About Us

We are Joop, Els and Debby de Graaf. We live in Västra Ämtervik, Sweden, together with our dogs. We are originally from the Netherlands, but moved to Sweden in 2022.

We have always had dogs in our lives and before we got our first English Springer Spaniel in 1999, we used to have English Cocker Spaniels.

We started breeding in 2011. In 2016 we decided that we wanted to start a new chapter – create our own bloodline of Springers who are true to type, happy and healthy. This was when we decided to import Flynn (Crackerjanne Court Favour) from the United Kingdom. In 2018 we imported Lyndi (Barecho Hallelujah Moment) from Sweden. Almost a year later we had the opportunity to bring Cosby (Barecho Choose Me Or Lose Me) to the Netherlands as well. At around the same time when we brought Cosby to the Netherlands, we got Bibi (Sense And Sensibility Tamaam) from Poland. She was Debby’s long awaited own dog. End of 2019 we also imported Asia (Tenderness Tamaam).
With Flynn, Cosby, Lyndi, Bibi and Asia, we are looking ahead at what hopefully will be a bright future.

The dogs are an important part of our family and our every day life. We like to go on long walks and we always take at least two dogs with us on holidays.
In 2011 Joop and Els started breeding Springers, but slowly Debby became part of it as well. We are very active within the breed and always working on our vision and our plans. One of the three of us is always at home when the others go on holidays. We have a big property with fields and our own forests were the dogs can play and race around as much as they like.

Our aim is to breed healthy, happy English Springers Spaniels who are true to standard, and make sure they find their right forever homes. Breeding is our hobby, and we generally breed three litters a year. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Mother nature has her own way of planning things sometimes.
We care deeply about the wellbeing of our dogs and our puppies. This starts with meeting potential puppy owners up front, giving updates about the pregnancy and birth, but also staying in touch and providing information and answers after the puppies have moved to their new owners. We would like to stay in touch throughout the puppies’ lives and offer a free first groom as well.

We breed show Springers. All puppies will be vaccinated, microchipped, wormed, and come with a pedigree, bag of food and an European pet passport. Our puppies are born in our living room and stay there until they move to their new owners.

Points of attention towards potential puppy owners are:
– homely environment
– preferably a home on the ground floor
– space for walking around or near to the house
– combination of alone time of the dog and work schedule of the owners

We are members of the Springerklubben, SSRK and SKK. Our kennel is registered with the SKK and the FCI and is approved with all required permits by Länsstyrelsen Värmland.
