Nadur Prince was born in Nadur on January 14th 1999. When Nadur Prince was one, Rinus Biemans, a Dutch dog-enthusiast, arrived in Malta looking for a good hunter. His friends told him to cross over to Gozo. He went up to Nadur and found the dog he was looking for. Nadur Prince, registered within the Malta Kennel Club under the Tal-Wardija affix, is now living in Holland with Anneke and Rinus Biemans. The Kelb tal-Fenek is Malta's national hound. June29th.com met Nadur Prince and this is what he told us...
Hello!
My name is Nadur and I was born in Gozo in 1999. I come from a wonderful
town named Nadur. That's why people call me Nadur!
When
I turned one, Rinus (my owner) came to Malta looking for a dog to catch
rabbits at his nursery. I was already a good hunter in Gozo so I was
quite interested in moving north. It's north, isn't it?! When I looked
at Rinus with my big brown eyes, he fell in love with me and took me
home with him, together with a little puppy (later I got to know the
puppy’s name was Sabih, which in Maltese means nice).
Since
that time I live a happy life here in Teteringen (a nice town in
Holland). I hunt as
much as I can and like to run around. I have caught many rabbits, hare
and so many mice! Rinus
and his wife Anneke describe me as a quiet, sweet dog with a very
affectionate friendly character. I love Rinus and Anneke very much!
Since
Rinus and Anneke thought I was a beautiful dog as actually I am (even
if I do say so myself!) they took me to a show in
Arnhem. That was in 2002. I entered a big ring, surrounded by many
people. I did just as Rinus told me to do. After a little walk in the
ring a man came over to Rinus and shook his hand. I went back home with
a few trophies. I heard them saying I won an excellent CAC, CACIB and
the Best of Breed Award. I did not enjoy it that much as there wasn’t
a single rabbit to catch in the ring. It was a bit boring. Luckily,
Rinus and Anneke understood that I am not so fond on running shows. Now,
I only participate in such shows when there are my friends from the Tal-Wardija
family. That's what I call a noisy gathering!
This summer I became father of four puppies from the most beautiful dog I ever met, named Hunter. Hunter is a member of the Tal-Wardija family as well and owned by Henk vd Vorst in Holland.
Here are some of my details for anyone interested!
