Corsini - belgian shepherd dog About Corsini
I first saw this lovely breed when I lived in Zaire in Africa. As it was a former Belgian colony there were many ex-patriots and a number of them owned Belgian Shepherds - mostly Groenendaels. I owned small dogs in those days, but I resolved that when we moved back to Europe I would also own one of this beautiful breed. Somewhat naïve to think I could stop at one!

Speaking fluent French, from the beginning I was able to make contact with breeders in Belgium and France and quickly became smitten with the elegance and beauty of continental dogs. Consequently over the years I have been involved in importing a number of dogs from both Belgium and France, many of whom have had a dramatic influence on the breed in the United Kingdom and who have formed the basis of my breeding lines, as well as those of many other breeders in the UK.




Corsini Valentino - belgian shepherd dog Over the years I have bred 28 champions and I have been top Tervueren in the UK six times. This year I was fortunate enough to be joint third top breeder in the UK all breeds with CC status. A number of years ago I was second top breeder in the UK all breeds, and the year before that joint fourth top breeder all breeds. Not that Corsini is a big kennel - I generally have two litters a year, although in 2009 I didn't have any litters at all. My Tervuerens at home currently range in age from youngsters to much loved veterans. Not having children my dogs are my babies and are spoiled accordingly! When puppies are available they are reared in the home and well socialised to adapt them for their future life as part of the family. My dogs are very much house dogs and I feel strongly that even those puppies which go as future show dogs must also be kept as well loved pets! I am based in Middlesex, just 20 minutes from London Heathrow.

Corsini Finesse - belgian shepherd dogFor many years I was involved in the Belgian Shepherd Dog Association of Great Britain, serving for one year as assistant secretary, then a further five years as newsletter editor.I am currently a vice-president of the breed club.

I have been privileged to judge Belgians all over the world including Belgian Shepherd breed specialties in Holland, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Germany, United States, Australia, Canada, Czech Republic and Hungary, and have had the honour of judging five times at the most famous of all international Belgian Shepherd events: The French National Specialty held during the month of August.

Corsini Hunter - belgian shepherd dogThe Belgian Shepherd is an extremely versatile dog. In addition to being a beautiful, glamorous breed, Belgians are intelligent and eager to please. They excel in obedience and agility and are generally good with children. Their social nature makes them ideal companions, which also means that they dislike being isolated from their 'human pack' and they undoubtedly do best when they live as part of the family.

As a breeder of the Tervueren variety, my aim is to produce happy, healthy dogs of good breed type, hopefully with that touch of class and quality that makes Belgians so special. Bitches and stud dogs are hip-scored under the relevant national hip scoring schemes before being bred from, and our puppies are born and reared in the home.
