someone or something can be referred to as going platinum to imply that they or it will be a big hit, success, or accomplishment. Well, it is hard to say when a dog is accomplished..I think when it is healthy and lives a good life it is accomplished. Everything that comes beyond that is luxury.. FlatasticContinue reading “Platinum”

It is funny how life has it’s own mysterious way of unfolding. Born in to a household with German Wirehaired and German hunting terriers it was not in the line of expectations that I would choose Flatcoated retrievers as my breed. Nevertheless I have lost my heart completely to them and this love has madeContinue reading “Extension of my Flatastic activities”

The two Flatastic males who where planned to sire a litter at kennel Tricksywood’s have both had succesful matings with Ylva. We are looking forward to the prospect of their offspring in early 2026. For more information and/or waiting list options for this litter please contact yvonne via email: yvonne@kayaa.nu

During the MAP B in Zeijlerveen, the North of NL, photographer Louise Smid made these lovely photos of Flatastic Red Strength “Lotte” and Flatastic Black Peace “Kaspar”. I love the mysterious background and the waterdrops – just gorgeous. A MAP is a Dutch cold game competition with 6 post of two retrieves. One can participateContinue reading “Working portrets”

Today our two liver “brown sugars” from the Beast nest Jan 25 out of Flatastic Red Strength & Arved von der Wichmannsburg were shown at the Bleiswijk Dogshow under judge Wies Boermans. For the first time they were out in youth class and it was obvious that they are less accustomed to the loud surroundingsContinue reading “Brown Sugar at Bleiswijk Dogshow”

In the midst of hunting and gundog testing season we opted for a weekend training in the hills surrounding the charismatic hotel Klaukenhof. Two generations of Flatastic dogs attended: Jason, Kaspar, Spyke, Shelby & Lotte from the Aura litter and Daisy from the Beast litter with guests Pipa & Ylva. Trainer Wim van Loenen assistedContinue reading “Flatastic at Klaukenhof DE”

Today team Flatastic attended the breed clubshow of WFRG under German judge and breed specialist Gisele Werner. By coincidence I discovered that Mrs Werner also is the one who approved Brösel von Timeloberg for breeding (exterior) so she has now had a good influence on the dogs in our breeding line. This season has beenContinue reading “KCM WFRG 21st of September 2025”

Today we drove to see Barbara for a much needed haircut and nail clipping. Both litters kept me from keeping my own dogs up to their beauty standard and luckily Barbara invited all 5 at once. For Jette it was a first time but she already needed a haircut. Thank you Barbara for being soContinue reading “Beauty parlor for team Flatastic”

Alle puppies op teefje rood na zijn inmiddels uitgevlogen en Indy is met haar dochter Nora weer thuis bij Jan. We zijn dankbaar dat we weer mooie weerbare en sociale puppies hebben kunnen meegeven aan leuke gezinnen en mensen die heerlijk met hun nieuwe maatjes gaan werken en plezier beleven. Een aantal van deze pupsContinue reading “Tot ziens hemelse puppies – goodbye heavenly puppies & hopefully we meet soon again.”

Ik voel me altijd weemoedig als het einde van een nestperiode nadert.. de vermoeidheid en in dit geval ook de uitputting zorgt voor blijdschap dat langere nachten in zicht zijn. Tegelijk is de emotionele band met de pups zo groot dat uitvliegen zeer doet. Al onze nesten zijn tot nu toe gevolgd door een grootContinue reading “Het begin van het einde..”
