Dogs - I
loved them - but although at first a only have to
snuggle with a big pet with wheels on its feet- because
real dogs always
lied down and slept, whenever I wanted to play with them.
But my
parents, they showed understanding with me - and when I grew up, they allowed me to train our german shepherd-dogs.
The most time - even Sunday early in the morning - you could find me training them
obedience or field-trail and so on.
There,
what pleasure, my husband and I got to know each other and he gave a wonderful
charming dog to me - Muck vom
Aichtal - many years he escorted us with his charm
and happyness.
Our
whole family loves animals - our children - already grownups
now - they lived together with guinea-pigs, rabbits,
hamster, tame rats, budgerigars, fishes, a
grey parrot, some cats and - of course - dogs.
My son
loved his black cat - and he did just the same:

My daughter is an excellent
rider and we spent a lot of time
with our horses - our dogs
were seen everywhere with
pleasure, they enjoyed to come
with us, they liked the smell
and the stable so much.

Our
first Cocker-spaniel bitch was "Leslie" (Lucky Lips vom
Österreichring) - with her first litter we founded
our kennel "Midwinter" at 1995.

In the
meantime there are already a lot of offspring from
our studdogs and we are so pleased to hear about them.
That`s fine that they are - special in
foreign countries like Finland or Germany - so
successful and popular.
Already
more than thirty years we live together with lovely
dogs. It`s so wonderful - every morning, our charming
and merry spaniels welcome us - and therefore we are able
to begin every day with a smile.
We are
breeding English Cocker Spaniels - but
however the last years we also realiszed our love
to English Springer Spaniels - my husband
felt in love with Monti (Donnerschlag vom Schloss
Hellenstein) and a few years later Nora (Stardom Steals
the Limelight) arrived from Sweden and really we
got Springer puppies too.
My "education":
during the time I had worked for the Österreichischen
Kynologenverband I was lucky to met a granddame at
the Austrian Kynologie Mrs Bublik . She told me a lot of
the most different dog races and opened my eyes for
their needs and nature. I also had the possibility to be
friends of experienced and female breeders. On behalf
for it I would like to call Mr. Fritz Brodbeck - he
teached me the base of breeding, selection and whelping,
and Mrs. Maria-Luise Doppelreiter, she was decisive for
that I get fond of dog-shows and last but not least Mrs.Monika Bollinger. Here, at her
kennel I learned to know spaniels in all her vacets, all
ages and colors. Also I could be beside to some births
and was allowed to hold a newborn puppy in my hand -
special at the time I could not - as for my professional
reasons - breed myself .
To all
of them I want to say "Thank you so much" -
and of course also to the best of all masters, to my
dogs.
