My husband and I fell in love with Tervueren in 1971 when we bought our first female,
Partner´s Con Anima, from kennel Partner. We liked her so much that we bought her younger sister, Partner´s Dirke, the year after. We then discovered that it was very fun to work with them and since they were excellent in tracking that was the first discipline that we competed in. Soon we started training and competing in searching as well. We participated in dog shows and Dirke became Norwegian and Finnish Show Champion.

We decided to have a litter and the kennel started in 1977. Dirke got a lovely litter of 7 (5+2) puppies sired by Norw. Ch Adonis du Boscaille. The most famous of the puppies was Int Ch Sw Ch Subtils Livius, who sired about 150 puppies and who competed in tracking and searching with good results.

Together with kennel Foxfire, Ulla-Carin Totney, we imported two males, Orient v Mezzaselva from Switzerland and Akka v der Moosfluh from Germany. Unfortunately Orient had hip dysplasia so we gave him away to a very nice family, where he lived happily until he died at the age of 13.

Akka sired about 90 puppies,and many of them became famous show dogs and working dogs. One of his daughters, Azona´s Thua-Phuma, came to live with us and she got two litters in our kennel. The first was sired by Subtils Livius (3+4) and we got two Obedience Champions, one Work. Champion and three Show Champions. Five of them did the Swedish Mentality Test with excellent results. We kept one of the females, Sw Ch Subtils Flamme for breeding and working purposes.She had a litter with Sw Ch Continental´s Hercules and out of that litter came very nice social puppies.
Sw Obedience Ch. Subtils Grandes Esperances competed twice in Obedience in the Swedish Mastership.
The other litter she had was with our male Sw Work. Ch. Dante and in this litter we only got one puppy, a female, Subtils Unique, that stayed in our kennel. Unique gave birth to only one puppy as well, Sw Work Ch. Subtils Hacker-Zack, who is a fabulous tracking dog and has participated in the Swedish Mastership in the tracking discipline three times so far . We are very proud of him. His father was Fon De Clair Nathan de Rouge - a very social dog who competed in several disciplines with good results. Hacker Zack sired his first litter in 2004 with Twist´n Shout Hortese. Ten puppies 9+1.

In 1995 we bought our first Malinois, a Norwegian male, Zagal´s Zorro, a fantastic dog. He still lives with us and he has many titles: Sw Work. Ch, IPO3, BHP3, Korad (The Swedish Mentality Test) and apart from that he competes in the highest level in tracking and obedience. He has sired one litter that seem to be very promising. At the age of 9 he started a new career as a security dog. Not bad!
Our next Malinois, Belgross Saba, is out of show lines. She has a fantastic mentality and she also passed the Swedish Mentality tests with flying colours. She has had three litters with different very nice gentlemen: Multi Ch Xilly´s Flying Start (the I-litter), Zulu van Balderlo (the J-litter) and Yankee van Balderlo (the K-litter). They are all fairly young so far but they have already started their careers both in working and shows. I think we will see more of them in future.

We have a young male with us now who will hopefully go in Zorro´s footsteps, Blackneck´s Uran, or Solo, as we call him. You can read more about these dogs on other pages in this homepage. Happy reading!
