From birth Sandra has been surrounded by animals, she literally and figuratively grew up with them. There was always a dog, cats, pigeons, chickens, fish, guinea pigs, rabbits and the rest that were looking for a warm home. She has also always had horses and bred a foal with a number of mares. Dogs have always been part of her life. Tom and Sandra met each other among the horses.
In 2012 we were looking for a Dalmatian and that is how we ended up with Anita and Freek from kennel “of the three Turnip’s”. We clicked very well and we became friends. Because Anita really wanted to have dachshunds next to her Dalmatians, she founded the kennel name “van Corvus Corax” in 1981. In the 80s Anita was married to Rinus de Raaf, unfortunately he passed away but thanks to him we borrow our kennel name. The Latin name for raven is corvus corax. She has bred a number of litters with the dachshunds Trees (Trés chique de Attacant), Jantje, Toos and Teuntje. After this, the kennel name disappeared into the fridge for a while. In the meantime, Muts (Magic rainbow Mata Hari) had made her entrance and we immediately fell in love with her and the breed. From Muts' first litter, we kept Poes (Crème Anglaise The one and only). In 2013, Anita and I decided to bring the kennel name "van Corvus Corax" back out of the stable and I am also allowed to breed under this flag. Tom, Sandra's husband, applied for his own kennel name in 2017, "van de Duijnrug" and this was also approved.
We do our utmost to breed healthy, sweet, beautiful and social puppies.
