The Farm

        
I hope you will join me as an ardent admirer of this remarkable breed.  Belgian Shepherds consist of 4 varieties: Belgian Sheepdog (Groenendael), Belgian Tervuren, Belgian Malinois, and Laekenois. I started with the long-haired Belgian Sheepdog (Groenendael) variety, but recently acquired my first Malinois.   So now I am owned by 4 remarkable Belgians. Links to their pages are to the left.

We live on 47 beautiful acres in West Central Missouri.  I recently built an addition to my home with a dog door so the dogs could choose to be inside in the heated/air conditioned room or outside in their fenced yard.  The addition also houses my Booster Bath, so I am now able to easily bathe my dogs no matter what the weather and without breaking my back over the bath tub!

For those of you unfamiliar with the Belgian Sheepdog, be sure to check out the Breed Standard page for information.  You can also review the Malinois Standard.  And for those who may be curious about Paint horses, feel free to check out the Farm link as well!

HISTORY:

Sheba was my first Belgian Sheepdog. In fact, she was the first I had ever met.  She came to me through a stroke of good fortune and I was hooked!  Sheba is successful in both conformation and herding venues.  Watch for her in the Rally ring later this year.

Sheba was bred the end of February to the handsome Ch. Elancer's British Invasion ("Boston") and whelped 7 gorgeous puppies on April 26, 2009.  Interested parties are encouraged to email me for a copy of my prospective owner questionnaire and contract.  Read about her story on her very own page and check out the Puppies page to track the puppies' progress.

Annie arrived Thanksgiving 2006. I looked for almost 6 months for the right show quality puppy before finding her at Images Belgians in Ohio.  Renee Croft, her co-owner, was generous enough to let this little bundle of energy make her home with me.  I'm sure my household will never be the same!  Check out Annie's page for some cute puppy pictures.

Ace was the next to arrive.  He also came from Images Belgians as a rehome at a year old. He was a big gangly boy with boundless energy and I had trouble getting him fattened up. Now at 3 years old, he is finally keeping weight on and looking good.  He was shown in Canada as a puppy, but he is happier hanging out here at the farm where he is my fearless protector.  

At Thanksgiving 2008, Layla came into my life.  She is a bundle of energy outside, but a couch potato in the house.  And she REALLY lives up to the "malligator" persona.  There isn't an intact toy in my house!  She has a wonderful friendly disposition and is SOOO smart. She and Sheba are becoming best buddies.
