My involvement in the Belgian Shepherd began in 1981 and has grown. We now own & breed all 4 varieties (Groenendael, Laekenois, Malinois and Tervueren) with carefully planned litters sometimes available. Dogs bred by us are Multi Specialty BISS/BOB winners, All Breed Group and In Show winners. Our Belgians also work or compete in Obedience, Rally-O, Tracking, Herding, Lure Coursing, IPO, Mondo Ring, IGP as well as fully fledged working dogs and family companions. We have imported Terv, Groen, Mal and Laek from Belgium, USA, Portugal, Hungary and Italy. We own dogs in Greece, United Kingdom, Holland, Mexico and America.
If we don't have the puppy for you - we will help you find a reputable breeder who has.
We are a small kennel located on the beautiful Fleurieu peninsula in South Australia breeding, showing and trialing Belgian Shepherds (Groenendael & Tervueren) and Samoyeds.
All of our breeding stock are fully health tested, DNA profiled and undergo a temperament evaluation.
We enjoy training and competing in a multitude of dog sports with our dogs but first and foremost they are beloved family pets.
All of our puppies are raised in the home, well handled and socialized with an emphasis on natural rearing techniques. We are experienced behavioral trainers and use only force-free methods.
All of our dogs are purpose bred to closely resemble their breed standard as much as possible with an emphasis on continuing to be able to do the 'work' their breed was originally intended to do, as well as being competitive across a range of other dog sports.
We are passionate about what we do, and take our role as caretakers of these breeds very seriously. We believe that we should never stop learning and strongly believe in continued professional development.

"Breeding for Versatility, Soundness and Type"
Est. 2004
For the LOVE of Belgians . . .
Our goal is to breed Belgians that will be loving family members, perform in the many disciplines of dogs sports and do well in the showring. Yes we want to breed Belgians that 'can do it all' and are more than just a pretty face, while never compromising health, type or temperament.
Every dog we own and show, that is over 18 months, has basic obedience, agility, scentwork and herding training. All our dogs compete in at least one dog sport and gain titles outside of the show ring.
Our Belgians are family members that live in our home and absolutely love the variety they have in their lives from bush walks, beach walks to training alone or with our local club, to competitions and meeting up with other dogs for social catch-ups.
Our dogs are tested for hips, elbows, eyes and have their full DNA profiled.
We are proudly a small kennel with over 60 years combined experience in Belgians, primarily in agility and showing. Breeding selectively our matings are planned well in advance, after a lot of research.
We work with overseas breeders to bring the best quality Belgians to Australia to help expand the gene pool here. We have two imported females and are excited about our new male who will arrive late 2023 from Europe.
If you are thinking about a Belgian we would love to have a chat even if we dont have any puppies available and encourage you to look at our webpage or join our FB group https://www.facebook.com/groups/465454384472512/?ref=s

Our puppies are registered with Dogs Victoria, they are wormed, have their first vaccination and are micro-chipped before leaving us. We provide puppy packs (includes info booklets, food samples etc) to our new puppy owners and 6 weeks complimentary puppy insurance. Our adults and pups are fed a combination of premium dry food and a raw diet.
Our puppies are ONLY available to homes where they will be much loved members of the family.
Note: All pups are sold on the condition that they be returned to us if their owners can no longer care for them.
IMPORTANT: If you haven't owned a Belgian Shepherd before, please do some research about the breed before enquiring about one, these are active dogs and require exercise and mental stimulation. They are not a dog you can just leave in your backyard, they want and need to be part of the family.
Note: We only reply to people who have a genuine interest that provide some information about themselves and prior breed, or dog experience. We don't reply to one line emails.
