Ever since I remember I have just loved dogs. It has always been my dream to have some dogs of my own. When I was 10 years old I got my first dog. She was an English Cocker Spaniel, an orange roan. She was called Ginger. Ginger started my interest in this breed of dogs. I would have loved it if Ginger had had some puppies. My parents didn’t want any more dogs though. Unfortunately Ginger didn’t get very old. During the winter of 1996, a few days before her tenth birthday, she died from the effect of a tumor. Of course I missed her loads and I was determined to get an other Cocker Spaniel as soon as I had the chance. In 2001 I finally bought my own Cocker, Luna. She is a Chocolate bitch. Her pedigree name is Heluna van de Dollardhoeve and she came from the 'van de Dollardhoeve' kennel of Ute Rotgers. Luna would later become the foundation bitch of my own kennel. At the moment I have a daughter and a granddaughter and a greatgranddaughter of Luna at home. In 2002 I made an application for a name for my kennel at the "Raad van Beheer", The Dutch Kennel Club and I followed the nescessary "KK1" and "KK2" courses. A year later I bred my first litter. It was just as I had imagined, a fabulous experience. I couldn’t wait to breed my second litter! In 2005 this became true. The second litter was there. All of my Cockers are running round free and enjoy their lifes inside my house. At night they all sleep on the settee, except Luna. She always sleeps at the foot-end of my bed. In short, I consider my Cockers all members of my family! I love all colours in cockers, but I have developed a special interest in the liverroan and the orangeroan colour aswell as the solid chocolate colour. These are rare colours here in Holland. My goal is to produce healthy and sound cockers with great temperaments. I hope you enjoy my website and please leave a message in my guestbook!
