INTRODUCTION

OF

OURSELVES

 

         

     Hello, we are Coby van Kessel and Ron Telkamp. We live in the province of Limburg in a beautiful little village beside the river "the Maas" in the Netherlands. 

 

 

      In 1991 the first Kuvaszfemale, called "Maxime", came into our home. When we became interested in breeding with her, it seemed that unfortunally she was not suitable for breeding at all. So when she was 2 years old, we decided to look for another Kuvaszfemale. Our second Kuvaszfemale, called "Yaisha", came to us as a puppy of 8 weeks and we imported her from Germany.

 

 

 

Maxime (18-05-1991 / 28-03-2003) and Yaisha (19-02-1993 / 19-01-2004)

 

     Ron decided to follow a canine studies course (known as AKK here in Holland at that time) at the local dog training club so he could learn more about reproduction, genetics, anatomy, physiology, cell biology, food science, behaviour, movement, dog breeds, etc.

 

     Together with an Hungarian man from our village we thought about a name for our kennel. The name finally became:

  “FEHÉR CSAVARGO”

 

 this is Hungarian for “white rascal”.

         

         

     We looked all over Europe for a suitable mate for our Yaisha. In november 1995 our first litter was born: 3 males and 5 bitches. Out of this litter we kept our female: “Alany”. 

 

 

       

Yaisha with her A-litter      Alany, 9 weeks

 

 

     Alany grew up to be a female/bitch of excellent quality. We also took her to shows and clubshows in Holland and further afield until we found a suitable breeding partner. In the summer of 1998 Alany had her first litter: 1 male and 6 bitches. From this litter we kept a female specially chosen for her temperament and character: “Babuschka”. In 1999 Alany got her final Dutch and International championship.

     In the summer of 1999 our Yaisha developed a severe infection, two weeks after being mated and due to this problem she was unable to have any more puppies. In August of that same year we decided to get ourselves a male. It had been our wish for many years but it never came to anything before. His name is “Betyar”.

 

 

    Betyar, 10 weeks 

 

 

     We have imported Betyar from Germany and in the meantime he has grown up till a hugh, sweet and harmonious builded male.

 

 

Betyar, 4 years     

 

 

         In 1995 we restarted the canine studies (KK-I) course together because we both wanted to increase our knowledge. After this we went on the ‘advanced’ course (KK-II) and also the course ‘Dog structure and analysis of movement’ which leads up to becoming judge on which Coby continues to increase her knowledge for the past and the coming years. Also we visited and keep visiting symposia concerning behaviour, food, breeding, juridical aspects, etc. We also regularly visit shows here and abroad due to our interest in the breed and also to look a the new generation, new bloodlines and maybe discover new candidates for breeding.

         In the mean time our Babuschka has grown up to a female of excellent quality an she also became extremely succesful on shows. When she was 11 months old she already became two times Best of Breed on big shows here and abroad and also once Best Youthdog of the show. In october 2000 she got her first litter: 4 males and 6 bitches. From which 3 females (Csitri, Charisma and Csárda) went to breeders for new bloodlines from which 2 bitches have been exported to the USA and Danmark to start up new bloodlines. In the meantime also the owners of a fourth daughter: Cigány Asszony started breeding. Babuschka's daughter Csitri in the USA already achieved the “American Championship” (2001) on the age of 10 months and Charisma already has achieved her “Danisch Championship” (2002). Csárda became "Clubwinner" and BIS on the Champion Kuvaszspecialty of the Dutch Kuvaszclub (KVN) on age of 20 months. And she also achieved her "Dutch Championship" (2003). Cigány Asszony just started end of 2004 her showcarrier and she achieved to "Dutch Championship" already in March 2005. Also Babuschka's son Corak has achieved a major win, he became first in the youngdogclass and Reserve Worldchampion with only 21 months. Not only the showresults are very good also the HD results are rewarded in the meantime and we are very glad to inform that Csárda, Corak and Cartouche have been rewarded with HD A (Excellent) and Charisma and Cigány Asszony with HD B (Very Good). Also Babuschka became to be a grandmother. Csárda gave birth to: 4 males and 1 female on 6th of October 2003 / 2 males and 6 females on 14th February 2005 and 2 males and 5 females on 17th March 2007. Also Corak became a father of 3 males and 6 females on 4th February 2004 and of 4 males and 4 females on 26th April 2005. Cigány Asszony gave birth to: 6 males and 6 females on 23th June 2005 / 7 males and 1 female on 12th March 2007 and 4 males and 8 females on 4th April 2008. Two males of these litters have been exported to the US and their offspring has been already spread over the US and Canada.

