Dear ms. Bollinger,

I hope you understand English, as my German is rather too bad to make myself understood.

The reason I send you this mail is because I want to thank you for our wonderful, beautiful dog Sari. You don’t know me, and I know you will not recognize the name of the dog, so I will tell you her ‘real’ name and how she became our dog.

Sari is called Wetterleuchten vom Schloss Hellenstein, and she was born from Irma la Duce and Marquell Ment To Be For Her on 20-11-2009. When she came to us her name was Ari, but since that is such a boy’s name in Dutch, and she is a real lady, we called her Sari.

Our Jack Russel terrier we had for 14 years died last year on the 29^th of april, and my husband and I, but especially our other dog, a male cross between a Dachshund and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel were very sad. We decided to search for a grownup bitch. We searched in several breeds, one of them being the cocker. We found Sari needed a new home because her owner wanted to breed her, but her results weren’t good enough in show. I can’t imagine why, because to us she is such a beauty. She gets along very well with our other dog, and she is the stabile leader he needs so bad. For me she was a real help to get over the loss of our Jack Russel, and she really is my dog now. We’ve had her since the first of june last year, and she really is a part of our family.

We live in a small village in Holland, we have a free standing house with a big garden, I am an instructor in a dog school and I am learning to become a dog therapist for problem behavior, so I really love to work with dogs. We walk in the countryside or in a forest every day, and Sari swims a lot (it’s hard to stop her from doing that, but why should I as long as we have clean water and towels at home). I included some pictures of her.

I don’t know if you like to know where your dogs go, but I do want to thank you for breeding this little beauty of ours!

Greetings from us,

Krista te Vaanholt
