My life with dogs started in1969 with Dalmatians. My first dog was FI & SE Sh Ch & FI OB CH Jennifer. I bred the first litter from her 1971. The prefix Caballus referes to the latin name of  horse (Equus caballus). I bred totally four Dalmatian litters under my Caballus-prefix.

My first Curly Coated Retriever was INT & FI & DK CH Darelyn Tamara. She was born in 1986 at Mrs Audrey Nicholls's famous kennels in England and was sired by breed record CC-holder and multi BIS-winner Ch Darelyn Rifleman. Tamara whelped 3 times. The first litter (Caballus C-litter) by INT CH Darelyn Vincent, second A.I. with frozen semen from Australia, CH Ladybrow Bolshan (just one puppy), third litter by FI OB & TR & SH CH Blazeaway Out Foraduck, who was imported 1989 from Mrs Viki Knowles, Australia. This is Caballus Out for a -litter.

Caballus Electra has had a litter by INT CH Caballus Fair Dinkum. This litter of 3 puppies produced C.I.B GB CH Caballus Grand Slam who spent his first years of life living with his grand and greatgrandsire in the UK. He had a great show and working career in England during those 2,5 years. He went on winning BIS at the BCCRC Champ Show in 1997 and gained Full Ch title before reaching 2-years of age He came back home to Caballus in July -99. Electra's next litter resulted from AI with chilled semen from Multi Ch Multi W CH Cornish Marksman from Holland. This litter produced three dogs, all champions. Caballus Kingfisher would go on to be the second Caballus bred Full Champion Curly Coated Retriever in England.

In 1997 I imported my first Gordon Setter from Australia: Triseter Ebonie Nerissa. Nerissa was bred in 1999 to Ch Shannas Journalist, an English bred dog in Italy. This AI produced 13 puppies! The most successful dog from this Gordon litter was INT & IT CH GB Sh CH Caballus Ebonie Adonis Ludstar who in 2016 is still the breed record holder (males) with 36 CC's. Nerissa was shown in England at the Gordons in 2000. Handled by her breeder Esther Joseph she won Best Bitch with CC and Best Opposite in Show. Later a Gordon male Triseter Ebonie Scot was imported together with Anne Hentunen. This was the start of her successful Goango Kennels.

I have also bred Jack Russell Terriers, out of Baylock lines and Blazeaway Kennels from Australia.

The Caballus Curlies have done so much winning (Groups at international shows, not to forget the only BIS winning Curly in Finland, C.I.B. Caballus Road Runner) that it is impossible to put it all here, but the latest and one of the greatest wins lately was when Caballus Iron Lion - handled by myself - won BOB at Cruft's 2016.
