Thank you for your nice remarks, yes they are all lovely. the terv boy came to me via the rescue he is Belamba breeding, he is the spitting image of his father Ch. Ferryde la Douce Plaine. He is a lovely boy. The little girl is a Bonvivant bred by a friend, she was hand reared and didnt grow very big, but she is full of life and has just started going to agility to keep the Groen company. He is a Delark and really laid back, loves agility not fast but very precise and has to look at everything first before he attempts it. We only do it for fun not to compete, it gives them to think about.
Now I have told you a bit about them, how about you telling me about yours, I love to hear about other peoples dogs and what they do. Sue
I have two Malinois. Jarko was my partner, a police k-9 imported from Holland, until I recently retired from being a police officer and he retired with me, he is 7 yrs old now. He was a full service (tracking, narcotics and patrol work/protection) dog. We are now training in American Street Ring with him, as he is not liking retirement and seems to enjoy doing this sport. Coda is my female Mal, who is sixteen months old, she is training for IPO/SchH. She already has her BH and we are just training and waiting for her to be old enough to obtain her IPO 1 title here in the USA. She is also trained in narcotic detection, after we are finished with IPO titles, we will attempt to title in Mondio Ring and ASR with her. We also have a Rottweiler named Donya, 10 yrs old, who is my husbands lap dog. I have reserved a male Malinois pup from the kennel Like a Hurricane http://www.likeahurricane.nl - Aha van Joefarm and Umi - C Litter. Hopefully my pup will be born anyday now. My dogs can be seen in the Gallery on this site.
I'am into Tervueren for 12 years now, tried IPO with my first terv, later on with him and the rest into obedience. but most important for me was show. I did breed 3 litters the last 7 years.
I don't write here too often anymore, too much other things to do.
I've been into tervs since 1989 (almost 18 yrs... ) and bred since 1992. I've done forest tracking, IPO, FR and also just a little bit of KNPV because of my better partner, Theo. We have showline tervs and working line malinois.
Thank you for putting on a reply, what lovely dogs, you must be so proud of all the achievements you have done.
In the UK there are a few working Mals but mainly show ones, the working ones do mainly trials. You all have such wonderful snow, here we have very little. Your websites are superb so interesting, i shall go back again and read some more. We do a lot of agility here also obedience but the majority of people just show. or keep as pets. Thank you again for taking the time to reply Sue
