Aprelka was born in kennel Lenel Slovakia belonging to Lenka Hůževková and she is daughter of very succesful parents, Brasletka Mraja and Jeronimo Primus z Bilmy. She comes from litter of 5 very beautiful puppies. One sister lives in Italy, the second one in Czech republick and two sibling ale living in the kennel – both are very succesful on shows. Her brother Agent C. Lenel Slovakia – CH SK, multi: BOB, CACIB, CAC. Ava Alexeievna Lenel Slovakia – CH SK, multi: CAC, CACIB, BOS, Winner of Slovakia 2016

Borzoi generally usually have very nice character, they are calm, friendly and steady, devoted to their master and tolerant to children. Aprelka is merry and playful, but when she is not in the mood and she doesn´t want to be bothered, she just walks away to another room. In one word – aristocrat. She is very self-dependent, especially outdoors, because borzois were breeded to make their own decisions during the hunt. Aprelka sleeps a lot, and than she wants activity, but she does´nt need to walk for many kilometres like some other breeds do. Borzois are sprinters, not endurance runners. They are very inteligent and quick at learning. It is not a breed for anyone, who wants 100% obedience, it is not a german shepard. They cannot deny their hunters heart. Especially, when you have at home also irish seter, it is a recipe for “fun” outside.

With Aprelka I traveled in total 16 countries, Russia, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, France, Hungary, Germany, Slovakia, Austria, Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia, Denmark, England.

  Aprelka passed an excellent Canistherapy exam, which verifies the psychological resistance of the dog, the dog must not show any aggressive reaction to anything, it is excluding. Aprelka was doing great with everything. Canistherapy is the name for the method of positive psychosocial and physiorehabilitational effect on the person, through a specially guided and trained dog.

In 2019, I was lucky enough to participate on a making a Hollywood feature film, directed by Gil Kenan, with the girls Aprelka and Anfisa. The story is a fairy tale from Lapland, the film was shot in various parts of Europe, including the Czech Republic. The director specified a borzoi for the filming, and my girls passed the casting excellent. I also added Aron Sousedik, brother of Fína and three amazing girls from my friend Hanka. The shooting was preceded by several months of training, as the requirement was for 6 borzois to pull the sleigh just like the musher dogs. And I managed to teach our herd. On shooting, it seemed that it was their nature :-)) The borzois had to handle even demanding scenes in the studio, where they had to run with the hunters in a misty forest, with camera on a crane rode above them and the wooden floor moved under the trample of hunters. Aprelka led the whole pack and the group managed everything perfectly. Another challenging scene, with an open fire, my Fina liked very much. Next scene was shot with a neutral background, borzois at full speed, the camera on the crane in front of borzois, above them, aside as well. And another big test for borzois was scanning for animation. Dog was scanned in a dark room, it had to stay 1 m above the ground on the table and was not allowed to move. All around were the stands on each stand were several cameras and flashes in between. As soon as the dog was standing still, the owner left, so the sequence started and all the cameras were shooting at the same time. Aprelka did everything perfect and she was selected for further movement scans. And our amazing group managed everything again. It is not possible to publish any pictures from the shooting the movie yet. The film will be animated for more than a year, so it will hit theaters in 2021. I would like to thank Romana and Jitka for this amazing experience.

It was a great fun and shortly after the filming we got another offer from Czech TV, where played both, Aprel and Fína in a new television miniseries about Barbora and Josef Němec. It was filmed at a beautiful castle in Opočno. The younger character of Božena Němcová will be played by Anna Kameníková, directed by Lenka Wimmerová.
