My name is Rikke. I was born in Horsens, Denmark, in the year 1972, and educated as a pharmaconomist. Today I work at a big hospital in Århus, where I have got a special education to produce chemotherapy for cancer-patients.

When my time is not used on the dogs or work, I really like all kinds of needlework. I sometimes make drawings of my dogs. Some of them you can see here. If I´m not with my dogs, I like roller blading. Sometimes I bring one of them with me when I´m skating, but it often gives problems, because they go their own way.

First of all, I´m a breeder because I enjoy it. I only breed out of interest for the dogs, and on their terms. I don´t have to make a living out of breeding, and because of that, I always have the opportunity to have puppies when I have the time for them, or wait for when the female is ready for breeding. I only breed because I find it interesting to see, if I can do anything positive for the breed.

All my puppies, have been with people since the day they were born. All of them live inside my house together with me, witch means they are all over the house. Therefore my puppies are used to being around people a lot, therefore they are marked by this, as well as they are by my other dogs. My other dogs will always take part in raising the puppies, as soon as the mother allows them to get close.

My purpose as a breeder is first of all a question about the health of the dogs, and for all this race. It means I only breed dogs, witch have been x-rayed in the hips. I also really would like to see x-rays on the elbows if I can get them, but there are not many who have this status yet. I hope it will come some day soon. It is also very important, that they are not suffering from other hereditary defects, witch can reduce the life-quality for the dogs.

The dogs I choose to mate with, of cause are mentally healthy. This is also a part of the breeding witch I find very important. The dogs have to manage both in a pack and alone, witch they can not do, if they are not mentally healthy. For me it´s very important, that the dogs are not acting aggressive under any conditions. First of all I am breeding a wonderful family dog, and one that may have an enormous tolerance threshold. The dogs should be able to walk outside it´s own walls, without people to fear them. The dogs are so impressive just by their looks, that they will command respect without showing aggressive behaviour. A small breed like this can not bear a bad reputation. Therefore it is very important that my dogs have a stabile and good-natured impression. That is not what an aggressive dog does, and that is why I avoid using them in my breeding-program.

If you look at the text above, it is not hard to figure out, that I´d rather breed quality than quantity. My motto is; " It is easy to breed a good looking dog, it then becomes difficult if you want the dog to be physical and mentally healthy".

I neither can or will guarantee a World-winner from my small kennel. Of cause looks means something, but it is not the most important result. Of cause I try to breed dogs witch look like the standard describing them, so I can deliver a typical looking puppy to those who choose to buy one from me. Therefore it can only be valuable for you, that I have done everything I can, to deliver you a healthy and wonderful dog.
