Hello all My name Beth Jones and I have belgian shephards. I don't have a favorite variety. I have worked both mals and belgian sheepdogs, but I focus most of my effort into the future of the working groenendael. Thru the past 12 years, I been working towards my goal of finding belgian sheepdog/ groenendaels that can succeed in French Ring Sport and other demanding sports. Currently I have three groenendaels training for French Ring Sport. One of these dogs was a replacement for very dear belgian mal I lost last year. It was a huge lost, but my new boy wants to fully replace my lost.
I have been in dogs my whole life. I never knew a world that didn't involve some sort of tug toys, dog kibble, and squeaky balls. My mother introduced me into the competitive world of dogs in 1978. Her breed of choice was Shetland sheepdogs and conformation was her passion. We disagreed on many issues concerning my desires to enter more challenging sports and my desire for a larger breed. I always wanted a big dog, but my mother loved her little fuzzy dogs. In 1987, I went to Texas to show a few Shetland sheepdogs. I was asked to handle a belgian sheepdog bitch. With years of pleading my mother for a large breed dog, I was delighted to have the chance to show a larger dog. After winning three unexpected majors that weekend, I finally had the opportunity to bring home a larger breed of dog. It was our first groenendael. She was a schutzhund trained dog and she started my obsesssion for the breed and working sports. A few years later, my mother suffered from numerous terminate illness. During these years of fighting to keep her alive, my main focus was centered around my mother. After her death, I restarted my intrest in dogs and working sports. Sense then, I have slowly struggled to find the type character and working ablity I want in belgian sheepdogs, malinois, and tervs. After many years of searching and importing, I am happy to have found more than I had hoped.
