When our family decided that we needed a dog, we did not think long about the right breed for us. We fell in love with the first English cocker we met. The beauty, intelligence and complex character of an English cocker bought it a way into our hearts. Our first cocker, black Jeffry Thornfield (by Sabrin Ellington) came to live with us from Riga in 1990. At that time we lived in Klaipeda, Lithuania. Less than a year after, Ariana Hichcock (daughter of famous champion Vedelta's Golddigger) joined our team. She is a mother of Flash Jennifer, Flash Aristokrat, Ferrari iz Sverkajushego Mira (we registered our current kennel name in 1997). In 1992 I exported a blue-roan dog Flaming On Glate Halton (Tori) from Lithuania. We mated Ariana to him and this combination produced Flash Aristokrat, my wonderful Astor, an overall balanced dog with an ideal cocker character and wonderfully chiseled head. Twice Astor became the Best In Show dog at all-breed shows (judges Svetlana Druzhinina and Galina Bardeyeva) and, the most importantly, his progeny group won progeny group competition three times at National and Regional all-breed shows. His puppies also demonstrate very high results in show rings.

Many of them finished their championships, won group and Best in Show placements and gained CACIB certificates. His son Bredford (owned by Inna Zhadanova) was the best party-color cocker at the National Spaniel Club Speciality in 2001 (judge Rosmarie Wild) & the best cocker at the National Spaniel Club Speciality in 2005. I also kept two of Astor's puppies in our kennel: Diamond iz Sverkajushego Mira (RU CH, 3 CCs from Regional Breed Specialties, BIG, BIS, CACIB, 3BISJ, 3BISP) and Margaritka iz Sverkajushego Mira (RU CH, 2 CCs from Regional Breed Specialties, BIG).

Both of them finished the title of Champion of Russia at 2 years old. They were born as a result of close inbreeding (2-2) on Ariana Hichcock.

In 2000 I became the owner of a great solid red couple, Belworth Sicret Service (Lev) and Rus Hefrier Welentane (Lisa). Lev is a compact well-balanced male with lots of bone and excellent movements. He is a Champion of Russia and Champion of National Club. The judge Tamara Sarmont from Byelorussia said that he is exceptionally beautiful. Lisa has a very beautiful head, good bone and angulation. She is a Champion of Russia, gained 3 CCs at Regional Breed Specialties and a res. CACIB. They won the brace competition at all-breed shows thee times. The newest member of our family is Bon Liri Arletta (Runa) bred by Inna Zhadanova. I saw this little girl and could not resist her charms. A few days later she found a place in our home and our hearts. She already won three Junior CCs and became Best in Show Puppy and reserve BIS Junior.

I base my breeding on careful selection of dams and sires. The main criteria that help me to make the choice - beautiful and correct head, good movements and overall balance. I do not rush to mate my bitches with famous champions, because I am well aware of the consequences of such selection. I have been a president of a local kennel club branch for 10 years. Most of our dogs live in the country and only come to town during the show season. The eldest dogs in our kennel, Flaming of Glate Helton and Flash Jennifer were old respectively after winning a title of Best In Show Veteran.
