Welcome!

Greetings to the visitors of my website!

I’m happy to introduce the website of the dog kennel called “Irrwisch Sieg”. In my kennel we breed such dogs as affenpinschers and griffons. The kennel is FCI registered since 2011. Although the kennel itself is registered quite recently the dogs are happy residents in our home for over 20 years.

In 1992 I’ve got my first dog – the German Boxer. That was a dog I was waiting for a long time. It was my dream which came true. Lotta lived for 13 year full of love and dedication. She was a bright respesentative of the breed with excellent working qualities and has demonstrated such valuable merits as intellect, bravery, decision making, strong character and sense of humor. I will always love and remember her.

In 2007 our family was amended with the little 2-moths old Brussels Griffon from St.Petersburg. The choise of the breed was not random. I wanted that all the dog qualities which are most valuable for me fit in the small format. This was proven by our little boy – Bon Fayr Smile Fortunas! On my website you will find an article about him which was earlier published in the «World of Griffons» magazine.

When learning more about the history of the breed I've got interested in the primogenitor of griffons – German affenpinschers. And although the pioneers of my kennel were griffons I'm now focused on affenpinschers.

This is quite rare German breed with the unbelievable appearance and stunning charisma was so interesting so I've not just bought puppies from Holland (Tani Kazari) and Sweden (Airscot), but have also studies the history of the breed quite in detail both from the books and at it's historical location – in Germany (Saxony and Bayern).

The kennel name «Irrwisch Sieg» is a German name with means «Boggard's victory». The little boggards – affenpischers have definetely won my heart.

Geogafically the kennel is located in two countries – Russia (Moscow region and St.Petersburg) and in Germany (stadt Schoeneck). This is driven by our show activities. I'm activelIy showing my dogs both in Europe and in Russia and they are making me happy with their achievements. The details you may learn on the personal pages of the dogs and in the website news.

It has to be noted that you may also learn about the both breeds – affenpinscher and griffon and my website. But this is just for information – not for advertising. I'm not aiming at making this breed popular. Perhaps it sounds strange but in real life the dogs of small breed frequently suffers from being popular instread of gaining. There are many examples of not just few dogs but the whole breeds have badly suffered from being popular. The one has to be fully aware of the responsibility when you choose a dog to enter your family. And it is obvious that the one who is mostly responsible is the breeder. Affenpinscher is a great breed but surely doesn't fit all. Therefore in order to avoid a tragedy, wheather it is big or small, one has to learn all the aspects of the breed and make balanced decision. And if you are convinced and are ready for the dialog – Wellcome to the world of affenpinschers. I will be delighted to answer all your questions and will help you to find a puppy. Surely you can count on my further assistance. You may learn more about getting a little affenpinscher in the «Puppies» section of this website.

I would like to say few words about my understanding of the breeders role. I've chosen this profession was a mature decision – to dedicate myself to breeding these beautiful creatures of God – dogs. Loving dogs I've started when I was very young and this love has grown into working with them which brings me a lot of pleasure and satisfaction. My backgroung is economics and managements and the fact that I'm a graduated with honor manager only helps me to run my kennel. «Irrwisch Sieg» kennel has a development strategy developed, the mission, aims and targets are determined and the execution plan is made. You can learn more about this in the «About» section of this website. I'm working to make my kennel advanced and innovative. I'm an active attendant of various trainings made by the professional dog breeders of Russia and Europe. I'm also keeping in touch with the affenpinscher breeders all over the world. This is a new breed for Russia and I still have a lot to learn from my colleagues.

In 2010 I've successfully graduated from the Russian Kynological Federation course with the degree of «Breed Judge (dog breeder, breeding manager)». I'm setting amitious targets for my kennel and follow my plan. I would like to thank my family for support and understanding!

I'm also very grateful to all the affen «possessed» breeders and dog owners who are maintaining and improving this unique breed. Special thanks I would like to address to the wonderful person and true professional – Mrs.Nataly Kirsanova. She has practically introduced myself into kynology, shared her knowledge and experience, helped and supported by in my plans and intentions.

I'm also very grateful to the Irish Wolfhound breeder and «Tsarskaya Prihot» kennel owner – Mrs.Nataly Beresneva. I'm happy that I was lucky to meet with this wonderful person and the outstanding breeder of the most noble dogs – Irish Wolfhounds. Meeting with her actually turned me into a breeder and «Irrwish Sieg» kennel owner from a regular dog owner.

Being a breeder and «Irrwisch Sieg» kennel owner I accept special responsibility for the breed as such and for the every dog in particular. I'm also responsible to all the people related to my kennel in any way.

Breeder's work is 24/7 and without vacations or weekends. This is happiness, victories, triumph but also frustration and losses. There is everything in the this work… but when you see the result, it becomes very clear – it is worth it!

Every affenpinscher truly deserves the love of its owner! And if you are prepared to give your heart away to the «little boggart» it will deliver back a sea of love, positive emotions, fun and joy. It will win your hear and this will be the victory of boggarts – «Irrwisch Sieg»!

Owner of «Irrwisch Sieg» kennel – Irina Kosyakova.
