There are dogs - and there are dogs These "other" dogs not only have the best of looks but win us over completely with their intelligence and personality. Our DIMI certainly is one of those "other" ones ...
DIMI was born at "di Ca'Bastiani" kennel as a result of fusion of our breeding line - in his case predominantly Perm-originated - and selection of prestigious Hungarian lines founded upon famed former ZSRR dogs such as BUJNAK (DOBAR X BERTA), BAGIRA (URS, BARBA, LIMAN - IKK kennel lineage), NEMAN, DIZA, ALTAY, LIRA, DZHON, BURZA, GROZNYJ (Red Star Kennel), ANGARA, OSMAN, LIMBA, CHANGA, KAIRA, TSIKLON, KALIFA, GORIYA, RADA, GRIM, CHARA, IKS, VITA, KAZBEK, DZHILDA, VULKAN, FRANT, DINGA, KUTAS, KARABASH, MARTA, LADA, CHODR (Red Star Kennel), ODA (lines of NURDZHEK, URAN II, URAN I, KARABASH, DEKA, FRANT, LADA, GROZNYJ, ALMA, MURAT II, HANUMA, DZHOY, IGRA, KALIFA, FRANT, KARA, LORMI, KERTA, TAJGA, ORIADA-ORA, YANITA, YUK-BAKSAN, ASTRA, URAN, IGRA, ABREK, BERKUT, ALFA, VEPHIA, ENGA, BENA, KAZBEK, ADA, GROZNYI (Ukhtomskogo Kennel), CHITA, KUCHUM, JUSTA, ABDULLA, BEZARE, BEK, EMMA, CEZAR, NORA, GUYBOY, AZA, GOLF, ERNA) and KURA. In 7^th and 8^th generation DIMI is triple inbred on ALMAZ - grandfather of legendary AYTESH and imported to Poland AZJA Mosk-Kau (also present on maternal side of our FLEX's pedigree) as well as ARA (dam of RISK). ALMAZ's pedigree includes DZHAN, BURYA, GREY, AYNA, GRAD, GRAFINYA, ZHUK, JANA, AYAS, GROZNYI (Shaturskaya Gres Kennel), BIYA, DINA, ABDULLA (Red Star Kennel), DZHABO, KAMECHA, BEK, EMMA, DZHAMAL, ETNA, CHARDASCH, ENGA, CHUCHA.
DIMI is a medium size, particularly massive frame and bone male with dynamic motion and particularly strong action of hind limbs. His head is his hallmark - massive, sculpted and very large with strong stout muzzle and perfectly set, beautifully shaped eyes - which has colouring and shading emphasizing very desirable in the breed expression of a wild, noble creature.
However the most precious characteristic is our DIMI's personality - he is extremely intelligent, well balanced, obedient and completely devoted to his human family which he adores with all his canine soul; while he doesn't tolerate any strangers DIMI would totally melt with delight in presence of young puppies when he can play a nanny - patient, gentle but firm if need to be. Exemplary for the breed DIMI is very territorial and protective of his family and confidently demonstrates this quality on his turf or elsewhere with assertive warnings and - if necessary - aggressive action. To our greatest joy and pleasure DIMI passes all his qualities onto his offspring - both physical as well as personality-wise.
DIMI enchanted us completely - and even being such a great dog, he means to us much more then just that. He became our special friend - just incidentally non-human - who makes by this very circumstance our bond so wondrously magical and strong. In our mind it is a rare privilege to earn such a friendship straddling two species - and be allowed to share our best moments in our lives with DIMI.