        After Babuschka’s recovery  from her first litter she became amazingly succesfull. And from which we only could dream became reality: our first selfbreeded “WORLDCHAMPION”. On 8th June at Porto in Portugal Babuschka achieved this championship. But not only this she also became the Beautifulst Kuvasz of the World: Best of Breed (BOB). This was only the beginning of the successes which followed up that same year: “International Champion”,  “Dutch Champion”, “Luxemburg Champion”, “Beneluxwinner 2001”, “Clubwinner PPHA Kuvasz 2001”, “Amsterdam Winner 2001” and “Brussels Winner 2001”. Her latest successes within 2002 are "Belgium Champion" and we are very proud that during our visit to Babuschka's daughter Csitri in the USA during the month March of 2002 Babuschka finished within 4 shows and became "American Champion". It was a very difficult competition, the first 4 shows between 45 and 51 Kuvasz were entered at the shows. She became at all 6 shows first in openclass and further: 2 times Reserve Winner, 1 time Best of Winners, 1 time Best of Opposit Sex and 2 times Best of Breed. Also she became "Europasiegerin 2002", which is the title on the biggest show at Germany; Dortmund and she got her final German VDH Championtitel. 

 

 

Babuschka, 3 years

 

     She also turned out to be an excellent agilitydog. End of June she got her first certificate for agility-1 and she turned out to be best of all groups of agility-1. So a Kuvasz also can be an excellent working dog.    

 

    

         

Babuschka with D-litter        D-litter 7 ˝ weeks

 

     On 5th December 2002 Babuschka became mother of 9 males from which 5 males (D-litter) stayed alive. We hope to see some of these males some time on a specialty or another show. In the mean time Drágám Dirk has been rewarded for his HD as HD A (Excellent) and he also became a father of 4 females in July 2004. Pictures of the dogs of our D-litter you can look at our site "Family-album D-litter". 

 

        On May 24th, 2003 the unexpected happened to us: our Alany on 7 ˝ years age got her second litter (E-litter) after 5 years giving birth to her first litter (B-litter), also Babuschka is from this litter. The father is our own male Betyar.  Alany showed herselfe again to be a wonderfull mother so we were very happy about that. And it was also wonderfull to see our own male Betyar once as a father.

     From this E-litter we hope to see some of the dogs on the show and also the male Élénk Rablö. Because there was severall interest from abroad we choose to send Élénk Rablö to England. He already did his first show in juniorclass and he already became Best of Breed. Élénk Rablö already has become 2 times a father in 2005 and Evita Bjéla got a litter which unfortunally was not planned also in 2005.

      Pictures of our E-litter you can see on our site: "Family-album E-litter".

 

      In the spring of 2004 a litter was planned with our Multi Champion Babuschka Fehér Csavargo. We travelled all over to California for a stud. And so we are very glad that Babuschka got a beautiful litter of 7 males and 2 females on the 5th June 2004. 

 

 

   

Babuschka with F-litter    Floriana, 8 months old

 

     From this litter we kept a very nice female specially chosen for her temperament and character (just like her mother Babuschka). Her name is "Floriana". She already maneged to become best of breed on age of 10 months and got her first point for Dutch Champion. In the meantime she grew up to be a female of excellent quality and she also became very succesful on shows. She already got the titles: "Dutch Champion", "Belgium Champion", "Luxembourg Champion", "Belgium Winner 2006", "Siegerin Kassel 2006", "Hopqueen 2007" and "Crufts Winner 2007". Also we already have seen a few males of this litter on shows and we can special mention that the male Fenseg on age of 17 months won Best of Breed (BOB) on the Kuvaszspecialty of the Dutch Kuvaszclub (KVN) and he may call himselfe "Clubwinner KVN 2005". Also he became best male (BOS) on the German Kuvaszspecialty of the Kuvasz Freunde (KF) and further he maneged to get the titles: "Belgian Winner 2006", "Hopprince 2005", "Hopqueen 2006" and "Dutch Champion".

More information, pedigrees en pictures of our F-litter you can see on our page: "Family-album F-litter" and "Pedigrees of Alany, Babuschka and Floriana". Also the pictures of our trip to California with Babuschka are available on our page: "Holidays March / April 2004 in California (USA)".

