About Me:
Born in the 'van de Volmolen' kennel, I started my own kennel of English & gordon setters and sussex spaniels, after my marriage in 1997. We chose 'Bournefield' as an affix, being the combination of the two kennels who showed us the way ... Bournehouse English setters (with a great thank youto Gordon & Penny Williams) and 'Oldfield' sussex spaniels (Chris & Christine Bexon). We try to breed English type dogs who have the typical setter character, who live up to the breed standard and who can still do the job in the fields.
Up till now, Bournefield-dogs have won over 50 national titles, as well as several international titles (in the three breeds).
More info on our dogs can be found on our website.
Since 2001, I'm nominated as an international judge. Until now, I judge setters and pointers at national and international shows, both in Belgium and Europe.

    Hello Leen,
    Welcome to this site. We have and share the same aim: to produce beautiful dogs for show but also dogs who get good qualities in the Field. And I's a pleasure to share this passion with you both on shox and Fields.
