Kennel Bimbik's is a small hobby-based
kennel.
My name is Katrin Juurak and I was born in 1982.
I have studdied and worked as nurse in veterinary clinics in Estonia and in Finland
and have lead puppy training classes.
Nowerdays I work in Veterinary Medicine Company in Estonia as products specialist and client manager.
My hobby is dog behavior. I have taken part in seminars
and conferences about animal behavior and most of my books
at home are about this subject.
Also my big hobby is winter sports, passion from school
time.
|
| My
team at home is at the moment quite small, because of life
changes.
All my dogs have the status of family members.
They play a big part in my everyday life and surely have
their well earned special place in my heart.
I couldn't imagine any other life than life with dogs.
My friends say they can't imagine me without dogs.

Life have brought us at the moment to Finland. But our home is still in South-Estonia,
near Viljandi.
Viljandi is an ancient city situated on a hill by a beautiful
lake.
The heart of Viljandi beats in an ancient rhythm.
The rhythm is slightly mysterious and it carries you away
with itself.
This rhythm contains the past, the present and the future,
creation and preservation.
It represents centuries of live in this place, its strong
cultural history and old traditions |
My goal is to breed healthy
English Springers and Clumber Spaniels, not forgetting that
they should please the eye and have the correct wonderful
“spaniel” temperament!
I only breed from dogs that have been screened for breed
relevant health problems, i.e. hips and eyes.
I also strive to that all Bimbik's bred dogs will be hip
scored and eye-checked, these tests will be done before
the dog turns two years. |

We breed one or two litter a year.
The puppies are raised in a normal home environment with
love, for loving homes only.
The new owner of a Bimbik's puppy will always be carefully
guided for this life-long relationship and I will always
be there for my precious ones, for the rest of their lives.
I enjoy the continued co-operation with my puppy buyers
very much and I hope it will turn out to a mutual benefit.

The
English Springer Spaniel is definitely "my breed" as I admire
it's health, temperament, versatility and handy size.
I have felt very privileged to be able to co-operate with
some of the most dedicated top-breeders of the breed from
the very beginning.
I've been blessed with good friendships and talented mentors
as well as some of their magnificent bloodlines, which have
given a kick for the start of Bimbik's Springers and Clumbers.

With
special gratitude I want to mention “my breeder” and good
friend Mia Humell (kennel
Bogaloo's), who entrusted me with the Springers and
my foundation bitches, and who helped me start my own breeding
with such an interesting litter!
The same thanks go also to Charlotte Marqvartsen (kennel
Charmarq's ) and Minna Varonen (Kennel
Goldensmile). |

And last but not least I of course
must thank Mairi Siimon (kennel
Terra Antyda ), who introduced me to the show dog
world, my good friends Birgitta and Hakan Johansson (kennel
Mellows) who have always helped me and also Heidi
Karves (kennel
Karvin) where I got very good practical experience
to start my own breeding.
|
My sincere thank you goes also to my parents, work colleges
and friends, who have been so understanding and helped
me through bad times and good times.
