague Ratters can be a bit reserved with strangers. They may also be intimidated by other dogs—which may result in confrontations.
This breed adapts well to full-time indoor and apartment living. Though they love to play (and do so quite energetically), Prague Ratters are more than happy to be a lap warmer during downtime. Unlike other small dogs that can be yappy, the Ratter is typically a very quiet dog.
