My "story" started with my first dog, a golden retriever bitch named Raja, in 1994. For many years we were best friends and she told me many secrets from dog-world. In the beggining of 2008, little before she would turn 14 years, I had to let her go. But she is staying with me forever. She was a very important part of my life, with her my love for dogs started and she will always stay in my heart.

 

My first flatcoated bitch was my Rona. She joined us in 2001. She was a challenge then, she is still and she will always stay a challenge. She is a special dog for a special moments and with a special place in my heart. She is that once in a lifetime dog, when you know you will never again meet one like her. I absolutly love her and she can still - after 7 years - suprise me completly.


And this is how my kennel, my big hope, got the name. After my two loves - Rona and Raja. But RonRaj kennel is a small kennel, breeding about a litter per year. I breed flatcoats out of love. I only breed a litter if I am sure it will bring something good to the breed itself. I plan each combination carefully. My goal is to breed healthy, good looking flatcoats with tipical temperament and working abilities. And because I want to have a personal contact with each of my dogs I can't have too many of them at home. My dogs are on the other hand my family dogs, living in close contact with me. Also puppies are breed in family enviorment and I dedicate a big part of my time and energy in the socialization of the puppies.

I had first litter with my Rona in the beggining of 2005. For a father I chose nice liver dog and we got 13 sweet black puppies... Some of the puppies from this litter are succesful on shows home and abroad. I am especially proud on RonRaj Attractive Nuisance, who makes us very proud. In the summer of 2006 Rona had her second and last litter with a beautiful black dog from famous Moonstruck kennel. Again litter of 13 puppies. I belive that this was a good combination, which will give many good thing to slovene breeding. Ot of this combination I kept for myself little naughty girl RonRaj Before You Know, who got a name Chaya. So far Chaya achieved some of excellent results on shows, was already a champion before she turned 2 years and has perfect heatlh results. I am proud of her and her owner! More puppies from this litter is very succesful on shows but most important this combination gave us very healthy ofsprings!

In the autumn of 2005 another important thing happened. From swedish kennel Mirax we got amazing black puppy girl, who won my heart in a moment. My Pia is my big joy and she makes me very proud. Her first litter in 2008 was carefully planned as my base for my breeding in future. I lay all my hopes on it and I was not dissapointed. Puppies looks very promissing and I kept for me 3 puppies from this litter - the only boy and two girls. Out of 6 puppies there are 5 of them potencialy staying in breeding which makes me very proud. I will be happy to follow their developement.

At the moment I have 5 bitches and one dog. For this I have to be thankful to all of my wonderful coowners. For the understanding of my big love for flatcoats, to aprecciate my work, to understand my wishes and to help me with my breeding. Urıka, Lili, Lena and Stane - you are the best, THANK YOU! And a big thanks to all the wonderful owners who give my puppies the best homes! And thank you all who are helping me from the 'back' - without you I could not make it... Thank you for loving flatcoats the way I do!

All of you who are interested in the breed I own, want to know more or maybe looking for a puppy or a stud dog, please don't hesitate to contact me. I will gladly answer all of your questions or just share my big love for flatcoats. If you maybe want to become a member of our big 'family' you are also welcome to contact me. Every now and then we are looking a coowner for a promissing puppy and right people are always welcome!
