Hearthaven

Behind the scenes

 

I am behind this small kennel located in the western part of Denmark. I focus on making strong, healthy and clever aussies and all my dogs live with me (or their co-own families) in the house and are a big part of the daily life. Before I enter a dog in my breeding program, I make sure it has been health tested and the siblings as well, and I evaluate their mental state as well, so I can ensure best possible options for healthy puppies coming out of the combination that are going to be happy family pets. 

2012 was the year I was ever so lucky to choose my first aussie and it was a little by chance :-) I had just lost my border collie Oscar, and since I was not happy with the social part of living with a BC, I thought I would go for a different kind of herding dog and I liked the description of the aussie. I love their individual beauty, their incredible intelligence, their ability to work with anything you ask them to, and their cute cuddle gene makes them the perfect family member in my house.

 

​Obedience is my preferred sport with my dogs, but I also show them in Denmark and around Europe, so I drive Europe flat in my car. I would like to work in herding but for herding you need land and sheep and I have neither. Also I need more time than the 24 hours the day offers me now ;-) 

 

The kennel name is carefully put together from my 2 first girls. Heart comes from Vida's kennelname Heartbreaker, and Haven comes from Heaven, but since Hearthaven both sounds better and gives better meaning than Heartheaven, I ended up with Hearthaven. The meaning itself is also so incredibly me - My hearts place to go whenever life hurts, is presicely the dogs, so a better name I could not ask for. Thank you Naja Baaring for coming up with that genius mix of my 2 girls!
