M A N R O S E Old English Sheepdogs

Foundation of our kennel

Our kennel name is a creation of our first names. Trademark registered by FCI in 1992.

We had the idea to start our breeding-program with two different lines. Like this we could get a wide starting basis and make use of the different criteria.

We chose a bitch from the Vigilat’s kennel, who had a very interesting pedigree with dogs who were fortunate to have a compact body, impressive coat and typical expression.

The second bitch came from England out of the Bobbington Kennel. We had seen her parents at Crufts and were thrilled by them.

Out of this combination we received a very typy bitch with outstanding movement, superb shoulder placement, darkest eyes and very impressive jacket .

Both bitches became Multi Champions with great success at the most important shows in the whole of Europe. We tried to find them matching breeding partners, who fulfilled our strict requirements and who we thought would be the perfect match.

Sometimes we had to make several days journey to the stud dog’s home, but we always kept in mind our breeding goal, to breed dogs who are healthy, with good temperament and who comply closely to the breed standard.
Years later we were able to make a combination of the offspring from both lines and were very excited by the result.

In the offspring we could identify the lineage of these wonderful bitches.
