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.

Over the years I have bred 23 champions, and my Tervueren 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 Airport.

For 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 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 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.

The 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.
