About us:
We started breeding dogs in 1973. our first litter was from a German shepherd female, we called her Pluto,
and the male was Kazan, they both lived a long and healthy life,then for a few years we had no dogs.
Living in the Wieringermeer we decided to take a new breed that was the Bouvier, That turned out to be a good choice,
After a while we were able to purchase a large piece of ground ( 10,000 m² ) and got all the necessary paperwork for
the licences to start an official Kennel, that was in 1983. Still working with the dogs, henk built a beautiful kennel .
In 1991 a friend from Amsterdam came to visit and he brought his new puppy with him, a lovely ugly looking female
with lots of loose skin, I had never seen one like it , and it actualy was a Neapolitan Mastiff,
we fell in love with her and after being without dogs in the house for a number of years Henk decidid to buy one too
In 1992 we bought our first female neo. we called her Nel.1 year later we bought our second female Dior v.Lunettenstein.
Not long after we bought our first maleNeo that was blond , he was bred in Belgium and named O'Maley. we took him to the
winnershow in 1993 in Amsterdam, there were 104 entries and he came out Best of Breed, in the main ring he came third on stage.
Between him and Dior we bred a litter, they were bornn on Christmas day 1993, 12 pups of which we kept the three females, who all did well at the shows.
Shortly after we bought two puppies a male Vito and female Angela v.Numado.
Vito is the main figure in our breeding as the great-great grandfather of nearly all our champions and World Champion 2003 Bagera v.d.Hestokamp.
Angela became a Dutch and International Champion and from her we also had two female champions.
Two years later we mated one of our first ownbred females 'Tina "with an Italian male named Bizzarro del Nolano, he was other than one thought a great dog,
From that litter we kept the male Lorenzo , from him we bred a litter and out of that we had James and Bizzarro v.d.Hestokamp who are very well known in Europe
rom then on we have achieved a great number of successes with our Neo's ,altogether until now 20 dutch Champions , 1 World Champion in 2003,
1 res. World Champion in 2006 in Poland and again in 2008 in Zweden and at nearly every Winner show Amsterdam we had either a Winner or 2 (and) a
youthwinner once we had 3 out of 4 wins at one show , that was in 2001.
In 2002 our James was Best of Breed at the Crufts show in Birmingham England
We have also bred a young lond male named Bizzaro v.d.Hestokamp, he was born a winnerat his first show in the puppyclass he was first in the breed and in the main
ring he was third place in the group, after that every show he went to he won, and in amsterdam two years in a row, in Zweden WDS he was res.CAC and Denmark also res.CAC
We are very particular about breeding Neapolitans dogs, we select the dogs on charachter and exterior, and also they must be healthy before we
breed with a couple if possible we have no more than two litters a year out of strictly selected parents.
