We are a large family consisting of me, Rosie-Marie and my husband Harry, 2 great daughters who are 22-21 years of age, and they have moved out. The children living at home is between 18 years and 1 year, there are 6 boys and 2 girls, one of the girls are 2yrs and one who was born in 2010 in November
Then we have 5 Bernese Mountain Dogs, it is 1male and 4 females. Our male is born in 2007, our first girl was born in 2007, our second girl was born in 2008 and the third female is born 2009 and number 4 in 2010. Then we must not forget our sons' cat that is born in 2005.
Our dogs name is, Rozcoe'z Amazing Angus, Gabriella Van’t Pachthof och Ekoxens Smood Senyaya, Bearclaw Sweet Saga, Bearclaw The Emperor Trudie.
It all started with our first Berner that was our beloved dog Ekoxens Jonny Jagger who would have been 5 years 2008. Unfortunately, we had to remove him. His hips were very bad, unfortunately it is what might happen. (Rest in peace our dear little teddy bear) Even Edet Fabian has been resting in peace, he fell asleep in 2010.
Who are we? I'm Rosie-Marie, and I’m 40 years old. I´m married to my husband Harry, who is also 40. We have 10 wonderful children. We are also dancing in our spare time. Harry is an instructor in square dancing and I am an instructor in line dancing. I dance both dance forms and Harry keeps most of the squaredance. I, Rosie-Marie have started my own business, in which I'm doing a little bit of everything. I´m working on building our house and it's a project in itself. We do much of our things together with our family, either at home or we go to different places. Our dogs are always together with us on our trips, they just love to be with us. Our closest family is very important to us.
How it was that we started a kennel?
It was 2003 when we bought our first Bernese Mountain Dog, from a wonderful breeder, kennel Ekoxens. Unfortunately, we had to remove him because his hips were so bad. But the year that we got from him, made us even more to love this particular breed. We came in contact with another breeder called Edets kennel, where we bought our second Bernese Mountain Dog, Edet Fabian, who was born 2004. He was a wonderful dog who loved his family. We had to remove him in 2010 depending of the disease. In 2005 we started to go to dog shows, but appetite whetted for this. We decided then that we wanted to continue with this breed of dog and took out everything that was needed. We also received great help from Ekoxens kennel (THANKS FOR THAT!). Decided to bring home a dog from abroad, and then we bought Gabriella. She has a completely different way than was Fabian but is also a kind and wonderful dog. She loves the kids. (Which is a must when we have children.) Gaby was born in 2007 and she gave us our first litter 2009. I also have a female who comes from Ekoxens kennel who was born in 2008 and named Senyaya. We kept a bitch from Gaby who was born in 2009 Bearclaw Sweet saga.
Senyaya has given us a litter of 7st. We also kept a little bitch from this litter and she is called Bearclaw The Emperor Trudie who was born in 2010. We also have a lovely dog that we got to us when he was a two-year-old, he was born in 2007 and is named Goliath.
Fabian became a father 2 times which we are very proud of, they are very nice puppies.
For us, our families are very important and this is also our animals because we do the best we can to ensure that our puppies end up in as good families as possible. It must feel right to us, when we meet with our potential buyers, we sell no commodity but a cuddly friend.
It was a little bit about us and our family.
Just want to say an extra thank you to Ekoxens kennel and kennel Edet, they have been, and are, wonderful people.
