We are .....

              We are Karin and Steven van Viersen. We live with our four sons in the beautiful province Groningen in a very small town called Alteveer. We live in a farm with a wonderful piece of land.

               We got our dogs Cigány Asszony and Csenna in a very special way. Already in 2003 we heard that a good home was needed for two Kuvasz bitches. We thought it was an extraordinary chance to become owners of two beautifull dogs but with a move and long renovation ahead we didn't think it was wise to take the dogs at that time because we were afraid we couldn't pay enough attention to the dogs, to get used to the dogs and let the dogs get used to us. Later the owners of the dogs dicided to keep the dogs.

                Great was our happiness when about a year later the owners (because of divorce) decided to renounce the dogs. It was at the right time, the move and renovation were done and we had just finished building a large run for our dog. Cigány Asszony and Csenna were brought to us by the breeder of Cigány Asszony. Since then it seams like they have been with us always. They are wonderful dogs an we have absolutely no regrets.

                When we became interested in breeding with Cigány Asszony and Csenna, we x-rayed the dogs to look at their hips. Fortunately they both had great results. Cigány Asszony HD B and Csenna HD A. After that we had them tested for PRA (eye disease) and both ladies are PRA Free.

                After that we started to go to dogshows to get the needed results for approval by the Dutch Kuvasz Club. Our ladies got good results, you can take a look at them at showresults.

              In 2005 we had our A and B litter. From the A litter we kept Angyalka Aliz van de Viersenhoeve. She is a beautiful bitch, she now lives in the south of France and is enjoying her pension.

After that the C, D, E, F and G litter followed. From the D litter we kept Dasja but unfortunately she died in an accident. Than we kept Eszti from the E litter. She had a beautiful show carreer and gave us the beautiful G litter. She now lives in Brasil with kennel Kuvasz Prince Brasil. She will continue her carreer there.

For us this means the end of our Kuvasz breeding. We will now focus on the Grand Basset Griffon Vendéen.
