about us
We are an animal loving family through and through. As early as 1980 we had the name of the kennel "Rosegarden" protected in the Club for British Sheepdogs e.V., in which we have been a member since 1977. Our first litter of Collies was carefully planned and born in 1982, after which we had long considered the idea of breeding them as a hobby.
Peter has had a collie since he was a child and to this day his heart belongs first and foremost to Rough Collies. Birgit quickly lost her heart to this wonderful breed and was primarily the one who would love starting a hobby breed in 1980. Our daughter Deryn was born into the Rosegarden breed in 1988, so to speak, and grew up with the dogs, raising puppies and doing shows. She is also owner of our hobby kennel since 2006.
In 1996 we moved from Cramme to Peine, where we could pursue our love of animals more intensively on a property of almost 1.5 hectares. Besides poultry, sheep and horses, a Border Collie joined us in 2000 and we bred our first Border Collie litter in 2004. Deryn developed more ambitions for dog sports like agility, frisbee and especially dogdancing, favoring of course the Border Collies.
We had our last Rough Collie litter in 2015 and ended Collie breeding with a successful era. When it comes to Border Collie breeding, the motto has always been quality over quantity. Loving puppy rearing and shaping within the family and household is a matter of course for us. Just like the careful selection of breeding dogs, but also of our puppy buyers.
In 2019, a little Welsh Corgi Pembroke bitch came into our family. With her we had our first Pembroke litter in 2021.
For us, the focus is on health and character traits in harmony with the standard-compliant appearance. Each of our dogs is a fully integrated family member. However, we also make the same demands on our puppy buyers.
