I have been living in Érd since 1993. We moved to a bigger house with
garden from Budapest – Zugló because of the dogs. I became accidentally
involved with the dogs….. An English Setter puppy of 8 weeks was put
under my care in the early 70’s. I did not have a clue what to do with
it, I had to look after everything concerning the breed and how to take
care of it. I went in search of the whole Hungarian English Setter
stock. It resulted so well, that I bought my first dog for breeding
purposes in 1973. Niki was the only female out of the first litter of an
imported male born in Hungary. My first English Setter litter was born
in 1976. A male and a female of this litter got several CACIB and BOB
titles. No standstill from that time, one show followed the other. 11
litters were born in my kennel, I got nice results, among others one of
female out of my breeding became Interhchampion. I also had a wonderful
English Setter male from the world famous Italian della Bassana kennel (Cripto
della Bassana). I dipped into the hunting with him.
I met Gyula Csekő in 1982 whom I married later on. He was also a
breeder, he bred Dalmatians. So we bred two breeds for a while. I can
tell you without exaggeration that Dalmatians of the Hadrianus Kennel
were well known all over the world. We had been breeding this breed for
more than 25 years. Our main results: World Winner (1980 Verona),
EuroWinner (1989 Belgium), 12 Interchampion holders, holders of champion
titles of several nations, countless HCH holders. We won the Amsterdam
Winner title with a female out of our breeding in 1988. We imported more
than one dog from the Netherlands.(Kennels
von Hius
Dalmatho and Gwynmor).
My husband had been the president of the Hungarian Dalmatians Club for
14 years. He also was an international conformation judge of the
Dalmatians, of all Setter variations and of Retrievers. This is how my
devotion to the Retrievers began. My husband learnt everything possible
to know about Labrador Retrievers from Mr. Zoltán KISS, owner of the
MIDNIGHT SUN kennel. We became good friends with Zoli. After long years,
Winston, a yellow Labrador male came to our home from Zoli and we loved
it so much, that it stayed with us forever. In the meantime my husband
became seriously ill and sadly he died in spring 2006 after a six and
half year of sickliness. Our Dalmatians became too old as well and no
more Dalmatian litter was born in our kennel!
Due to
the yellow Labrador male stayed with me the idea flashed into my mind to
start a common work with Zoli. This common work lasted more than five
years. Lots of nice Labradors came in and out into my house during that
period, I learnt a lot about this breed. 7 litters were born in my
hands, I bred lots of puppies, I did my best to give them to careful
owners, which I do hope, could do with success. In 2008 I decided to go
on separately with breeding and in 2009 the first Labrador litter under
the legendary affix, HADRIANUS (Labradors) was born.
I shall do my utmost to achieve the same results as we got with the
Dalmatians. When breeding, I shall do my best and the best of my ability
to preserve all the qualities, beauty and health of this wonderful
breed. |
