After establishing several contacts and with a trip to the Euro Dog Show in Bratislava in October 2003, Sandra travelled once again to Slovakia in November 2003 with a mission to import a further two SRHs to the UK.  They are Evar Kaicul at Stormdancer (Evar) and Eny Kaicul at Stormdancer (Imp) (Honey) - both litter siblings came into the UK in May 2004.

2005 - back to Slovakia to find another unrelated male............
and what a find!  Clooney - aka - Luxembourg Champion & Junior Champion Champion Argo od Vitalosa at Stormdancer.
was trained and is shown by Edwin Lenaerts.

Our aim at Stormdancer has always been to try and increase the gene pool of this wonderful breed without popularising it too quickly thereby protecting its health and temperament.  With the help of other SRHP breeders and owners throughout the world, we hope to work together to take this delightful breed forward and the importation of new stock can only be a positive step forward.

General Health
The Slovakian Rough Haired Pointer is monitored and governed by the Kennel Club as a new and rare breed.  As with all new breeds the gene pool is relatively small and it is in this regard that some puppies, unbeknowi to the breeder, may present with a genetic defect, more so than in an established breed where the intitial problems have been weaned out.. 
It is our responsibility, as members of the Kennel Club’s ‘Accredited Breeder Scheme’ that we bring this to your attention, although statistics currently show only a minority defect being less than 2%.
We remain committed to health screening and encourage aall breeders and owners with problems to come forward with the relevant information so as to ensure that these faults do not nknowingly re-enter the gene pool.
As some of these conditions are not noticed until the puppy matures I strongly advise that all breeders endorse the KC Registration (R) Progeny Not Eligable For Registration - until the offspring is at least 2 years of age and the relevant screening schemes have  been carried out and for an overall assessment of temparment /confirmation / potential has been carried out.
 
Current Statistics of Registration November 2009
Of the 305 KC registered puppies tha have been registered with the
Kennel Club in the UK a total of
5 have been reported to have "mouth/ bite problems".
In most cases a veterinary extration of some teeth seems to have resolved
any discomfort issues for these dogs.
Please do watch for any bite problems and do let the Breeder know so they can monitor the issue and work in conjuntion with other breeders with the aim eradicate this problem.
One other puppy  was seen by the breeder to be undershot and homed as a pet and not to be bred from. However, please do bear in mind that by the law of nature not every puppy is going to have a correct scissor bite!
One SRHP grew to have strabismus (cross eyes) which is known to be more common in felines than canines
There has also been 1 reported puppy known to have a skin problem.
Diagnosis and tretment as per web link

It must also be noted that it can take up to 2 years for the coat to develop and some smoother coated puppies can become hairier and some hairy puppies
can shed and become shorter coated. As such the puppy coats can only be guessed at and not guaranteed!
All stock  BVA KC  x-rayed for Hip Dysplacia to date have produced scores ranging between  2/2 (Total 4)  and 14/15 (Total 29) making the current 
breed average an encouraging Total of 9.

There have been no other reported problems but breeders and owners
 are encouraged to share all information of seen faults.
This is should not become a"witch hunt" but a sharing of knowledge
so that we may move forward and strive to eliminate any reported defects.
Breeders should always promote the health and welfare of the breed and should
 be applauded for their openess and honesty when reporting a problem after they have done all the required health screening in order to breed the best
 ............ and that is what we at Stormdancer aspire towards!
