We are Ralf and Conny Malz, both born 1967/68 and we lives with our Flats in a suburb from Kassel, our hometown. Kassel is a city in the middle of Germany, surrounded by hills and mountions, with a river and some small lakes in the area. Conny and I are working for the goverment in different tasks.
Our Kennel Affix is "Beautyfield´s".
Conny makes agility, dummy work and also shows our dogs. She is the brain at our Kennel. I´m hunter and hunting dog judge and so I´ve train our dogs as gundogs, go to huntingtests and to hunt. Since 2002 , I teach a course for hunting dogs at a hunting dog club in Kassel the Kassel Area.
Since 2003 I´m judge for Hunting tests in the German Hunting Society (JGHV).
After finishing our problems with the German Retriever Club (DRC) for the Kennel Clubs law comitee at the 31. Oct. 2008, our Kennel will look forward for the future. Conny is now member of the German Retriever Club too, and also inhebitor of the kennel affix.

Coco has had her first litter in breeding right by our friend B.M. Mallfors which has breed with her in 2006 and we had done the first litter under our affix "Beautyfield´s" with CH Wagging Tails Rolf Muntz. We hope that we can make the breeders of our foundation dogs proud of us.
Our B-Litter was in Spring 2010 with Coco´s daughter, our liver Champion Bitch, CH Calebris For Your Eyes only.
She was mated with S(u)CH Kvicksans Hole in One - " Jerry". A young male which lives in the near of Uppsala and is related to Skrallan over his father, CH Black Micas That´s enough "Sune" - an outstanding male at the moment in Sweden, owned by our friend/ breeder Linda Edberg. More you can see under Breeding/B-Litter. The puppies was named after "Fasion Labels" and we take Beautyfield´s Balmain from that litter.
Our breeding ideals are breeding real "Dual Purpose Dogs". Excellent dogs after the FCR Standard, which aren´t blame herself in the showring on the one side and be sucessful at working, huntingtests an maybe sometimes in the future fieldtrails. But for work it´s nescessarier for us that they have good hunting dogs and not only sport-dogs.
Our dogs since we started are:
Merlin was the first Flatcoated Retriever, who entered our life in 1996, followed by his sister Leá. This changed our life forever. Merlin died in spring 2005 of cancer, Lea goes over the rainbowbridge in spring 2009 with 13 years.
What started with a nice pet for my wife, changed in a really fast way, to a great hobby for me and my wife. First the dogs, than the shooting licence, hunting dog training for the dogs and me, agility training for Leá and my wife and the growing wish of breeding black and liver Flatcoated Retriever with excellent working talent in a few years.
In 1998 we got GER CH / VDH CH Camwood Randy the Copper Rebell, our joker, breed by Sven and Andrea Gmür´s Camwood Kennel, from Switzerland. He was a liver stud dog, with excellent results in German shows and work. Randy has been put to sleep at the age at 12 years and 9 month because of age problems. He couldn´t walk anymore.
In 2002 we got a nice black girl from Britt-Marie Mallfors and Calle Klippmarks Calebris Kennel in Sweden.
Int U CH/ GER CH / VDH CH / Lux.CH/ Ö CH/ Polnish Ch Calebris Coco Beautyfield Mousse. She is a pretty, happy and workaholic girl, which absolved several Gun Dog test on first placements and has Championtitles from Germany, Luxembourg, Austria, Poland. In Sweden and Switzerland she was shown with sucess.
Coco have had her first litter by Calebris Kennel in Sweden called BOND litter in spring 2006. After the loose of Almanza I´m on Fire which was the first choice (we´ll always remember this great dog), 2nd choice was his son´, Starworker´s Dancer in the Dark, owned by S. Winter/Flatcastle in the Netherlands and breed by Helle Nielsen from Denmark. And her 2nd with MultiChampion Wagging Tails Rolf Muntz.
From that litter we get "CH (VDH) Calebris for your eyes only" called Smilla or sometimes Grinch. Smilla got her German Champion title in March 2009. She has although sucessful absolved several hunting tests. The VJP in spring 2007, a vildspur beginner test with Godkänt in Sweden in Summer 2007. The JPR in Germany with 260 points with 1. place and the HZP with 176 points in autumn 2007. Furthermore she absolveld the elite huntingstest (VPS) with 192 points in 2nd prize in autumn 2007, as testwinner too. In spring she was first by the Btr Test. At the CACIB Show in Lingen/D 2008, she got her first CACIB and her 2nd CAC. The first CAC she got at the CACIB Show Dec.2007 in Kassel, our hometown.
Many thanks to Britt-Marie and Calle, which give us the possibility to have a litter after Coco. No to say for the hospitility and the knowledge given to us over all the years and finally, Smilla, Coco´s daughter which moved to us in 2006.
Smilla has her first litter, our B-Litter in Spring 2010. She was mated with S(u)CH Kvicksans Hole in One "Jerry". More under breeding - B-Litter
More of her on her own side.
On May, 30, 2008 - Black Mica´s for honor & glory / Skrallan moved to Beautyfield´s. A nice tempramentful girl from Black Mica´s Kennel in Uppsalla/SWE. Many thanks to Linda. Skrallan is a daughter from SUCH Black Mica´s that´s for sure and NUCH Hempths Vally-Vic. A granddaughter of twotimes Stockholm winner, SUCH FinCH SV Black Mica´s Don´t Quench the Fire. We looking forward if she will be as good as her name forspoke. She has 4 CAC in the meantime and sucessfully done JP/R (beginner hunting test for Retriever), a common hunting test and the Btr (Bringtreueprüfung). So after some starting problems with her working abilities, we are now on the right way. With her we plan our C-Litter in the 2nd half of 2011, depending from the breeding licence we have to get for her.
From the Beautyfield A-Litter of Coco and Joep in Summer 2009, Beautyfield´s Amy Winehouse - "Stina" stay by us. Stina has won the Puppyclass at the DRC Show in Höchstadt/Aisch. Afterwards she got several JCAC and in the end the German Junior Champion title. Stina absolved the Verbandsprüfung nach dem Schuss "VPS" with sucess and can start in the gundog class since November 2010. At the German Retriever Club Show 2010 she got her first Adult CC (CAC).
From the B-Litter, Svea stays by us. Beautyfield´s Balmain. She has start her show career in October 2010 at the CACIB Bundessieger Show at Dortmund where she was best Female Puppy and was Best FCR Puppy at the German Retriever Club Show 2010.
We show our dogs at several shows a year in Germany and other countrys and trained them for tests and hunting activites.
All of our dogs lives in our house as real familiy members and we enjoy her quality as pet in the same way like their working qualities and their sucess at the show ground.
But with all in our life, sometimes you´ve fun and luck, sometimes not. So Merlin our first, died of cancer short before his 9th birthday. We put his sister Leá to sleep at 13,5 years about cancer and Randy left us in December 2010. We´ll never forget them.
Whoever has said, "Flatcoated Retriever are the greatest dogs of the world", he has found the right words for this supereb dogs.
