Our first kuvasz was Such Finuch Triprima Magyar Perikles -"Igor". He was a wonderful dog but is unfortunately not with us any longer. But we can see his spirit in his puppies and grandchildren. Igor is the father of Csigoras C, S, I anf G-litter. He has produced healthy puppies with great temperament and we are proud to have him as foundation for our breeding program. Igor was a very playful dog that liked to work, expecially tracking and pulling the cart. But he was also good in obdience and guarding his home. He became Swedish and Finnish champion and several of his children have done very well in the show ring.

Our second kuvasz was "Csilla" - Triprima Zen Pzoloquahra. She is good in type with a very stable temperament. But she wanted to be the only dog so she had to move to a family on the countryside. She is very happy, but we miss her very much and visit her now and then. Before she moved she had one litter - the G-litter..

For our first litter we borrowed a bitch - Triprima Plejadina - "Minna". But none of these puppies have been used for breeding becasue of the hip-results and Minna also got blind. Instead two Finnish bitches have been very important for our breeding program. The first one is Vit-Väktarens Feher Bestia - "Ebba" imported from Ulla Paavola.

Ebba was a very dear family member and mother of four litters. She is now retired and lives in the countryside (she did not like when we moved to Växjö town). Ebba has produced very beautiful puppies with excellent structure, movment and pigment and they have a lot of guard instinct. Ebba is not showed much but in the few shows she has visited she she has done great and the judges loved her. It did not take many shows to complete her championship. Her sister "Zelda" - Vit-Väktarens Feher Bessy has also done very well in the show ring, apart from becoming Swedish and Finnish champion she has been Swedish Winner two times and also BIS at the Swedish Kuvasz Special 2003. Our most important bitch Such Csigora Indira "Shiwa" is a daughter of Zelda.

For our O- and A-litter we used the male Such Triprima Maya Jitterbug. This was great male in many ways but when we heard about cases with PRA his owner screened his eyes just to be sure and it was a chock for her and me that the result showed that he had PRA (a sickness that will make him blind in the end). So none of the puppies from this litters can be used for breeding. Simba become BOB at the Swedish Kuvasz Special 2005! No one could see that this 8 years old male has PRA! So thankyou Kicki for screening his eyes just as a routine so we in time could stop this line for further breeding.

Closest to my heart was our kuvasz "Fighter" - Triprima Pax Partisan. We took care of him only 3 days old because I wanted to save his life. I gave him the bottle and carried him with me everywere. He become very spoiled and more like a baby than a dog. He had great hips and took his first CAC (cert) only 10 months old. He is the father of our R-litter. BUT - we made a big mistake raising him as a baby instead of as a dog. He never really learned the dog language and in the end he become dangerous with other dogs. He even killed one of his sons. I had to make the hardest decision ever and take him to the vet. and put him to sleep.

The first bitch with Csigora-prefix used for breeding is Such Csigora Savannah. She has four big males with good hip results but they can not be used for breeding because the father "Simba" has PRA.Of course we did not know anything about PRA when Sanna was sired to Simba and I were so happy for the hipresults in the litter. Later came the bomb - PRA! Of course the whole litter is stopped for breeding. Sannah herself is screened and the veterinary said that she had wonderful eyes for her age. Also one of her sons is screened with great results.

The sire of our B- and Csinos-litter is Such Nuch Berghills Quslig - "Alfons". He is also the father of Asterix. He is a big and very friendly male but with preserved guard instinct. His puppies are doing very well in the show ring and we are happy to have Alfons in our lines. Togheter with Shiwa he has got wonderful puppies.

The second bitch with Csigora prefix is Such Csigora Indira - "Shiwa". The sire is Alfons and their offspring are very, very promising. Several of Shiwas babies have been used for breeding and she is the base four our future breeding. You can say that she is the start for a "csigora line". My intention is to continue her bloodlines and very carefully look for suitable males. So far the "shiwa- line" has given me excellent, type, temperament and mainly A-hips. She is also the only Swedish kuvasz with a Best In Show title! She is my platform and also my future through her offsprings like Csigora Csinos Csazar, Csigora Csinos Csoda, Csigora Csionos Csaba, Red Dog´s Qwanda & Red Rog´s Qwizz. My future stars are Red Dog´s Czabina and Red Dog´s Magic Dream and both of them are granschildren to Shiwa.

Our clown Such Asterix is the father of D- and E-litter. He is a son after Csigora Singoalla and a grandchild of our fondation bitch Ebba. The D-litter was not what I expected and turned out to be a big disappointment, but the E-litter I am very, very happy with - so far. They have what I want in type and details and have been very healthy from the first day.

Csigora Csinos Csaba is a daughter of Csigora Indira "Shiwa" and grand daughter of our foundation bitch "Zelda" and first kuvasz male "Igor". She is a sweet and gentle bitch with a wonderful character. She is the dam for our last litter. Her litter is very promising so far.

The sire of our last litter is "Dex" (Deczi-Albo). He is a very brave, independent male with normal hips and no sing of gPRA. His pedegree is very interesting and goes back to the old Swedish lines with good hipresults.

Our next plan is to sire our star Nala with an hungarian male.
