I got to deerhounds unintentionally. Simply, I saw it once and I was enchanted.
It was so strong, that I decided to give them my love, heart and free time. I founded
breeding station and I decided to breed my own dogs. As such an eager individual hears
at exhibitions and various meetings of similar kind of people, she often hears, that
just one deer, is not just the right thing. I also dreamed about another heary friend.
Then I brought her. I was so cheerful. Now I will live the joy of two playing deers.
And then came disappointment. Candy, (the big one, the first one), and Jany (the small
newcomer) were not the two as I expected. Jany went after Candy and me (who was at hand)
and Candy - unlike me - was escaping. After the first disenchantment of our lady and her
finding, that the little one will stay, Candy started to teach her. So another shock for me.
Instead of attention and care, which one would expect of a future mother, a hard reality started.
Those who have more dogs know, that hierarchy is important for and it is not recommended to interfere.
That was difficult form me. I was watching with great fear like Candy tries to bit Jany's neck
or behead her, to cut her limp or to smash her under ground. I started many times, read to jump
between them and to save my little one. But literature reading and advice of the experienced
adviced NOT INTERVENE.
It is true, that after big fight Jany rested and followed Candy, as if nothing happened.
I thought many times, if it was a good idea to have two dogs at home. I was not sure, whether
I was ready to manage it , to love both in the same way, to oversee the big and smallish fights
and to remain neutral.

And then it happened. Jany was five and a half month old. I experienced the beautiful,
that I had heard of many times, at a daily walk, which didn't go without Candy's teaching.
Jane weht fighting this time and both girls started to follow each other and play. I stayed
there and I very much enjoyed the feeling, two playing deers. I forgot all the doubts and I
knew that I would have to change my visions and what I would like to do many times and that
I would have to leave to my deers and their natural instincts to reward me (what I maybe deserve).
The reward which is in that they welcome me with joy, when I come home, that they are happy about
every joint activity, that they are glad that we are a family. And I believe that I will learn many
years from them, so that I could hope to know them once.
