Borsó and Monsoon met last summer. They were immediately inseparable from the first moment. Their puppies were born a week ago, and since then, they have been developing well. Their personalities are starting to take shape, and it’s becoming clear who looks more like which parent. The first period of time Melinda Leidgeb, Borsó’s handler,

Borsó, one of our foundation’s young mother dogs, gave birth to her first litter. The 4 little miracles—3 boys and a girl—were born on the 14th of January, healthy and strong. Although we didn’t know how many puppies we were expecting based on the ultrasound, Borsó’s owner, Melinda Leidgeb, had a dream the night before

The three female and two male puppies born on January 15th are healthy, along with their mother. The birth process began with difficulty, as the first puppy was breech and also had a higher-than-average weight, more than half a kilogram. We waited four hours for her arrival, but luckily her siblings followed quickly and easily.

At Christmas and New Year, we traditionally eat more than usual, often enjoying foods that differ from our everyday meals. With festive dishes, guests, and family gatherings, there’s a lot more food around—and it’s hard to resist trying everything. But what about your dog? It’s important to make sure they stay healthy during this time

Our guide dog has fully recovered after spinal surgery and is once again guiding her visually impaired owner. While Dolly was recovering, Írisz walked with a white cane, though she had some trouble using it. Now the feeling has returned that they walk together as if Írisz can see, because Dolly avoids everything and takes

We held a sensitisation session at the 112 Call Centre in Miskolc. We were pleased to accept the invitation, as we consider it of utmost importance that the staff of the emergency call centre should be better informed about visually impaired people. We have sensitised around 60 call centre operators on two occasions and, in

In the snow and cold our four-legged friends can easily catch a cold, which is why we say “It’s dog cold, but there are no cold dogs”. At least it is better if they do not get a cold. Snowfall brings many beauties to the lives of dog owners but there are two sides of

Our dog-loving friends want to contribute to the community, which is why they have joined a special initiative. The goal of the program of the European Union is to develop a method to support the acceptance and inclusion of people with disabilities. We are proud that our friends with guide dogs are part of the

It often happens that in our foundation’s breeding program, puppies are not born with their owners, but with our litter-raising volunteers, because we can provide the most ideal conditions for them and the mother dog in this way. This was also the case with Azúr and the „H” litter. The puppies have been raised by
