INTRODUCTION

 

         

     Hello, I am Coby van Kessel and at this moment I live with my two Kuvaszgirls Floriana and Írisz Jázmin in the province of Limburg in the Netherlands in a little village called Wellerlooi beside the river the Maas, in the middle of a very beautiful Nature Reserve: called: "Maasduinen".

      How the first Kuvasz came into my life was rather a funny story. I had to decide for the new pet, wether I prefered a bird or a dog!  Because the earlier birds have bitten and damaged all the plants and made always a lot of mess in the house, I decided for a puppy. But which breed? The choice was between a Maremma or a Kuvasz. At that time I did not knew anything about the Dutch Kennelclub or any clubs for any breeds. So due to the newspaper the first Kuvasz came into my life in the sommer of 1991. And than the Kuvaszstory began!
 
      In 1991 the first Kuvaszfemale came and her name was "Maxime". When the interest came into breeding, it seemed that unfortunally she was not suitable for breeding at all. So when she was 2 years old, the decision came for another Kuvaszpuppy. The second Kuvasz, called "Yaisha", came  as a puppy of 8 weeks and she was imported from Germany.

(19-02-1993 / 19-01-2004)

 

     The decision was made in 1995 to follow some of the offered canine studies courses, known as KK-I and KK-II in Holland, at the local dog training club to learn more about (KK-I) about reproduction, genetics, anatomy, physiology, cell biology, food science, behaviour, movement, dog breeds, etc. After both canine courses I went to the ‘advanced’ course of  ‘Dog structure and analysis of movement’ which leads up to becoming a judge. Not only that but increasing your knowledgement for the future is very important so I have visited and keep visiting symposia and lectures concerning behaviour, food, breeding, juridical aspects, etc. Also regularly I visit shows here and abroad due to my interest in the breed and also to look at the new generations, new bloodlines and maybe discover new candidates for breeding!

 

     Together with an Hungarian friend from the village I used to life in the name of the kennel was invented. Finally the decision was made for the name:

  “ FEHÉR CSAVARGO ”

 

 this is Hungarian for “white rascal”.

                  

     After looking in several countries all over Europe for a suitable mate for Yaisha a young Hungarian male was found. In November 1995 the first litter was born: 3 males and 5 females/bitches. Out of this litter a beautiful compact builded and breedtypical female/bitch stayed. Her name was: “Alany”.

     Alany grew up to become a female/bitch of excellent quality. She participated several shows and clubshows in Holland and further afield until a suitable breeding partner was found for her first litter. In the summer of 1998 Alany gave birth to her first litter: 1 male and 6 females/bitches. This was the second litter: B-litter. From this litter a very special female/bitch was chosen to stay because of her temperament and character and beauty! Her name was: “Babuschka”. In 1999 Alany has been rewarded with the final titles for Dutch and International Champion.

     In the summer of 1999 Yaisha unfortunally developed a severe infection, two weeks after being mated. Due to this problem she was unable to have any more puppies. In August of that same year the decision was made for a male to come and join. His name was: “Betyar”.

     Betyar has been imported from Germany and he turned out to grown up till a hugh, sweet and harmonious builded male.

         In the mean time Babuschka became a female/bitch of excellent quality and she also became extremely succesful on shows. No less than on age of almost 11 months she already became two times Best of Breed on big shows here and abroad and also one time Best Youthdog of the show! In October 2000 she gave birth to her first fantastic litter: 4 males and 6 bitches. From this litter 3 females (Csitri, Charisma and Csárda) went to breeders 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 titel of “American Champion” in 2001 on the age of only 10 months and amazingly in less than 4 months! Also Charisma already achieved her titel for “Danisch Champion” in 2002. Csárda became "Clubwinner" and BIS in 2002 on the Kuvaszspecialty of the Dutch Kuvaszclub (KVN) on the age of only 20 months. And she also achieved her Titel for "Dutch Champion" in 2003. Cigány Asszony just started end of 2004 her showcarrier and she achieved the titel of "Dutch Champion" already in March 2005. Also Babuschka's son Corak had achieved a major win, he became first in the intermediateclass and Reserve Worldchampion on age of only 21 months. Not only the showresults were very good. Also the healthresults of HD (= hips) were rewarded in the meantime and very pleased about the beautiful results of Csárda, Corak and Cartouche, which have been rewarded with HD A (Excellent) and Charisma and Cigány Asszony with HD B (Very Good). Also Babuschka became to be a grandmother several times. 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 already has been spread over the US and Canada.

