In January 1997 we registered our kennel in The Polish Kennel Club under the name of Ratlerrimus, and we raised Gemma’s first puppies. Unfortunately, we didn’t keep any pup in the kennel. When few years later we decided to expand our pack, it turned out that Gemma got in sheer desperation about the whole idea. As we care deeply about the health and happiness of our small home mates, we decided not to prefer our own whims to Gemma’s peace of mind and let her be the only child as she wished.
Although the activity of our kennel was so to speak suspended, we didn’t waste that time and focused on studying the breed, getting familiar with the Polish and international pinscher scene, getting in touch with other breeders, and making friends with other pinscher-people from all over the world. Meanwhile, Gemma grew fond of travelling and got back to the show rings, as a veteran. Her big successes was the 4th place for 34 dogs in BIS, Nowy Dwór National Dog Show, and being awarded with the Veteran Winner title, the Polish Club Show in Łódź, both in 2004.
