Some stories don't begin with a grand plan.
They begin with a heart, a look, a single decision — with that one dog
who changes your life forever.
And then Dorotka came into our lives. Dorotka was not just “the beginning of a kennel.” She was the beginning of a journey.
A journey where I learned what responsibility, humility, and patience truly mean
and above all, pride.
Not the superficial kind.
But the quiet, everyday pride that grows from work, trust, and love.
Together we went through joys, successes, and also challenges that tested more than just strength.
The idea of creating a kennel was not born out of ambition, but out of respect.
The desire to continue the values that Dorotka represents: health, balanced temperament, excellent working abilities, elegance, and inner strength.
So how did our journey begin?
With shared steps, first training sessions, show rings, moments of doubt, and successes that meant the too much for us.
Together we learned that pride is not about perfection.
It is about the courage to stand up
even when things are difficult.
About the strength to keep moving forward.
About loyalty that cannot be measured by titles.
The name “Always Be Proud” does not mean being the best.
It means being responsible. Honest. Faithful to the values of the breed.
It means breeding with respect, knowledge, and humility.
Our vision is to breed balanced, healthy, and high-quality dogs with the typical appearance, elegance, and character of the breed — strong, yet gentle and devoted.
Dogs their owners can truly be proud of, not only for their achievements, but most of all for who they are.
This is our beginning.
And we are proud of every step that has brought us here.
