Izzy

In 2021, we, Britta and Matthijs, welcomed our Hovawart puppy, Micona Coconut Cream, affectionately known as 'Izzy,' into our lives. We drove back from Sallins, County Kildare to the sunny South of Ireland with our new family member, ready to embark on our next adventure.

Izzy's father, Castlemary Druid, or 'Guinness,' was a renowned show dog, winning titles across Europe and being crowned a Crufts, European, and World champion multiple times. Izzy shares her father's love for the show ring, always announcing her arrival with loud barks as soon as we reach the show grounds. In just two and a half years, she earned enough green stars to become both a Junior and an Irish Champion, and she qualified for Crufts four times. (2022/23/24/25)

Outside the ring, Izzy enjoys long beach walks, chasing seagulls, and using her nose to find tasty treats. She truly is the perfect family companion.

Amora

Meet the second lady of our house, the sweet black and golden Mori! Officially named Brandanerhof Amora, she was the 7th puppy out of 10 from our Izzy's first litter, born on March 8, 2024, at 19:29. Mori, like all her siblings, has a heart-warming and charming character. She has a great nose for scents and the typical Hovawart love for alerting us when someone new arrives.

Mori is currently being trained in ring craft and has already won a couple of Best Puppy of Breed awards at shows here in Ireland. She is now qualified for Crufts 2025, along with three of her siblings and, of course, Mummy Izzy. Exciting times ahead!
