ITRODUCTION OF THE DIVA NOIRE KENNEL
The Diva
Noire ten-fold Golden-Wreathe (it is the highest prize that a breeder
can receive in Hungary) smooth-haired dachshund master-breed
popularizing the dachshund species for 3 decades.
Me myself has been in love with the dachshunds since my
childhood. I was around six years old when a friendly dachshund jumped
into our family car. This acrobat-like dachshund established the
friendship between me and the dachshund popularity for a life. After a
while we took part in our first dog-shows, where we won beautiful cups
and not only one but four dachshunds were running around me and my
family. Soon the whole family was astonished by the species. In a
couple of years we took part in European dog-shows with four
enthusiastic dachshunds and we won great results and beautiful cups.
I followed my father’s practice when I started to focus on
the dachshund breeding during my university studies.
Being familiar with the national blood-line I created my former
dachshund population of which main aim was to “save” the dachshunds
from my childhood.
As a young adult my most loyal friends benefit from
outstanding quality and exhibition results and fortunately these
dachshunds are from the most successful “Chocolat” kennel of the time.
This blood-line was about to extinct, but after doing a very thorough
family tree research I found the blood-line’s last veterans.
The mission seemed to be impossible but I could make it
possible when I reached my goal after a couple of years with the help
of stud dogs aged between 13 and 16. When I looked out of the window I
was very delighted, proud and satisfied, because I saw the dachshunds
from my childhood around me regarding their type, colour and character.
I have been throughout Europe in order to observe how the species are
bred. I not only loved them but also improved my knowledge about them
as well as I had new goals too and this complexity brought
international success.
In the last two decades I managed to fresh up the Diva Noire
breed and the Hungarian dachshund popularity with Europe’s best blood
line. The world-wide known Belgian “of Lady Joan” or the Holland "v.d.
Mibaf’s Hoeve", the Croatian "Kan Trace" as well as my Hungarian
friends in Transylvania who have the World and European Champion
"Zoldachs" breed in which the outclass stud dogs benefit from
outstanding genetics were used in my breed as well (So I am thankful
and grateful for Éva Majoros and Csaba, Josef Holstapper, Lammy Hamelik
and Julia Vukusic).
I also bought outclass stud dogs in order to improve the
breed. The latest was ICh, HGrCh Taksagalaktic Trition (thank you for
the breeder, Galina Slesareva, for this amazing dog) from Russia who
has not only outstanding anatomy and work aptitudes, but he is also
special because he is a brown-tiger male and it makes a very unique
colour combination in Hungary.
90 Champion, among them several Inter and Grand Champion Diva
Noire dachshund can be found from Russia to Norway throughout Europe.
We have won three World Winners, six European winners, more than twenty
breeding groups, countless breeding pairs, best of breed and breed
groups (BOG) in the most diverse corners of Europe. Graz, Luxembourg,
Wieselburg, Sarajevo, Helsinki, Prague, Berlin, Brussels, to name just
a few prestigious exhibition locations.
In 2022-23, in the last two years alone, we achieved 50 Best of Breed
(BOB) positions (of which we won Group of Breed (BOG) at 9
international shows with 6 different Diva Noire dachshunds), as well as
64 CACIB titles.
At the Jubilee WUT show (which is held only every 5 years), we won the
title of best male (Jubilee WUT Champion) and best young female
(Jubilee WUT Junior Champion) titles. At the Italian ABC Club Show, all
the classes were won by my Dachshunds, so it was a great pride and
experience that only Diva Noire dogs competed for the BOB, whom I
nominated for the competition (winning BOB, BOS, Best Junior titles and
Italian Club Champion titles at the same time).
And on the Closing Day, we were able to increase our my "Wall of Pride"
with another Junior World Winner title and class winners titles.
At the MTTE
Club Show in Komárom, our success in Italy continued by the judgment of
the world-famous Spanish breed specialist Juan Naveda Carrera.
My own Diva Noire dachshunds won all club titles (BOB, BOS, Best
Junior) in the very crowded and high-quality field!
The same success was repeated in Croatia, where all club winners (+
BOB, BOS, Best Junior & Junior BIS2) titles were also won by
the Divas.
In 2023, we are very proud that the Diva Noire dachshunds stood out
among the BIS results!
I would like to highlight the 2023 Club Shows of the Miskolc MTOE,
where fantastic Italian breed specialist judges: Arianna Giorgi and
Andrea Randazzo judged. In the high-quality field, all club titles
(BOB, BOS, Best Junior) were won by Diva Noire dachshunds, which was
further enhanced by the incredible conclusion: DIVA NOIRE dachshunds
were also on top of the BIS, Junior BIS, BOS BIS, Puppy BIS podium.
The success
of more than 30 years of work as a breeder can be measured in many
ways.
It can be
measured by the 10 times golden crown master breeder title I achieved,
it can be measured by the more than 90 champion Diva Noire offspring,
it can be measured by the successes achieved at the most prestigious
and also the most populous European and World Dogshows, by the
recognition and happiness of the owners of Diva Noire dachshunds ❤.
I think
that by all standards, it gives me great pride that DIVA NOIRE
dachshunds have been at the forefront of Europe for decades!
Behind the
success lies a lot of responsible work without a day off, resignation,
obsession, a kind of love, and professionalism matured with experience.
Many
prominent breeders worked/work with Diva Noire dachshunds, so it is
also a source of pride, and it can also be a measure of success that,
in addition to my World and European winning dogs, many World and
European winners (3 World Winners, 1 Young World Winner, 1 European
Winner, 2 Young European Winners) ) dog comes from Diva Noire parents.
As a
breeder, it is also a recognition and joy that my work lives on through
other breeders 🙂!
Nevertheless, not only the dog shows are challenging in my
breeding work, but also the fact that as their ancestors they must
stand their ground in hunting too. As a result of the conscious,
determined fellow in his species which have stable hunting skills. The
Hungarian breeders have done very well as the Hungarian dachshund
popularity belongs to the frontline in the world to which the Diva
Noire Kennel has also contributed.
