Henk ten Klooster's Comments

Thank you very much for your comment on Anacardium Exuberance. Of course she is Brachenfield through and through and this is quite a compliment for me . If Sybil is well enough she will be at Crufts tomorrow and I will certainly tell her of your comment. Thank you again.

yes, Sybil has a bitch entered in post grad and she is hoping to arrive by eleven tomorrow morning with Steve her brother if she feels well enough. She has had yet another fall on the 31st of December when I spoke to her on tuesday she said she would leave it to the last minute to decide whether she was coming or not! I hope to arrive by 8 as I have my dog in veteran and they start judging at 9.

thanks for your comment, Henk! danka is "watching" the scents, i watch the fields and am concerned how danka will perform :)

my eyes got burned out by the sun :-)))
i bet you like the dog on the certificate!

Great to hear from you. I guess it's a small world afer all - your bloodlines being connected so closely to some of the dogs I've known.
If there's anything I can do to help you - just give me a holler!!!

the serious look is called concentration :-) no more shows now for a while, i promise - but heading towards the field trials in september and october. wish us luck, we'll need some of it :-)

Thanks for your comments, Henk. I think I'll have to get a r&w myself - makes the photographs so much more attractive than just the red ;-))
Glen is certainly happy in the field, but I get the impression he likes impressing the girls at the shows too:-))
but I agree that given the choice: he'd go for the field...

Hello Henk, just in case you wonder...that part of a dead animal did not stay in the dogs mouth too long...it ended up in the pot. (Oh god how my mother would hate THAT...eating something that once had been in a dogs mouth!) But I rinsed it well before...:-)

An honor from this side as well Henk!
We can continue our battles in the forum :-)

Thank you so much for the comment on the "maximum bragging post". Perhaps I should just mention that I can not stand the taste (or smell) of whiskey. Ill go for the cigar instead! :-)

Hi Henk, yes the old Boy(Billy) has Periwinkle in his pedigree and also Tertius and Berle and many of the Hartsbourne Sh.Ch. like Trident and Starlight and Heron but he was not bred by Sybil...he is a Tamarisk dog.I have had 3 other Tamarisk dogs before him but when it came to starting my own breeding I went back to Sybil.. On the other photo,my husband shoots that field most weekend...it is ours and it is rough shooting ..one man and his dog,no beaters or driven birds! .At the moment we only have wild pheasants we are hoping to put a few birds down this summer(pheasants and partridges).One of my dogs is being trained and we hope he will be good enough for next season

I can certainly try to email some pedigrees...which dogs are you interested in in particular?
Regards
Catherine

Hello Henk, thank you for your comment and NOOO I don`t eat the cake, it looks very delicious, but there was some doggie sausage inside, I think it was made from boild entrails and I wasn`t very hungry so I let them the cake :-))

Hallo Henk,

Ik heb oude foto van jou showing Dearbhall O' Muirthemne geplaatst op je blog Celebrating a setter centennial.
Indien je dit niet graag hebt verwijder ik hem hoor.
vriendelijke groeten
Jean

Hi Henk, Have sent you an email with all info....hope you get it,let me know your thoughts
Regards, Catherine.

Actually just got a note telling it could not be delivered...is there another email address?

Ok! have sent it again to the 2nd address! let me know your thoughts!

Thanks Henk! Yes they enjoy being outside very much, they always ask me to let them out, but I can't let them out often cause the cold, windy and rainy we have at the moment. Imagie, both girls and one of the boys already has pionted the toys :-))

Thanks for your wishes! But in fact now only a few places in Poland we can describe as 'partridge paradise'. Generally we have problems with small game. But I believe Podolski's owner will find a pass to the paradise.

Thanks Henk, but I somehow doubt it.
I admit those grouse moors could become addictive, in the right weather that is...
