The name Red Strength refers to the spiritual aliveness one can feel running through the veins of the energy body, dynamic, powerful with the ability to discriminate.

Lotte was called Marjory during the litter period. Her nickname came from the Oracle from the children’s puppet show “the Freggles” as she would spend her time laying around on strange surfaces.

She was a very attractive puppy with a face full of mischief and she managed to get all puppy buyers to want to take her home with them. Lotte was from early on up front and ready to rock and roll. It was rather clear that she would need an experienced handler at her side and a life full of things to keep her adventurous nature busy. Unfortunately the buyer fitting this profile pulled back last minute and so it came that we decided to keep her ourselves.

Lotte got her name as the Dutch word Lot means fate and fate decided that she stayed with us.

Lotte is an independent girl but fortunately not as strong minded as her mother. She is a very sweet and gentle girl, a very fast working dog taking after her mother but then the 2.0 version – less rough edges and a bit more will to please. She loves action and has a weird preference for large breed dogs such as German shepherds and she knows exactly how to approach the most tough looking dogs without any disruption. Lotte is very social and cuddly, until something exciting happens then she is gone – out on adventure. At home she is laid back and modest. Outside she is fast, very eager and clever. She learns very quickly too. Lotte is very attentive of her surroundings and never misses a thing. This can be a bit challenging as a handler but it is a great quality. She swims whenever she gets a chance and has amazing skills to move and work in water. I have more challenges keeping her away from water than getting her in.

Lotte has a very good and flat coat, slightly longer back than her brother. She takes after her mother – her head carries the expression of a tom boy and her persistent look in her eyes always makes me laugh.

Winter 20/21

Lotte is in ongoing gun dog training and she has passed one trial in the summer of 21′: WFRG talent working test for juniors and the Danish “Brugsprøve”. In 2022 she obtained her CDD B and SJP B diploma’s. Apart from that she has been introduced to hunting and has picked up ducks on a shoot. Just like her brother she showed an amazing sense of the terrain – running very easily through rough covers and potato fields. She will work out a field as a HPR would – sliding from left to right when given the chance. Lotte has a very strong game drive, but works fine on dummies at the same time. When on a shoot she is quiet and steady and very obedient. Lotte is very pleasant in company with other dogs – she gets along with all dogs very well and sets her boundaries clearly if needed (if male dogs are intrusive).
