We are Gerrit-Jan and Regina van Dijk, we are
both from the year 1970. We have two sons and live in
Scherpenzeel in the
province Gelderland. We are here in the middle of the Gelderse Valley, that’s
why
we have enough woods and moors to walk and play with our dogs.
In Regina’s life the love for collies began early. From her baby time on there
was a collie in the family
household and she was sleeping with the dog often. Gerrit-Jan didn’t get to know the collie well until
1993 when we bought our
first pup , a dark sable bitch who listens to the name Mandy.
When Regina was learning to became a dog trainer, she went to shows to get
knowledge about breeds. It was
there that it happened, she saw a Blue Merle for
the first time and she was sold immediately.
She didn’t
look at other
breeds that day and so she came into contact with Miranda. She really
wanted to
come on there list for a pup and that was possible. You do understand
that that made her day.
A few weeks later the telephone call she had been waiting for came and Miranda
told her that the pups had been born. For us there was a Blue Merle bitch. We
could hardly wait to go and have a look, they were all beautiful. We often went
to visit the pups until they were eight weeks old and then she could come home
with us; our beautiful Laika.
In 2003 it was the first time that we breed a litter with Laika, from which we
kept
a tricolour bitch and she listens to the name Abbey ( see the photo’s of
the A-litter)

Our collies live in our home and
are in the first place company dogs. That’s why we have a litter only now and
than,
but then according to the norms of the S.V.H. The Collie club. We also
train with the dogs among others
E.G., V.E.G.
and Agility. The dogs especially
like Agility, it’s a real recommendation for people who want to
be active in a
pleasurable way with their dogs.
We are very happy with our collies and hope to enjoy them for a long time!!
We wish you much pleasure and fun in watching and reading our site.
