How it al started
Me (Debby) have been in dogs all my live, we always had dogs at home, and my aunt got a few hunting dogs, she did hunting practices and I as a child would go alone with her, When she bought Lana (her first Large Munsterlande bitch) I also started to go with her to the shows. It didn't take long before I was showing Lana. My aunt had a good friend who was breeding Irish setters, she learned me how to be a better handler. I started also showing Irish setters and soon after I showed all kind of breeds.In 1990 my aunt got her first litter, only one puppie was born, but oh boy was he gourgeous, never seen any Large Munsterlander like that again. Offcourse my aunt kept him and I started out showing him in conformation, obedience and agility. In 1994 I finnaly was old enough to get my own dog, I got a Large Munsterlander, a daughter of my aunts Multi Ch.Orry Van't Elzenveld. She was this sweet little cute puppie, but very very naughty. In 1994 I also did my first agility trial at "de Moedige bijters" in a town called Schoten. I did this with Orry. Although Large Munsterlanders aren't the best dogs to do agility with , we had fun anyway.
​
I started showing Shana in conformation, obedience, agility and hunting. I soon discovered that hunting wasn't my kind of thing..... but anyway I was convinced we needed to show she had the capability to do so. We did some Agility trials and obedience trials, later when I met Luc he took over shana for the obedience. I got really involved in the agility thing, But as Munsterlanders aren't the right breed for that fun game, I started looking for another breed.
One day I was shopping with my aunt and stopped in a bookstore, we both looked in the same book and I said to her wow , saw a breed that I really like, she said to me "me to", we both pointed out at the Aussie, that was kind of real funny. That way I started reading more about them, bought some books and finnaly got to be a member of ASCA in 1995.  Aussies in that time were hard to find in Europe, after a long search I finnaly bought my first Aussie in 1997 in Friesland at Diane huismans, Wyndanwood Kennel. We met Diane by accident at a show, were she had this gourgeous bitch with her (we saw some aussies before but nothig like her), Later to be Ch. Briergroves Charcoal Briquette. She told us she was leasing a canadian bitch in whelp. Soon the bitch came, her name Briergroves Bright of Triblue and she was in whelp of Ch. Suejacks Copper top (Owned by Cindy Hayden en Ross in Canada). The litter was born June 8th 1997, 10 puppies, 5 girls and 5 boys. I was so excited . Diane send us picture, and finnaly we got to see them in real life when they were 5 weeks old. 10 puppies were running outside, but it only took me one look, to say this one is mine. She later in live became Multi Ch. Wyndanwood Canadian Sunset RV-E JV-E "Kayleigh". She was our foundation bitch and very sad to say we had to say goodbye to her Januari 16th 2011
​
I rapedly got hooked to the breed. In october 1998 my second Aussies was born she came from The Snowcrest Kennel, California USA. I than was fortunate again that Diane Huismans(Kayleigh's breeder) at that time was visting her family in California, she picked out Aicha for us and brought her back together with a dog we leased from Snowcrest "Toven", Aicha later in live became a Multi Ch. and had several World Winners titles added to her name and agility titles. We also showed Toven to multiple Championships, and he became Multi Ch. Snowcrest Luck of the Draw, and was the sire of our first litter in 1999. Our first litter of Toven X Kayleigh has several champion in it, 7 puppies were born 6 of them finnished their championship with ease, the 7th one was never shown, but I bet he could also be finnished with ease either. At this date (Jan 2011) 5 of them are still alive. And hope they will be with us for some time........
I could go on and on but than this will get so long........ but that's the story how it all begun and how we are still hooked on the breed now and will be for the rest of our lives.
 
Our goal
Our goal is to breed healthy sound dogs with good temperaments, that are able to show in conformation but at the same time could do herding, agility etc....breeding champions of versatility is very important to us.
I think we don't have to complain, we have dogs all over the world. We have champions in conformation, agility, herding etc....
We can not thank all people enough that have trusted us and put so much effored in their dogs, to be were we are today. You are the best owners a breeder could find !!

Our dream came true in 2016 when our kennel became the first European kennel to become a Hall of Fame kennel
