Casariae'hov (FCI)
### About the Kennel Casariae'hov has been breeding Hovawart dogs in the Warsaw region of mazowieckie since 2010. The owner completed postgraduate studies in dog breeding and behaviour at the Warsaw University of Life Sciences (SGGW) and has been a member of the Hovawart Club RZV since 2018. She also serves on the board of the Polish Hovawart Club (2022–2026) and holds the role of ZKwP kynological assistant (specialisation 2C), a qualification recognised by the Polish Kennel Club. In 2025 she received the ZKwP Bronze Honour Badge for her contribution to the breed. The kennel is a domestic breeding establishment – dogs live inside the home, litters are whelped and raised in living spaces, and puppies are socialised early. Matings are planned with an emphasis on health, stable psychology, and harmonious movement. Puppies undergo tests at seven weeks of age and receive regular veterinary supervision until they leave for their new homes at eight to nine weeks. ### Breeding Dogs **EINAR vom Fährhof** – This young male, born in July 2024, is the son of MANITA Casariae'hov and already holds the titles of Polish Champion and Junior Polish Champion. At the International Show in Uniejów (May 2026) he won the CWC certificate, was judged Best Adult Dog, and earned a CACIB certificate towards the International Beauty Champion title. He also took top honours at the National Show the following day. In working trials, he passed the Polish Championship in Sport Tracking (FCI IGP-FH) with 83 points (good grade) and has competed in sport tracking and HDR Base events. His show success and training results indicate a dog with both conformation and working drive – a strong start for a sire. **MANITA Casariae'hov** – The kennel's dam, born in April 2017, has passed BH (a basic obedience or temperament test) and PT1 (a tracking or working test). Although she has no show titles, her working test results confirm she has a balanced temperament and cooperates well with people – qualities she passes to her puppies. She is the dam of the current litter (E litter) and of previous litters. **CONOR Casariae'hov** – A retired male born in July 2013. He holds the titles of Polish Champion and Champion of Lithuania, along with a C.I.B. award. He won Winner of Lithuania in 2019. His working tests include BH, IPO1, and IPO2 – a progression of obedience and tracking tests that show trainability and steadiness. Now retired, he represents the kennel's earlier breeding success. **SHIRO Casariae'hov** – A retired male with a very good result in the ZTP (a German breeding suitability test), which evaluates health, temperament, and structure. This test is not common outside Germany and reflects a thorough assessment of breeding quality. **MEDINA Królewska Kraina** – A retired dam with titles including Junior Polish Champion, Polish Champion, and VET Polish Champion, as well as Winner of Club. She passed the OB2 test (a level of obedience or tracking). Her show titles demonstrate that she excelled in conformation before becoming a foundation dam. ### Health and Testing The kennel carries out health tests that go beyond basic vaccinations. Puppies are vaccinated and dewormed before leaving, and each receives a health booklet and ZKwP metric. The following terms appear in the dogs' records: - **CWC certificate** – awarded at national shows to top-graded dogs; a required step toward a Polish champion title. - **CACIB** – an international certificate toward the FCI International Beauty Champion title, awarded at FCI shows. - **BH** – a basic test of obedience or temperament, passed by several dogs. - **PT1 and IPO1/IPO2** – progressive tracking and obedience tests that show working ability. - **OB2** – a level of obedience or tracking training. - **ZTP** – a German breeding suitability test covering health, temperament, and structure, with a result of 'very good' for SHIRO. No hip or elbow X-ray results (dysplasia) or eye examinations are listed in the available records for the current breeding dogs. ### Litters and Puppies The kennel plans its litters carefully, focusing on health, psychology, and movement. Puppies are raised in the home, receive early socialisation, and gain first experiences on a playground. At seven weeks they undergo tests, and they leave for their new homes at eight to nine weeks of age. Past litters include the E litter (born July 2024, sire EINAR vom Fährhof, dam MANITA Casariae'hov), the I litter (2021), the M litter (2017), the S litter (2015), and the C litter (2013). At present, no upcoming litters are listed. ### What Buyers Receive / Visits Each puppy leaves with vaccinations, deworming, a health booklet, a ZKwP metric, and a starter pack. The kennel invites interested buyers to get in touch and arrange a visit to the breeding premises.
