I've just finished Qain's webpage with pictures and videos.? He is my pride and joy and is my first Sch/IPO trained dog (although I was in Ringsport for years with his father, who was the NARA 2000 Champion).? He is just short of 2 yrs of age and has more than surpassed our expectations.? He gives 150% in everything.? He has an incredible grip and he is the most versatile and solid/stable Malinois I've had the pleasure of training; and also does ringwork, and just started muzzle and hidden sleeve work.? Yet, he is a dog that I can take anywhere.? We hope to finish his Sch/IPO III by the end of next year and then let him mature before the Nationals and hopefully the World's.? We have a lot of work ahead of us and a few things to improve...But have a look and I hope you enjoy it!
I guess what makes me even more proud is that he was my 'pick of the litter, and of my breeding', and he was sold; but the people who bought him, were intimidated by his drives and intensity, and he ended up staying with me--because he was a pup I didn't want to let go;? I was extremely happy to say the least!?
Qain is NVBK and FR bred.? And today I found out that he has become a 'father' to 7 puppies for the first time!? It has been a good day!

I think the ultimate goal/accomplishment in what we do is to breed, choose,and train a dog, then compete at the highest level. It seems like you are there. Congradulations, I fully understand this accomplishment. I hope I get there someday.
I have not met or really talked with you yet. I have been looking at your websight and breeding program. It is obvious you know what you are doing. We are at least on the same continent so I hope we get a chance to meet someday.
Good luck and continued success,
Christian

Thank you ALL for the kind words and compliments.? It truly means a lot!? ? We've worked so hard to make every training session count amongst so many months when we were both unable to train...It's has been frustrating not being able to train as much as we would like, and I hope we have a 'better' 2006!!? We'll be back at training in the spring after my recovery from what I hope will be the last surgery for a while! lol
Christian...I also hope to meet you one day and I do wish you the best of luck and success in your own K9 endeavours!
Just some pics of 'BABY Qain' (from 1wk of age to 12 wks).? They bring back a lot of happy memories for me...especially those that were taken right after he was returned to me...I think I was probably the happiest woman in the world that day! lol
Thank you again everyone!
