Hello, we are Ari and Gregory.
We are living at the foot of Teutoburg Forest close to the beautiful Hesseltal, a picturesque valley. Many hours roaming this beautiful area with our dogs, have inspired us to call our kennel Hesseldale.
We are both passionate about dogs, who have been at our side since childhood and have become an essential part of our lives. Our hearts beat for labradors in particular. That is why we took the decision to mate our bitch Int. FT CH Masters of Water Emie dite Ellie with FT CH Waterford Ganton in 2016. Our two bitches Gundog’s Choice Flame called Lemmy and Gundog’s Choice Flinte called Purdey result from this perfect match.
These two are the foundation of the Hesseldale kennel. From the A-litter we kept back Hesseldale Abbey. She’s our little sunshine.
We aim to breed healthy labradors with a good temperament and the typical will to please. Even though we deeply enjoy taking part in working tests and picking up with our dogs, they really are family members accompanying us through our everyday lives. It is our goal to pass on the wonderful character of Ellie and her offspring to future generations of dogs.
Hesseldale A – litter
We are happy to announce the Hesseldale A-litter this winter. The choice of stud wasn´t easy after visiting so many dogs this summer. Ari and I started to make short lists and tried to explain why we had them on that list. All of them are quality working dogs with lovely temperaments, each with their own „superpower“.
In the end we both fell for Mr and Mrs Steel´s FTCH Mitforton Oscar of Leadburn.
Thank you Catherine Steel Billy Steel for trusting us to use Oscar on Purdey. I also want to thank Frances Roberts for taking us to the South West Scotland Gundog Associating two day open stake. Two years ago we saw Oscar with Billy for the first time and he impressed us straight away.
Hesseldale B – litter
Due to travel restrictions we decided to change the studdog for Lemmys first Litter.
Our choice for Morris doesn’t come as a surprise because he has been very consistent over the last two seasons.
At a very young age he gained awards at international open field trials. This year he shwoed his quality by winning a CACIT Trial.
Morris is a lovely dog with a great temperament. His pace and style are eyecatching.
A big thank you goes to Roy Ehbel from Rebel Blend Labradors for allowing us to use Morris at stud.
Hesseldale C – litter
We decided to choose FTCH Troddenmills Full Throttle of Leacaz for our C-litter with Purdey.
We saw Todd the first time as a youngster in 2017. Last summer we had the opportunity to watch him two days at a working test and at training with Lee Hartis. Todd has a superb temperament and he works with great passion and style. We couldn´t be happier!
Depending when she comes in heat Purdey will be sired by Todd in early sping or summer 2021.
We thank Thelma Blumenthal for giving us the opportunity to use Todd.
