Fifty two years ago I bought my first Great Dane an yellow female with which I bred my first litter. I have been raised with dogs (boxers and bulldogs) because my parents had already dogs. They had a very well know kennel.
I myself have bred in 52 years a lot of Great Danes under the name of “ Von Haus vom Steraldted” mostly yellow and brindle, and at this moment only black and harlequin.
I have only one litter a year.
My dogs became Dutch, Belgium, France, German, International, European Champion and I have bred a World Champion.
I have been President of the Dutch Great Dane Club (NNDC) for 6 years and a member of this club of 51 years. I also have been President of the Dutch Molosserclub (25 years), of the Dalmationclub and American Cocker club.
In 1982 I was getting my judging licenses for the Leonberger and my second breed was the Great Dane. I am at this moment FCI group II judge and judge for some breeds in group IX and in group V the American Akita.
Throughout the years I have judged many specialties of several breeds all over Europe, America, Canada and Indonesia. I also have judged World dog shows, European Dog Shows, Bundessiegers, Europasiegers and also Best in Group II.
Great Danes have a special interest for me and besides judging at National and International Shows in lots of countries I also have judged specialties of the Great Dane in Italy, Belgium, Germany, France, Spain, Poland, Danemark, Finland, England, Hungary, Russia, Lithuania , Norway, Spain and Portugal. I also have judged severall EUDDC shows.
I find it a great honor to get the opportunity to judg the Great Danes in at the World Dog Show
I wish the organization and al the Great Dane owners a successful and a nice show.
