Brief synopsis

They live for and with their dogs. Thomas is a passionate breeder. He loves his dogs so much that he involves in the bloody food preparation eating habits of African Maasai.

For Jana her Boston Terriers belong to family. Currently she can not take care of them because she is pregnant – a high risk pregnancy. She is in the hospital, but her experience with dog pregnancies and dog births helps her more than the equipment medicine and doctors.

Jana and Thomas breed in dog clubs, therefore their breeding underlies internal controls. Their dogs are inspected by breeding confirmation judges, measured and evaluated. Almost always their dogs are standing at the center. No distance too far to bring a dreamed mating on a village road on it’s way. And when strangers upset – no matter!

No event hall is too drab and uncomfortable to present their dogs at shows. Every breeder dreams of having the most beautiful dog. These beauty contests seem bizarre to many viewers, though exhibiter as Jana, Thomas or Alina from Poland are following an internationally recognized rule canon. At the huge World Dog Show Alina fights passionately for victory and confesses: It’s hard to live without.
