In 1991 our first Golden
came into our lives. Laburnum's Limelight (Famke) was a true Golden with
the most lovely and biddable character. Unfortunately we couldn't breed
from her, but we enjoyed her company for 11,5 years.
In 2000 our second Golden came to live with us. Pearl Drift Primrose
Beauty (Meike) is a very sweet girl, always ready to have fun.
She became a mother for 3 times and also a grandmother and
greatgrandmother. She passed away on 26/10/2009.
Our sweetest girl will be very much missed. We are thankfull for all she
gave us.
Out of her first litter to
VCH Gunhills Over The Moon we kept our String of Pearls Sunsprite Esmay
(Esmay).
Esmay was shown several times and won one RCAC, RCACIB.
In 2005 she had her first litter to CH Dewmist Satellite.
String of Pearls Butterfly Kisses (Vlinder) stayed at home.
Esmay now is retired and a lovely auntie to all puppies born at here
String of Pearls.
String of Pearls Butterfly Kisses was shown often as a youngster. She
won her class several times and was placed a lot.
Out of Meike's second
litter to Multi CH, Trialer Rossmix No Regrets we kept
JCH String of Pearls Cinderella (Madelief) and her brother String of
Pearls Crackerjack (Mats).
Mats is our big teddybear, following us everywhere we go.
Madelief was shown many times. Highlight was her winning the Luxembourg
Junior Champion-title and BOS.
Their sister String of Pearls Charming Charley (Charley, owner Chantal
Hamett) won a RCAC.
In 2006 Madelief had a litter to Ashbury Angel Heart. We kept our String
of Pearls Fleurette (Julia) who won her two JCAC's in 2008.
Also brother String of Pearls Fourwheeldrive (Merlijn, owner Brigit
Vlaar) and sister String of Pearls Frou-Frou (Yasmin, owner Paul Brienen)
are doing very well at shows. Merlijn won his class several times and
has a RJCAC and Yasmin was 3 BPIS in 2007.
In May 2008 we bred a litter from JCH String of Pearls Cinderella & Multi CH Moondust
Masterpiece.
A lovely litter and although we did not plan to keep a puppy, a little
girl just had to stay.
In 2010 String of Pearls Crepes Suzette (Livia) is not that little
anymore.
Our sweet, big girl is not shown that much, while it takes some time for
her to mature.
In February 2011 she had her first litter by JCH Majik Truth Or Dare.
We were very happy with these beautiful, sweet puppies. Therefore we
decided to keep both a boy and a girl.
String of Pearls Jamaican Me Crazy (Bravo) went to live with Annelien
and her dogs
and String of Pearls Oh My Apple Pie (Lenthe) stayed with her mum,
grandmum and family.
We look forward to see what the future will bring for these naughty
puppies.
May 2009 the first litter
from our String of Pearls Fleurette was born.
Again we chose Multi CH Moondust Masterpiece to be the sire.
One girl spoke to our heart immediately, because she looks like the
spitting image of her grandma JCH String of Pearls Cinderella.
String of Pearls Mille Fleurs (Felicia) is a very happy girl, always
ready to have fun.
In June 2011 String of Pearls Fleurette got her 2nd litter. Daddy to
this litter is Dewmist Rainbow Warrior.
Son String of Pearls Be My Guest (Beer) and daugther String of Pearls
Blondelicious (Doutzen) stayed.
We are looking forward to see how this puppies will develop.
In 2010 we lost both our
old cat Lotje (17 years) and our sweet boy Floyd (Pearl Drift Easy
Breeze, 8 years)
in 2 weeks time. These two dear sweethearts will be missed dearly.
December 2011 a sweet girl
(pointer/settermix) from Turkey came to stay with us. Amy blends in with
the Golden family quite well
and is the best of friends with the younger dogs. Amy is a rescued dog
from Turkey, she was used as broodbitch at a puppymill.
Allthough we don't know much about her history, we know that she had a
very hard time.
Now she lives the life of a little princess and we hope that one day,
she will be and feel as spoiled as all our Goldens are.
On the website of
Turkish
Strays, you can read more about rescued dogs.
March 2012 was very
special for us. Annelien got the opportunity to go to Norway and collect
her little boy Jako's Musthave (Valentijn).
We are so happy and proud! Dear Jarle and Vibeke, thank you so much for
this little boy! He is a dream come true!
Today (April 2012) we are
the proud owners of 17 sweet Goldens & our precious Turkish Mix.
Annelien and Hugo & their dogs moved into their own home close to us.
We hope to enjoy the company of Jolene (10 yrs), Caitlin (9 yrs). Esmay
(8 yrs), Jake (8 yrs), Lindsey (7 yrs), Mats (7 yrs), Madelief (7 yrs),
Vlinder (5 yrs), Lieke (5 yrs), Julia (4 yrs), Livia (3 yrs), Felicia (2
yrs) Bravo & Lenthe (1 yr), Beer & Doutzen (10 months),
Valentijn (2 months) and
our precious Turkish Amy
for many, many years to come..
We live in Andijk, a small
village close to the IJsselmeer, where our Goldens can run and swim.
We only breed Goldens according to the rules of the Dutch Golden
Retriever Club (GRCN).
All breedingdogs have valid hipscores, elbowscores and eye-certificates.
Our dogs went to shows and gained nice results. They are all trained in
obedience and in the field.
But the most important: they have very sweet characters.
Our dogs live with us in our livingroom. The puppies also grow up in our
livingroom, where they meet our adult dogs, cats and rabbits.
Beside breeding dogs as a
hobby, we made animals our profession.
Elisa is a certified veterinary nurse and Annelien has her own
dogschool.
Loot at her website www.kissadog.nl
to find out more about her positive way of dogtraining.
If you have questions
about our dogs or expected litters, feel free to contact us by phone or
e-mail.
Kind regards, Christina
and Elisa Pleit
Thank you Margriet for this picture of our
precious Floyd.
