FERN

The 26th of July 2011 was a wonderful day when we visited Anna-Victoria Schmidt in Duisburg and collected our Flatcoated Retriever puppy Fern vom Wildfðrstersee.
Fern was born on the 3th of April 2011, she has 3 brothers and two sisters, her parents are “ Jette” (MultiCh/MultiWinner Starworkers How do You do) and “Jamie” (SE U(U)CH Caci’s Hey-Good-Lookin).
Behind Fern is a mixture of lines: Almanza, Moonstruck, Branchalwood which of course includes the Shargleam and Kenjo also Starworkers and Black Amanda’s

FLORA

In September 2005 we welcomed Flora (her full name is Brokenwheel McAkira) into our family. Her date of birth is the 7th of May 2005, she has grown up as a most lovely Deerhound.

Brokenwheel McAkira's father is FIN CH Kerslake Achilleus, her mother is Vanessa von der Oelmühle. Vanessa's present titles are: INT&FIN&S CH, FIN JW-03, FIN W-04-05-06, Nordic W-05, VDH CH-06, Leipzig Sg-06

PETER CHIEN

During one of our visits to the Netherlands we met a cute little Jack Russell Terrier who needed a home. We thought he would be nice company and good fun so we decided to take him with us. His date of birth is the 14th of October 2002. Peter Chien is very good friends with Flora and Fern but unfortunately he chases our cats.

QUEENIE

In September 2002 David visited the kennel from Black Amandas in Denmark where he saw a litter from the most gorgeous Flatcoated Retriever puppies. It was not difficult making a choice: Queenie came in our life.

Black Amandas Queen of Denmark's father was DKCH VDHCH DCHKLB SCH INTCH Black Amandas Count On Me, her mother was VDHCH DCHKLB Almanza Wheel Of Fortune and she was bred by Anette Nielsen.

Queenie was our joy and pleasure; she was as affectionate as a Flatcoat can be. We were very said when Queenie died on the 30th of May 2010 of Leukaemia. We all miss her a lot.

SKYE

Scottish Deerhound Elgol Ellishader Eyre of Dirty Mind was beautifully bred on Kilbourne and Dirty Mind lines by Koert Hesseling in the Netherlands.

Her father was famous Ned. & Int. Ch. Kilbourne Quebee and her mother was Ch. Terrific Tender of Dirty Mind.

Skye died on the 19th of August 2005, she was very special to us and leaves a big gap. She was only seven years old and died of a kidney problem.
