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.
This is why we dedicate our homepage entirely to these two bitches. 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
We are happy to announce the Hesseldale B-Litter this summer.
As we said, the choice of stud wasn´t easy after visiting so many dogs. Two dogs stole our hearts from the start. This was the case with FTCH Mitforton Oscar of Leadburn which we have chosen for our A- Litter and with his sire FTCH Gosberry Governor. FTCH Gosberry Governor is a lovely stamp of a dog with a friendly and outgoing temperament. He qualified five years in a trot for the IGL Championchips. Two of his offspring (FTCH Mitforton Oscar of Leadburn and his litter sister OFTW Mitforton Onour) qualified for last years IGL Championchips.
We are expecting puppies out of this combination with a lovely temperament and a lot of drive.
A big thank you goes to the Yarwood family who are letting us use Governor at stud.
When everything goes as planned, Lemmy should come in heat around May.
