About Hedehuset

When people hear or read the word ”Kennel”, they sometimes think of dogs in cages and big enclosures. But a kennel can be a lot of things. Like most breeders with a very limited number of litters each year, our puppies are born and raised in our livingroom. It means, that our dogs live together with us in the house. They eat, play and sleep under the same roof as the rest of the family. But as kennel, and as breeders, we are something else and more than ordinary dog-owners. We have a far bigger responsibility towards the breed in general and to our dogs and their descendants in particular.
Because we take this very seriously, our politics are always to breed for healthy and beautiful dogs, that are typical for their breed in body as well as in personality.

The two-legged familymembers are Mete, Bjarne and Mike Joshua.
The kennelname "Hedehuset" is owned by Mete, but the breeding, the shows and the daily joys and love for all of our dogs is shared by all in the family.
As already pointed out, our dogs live with us in the house. In this way they are a part of our lives, and we are a part of theirs. This is very important to us when breeding "primitive" types, because their instincts and their natural reservations towards humans could otherwise get in the way of a happy life as loving and beloved family pets.

We are, of course, members of DKK (the Danish Kennel Club). We are also members of Spidshundeklubben (a specialclub under DKK/FCI). Mete is the representative of both Volpino Italiano and Xoloitzcuintle here in Denmark.

If you are interested in getting a puppy from Kennel Hedehuset, please read the "Buying a puppy" first. It describes in detail how we sell our puppies and what conditions we have for purchase of a puppy from our breeding. If you have any questions that are not answered on this page, then please do not hesitate to e-mail us for further information :-)

	Too much creativity can make a man very tired.... Then it is good to gather new strength resting with a couple of warm soft puppies!
On our way to Portugal to bring home a new puppy... (do we need to say more)
	On our way to Italy to mate a female with an Italian owned male. We always saw this as a wonderful thing for everybody in the family - travelling to a show, taking a trip to bring home a new puppy, or going somewhere to get a bitch mated with a good male.
In a way it all started right here... Mete (no kiddin') in the early 70' - with some of the family pups
