WELCOME to our website:) We are a kennel dedicated to the breeding of Pyrenean Mountain Dog and Catalan sheep dog with the internationally protected name Red Sunset (FCI).

We are honored to introduce you the first litter of Catalan sheep dog  born in Slovakia!

7.7.2025 our "Kača " Padme Alsondelcric gave birth to 9 beautiful puppies. The proud father is none other than Mr. Amazing - Hendrix De Pastors De Blo. Some puppies from this beautiful litter are still looking for their loving families.

We are a kennel with internationally protected name Red Sunset. (FCI).

 Why Pyrenean Mountain Dog and Catalan sheep dog?

A little child´s desire for a huge white
shepherd dog came true, although in adulthood. 
My husband made my dream come true on my birthday when he "offered" me a
small  Pyrenean "ball". That furry "ball"
was called Einstein and he was not so small in a long time :-) A couple of years
have passed since then.

 Over time, a small Dutchwoman named Niki was added to our family and after that, so was her father - American teddy bear Boogie. Pyrenean mountain dogs  have perhaps always been a part of us . Our pack doesn´t  only consist  of them but in great measure, of two Catalan sheep dogs - Hendrix & Kača.

Indeed, Pyrenean mountain dog -  this old French breed indefinitely stole not only mine, but also other family member´s hearts with his nice, uncomplicated and good-hearted nature on one hand, and with his stubbornness,kindness or keen commitment, good looks as well as good heart, incredible acts,which perhaps only they can perform..on the other hand...And the Catalans..The cheerful little gangsters from the other side of the Pyrenees fit perfectly into the pack :) With their energy, intelligence, and wonderful cheerful nature, they perfectly fulfilled my expectations of this original Spanish breed.

What about Catalans? After the death of our two little old dogs, Sunny the Yorkshire Terrier and Fleur the Chihuahua, I felt that something was missing among the Pyrenees...a little energetic "sting." So I started thinking about what breed would suit us. The smaller breeds of the Pyrenees include the Catalan Sheep dog  and the Pyrenean Shepherd... the choice was clear almost immediately, and the search for a suitable puppy began. And then he was born... Hendrix De Pastors de Blo became the first Catalan sheepdog  imported to Slovakia.

 Pyrenean Mountain Dog is a breed, which has been used to protect herds against wolves and bears. Each Pyrenean mountain dog is proud and majestic guardian whether he protects the herd or his family. These amazing dogs went down in history as shepherds and guardians of large herds, smugglers, postmen, actors !:), they lived on farms but also on courts. They are all-round dogs...this is especially true when a muddy ball comes in and falls on a sofa after exhausting work when making a new trench :-)

 Of course, our Red Sunset team consists not only of our dogs, four cats, and axolts but also of human
members of our family. All of this was a childish dream of Adriana Valentovičová. It came true thanks to my husband Marián, who let me talk him into another furry family member and further long way...and last but not least,
tirelessly and in their own way, our two children Richard and Rebeka help us with our furry friends :-)

Current topic: puppies in light of recent events...As breeders, we encounter different people, questions and opinions. I would therefore like to shed some light on the issue for those who are not entirely clear on what quality puppy breeding entails.Since breeding Pyrenean Mountain Dogs and now also Catalans (with pedigrees, of course) is my great passion, our family basically subordinates our entire life and schedule to it. No, I don't breed "them" for bussiness, as someone recently asked me. In almost  17 years of my "breeding career," 37 puppies have been born and raised in our kennel. Any person with average math skills can calculate that both we and the dogs would have to starve to death if breeding were to feed us. 

This brings me to question number1. The price of a puppy.  Many people see huge profits behind this... maybe in some puppy mill, but if I have to speak for myself, after deducting costs  such as matingand travel to the stud dog (since we don't mate "over the fence"), veterinary care, the cost of food and vitamins for the future mother, the cost offood for the puppies, deworming, vaccinations, etc... I am left with 0.00 euros after the puppies.  Basically, you could say that I'm really in the red, since, as I already wrote, this is my huge hobby...but!  I don't count the time spent with your puppy, which means that I don't go to work for 2 months because I'm with the puppies 24/7. 

For the first 2-3 weeks, I sleep, or rather don't sleep, next to the puppy box on a mattress and make surethat everyone gets fed and that their mother doesn't accidentally roll over them... yes, there's that too Your puppy... Since I'm not really sleeping, the lack of sleep is affecting my physical condition...The washing machine is running non-stop, disinfectants are running out by the liter, because the puppies are raised in our house and hygiene is a must... Yes, I could lock them up with their mother somewhere in a pen with a single blanket, but that's not my style. Sure, I'd save a lot of money and I'd get some sleepand I wouldn't care... except that I do care. When the little ones need to be fed, I rely on quality brands of nutrition and feed, and meat, of course. I give them the basics so that you can then "build" them up in good health.  Their mother also needs proper nutrition before and after giving birth and breastfeeding, as she feeds her puppies with her milk, but these costs are covered by me.Don't expect us to feed them bread rolls in milk or dry food from the supermarket.

I don´t breed "organic eco puppies", so I deworm them properly, yes, that's necessary, and not just once, and they will also be properly vaccinated and, according to the law, microchipped. Each puppy has a pedigree -  certificate of origin, no, it is not a vaccination certificate, but a pedigree issued by the Slovak Union of Cynological Clubs.

Pedigree? There are people who claim that it is just useless paper or a formality... This claim is invented by breeders who only want to sell puppies from dubious connections as best they can.

 

Behind every pedigree lie generations, the history of a particular breed, and the effort and love of the breeder. A pedigree is not a whim, a pedigree is not a luxury, it is the genetic, functional trace of a dog.

 

It is a guarantee that behind every litter there is ethical work, strict selection, and a commitment to the future of the breed. It also confirms that the dog's breed characteristics, morphology, and health are preserved. The dog is purebred, of verifiable origin.

 

 As a bussinesswoman in our country, I am used to people not appreciating the work and costs of others; the important thing is that they buy "cheaply." They often buy cheaply but pay dearly... Please realize that there is no such thing as a purebred dog without a pedigree, because without a pedigree, it cannot prove its ancestry, so the grandmother could easily have been, say, a Chuvach, and the grandfather (in the worst case) a brave poodle. Every registered individual must have their joints and patella examined, and in order to meet the conditions for registration, they must be healthy and have participated in several shows. I do not include these expenses in the price either....

Many interested parties also ask whether these dogs are noisy and whether they dig. My answer is clear and does not require many words. YES! They dig large holes, they can tear flowers they don't like to pieces, and you may never be able to put your rockery back together again... But! This is a real threat with most dogs, so please consider whether a perfect English lawn or stunning flower beds that all your neighbors envy are essential to you, or whether you can survive any damage caused by puppies or adult dogs in good health :) They can also bark quite loudly, but it is important to remember that these dogs have amazing hearing, so they usually start barking when they hear something. Like all dogs, whether small or large, they need high-quality food, which also costs money, as a "hand full" of kibble is not enough, unlike for a Chihuahua.

Yes, they are friendly to children, and we also raise themwith children , but it is necessary for the child to be taught to love dogs, because even though it is a huge dog, it feels everything just like any other small or medium-sized dog. So if you have a little brute at home who hurts dogs and doesn't know what to do with himself, the best breed is a stuffed animal.
