My first Laekenois and the very best of them all!
A great Lady, a dog with self confidence, self control and dignity beyond the usual.
Respectful towards both people and dogs and always getting respect in reward. Intelligent and full of energy working dog, a star in the show rings and a great mom to her pups.

Beerta was diagnosed with arthrithis in left knee at the age of 7. And a couple of years later in the right knee as well. Lately even all bones in her metacarpus were changed. Otherwise she was a very healthy dog. And she wanted to train and play, she loved life and looked like a young dog!

But walking was hard and the painkillers did not help enough any more and I had to make a very painful decision to let her go in the age of 12 years and 5 months.

She drew her last breath at home surrounded by the whole family. A part of me died with her...

Luisa was a gift from my friend Rui. I met her as a 4 months old puppy when we were in Portugal and stayed at Ruis place. I fell in love with her.

We had to wait almost 3 months before we could import Luisa to Sweden. She travelled with some of Ruis friends and their two giant Grand Danois to Denmark in a camper. It took 3 days and Luisa must have been terrified of the giants. From that time she was afraid even of the smallest Chihuahua puppy.

It took a year of training to make her pass a dog without fear. We trained a lot of basic obedience but even agility and tracking as it was such a joy for her and gave her so much confidence. She was a wonderful working dog and an exceptional beauty. And a fighter that made me so proud!

She died, only 2,5 year old, during agility training. The necropsy showed a circulatory collapse. The whole world collapsed for me that day...

Orca was a typical Belgian Shepherd with a lot of drive and an always ready-to-work attitude. Quick and intelligent. She loved to show her devotion to the people she knew, but was a bit suspicious of strangers.

Working with her was a great pleasure! She learned quickly and stayed focused on the task at hand, even under difficult conditions. 

I competed with her in obedience and she earned a Swedish Obedience Champion title.

In older days she had been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and became very moody. She was not comfortable sharing her life with other dogs around so I let her live with a good friend of mine in the City. She loved her new life and have had wonderful retirement.

She was euthanized at home at the age of over 14 years surrounded by people she loved.

Ruda is imported from Holland. Her Grandmother is a full sister of my first and very best Laekenois Beerta. She has some of my favorite dogs in her pedigree and I am really tempted to pass it on to next generation.

 A very sweet and lovable character. Soft and friendly. An easy-going every day companion. Beautiful and elegant.

A very easy dog to train though it took some time to get her motivated. She would not mind spending her life partly running in the woods and swimming and partly resting on the couch. But once on the training ground she gives everything!
She has got an exc in obedience class 2 and we are now ready to compete in the highest class.
