It is indeed a rewarding experience when passion gets translated into career. Very few people, however, find an opportunity to realise their dreams but when that happens it literally strikes gold. This is the story of Yashodhra Hemchandra, her love for animals and how this passion helped her become one of the most reputed breeders of pedigree dogs in the country.
Yashodhra Hemchandra is the owner of the renowned Yashbans Kennels. Formed in 1980, this kennel became popular with the city’s canine lovers when it won a couple of coveted awards. Trained vet, animal-behaviour therapist and professional dog groomer, she personally breeds and grooms various kinds of dogs, such as, Dobermans, German Shepherds, Boxers, Rottweilers, Golden Retrievers, St Bernards, Chows, Miniature Pinschers, Siberian Huskies and Pugs. However, she is not alone. Two of her daughters, Rishya and Radhiya, assist her with equal expertise. Says the proud mother, “I am sure they will take it to the next level of excellence.”
Yashbans enjoys the patronage of dog loves from all over the city as well as abroad. And the high-pedigree pups are not the only ones that draw clients. The mother-daughters team also runs a school where they pass on pet-grooming skills—hair clipping and cutting for show dogs; oil massage and shampoo; hair-care treatments and hair colouring; tick and flea control; ear cleaning and nail clipping; dental care; aromatherapy; skin conditioning and skin care—with utmost care.
What’s more, their kennel also offers pet-shelter services for clients who have to leave their pooches behind when they are away on work or vacation. Each pet shelter resembles a custom-made retreat. Large rooms fitted with AC or fans, cane beds or soft mattresses, purified drinking water, wholesome veg and non-veg food are some of the facilities offered here. All enclosures are meshed to provide safety and privacy to the animals. Besides these, there are vets who take care of any medical emergency. And if that were not enough, regular updates in the form of video clips and photographs of the pets are sent to the owners for ultimate satisfaction.
