Marianne Skøtt Jespersen
Denmark
I am Marianne Skøtt Jespersen from Denmark and my affix is Gembaek. My beginning in the dog world started back in 1978 when I bought my first dog, a Golden Retriever of course.
This girl was of the old fashioned type. My first litter was born in 1980 – and in 1982 I got my affix Gembaek. The dogs I have today all goes back to the foundation bitch I bought in Sweeden back in the 1990 , Goldsands Sonnet of Music from the Goldsands kennel, in 1992 I breed my first full champion from that bitch, and have since breed several multi champions,many national champion titles throughout Europa , Junior World Winner, European Winner.
To me the Golden Retriever is defined by a balanced silhouette , without any exaggerations, it covers the ground with ease and grace, and has that gentle spark in the eyes, while still have the biddable temperament suited for a real gundog. I aim to keep the soundness and biddable temperament in my breeding. I am very dedicated to this fantastic breed which I have had the pleasure to judge in several countries and England since I got my judging license in 2004. My dogs are all treasured family members, and I enjoy equally the beach walks with the whole bunch , as the weekends at the dog shows. I am very honored to get the invitation to be judging Bitches at the WDS in Helsinki in August ,