 

     After a very long time of thinking we finally decided to do a last and final litter with our Babuschka. We found a beautiful championmale in Hungary and end of August 2005 we travelled to Hungary to breed her. On 25th and 26th October 2005 were born: 5 males and 7 females. There was a large number of interested people from abroad and therefor threequarter of the puppies of this litter went to: Finland, Switserland, Germany, Belgium and Holland ofcourse. 

 

  

      Babuschka with G-litter               Gyémánt Gésa, 9 weeks

 

 

From this litter we kept again a very nice female and she turned out to be become a wonderful companion. Her name is Gyémánt Gésa. In the mean time Gyémánt Gésa has been rewarded for her HD as HD B (Very Good) and ED and OCD free. Gyerek Balu has been rewarded with HD A and ED free and Gésa Leany also has been rewarded with HD A and OCD free. Gyerek Balu already has achieved some excellent results on shows. "Jouthwinner" Amsterdam (NL) in 2006 and "Europasieger" Dortmund (D) in 2007.

 

 

        

Gyémánt Gésa, 12 weeks

 

More information, pedigrees en pictures of our G-litter you can see on our page: "Family-album G-litter" and "Pedigrees of Alany, Babuschka and Gyémánt Gésa". Also the pictures of our trip to Hungary with Babuschka are available on our page: "Holidays Hungary August / September 2005".

 

 

   

Gyémánt Gésa, 18 months

     After all of the successes of Alany's daughter Babuschka another success followed: Alany's other daughter Birka was exrayed on age of 5 years and rewarded with HD A (Excellent). The owner of Birka planned to do a litter with her and 24th of November 2003 a wonderfull litter was born: 4 males and 6 females. From this litter a male has been exported to Danmark and already has Offspring in most other Scandinavian countries and also in other parts of Europe as well.

 

     After some time of thinking for a partner for our Floriana we came up with a very beautiful male. So on 2nd of January 2008 she got her first litter, our H-litter: 7 males and 3 females. There was again a large number of interested people from abroad and therefor our puppies went to: USA,  France, Danmark and Holland. The litter was a beautiful and homogenious litter. Therefor Ron already had decided to keep a male from this litter so we kept Harcos Lelkes. We hope he will grow up to be a nice male and also we hope to meet some of the other puppies on the shows.

 

  

 Harcos Lelkes, 4 months

 

            Harcos already has grown up till a beautiful breedtypical male and he already achieved some excellent showresults already on very young age. On age of 9 months he already became Best of Breed (BOB) on a hugh international show and last but surely not least he got himselfe a 6th place in the group! Furthermore he achieved to become a Dutch Youthchampion and he already has enough points for the Dutch Championtitel but has to wait until he is 27 months of age! So we hope this to happen half of 2010. Also Harcos's his healthresults have turned out to be excellent: HD A (=Excellent), ED free, OCD free and PRA normal/clear (=free). And also we hope he maight be a father very soon!

 

  

      

 Harcos Lelkes, 2 years

 

 

Also Hajnalka Jázmin, who lives in Danmark, already has acheaved some beautiful results on shows by getting two times best female when she was competing in youthclass. Also the male Huszár Barát, who live in the US with his grandfather Stratus (father of our female Floriana), also already has achieved some great results.

More information, pedigrees en pictures of our H-litter you can see on our page: Photo Album: "H-litter, born on 2nd January 2008". 

     After a long time we started thinking about a next litter. We decided to breed our female Floriana once more because we decided not to breed our female Gésa. We found a wonderful male in Hungary, which we have seen already 4 years ago and again in Oktober 2008 of which we were still impressed. So we drove about 3500 kilometers (2200 miles) to breed Floriana to this beautiful Hungarian championmale. Their 11 puppies; 6 males and 5 females have been born on the 15th of July 2009. Again lots of inquiries came from all over the world. 

 

 

  

Floriana with I-litter           Írisz Jázmin, 11 Weeks of age
 

 

 
     Because of the hugh interest for this litter from all over the world 6 of the puppies went outside Holland, nl. to Germany, Belgium and Ukraine. From this litter we kept a beautiful female called: Írisz Jázmin. We hope she may grow up to a healthy and beautiful female and also that she may step into her mother's and grandmother's footsteps. In the meantime she already has achieved some beautiful results on shows als a little puppy. Once she already became 3rd best puppy of the show and one other time she was picked our for the 5 best puppies of the show. Her sister Imola Írisz is also already very succesful in her country Ukraine.

For more information and lots of beautiful pictures of this beautiful litter you can see on our page: Photo Albums: "I-litter, born on 15th of July 2009".
