The woman in the pictures above is my dear friend Uli Ledeboer, she is crazy about hairless dogs and she was a pioneer in Spain more than twenty years ago. She imported a few dogs from very well know lines like Razzmatazz or Bloomsbury. Can you imagine those singular creatures in the catalan little town of Torelló? In those days Spanish people had a peculiar concept about owning a dog. Most of them considered animals to be a simple tool for guarding the house or working. In the left picture she holds Bloomsbury Kaardi and Bloomsbury Honey Pie.

One of her best friends is Mr. Joachim Weinberg, a very famous judge and former breeder of Chinese cresteds. If you have the opportunity, read his book Alle maine Hunde und ein bisschen mehr edited by Books on Demand Gmbh. There is only a German edition but it is full of anecdotes and curious pictures. You can purchase via Amazon.
