The 'Rocksett' kennel was founded in 1995, when Petra imported the 9 weeks old puppy Ch. Dewmist Crossmolina (Chanel) from Sweden. At the time she already owned two Golden males, Gregarious' Admiral Marigold (Chico) and his younger halfbrother Gregarious' Brandnew Adventure (Yanic). In 1996 the kennel registration took place and in 1998 the first 'Rocksett' litter was born with Chanel as the proud, caring mother.

Yanic passed away in 2003 at 11,5 years of age. Chico died in 2005, he lived to be 14 years and 6 months old. Both dogs are still treasured, sadly missed and will never be forgotten...

Ton and Marianne had their first Flatcoat pup in 2002, Ch. Wagging Tails Rolf Muntz (Joep). Two years later his halfbrother Wagging Tails Play Away Please (Indy) arrived. Petra and Marianne met for the first time in 2004 during a walk with their dogs in the forest of Amersfoort. Petra complimented Marianne on Joep's great looks and a short while later she was asked to show Joep; a true friendship grew and a collaboration started...

Nowadays we share the 'Rocksett' praefix* and all our Retrievers are groomed & handled by Petra. We are very proud of the results: our foundation bitch Chanel has a beautiful showcareer and becoming Dutch Veteran Champion at almost 11 years of age was a terrific crown! Joep is Dutch, Luxembourg and German VDH Champion and a multiple BOB- and BIG-winner. Indy needed lots of time to mature and hasn't been in the showring much, but he too has had some nice results. Our two youngsters Flair (JCh. Wagging Tails River Dee) and Yacime (JCh. Cheek to Cheek Beetlejuice) made an amazing start to their careers, both already are Juniorchampion and also gained a Crufts qualification at a young age, as well as their first CC's. Their future looks very promissing in show as well as work!

We keep our dogs as members of the family and they all have great active lifes (long walks, obedience- and fieldtrialtraining, showing). We are lucky to be surrounded by woods and swimming water, so there are many possibilities for our Retrievers to enjoy life to the fullest!
