When our PAX was 5 years old, we have already been absolutely in love with the breed and we knew that rottweilers would accompany us forever. We started to think of buying a female puppy - a younger companion for PAX's older years, who would give him energy and a will to remain playful. In the beginning, we planned to import a puppy from Germany - we made even a reservation in one of ADRK kennels.  However, it turned out that from the chosen combination only 2 pups were born (a male and a female) and the breeders decided to keep this couple for themselves. We didn't want to wait any longer, especially that we found out about a very interesting expected litter in Poland, but out of foreign parents. The father of the puppies was one of the most titled rottweilers in the world history of the breed - 2 x World Winner '96 & '97 (!!!), Inter- and Multi Champion (Champion of Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands and Luxemburg) - RAGNAR van het Falconsnest - a Belgian star with exclusively German pedigree. We liked RAGNAR even more as we saw him persoanlly at the World Dog Show in Budapest (Hungary) in 1996 and he made huge impression on us there - large, elegant, full of energy. At that show we presented our PAX also in the working class and RAGNAR had a following catalogue number. The mother of the puppies was a female born in France (but also with German pedigree) Polish Champion, French Club Winner - JUMA vom  Raubritter.  We liked not only JUMA, but also her impressive brother Int./Multi Champion JUBEL (sold to Argentina) and famous JUMA's mother - Int./Multi Champion (Champion of France, Poland and Monaco) - FRAIDA vom Loewenstein. All in all, our future puppy was to have great pedigree with ... 13 international champions in it !!! Decision was made.

Puppies out of RAGNAR and JUMA were born on 21st April 1998 under the kennel name "Ankus" - 3 males and 4 females, and among them our NESKA.  We picked her as a 5-week puppy and collected her 2 weeks later.

NESKA - 8 week old

All the names of these puppies were to begin with letter "N" and we were given by a breeder a possibilty to choose a name for our girl.  We decided on NESKA  (like our favourite coffee - Nescafe - equally good and black, but written in Polish with "K" in the middle in order to make the pronounciation easier) - offically in a pedigree - NESKA RAUBRITTER Ankus. 

NESKA was growing into an elegant, harmonious lady. In March 1999 we entered NESKA for her first dog show - in Warsaw - debut in the large competition in the youth class and ... V 1 with Youth Winner and then Best Winner of Breed defeating the best young male. Then other shows - 12 alltogether in the youth class and 11 x V 1 and 1 x V 2 !!! 10 x Youth Winner title, winning the youth class at the PL Club Winner Show 1999 under the ADRK judge Jurgen Wulff and Junior Best in Show at the Speciality Show of Rottweilers and Dobermans in Bydgoszcz. At the age of 12 months NESKA was PL Youth Champion. Her wins were almost beyond our dreams and the number of her wins (especially in coparison to the number of shows  she attended) could be perceived as a record ! NESKA achieved alsmost everything she could in the youth class and at the age of 15 months we presented her for the first time as the youngest competitor in the open class at the National Dog Show in Jelenia Gora under ADRK judge Hans Jurgen Radtke . Despite her childish behaviour on that day (skipping in movement and dragging the leash), NESKA was awarded V 2 and very nice report with words of good prospects for the future. In the same show season (Autumn '99) NESKA has started to achieve her adult show success. She began her way to the championship by winning V 1 + CAC at the International Dog Show in Wroclaw. Moreover, she got her first, the most important - CACIB - certificate for the International Champion (FCI) by winning also V 1, CAC and Best Female title at the International Dog Show in Krakow at the of ... only 17 months (!), defeating number of older and more titled females. The year 1999 was successully sumed up by awarding NESKA  by the Polish Rottweiler Club with  a  title "Winner of the Show Ranking 1999" in the youth category with incredible  advanatge over other bithes (NESKA achieved 1025 points, while the second female around 300).

At the end of September 2000, we decided to have puppies out of NESKA for the first time and we bred her to our Champion PAX Predator. Our choice was well thought over as we perfectly new the adavnatges of PAX as a stud stog  - stabil and self-confident personality and beautiful head type - these were the most important features he passed over his offspring.  Although NESKA was shown only for 2/3 of the show season (in its remaining part she was pregnant), she became V-ce Winner of the Show Ranking 2000 in the adult category.

NESKA with her puppies

The puppies out of PAX and NESKA ("I" Marstal litter) were born on 1 December 2000 - 10 puppies (4 males and 6 females). It was the first litter raised by us, so there was some extra dose of emotions. NESKA turned out to be wonderful mother.  This lively female on everyday, when with the puppies was extremely delicate and careful. In the first days after giving a birth, we just could not encourage her to go just for a short walk.

Since then, NESKA was a mother of 2 more litters - both with top German stud dogs. In the beginning of 2002 we bred her to young MAMBO von der Crossener Ranch (at that time raising star of European  rottweilers; today - one of the famous dogs of the world).  In the "E" Marstal litter 11 promissing puppies were born (3 males and 8 females). In Spring 2003 NESKA was bred to another young male - FANTO vom Kuemmelsee and the result was 6 raised puppies (4 males and 2 females) in the "P" Marstal litter. These both combinations were chosen carefully after long consideration and we are proud of  using young stud dogs that only were beginning their carreer.

NESKA's numerous success are a source of great joy and satisfaction for us. However, in everyday life they are subordinate as the personality of a dog is the most important. NESKA is a full of energy female, with high temparement. At the same time she is very warm, always interested in caress and she asks about it not only us, but people visiting us as well.  It seams to be her  dream to lick our guests, then sit very close to their knees and ask for getting a hug with her special sweet face expression. She also adores when something interesting is going on - then she is fast as a flesh.  When she goes for a walk, she's constantly in a hurry, wanting to go to as many places as possible. NESKA is a very intelligent female and her high temperament was often helpful in training her. At the age of 13 months she accomplished PT-I course ("Companion Dog" - equivalent of German BH) with the "very good" grade. She learns very fast and follows every order looking directly into my eyes. Her good results in traininig and this energetic following orders, resulted in inviting us to the representation of our city - Lodz for the PT (Obedience) Championship in Gdnask in 1999. NESKA was the youngest (16 months old) and prepairing for the shortest time team member (just for 1 month), and inspite of this she scored somewhere in the middle of attendants. He also successufully taken the IPO-I exam. Nevertheless, I believe that NESKA's training results are really very decent. This clever female can also perfectly fit into relations in our 4-footed "gang" - she accepted without any problems a leadership of her daughter INKA in order to avoid unnecessary conflicts. She knew that irrespectively from her position in the hierarchy, she would be loved much the same. Moreover, although she is not a leader, she is a real peace-warden - when she decides that her kids' play is getting to brutal, she simply goes between them and no-one protests.

NESKA, in spite of her 7 years of age, is the same happy and equally energetic dog, often bahaving  even more childish and playful then 3 of her children we kept with us - INKA, ELIOT NESS and PRISKA. That's simply what NESKA is like !

Currently, she is not show any more, but her children (from 3 different combinations) continue her wins. Most titled of them are:
