About us My husband Stephan and I are living with our twins Kevin and Robin (born in 2003) in a suburb of the city of Essen. Essen is located in the Ruhr valley and our beautiful suburb Burgaltendorf is close to the river Ruhr and surrounded by woods. In May 2005 our first Labrador, the female Dhana (Velvety Dhana of Gugi’s Kate), moved to us. From the very first day of her arrival we were delighted by her beautiful character. Together with her we learned a lot about dog training and Labrador activities and we started to work with dummies. Later we started training with game. In spring 2009 Jette (Ballistic Brilliance v. Heeresteyn) from the Dutch Kennel of Rick Siemens was added to our little pack. She is a daughter of CH KISS ME I AM BRIDGIT V.D. ANSJOROS, who won many show titles and who qualified for CRUFTS six month after her first litter was born. With Jette we have also started with shows. Membership in the following associations: LCD e.V., DRC e.V., hunting association Essen, LJV NRW, L.R.C., NLV.     Daily life with our Labs Our dogs are beloved members of our family and they live together with us in the house. They are friends and companions to us and our children. Our priority is Labrador activity but we do not consider our dogs only for working. In the same sense we do not keep our female dogs only for breeding purposes. Our dogs accompany us whenever possible and we enjoy our holidays together with them. They love our daily life in the house – be it the visits of the grandparents or a whole bunch of kids screaming and shouting. For breeding purposes it might be attractive to have many dogs to increase the popularity of the kennel. We prefer to keep only as many dogs as we can care for with love.   How we work with our dogs I feel responsible for the education and the training of our dogs. I am very interested in typical Labrador retriever activities and train our dogs mainly with dummies but we also do hunting training with game. In addition I participate with our dogs from time to time in courses for gundog working education with trainers from germany and abroad. Also we take part in gundog working and game tests to check our level of training and get new ideas for it.     During summer 2009 I started the training group “Retriever at work”. There we work in groups with dog handlers and retrievers at different levels of education. We exchange our experiences and plan new training activities.     Our way of breeding Since end of 2007 our kennel “Gentle Worker’s” is registered at the Federation Cynologique Internationale (F.C.I. number 1110/07). We are also members of the “Labrador Club Deutschland e.V.” (LCD e.V.) which is associated in the german “Verband für das deutsche Hundewesen” (VDH) within the FCI. Up to today no puppies were born in our kennel. We plan to have puppies only from time to time. Already we invest much energy in the preparation of our first litter and puppies of good Labrador quality.   back to top >>