        After Babuschka’s  recovery from her first litter she became amazingly succesfull. And from which anybody only could dream of became reality! My first selfbred “WORLDCHAMPION”. On 8th of June 2001 at the city Porto in Portugal Babuschka achieved this Championship. But not only that, 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. Many titles followed: “International Champion”,  “Dutch Champion”, “Luxemburg Champion”, “Beneluxwinner 2001”, “Clubwinner PPHA Kuvasz 2001”, “Amsterdam Winner 2001” and “Brussels Winner 2001”. Her latest successes within 2002 were the titles of "Belgium Champion" and very proud that during the visit to Babuschka's daughter Csitri in the USA during the month March of 2002 Babuschka finished within 4 shows to become "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 titel on the biggest show in Germany; Dortmund and she got her final titel for: "German VDH Champion".

     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 her D-litter

D-litter 7 ˝ weeks

         

     On 5th of December 2002 Babuschka became mother for the second of 9 males from which 5 males (D-litter) stayed alive. Some of them were shown on a specialty and other shows. In the mean time Drágám Dirk had been rewarded for the healthresults of his hips (HD) and he was rewarded with HD A (Excellent). Also he became a father of 4 females in July 2004. Pictures of the dogs of the D-litter you can see at the page: "Family-album D-litter". 

 

        On 24th of May 2003 the unexpected happened: Alany on age of 7 ˝ years got her second litter (E-litter) after 5 years giving birth to her first litter (B-litter). Also Babuschka is from this first litter. The father was my male Betyar.  Alany showed herselfe again to be a wonderfull mother so it was a great joy to see this beautiful present. And also it was wonderfull to see Betyar once as a father.

     Because there was severall interest from abroad for the puppies of the E-litter the choice had been made to bring Élénk Rablö to England. He did his first show in juniorclass and he 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 the E-litter you can see on the page: "Family-album E-litter".

 

      In the spring of 2004 a litter had been planned with Multi Champion Babuschka Fehér Csavargo. Babuschka flew to California to meet her stud. And so she gave birth to a beautiful litter of 7 males and 2 females on the 5th June 2004.

     From this litter a very nice female stayed especially 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 also she got her first point for the Dutch Championtitel. In the meantime she grew up to be a female of excellent quality and she also became very succesful on shows. She has been rewarded with the titles: "Dutch Champion", "Belgium Champion", "Luxembourg Champion", "Belgium Winner 2006", "Siegerin Kassel 2006", "Hopqueen 2007" and "Crufts Winner 2007". Also a few males of this litter were on shows.

     After a very long time of thinking the finally decision had been made to do a final litter with Babuschka. A beautiful Hungarian male was found and 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.

Gyerek Balu has been rewarded with HD A and ED and OCD free and Gésa Leany also has been rewarded with HD A and OCD free. Gyerek Balu already has achieved some excellent results on shows.

     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 on 24th of November 2003 a wonderfull litter was born: 4 males and 6 females. From this litter a male, called Allando, 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 Floriana I came up with a very beautiful male. So on 2nd of January 2008 she got her first litter; the H-litter: 7 males and 3 females. There was again a large number of interested people from abroad and therefor some of the puppies went to: USA,  France, Danmark and Holland. The litter was a beautiful and homogenious litter.
