Richard Tonge & Jan Daelman

Jan Daelman (nee Wagstaff) has owned and loved dogs since 10 years of age.  This love led to owning a cross breed which she trained for Obedience Competition and Breed Shows, this became a 20+ year chapter of her life, including German Shepherds, Border Collies and Polish Lowland Sheepdogs.   Jan has taught obedience and judged competitions as well as competing herself.  Breeds that have attended classes includes, golden retrievers, poodles, corgi's, flat coat retrievers, labrador retrievers, curly coat retrievers, cross breeds,  borzoi and many more.  Jan has also been involved in rescue work but found it too heart breaking to continue.

Richard Tonge has owned and loved dogs from being a child and had in 1983, a Groenendal named Jack being Best Puppy in Breed at Crufts. Other dogs have included Max, who was trained to work as a guard dog for the homeless family’s hostel (Max GSD X Labrador). He often protected battered wives and their children. The dogs, Eric, Liam and Tegwyn were retired Guide dogs for the blind. These were placed with Richard to be looked after until their demise. While working with the retired Guide Dogs, it encouraged Richard to purchase a German Shepherd. Richard also had a business making and renovating hand-carved Rocking Horses, selling them all over the world.

We would like to announce that we will not be producing any more litters of any breed, but our Boys are available still for Stud duties.

Richard & Jan hope you will enjoy visiting the website.
