Recently, two of Jimmy’s sons had their official x-ray examination done! I am so proud to announce that they are perfect inside and out.
Go For It! Zip Zap ‘Drops’ (Jimmy x Aiky 2021) – HD A, ED 0/0, OCD free, spondylosis free
Good Boy Jimmy Zip Zap ‘Gauss’ (Jimmy x Aiky 2021) – HD A, ED 0/0, OCD free, LTV 0
This week started with a spontaneous trip for us! Four different countries, 1300km, 13 hours behind the wheel… and we’re here, in Florence (Italy), to meet Jimmy’s cute fianceé after months of waiting ♥
Keep your fingers crossed for a bunch of precious puppies around the half of April 2023. We expect easy-going, versatile sport dogs with high drive, huge will-to-please, nice structure and excellent physical possibilities. Both parents excel in dogfrisbee and their relatives are also doing really good in it. Jimmy is a thinker and a jumper, he also has a great execution. Abbey is a fast dog who catches every disc, no matter how poorly thrown, not such a high flyer as Jimmy though. I believe Jimmy and Abbey will make a perfect match. They are high driven dogs which excel in sport but at the same moment sooo lovely and sweet in everyday life. They are a perfect combination of high drive, amazing physical possibilities and being easy to live with. Jim is a very stable dog with a great working ability, Abbey is also outstanding at sports and brings even more power to this match.
Meeting Abbey in real life was amazing. She is even more beautiful than on the pictures and I love her temperament. Always 100% focused on her owner, listening to the every word and ignoring other people, dogs, animals… Unproblematic in a big city. She is quiet, settles down easily and absolutely loves to rub her back in the grass. On a frisbee training she showed herself as a damn fast girl with a great execution. Not a type of a jumper on a distance. She beautifully reads and waits for every disc and has a nice, fast retrieve. This speed and power is something that I think will really compliment Jimmy in this match!
They both loved each other to bits when they met and quickly became best friends for running, tugging and playing. I also admire how similar in structure and movement they are in reality! In terms of the character – so much alike yet so different at the same time. Both loving to work, cuddle, both rather quiet and stable, but Abbey is one clever, introvertic girl and Jimmy on the other hand is that sporty handsome guy, who does a lot of funny things.
So… let’s make it official! Let’s all have our fingers crossed for those little stars in two months!
All puppies are probably spoken for.
Abbey & Jimmy

I am so excited that I got to meet up with our miniJimmies and more than impressed how similar they are to their father! On 30th December we went for a walk with Drops (GO FOR IT! Zip Zap // Jimmy x Aiky 2021). He grew up into a handsome young man! He grew out his father a bit and it seems that nothing will stop him from being a dogfrisbee star just like Jim;)
He’s a wonderful, driven, very athletic boy. Has wonderful manners in everyday life, though his owners said that he still has some problems with on/off if there are other dogs training next to him. We did a quick frisbee training and it turns out that his jumping technique is outstanding! He also learned flips in like two or three repetitions, he makes them so beautifully! Awesome dog when it comes to tracking the disc, very successful too. Not a sprinter when it comes to retrieval, just as his father was hahah
Then on 2nd January Tomasz and his dogs visited Cracow and it happened that I took care of them when Tomasz went to work. I was very very impressed how well Gauss (GOOD BOY JIMMY Zip Zap // Jimmy x Aiky 2021) is behaving in such a herd. Communicating really well, avoiding conflicts. Of course they quickly became besties with Jimmy – Gauss is definitely his fav son hahaha. A great hugger, always ready to come for some belly rubs. He is also a 1:1 copy of Jim but in tricolor and 2cm smaller! My ideal boy <3 I tried to convince Tomasz to let Gauss stay with me forever but well… I couldn’t. Another wonderful, driven and athletic boy. Master of on/off in every situation. New dogs, people and house didn’t matter for him, he just layed next to me and ignored other dogs and that’s it! I let him catch a disc a few times and I can say that he also has a great technique and amazing physical possibilities. Those fast turns! I am really curious what will the future bring to him!
