This morning I was invited to join a summer hunt with Rumi by a befriended hunter. However according to Dutch law it was not a hunt, but it is a part of pest control for farmers as the country is suffering from huge amounts of geese, eating their way through the profit of farmers. ItContinue reading “Damage control for farmers”

We were forced to postpone the litter reunion 3 times this past year due to covid lockdowns.. so it was with great joy that I could finally invite all owners to our first reunion. A great effort was made to change work schedules and drive a severe range of km’s to be able to attendContinue reading “Aura litter reunion: happy times with the flatastic 12”

A day in the park Training young flatcoated retrievers with passion for hunting is not a walk in the park. It sometimes feels a bit more like a jungle tour and there are days when you just have relax to what is and try again with a smile. But when you look back – youContinue reading “Young Flatastics in training”

Today Kaspar & Lotte (5 months old) had their first grooming session – just a little bit of getting used to standing on a table and the sound of scissors. They were comfortable with the handling and trusting of me cutting a bit of the end tail hair. Afterwards we had a short baby showContinue reading “Baby steps”

Let me introduce you to: Flatastic Red Strength At seven and 1/2 weeks away in the litter weContinue reading “New Beginnings with Double Love..”

Here he is – our new family member, the dog who stole my heart the moment he entered this world. The most handsome puppy I have ever seen (yes I know I cannot think clearly): Flatastic Black Peace From the very beginning he and I had a thing and this will probably be the lastContinue reading “And may we present to you…”

Past weekend we had the pleasure of meeting most of our puppy candidates on the waiting list. For us it was also a great moment to see how the puppies interact with humans. They loved all the attention and settled down nicely afterwards Time has not been on our side since Rumi became ill withContinue reading “5 1/2 weeks old”

Yesterday the Flatastics turned two weeks old. They are still doing great growing and sleeping – eyes have opened too so they are taking in the world. They are very active with their noses and as soon as they smell me or Rumi they speed up their crawling/walking pace. They have had their first antiContinue reading “2 weeks old”
