This is a picture of my foundation bitch.Bred from working lines.The liver dog is Sh Ch Hillanhi Halvar,sire of my brood bitch.

My kennel was founded 10yrs ago with this flashy bitch Keldy Bordelaise( willow), ex keldy Silver Queen and Mathams Con . I bought her purely for working but also ended up showing her after entering a GSPC club open show and winning two first rosettes not knowing anything about how to handle or show a dog!!!! It was quite a learnig curve . I went onto winning 1 RCC and 2 CC with BOB and before I had chance to make her a champion was cruelly hit with a blow. Willow was involved in a car accident and lost a leg. She remains in my family and is a true inspiration to any dog on three legs. She still hunts prolifically, swims and although slower than her daughter Daisy keeps up with the best. Her temperament is second to none. All the local children make a b-line to see her. And she has recently taken part in therapy for a local child who has an intense fear of dogs.

This is Daisy, my brood bitch (daughter of Keldy Bordelaise).

Daisy is Willows daughter. She is 5yrs old and is very much like her mother, except was easer to train for the field. She has a lovely soft mouth and is used on a local shoot and competes at working tests. She has all the natural hunting instincts but works in a methodical way and can't do enough to please you. She has been by far the easiest of my 3 gsps to train, possibly because she is so biddable and takes this from her fathers breed line (Sh Ch Hilanhi Halvar). She is shown at championship level and has several 1st places.
She is hip scored 7:5
Heart tested clear

I am very grateful to the Gamebourne Kennel for allowing me to have 'Herbie'. I am looking forward to working and showing him in the near future. He is the son of SH CH Hillanhi Cassiopeia and SH CH Barleyarch Paris, bringing together some of the best blood lines the breed has known.

I am a Kennel Club Accredited Breeder based in South of England (Surrey) and have owned Gsp's for eleven years. My brood bitch is health screened and I only breed for my own purposes. My dogs live with myself , husband and young son. It is a busy family and the dogs just fit in with my hectic schedule . I am on the committe of the Surrey and Hants GSP club and recently started to judge at Open Show level.
