I'm Raili and I want to tell you a few words about our kennel, Ridon Hennets history. 
Like all children, I myself, was a very big dog lover. I was lucky because I do not remember my childhood without a dog. Big or small, flat or hairy, we almost always had a friend at home.
In 1980, my parents decided that they would move to the apartment instead of a house and we could not have one there. I remember that this time was very difficult for me ;).
Over the years, I managed to persuade my parents that the child could just die without a dog ... Luckily my father was on my side with it and my mother also did not have anything against it. So that is when we got our first pure breed Bingo. Since a big dog was not a good idea in the apartment, we decided to get a small spitz. . This little white friend was with us for almost 15 years.
My very own first pure breed dog was a male Tibetan Mastiff Honku. Unfortunately someone very bad took Honku and our other older dog Reinhard from us and despite the long searches, they were never found.
In 2002, we already had more than one dog at home and gradually my "fear" for female dogs and puppies disappeared. My conviction was that no child should be born without a surname,  so we created the kennel, Ridon Hennet. I have always liked to teach tricks to dogs, and with the German Shepherd there was a great way to compete in different competitions. To prove that the Tibetan mastiff can be taught Obedience too, our Angel had a first Obidience Beginners result.
And finally, this marvellous Bernese Mountain Dog :). I saw them a few years earlier on a train, traveling from Germany to Switzerland. At that time I thought they were mixed-breed dogs. The suspicion arose when I noticed that there was too many in different counties and they were too similar to be "descendants of an unknown soldier".
Then in Estonia met Koidu Liivla, who sold me my first magnificent Manni. Being pretty average in her appearance, she was able to select the best genes from her gentelman and pass them on to their children. When planning my litters I always try to do a thorough preliminary work long before the mating. Still, as with living things, it is not always possible to foresee all the nuances in the best intentions. Therefore, nature in its glory always leaves space for a surprise. The task of the human being is to do everything in their power to make negative emotions smaller than the positive ones. In addition to the regularity of genetics and modern science, I always leave space for the heart.
As the fox told Little Prince:
...... only with your heart you can see correctly, the most important thing is invisible to your eye .....
