Dogs have always been a part of my life. My Mother bred and showed Pekingnese, and ran a busy boarding kennel. I bred and showed Afghans for many years, as well as supported my Mother in running the kennels. Candidacasa was my Mother's affix which passed to me. The Flatcoats always appealed to me and in 1977 I bought my first and have never looked back. My current bitch, Highammill Pandora (Broom), had a litter to Almanza Roundabout in 2006 from which I have kept Francis - Candidacasa RollaCoaster - who has done well at Championship show level. I also co-own Covenstead Ambassador (Barney) who was imported from Norway at 12 months old. Barney is a son of Almanza Far & Flyg, who won the Gundog Group at Crufts in 2007. Barney's mother has a mix of Norwegian and British breeding lines.
