[SummerRiot]

Just had to share the good news, Riot finished his Canadian Championship last weekend at the Pine Ridge dog show in Port Hope under Judge Michael Shoreman!!

Win pic - sorry its blurry.. its a picture of a picture.

Congrats! Are all BSD varieties really competing together in shows in the same classes?

[SummerRiot]

In Canada the Canadian Kennel Club recognizes all 4 varieties of the Belgian as ONE breed so the Laekens, Tervs, Grons and Mals all competed against each other in the same ring at the same time.

The American Kennel Club only recognizes the Gron, Terv and the Mal as seperate breeds.. for some reason so they compete seperately.

and Thank you!

Congrats!  What a beautiful coat

I do have a question, on a previous post you stated something about a bylaw keeping you from doing SchH or Ring.  Where abouts are you located at??  I live in South West Ontario and we are still actively trialing/training, Toronto has quite a few SchH clubs too.  I have not heard anything about protection training being stopped, and over my dead body will anyone stop me from training in the sport I love

There used to be a Sch club here last year. It got shut down though.

I'm actually right in Ottawa. If you know of any clubs around here LEMME KNOW! lol

I'd absolutely LOVE to get Riot into proper training for it. Its such an awesome sport - I especially admire the French Ring. Soo much training and fabulous dogs in that sport.

I moved here from Kingston actually and I knew a few Belgian owners in Kingston that would travel to Ottawa once a week for the Sch classes that were held her.. but when i went to find it in ottawa I learned that it had been shut down

and Thank you - Riot was really blessed with an awesome coat! lol

I will check around and see if I can locate anyone.  Move down London way We are just an hour from there and we'd LOVE to have a Terv join our group.

We have had members title in Ring too.

I have serious coat envy..I have Malinois.  Good luck in your training!

[SummerRiot]

LOl If only it was that simple!!

The fiance is the one who rolls in the big bucks and his job isn't really portal.. lol

I'd defiantely be interested in joining a group though, even if it was an hours drive or something.It'd be worth the distance for the training!

hehe.. I'm jelous of Riots coat.. it looks better then my hair!! haha

Tracey-

I would love to find a place to train my dog for SchH and obedience. Do you know any place  that would be close to Barrie/Toronto? I moved here 4 moths ago from Finland ( and am totally new to Canadian ways with dogs and training) and it would be great to start something like this with my puppy when she gets a bit older. Are groenedaels welcome to training schutz too or are people here too a bit breed"racists" what comes to that?

Congratulation!
very charming dog, like the fur!!!

I wish here in Israel the BS will take part of working trials, only the Malin' from working blood lines do here the Shutzhund.

good luck with him in the Obedience, Agility, Rally, Herding and Tracking titles.

it's really strange for me that all the BS is judging in the same ring, we have theme here as a diffrent breeds.
