We are a small kennel, breeding Flat coated retrievers. We are situated in the city České Budějovice (Budweis), South Bohemia, Czech Republic, not far from the border with Austria.
The dogs from our kennel are quite successful so we won the Breeder of the Year award for the most successful breeder of Flat coated retrievers in years 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2019.
Currently we have two young breeding bitches, and two veteran bitches and one approaching veteran age, whom we don´t plan to mate any more and two stud dogs. We have 3 junior bitches.
Ike z Vlčích luk, the founding bitch of our kennel, died 8th March 2018 at the age of almost 13 years, her daughter Art´s Ginny Tercius died in August 2021 at the age 13,5 years.
Our goal is to produce puppies of good health and friendly character, with excellent working abilities and good show qualities. Our goal is to breed Flatcoats with a bit longer life expectancy, then usual. Oldest bitch died at almost 13 years and her daughter in 13,5 years and she was working uncredible 13 shooting seasons. Her brothers are also long living (only one died at 12,5). All our breeding dogs and bitches are HD negative (A/A) and all X-rayed offsprings are HD negative (A/A or A/B). Their ED results is negative as well, and they all have eyes free of hereditary disorders. No dog without excellent health results may enter to the breeding process in our kennel.
Aya (Ike z Vlčích luk) born 30. 5. 2005 was the founding bitch of our kennel. She is loving, friendly and lively, she loves children and was a gentle companion to my disabled mother.
She has never been a typical show dog, but she still was quite successful - several CACs, one res. CACIB and one CACIB, as well as four BOVs. She has the titles of Czech Champion and Czech Veteran Champion.
Our main focus is working with our dogs. Aya is a Working Champion of the Czech Republic, she has several CACTs, and she is an all-purpose retriever (and has right to use title "U", which means she completed the most difficult type of cold game competitions). She participated in two of the most prestigious cold game competitions; the Czech Derby 2011 (7th place and res. CACT) and the International Retriever Competition for all-purpose retrievers (7th place)
She gave birth to three healthy litters, the last one in 2012. Since then she is "retired" from breeding and competitions, but it doesn't mean that she's bored.She was working until 11,5 years picking up birds during shooting season. Last year she still loved to retrieve, but we have to spare her health.
Health: HD/A, eyer free from hereditary diseaase (at her young age the other health test were not common)
She died 8th March 2018 at the age of nearly 13 years.
Ginny (Art's Ginny Tercius) born 14.4. 2008 is very friendly and very faithful. She is a big girl, when she was very young, she was almost an "ugly duckling". But, like in the fairy tale, she has grown into a charming young lady. She has good bones, nice angulation and deep ribcage, but most of all, she has an excellent movement. She is a Czech Champion, but she hates the show ring, so we left shows for Ginny's true passion - work.
At the age of 14 month she participated in her first cold game competition. It was one of the competitions of the higher type and she passed with excellent grades. When she was 17 months old, she passed her all-purpose test and she also has the right to use the title "U". She is the only dog, who qualified for the International Retriever Competition (the most prestigious cold game competition in the Czech Republic) six times and her results were impressive. In 2010 she was second (only one point behind the winner) and she has three CACTs and two reserve CACTs from this competition alone. She also has three CACT, two reserve CACTs and four reserve CACIT from Field trials and numerous CACTs from cold game competitions.
Ginny had two litters of puppies. Now she is veteran, still enjoying work during the shooting season. This year it was her 12th.

She died in September 23rd, 2021 at the age of 13,5 years.
Derry (Cinderella Tercius) born 1.1.2011 is Ginny's daughter, the third generationof our dogs. She is a real beauty, at the age of 2 years she fulfilled the conditions for Czech Show Championship. Two years later she has completed the title Czech Grand Champion.
At the beginning she seemed to be a little shy, but as she was growing up, she showed her talent for work as well. She is also a Czech Working Champion and an all-purpose dog (“U”). She won 13th place at the International Retriever Competition and has one reserve CACT from Field Trial.
She has a lovely temperament and a very gentle personality, but she is very clever and innovative. In her first litter she had only one puppy. Three years later she had big litter, but the last puppy was stillborn and she developed severe infection. With the great effort we saved her life and we saved 8 of the 10 puppies.
Now, she is retired. She is in veteran age, retired, but still active during the shooting season. She raises her grandaughter Skye, grand granddaughter Laudie and lives happy life.

She passed almost all types of the cold game tests, She is "U"for an allpurpose dog. She has several CACTs an twice she was winner af the competition.
