About Diskatia Cockers
The first Cocker Spaniel came to my home
in the autumn 1998. It was black bitch called Anja (Ch Anabela Anja). With Anja starting my companionship with this lovely breed, first shows, first achievements… She really made me realize the multiple qualities of the Cocker Spaniel. Anja is a typical representer of the breed with so ’cockery’ temperament and she became National Champion. But Anja is not my foundation bitch, so you cannot see her name in the pedigrees of Diskatia Cockers.
After four years, in 2002, I have found very exciting litter in Rijani’s kennel (ow: Dragan Ristic) by Int Ch Charbonnel Glenmartin out of Int Ch Instinct Life of Black Mirage. At that time these dogs were some of my favorites. I’ve had the opportunity to choose puppy and my choice was black puppy bitch - Ziggy (Ch Comancha Coquette Rijani’s), who will become my foundation bitch. Ziggy was lovely cocker, bitch of excellent type and temperament with many famous english bloodlines in her pedigree. She liked shows and became Junior Champion and National Champion, with respectable merits at the shows under judging of breed specialists.
Kennel is officially registered in january 2003. under the affix Diskatia. This name came from very special word to me, which is the secret to other people :).
In the same year, Ziggy whelped the first Diskatia litter by Ch Charbonnel Star Wars (Imp UK). From this litter I kept a black bitch – Ginger (Ch Diskatia Nectarine). Ginger was everything for me, my first Diskatia cocker, my big love and pride, kind and loyal friend, so beutiful, clever and noble girl. She didn’t like the shows so much, anyway she became Junior Champion and National Champion.
But her litter brother Balto (Int Ch Diskatia Narrator) is very successiful show dog, International and Multinational Champiom, Double BIS Winner, Junior BIS Winner, Multiple Group Winner...
In 2006. Ginger got her only litter by Int Ch Chataway Fox Mulder (Imp UK) and from that combination one black bitch stayed at the kennel, it’s Dunja (Diskatia Nightfall).
Next year (2007.) from Gallinagos kennel (ow: Bobana and Dusko Piljevic) came another black bitch - Poppy (Gallinagos Romance at Diskatia).
These two girls, Dunja and Poppy, living with me at the moment.
