Ròsa Ke-sera van Hoefflaeckens Cocó

Ròsa Ke-sera was born as puppie nr 6 of a total of 10 puppies and as female nr. 2. And … Ròsa also is doggy nr 6 in our dog-family.

Ròsa Ke-sera is sister to Riko, Ravi , Ronin, Reza, Rafa, Rago, Rana, Rani en Raya. They all as second name have Ke-sera.

Ròsa Ke-sera has grown out to be a Schapendoes in all shades of grey. And she to the limit is a naughty little girl but very affectionate. Together with Rubí she often makes life quiet tough for the other family-members. She is afraid for and/or of nothing and there is no challenge too big! Ròsa inherited greatgrandma Cocó’s caracter, grandpa Hijo’s naughtyness and inventivity and mama Ke-sera de Cocó’s Hijo’s flexibility in movement > so all I like so much has been passed on well. She is also affected with what we call an “Italian temperament”.

Of course Ròsa also attended the doggy-school, and finished for the with us ususal certificates.

As a real Cocódotjes-Schapendoes, Ròsa Ke-sera has shown and seen rewarded her qualities in dog shows. After her first succesfull appearance on June 5th 2010 in Hulten – NL where she, after being selected Best Baby of Breed, in the Ring of Honour was placed nr 5 –, she as a Baby and a Puppy often won 1st Place. Also as a Junior she was very succesfull and won quiet a few titles. After that she as an “adult” continued to do so, often together with Rubí or her grandfather Hijo. After winning in all these classes and becoming BOB she very often was to show herself in the Ring of Honour. To us one of her most wonderfull achievements was to during the Brussels Dog Show 2010 – only 10 months old and participating just for fun > out of 18 Schapendoezen – be the BOB.

Our motto for Ròsa Ke-sera is “whatever the future may bring / que sera, sera “ has been and is being looked at with confidence. She in any way is a sweet, naughty little witch. Óur sweet, naughty little witch.

But yes … this little witch of ours also has become a mama : on Friday 13.09.’13 we were happy to welcome 6 new Cocódotjes-miracles, our I-litter >> the 5 th generation Cocódotjes they are!!

“In 2015 we welcomed 9 M-miracles, in 2016 7 È-miracles and in 2017 10 E-miracles”

To our great joy our Cocó was still there to experience the birth of our I-litter.

The fifth generation Cocódotjes. Cocó then was a great-great-grandmother! And Cocó once again chose one who is allowed to stay with us : she chose mama Ròsa Ke-sera’s favorite, the firstborn female/puppy, the little lady with the pink ribbon She was given the name I Besos di Ròsa and at home she is called Besos ( being Spanish for ‘kisses’).

Then…..came 2017, and by I Besos di Ròsa becoming a mum for the first time….
she made a grandma out of Ròsa Ke–sera.
Our D–litter, consisting of 8 wonderfull miracles.
The sixth generation Cocódotjes!
Allowed to stay with us was Djaya de Besos.

Darling daughter I Besos di Ròsa was allowed a second litter : this time with a son of our own Hijo
– our H-liter! They were born on 2018.11.20, making Ròsa Ke-sera a second time grandma!

Because of the daddy – our own Hijo’s son – next to halfsister Djaya de Besos also from this litter one was to stay with us : Hniña de Besos

the whole family, incl. newcomer Hniña de Besos

And these two beauties, have made her a great-grandma three times!!
– for the first time on 2021.01.04 there were the I-miracles of Djaya de Besos > 9 of them,
– then on 2022.11.11. were born the J-miracles of Hniña de Beoss > 6 this time,
– and on 2023.04.02 we welcomed the O-miracles of Djaya de Besos > now 8 of them.
We, from this seventh generation of Cocódotjes miracles, did not yet keep one for ourselves …….. that is yet to happen.

the O-miracles of granddaughter Djaya de Besos

Ròsa Ke-sera has never been very fond of showing, so after she at the age of 3 ½ had her first litter, she rarely did so.
But she was – and still is – so very, very pretty that we did want to try gain > now as the Veteran she had become.
And the little lady…………showed as never before and won one Veteran title after the other.
Judges were astonished – sometimes had a hard time beleiving – when we said how old she was.
Her last showing was 2022 in Madrid – Spain. During the World Dog Show 2020 in 2022.
Be aware : 12 ½ years old already!  Together with her granddauhter Djaya de Besos.
Ròsa Ke-sera there not only won World Veteran Champion 2020 in 2022, but also won
RSCE Veteran Winner 2022 and Latin Veteran Winner Madrid 2022!

Now tell me : isn’t that a sublime way of ending one’s show carier??
