Like many, I grew up surrounded by dogs. At home, we always had Great Danes and German Shepherds. The idea that I would one day become a breeder only came when we emigrated to Hungary more than 20 years ago.

Great Danes

My very first litter of Great Danes was a success, but true achievement comes only with experience, study, and dedication. Of course, a little luck also helps. In all modesty, I can say that my F-litter was one of the best among Great Danes. From this litter came the International Champion bitch Coeur de Lion d’Hongrie Fortuna 4 U Finland, Junior World Champion in 2016, who also earned numerous titles across Scandinavia. Her littermate, Multi-Champion Coeur de Lion d’Hongrie Faramir, achieved great success in South America, twice placing 2nd in the open class at the World Dog Show in the Netherlands (2018), and was recognized as the Best Blue Great Dane in Argentina in 2016, 2017, and 2018.

VEOs

I was also the first official VEO breeder in Hungary. Over the years, we were fortunate to have some very expressive males, now enjoying their well-earned retirement. These “stamp males” left a strong mark on their offspring. One such dog is Coeur de Lion d’Hongrie Rollo the Viking, who now lives in Finland as an official stud.

Cairn Terriers

In recent years, we decided to stop breeding Great Danes and VEOs to focus entirely on Cairn Terriers. This decision has already brought us many proud moments. For example, Coeur de Lion d’Hongrie Marzipan was named Cairn Terrier of the Year 2019 in Finland. Our stud dog Coeur de Lion d’Hongrie Omega also lives in Finland, producing excellent offspring, while Coeur de Lion d’Hongrie Quincy Has More Fun lived in the Netherlands with breeder Yvonne van den Bogert. Now, he lives in Canada.

Today, our Cairn Terrier descendants can be found in many countries, including the Netherlands, Finland, Hungary, Sweden, and the United States.

Breeding Philosophy

My love for Cairns originated from my sister, who once had a Cairn puppy. I was fascinated by this little dog with the “Napoleon complex” and soon immersed myself in studying the breed. Before long, the first Cairn Terrier joined our kennel.

Our puppies are raised in the home and become familiar with everyday household sounds such as the vacuum cleaner, television, and the barking of other dogs. As they grow, they are carefully integrated into the pack. For us, health and the breed standard are priorities — our bitches are between 29 and 30 cm tall, in line with the standard — but character is just as important. After all, who would want a dull companion? 🙂

When it comes to finding homes, I personally match each puppy with its future family. We always take into account the wishes and lifestyle of the new owners, ensuring the best fit. Thanks to this careful approach, not a single puppy from our kennel has ever had to be rehomed or ended up in a shelter.

Memberships

I have been a member of MEOESZ-FCI since 2005 and, since 2024, I am also fully registered with the Kennelliitto.
