I began working with dogs since my first dog a Mini Schnauzer Ivetta came into my life. 

Victoria already dreaming

 

I went to my first dogshow in 1997 and decided: "I become a handler and entered a "junior handler" school. Then I had to show dogs of different breeds and unfortunately my Ivetta died in 1999.

Very soon, after her  passing away a American Staffordshire Terrier Fraskita appeared in my life. Due to some defects I didn't go to exhibitions with it. But still took part in various JUNIOR HANDLER'S contests in which we had won several times.

Nevertheles I was still missing the fuss of dogs shows,lacked the excitement before the start. Therefore I participated in some of them with my friend's dogs but it was different. So I decided that I needed to buy

my own show dog that would have all the qualities necessary. It should not be a very big size, quite furry, joyful, social in just one word a universal dog.

 

So I started looking for such dog, talked to different breeders and finally chose an English Cocker Spaniel, because it had all the qualities I wanted my dog to have.

Eversince I have never regretted getting this dog. Since 2002 I have had my first English Cocker

- RUS IRENE'S YASHMA. She is a red bitch with very beautiful fur, well tempered, and strong spirited. She combines the blood of famous English kennels. This dog is the founder of STARTORI PASSIONS

breeding kennel. Althought it's a new breeding kennel and I am young, but i'll hope that my kennel 

will be popular and successful. I'll be working very hard for it.

I am very grateful to the people who helped me : Korobkov Irene and Vadim, Grigoreva Marina,

Orlova Lida, they taught me a lot about the dog and breeding.

 

I hope I will live up to their expectations and my dreams will become true.
