Annica Högström / Karin Brostam Berglund / Lena Rösiö
Our kennel is founded on the deep friendship and the  big interest in all aspects of dogs that we all share. We became friends in the late 70's and have since then worked and spent time together to develop what today is the Don's kennel.

Lena, Annica & Karin

Annica lives with her family just outside Uppsala. She grew up with a Welsh springer, and the Clumbers came to stay in the 80's. The prefix- Don's - originates from her first own Welsh springer, Don Pedro. Pedro also got her interested in all aspects of dogs.

Her interest in dogs has, beside the breeding, led to several functions in the Swedish Welsh Springer Spaniel Club and the Swedish Clumber Spaniel Club- including as chaiman, breeder's advisor and secretary. She has also competed in agility, tracking, field trials and most of all at shows. Today she splits her time between her family, the dogs and her own company  Himla.

Karin got her first dog, the Clumber Sportis, when she was a teenager. Together they started an active life competing in several  diciplines- with all from good to disasterous result. One of Sportis' progenies later became Annica's first clumber, and the take-off of a long lasting friendship.

Karin and her family live in the countryside outside the village Knutby, with woods and lakes around their house.

She has had numerous positions in several clubs over the years - editor of the breed club magazines , show secretary and chairmain in SSRK/Östra, chairman and breeder's advisor in both the Swedish Welsh Springer and Clumber Spaniel-clubs. Her interest in breeding matters and the health of dogs is huge, and Karin has been a member of  the breeding committe of both the Swedish Spaniel and Retriever Club and the Swedish Kennel Club for several years.

Karin is a judge at championship show level, authorized by the Swedish Kennel Club, of a number of Spaniel breeds. She has judged in Scandinavia, Australia and the US.

Lena lives in a white house in Vassunda outside Knivsta. She got her first Welsh springer the day after her graduation, and ever since there have  been dogs in the house - Welsh springers, Clumbers, an English cocker and nowadays Flat coated retrievers. She was a founder member of the Swedish Welsh Springer Spaniel Club, and the first editor of the club's magazine- Welsh Nytt. She has also worked in the Show committe of SSRK and the Swedish Clumber Spaniel Club.

Mainly interested in working and showing, she has still also has competed in  both tracking and obedience. Before she joined the Don's kennel in 2008 she bred a few litters under the prefix Bachtus.
