So, we have finally got her, our new short haired little devil. From the very first day, when I bought Bina, I felt in love with saint bernards. Actually in females. I don't know why I like more females, then males.
When Bina had puppies for the first time, she didn't have shorthaired females. I'm joking about it, that is beacuse she wanted to be the only shorthaired female at home.
But when Bina had her second litter, she finally had shorthaired female, two of them. The choice was now even harder. But Daja is already showing some of Bina's character: digging holes, playing with toys, running away and not hearing :)

When I was searching a new male for Bina, I found in Finnland one very successful on shows and healty male. He has a very calm character, with super head and excellent movement. When Ruth (kennel St.Zamba, Norway) told me, the male is very nice, I knew, this male is the one for Bina. The only problem was distance. Anyway, for me and Bina this is not such a problem, but I wanted to solve this differently. Some people suggested me artificial insemination with cooled semen. I started to search for information about this procedure, calling people with these experiences, I talked about it with vets...
Some people were very pesimistic about this project of mine, but that didn't stop me. I proved my point in the middle of november, when Bina became mother to 8 puppies (the same number as in first litter, where the maiting was natural). :)

I would like to thank everybody who made D litter to become a reality:
- thank you to Mari (kennel Karvakatastrooffin), for sending quality semen in Slovenia and for all the your help,
- thank you to vet personal on Veterinarian clinik for little animals in Lesce, especcially to dr. Marko Mali and dr. Roman Burja. You did an exccellent job!
- thank you to Mlian for a very good care of the puppies and Bina;
- thank you to Gregor who will take care of Daja now and then;
- thank you to everybody who helped me in anyway (there are so many of you), with advices, mayby only with crossing fingers. It helped!

Without you all, this D litter would't be a reallity.
