About Elbe-Urstromtal

The affix “aus dem Elbe-Urstromtal” is as wellknown in the dogworld as the big “M” of McDonalds. The year 1973 brought me my first litter so that makes me breeding for almost 40 years. Since 2007 I life together with my husband Harry in Maaseik, Belgium. For almost 40 year, I have bred hundreds of pure Old English Sheepdogs and I am still going on.

Since 1988 I also breed Bearded Collies. For more information about Firstprizebears-Beardies, you can go to the website.

The history of my kennel started in 1971 when I finally was able to have my own dog. With Cora vom Glinder Berg I did my first show and 2 years later I bred my first litter.

Since 1971 my life is ran by dogs. We keep between 6 and 10 dogs, of which 6 or 7 own and the rest are visitors. To breed with 2 different breeds is not always simple. Normally we have two litters of Bobtails and 2 of Bearded Collies per year. So our weeks are always filled.
