Shilaa came to our home in the begining of 1991. Her mother Thika was imported to Croatia from Rome with the aid of Mr. Tibor Lovrenčić (…who was a great help to us later on) by Mrs. Uraić, who’s fault it is that we started to take interest in these beautiful dogs. Thika’s father was Asali of Msasani, a beautiful and strong dog, imported from Tanzania. As most good things in life, this also happened by chance. As soon as we saw Shila’s mother we fell in love with this beautiful breed of dogs. We were fortunate enough to get a top of the breed quality dog with unique genetic lines. I hope that the fortune stayed with us so we did not spoil the blood line that we had.

It has been over a year since she is gone and I still from time to time have this feeling that she sits next to me. And in every of her daughters or sons I’m certain I can still see her warm look and the royal posture of her.
