About us
We have lived in Northern Ireland since 1996, when we moved over for Adrian's job. We like it so much, we stayed on!
Rachel:
I have owned and bred pets since I was very young, including hamsters, guinea
pigs (cavies), rabbits, gerbils and goldfish as well as being given a young
puppy Scruff Tuff for my 8th birthday. I took Scruff to local training classes,
and we trained the old-fashioned way with a check chain and leather lead.
In 1994, Adrian and I set up Radio
Hams Hamstery, which was initially based in Camberwell, London, before
moving with us to Northern Ireland.
When we were deciding on an affix for our kennel, we wanted to continue the
radio theme (we are both Radio Amateurs), and came up with 59+, 'radio speak'
for the most excellent quality radio signal!
We hope to become as well known for our dogs as we are for our pedigree hamsters.
