Sea Dreamer's
our Story

The sables

Early 1990 I made a kennel tour with Ruud Santen (Mountbatten) through the United Kingdom. At the British Collie Club Championship Show we were both very impressed with the later Champion Mirpet She’s no Lady and her young daughter Mirpet Tilly Tantrum. If we had been the judges on that day we would have done what Jimmy Tait did a week later at the Welsh Collie Club – award them the reserve CC and CC respectively! They were gorgeous! We made up our minds and wrote to Pete and Miriam Marsh that we would be interested to buy a dog and a bitch from Tilly’s first litter. That’s how Champion Mirpet Red Baron and his sister Mirpet Diana Rigg came to live in Holland. Unfortunately Diana Rigg never produced a litter.

I decided to use Red Baron for the first litter of Baden Court Kiss and be Friends (Chanel). From this mating resulted a 3-1 sable litter. Most influential was to become Sea Dreamer’s I’m Maikel whom I sold to Martina Wurfel in Germany (Von Belvedere). With Martina’s Malouine’s Spread Your Wings he produced the lovely Champion New Line von Belvedere.

Chanel’s next litter was with the French Champion Edward de la Bergerie des Quatre Vents a son of the famous Pelido King’s Counsel and a grandson of Mallicot Super Trooper and in the possession of Christine Bisconte (des Marecages du Prince). I was particularly
 pleased with Edward’s offspring from different bitches. He didn’t let me down.            
 The litter was born in 1994 – 2 dogs and 3 bitches and proved to be very successful both in the show ring and in breeding.

Sea Dreamer’s Lord Shogun moved into the Belgium kennel Silver’s Inspiration of Anny and Ger Snopkowski. With Baden Court Urswell (Champion Amalie Best Bitter ex Badencourt Still Smiling, a daughter of Chanel’s sister Baden Court Keep Smiling) he produced the very successful champion Silver’s Inspiration Undisputed.

Sea Dreamer’s Satin Dream (Sara) also went to a Belgium breeder – Mr. and Mrs. De Smaele (Von Dikalie). Sara was to be very successful on the shows. She qualified as Junior World Champion at the World Show in 1995, won the bitch ticket at the Dutch Collie Club Championship Show in1996 and eventually qualified as Dutch champion.

When she was mated to champion Jonny Von Dunnwalder Busch (by Jackaroo ex a Red Baron daughter) I was able to get a puppy back: Underworld von Dikalie.

Sea Dreamer’s Gold Dust (Storm) went to Jos Ourth and Willy van den Akker who than had become partners in the Slatestone kennels. In short time Storm became Luxembourg Youth Champion and Europa Jugendsieger.

From this litter I myself retained Sea Dreamer’s Wicked Game (Jackie) who proved to be invaluable for my further breeding!
As always I kept looking around for different lines and sires in order to keep a broad breeding base. I feel too many people stick to what they have got and to what is familiar to them. Many breeders that way breed themselves into a corner. I strongly believe that without trying and taking chances now and than the breed will know no progress. I feel very fortunate that in those years I have been able to buy Champion Silvermoor’s Highland Chief
from Doris Mortiboy. Over the years he has proven to be an asset for the breed with lots of successful offspring all over Europe.

For Jackie’s first litter I decided to use Ted. From this litter Sea Dreamer’s Sammy Jo went to  Germany. She quickly gained her German Youth title. I repeated this mating in 1998. Sea Dreamer’s Desert Sky (Roger) went to Ka’llay Krisztina of the Most Majestic prefix in Hungary where he was shown to his Sea Dreamer’s Sammy Jo
Hungarian title. Roger is from the same type as Sammy Jo, both tend more after their mother being gold sables. They both excel in construction and movement. Sea Dreamer’s Handsome Dutch Boy (Romeo) moved with his owners Dick and Jolanda de Groot to Canada where he gained his Canadian championship title. Romeo goes more after his father as far is type is concerned; he too is a dark sable.
