The Belgian Mafia

Here they are patiently waiting for the fun to begin! (May 2007)

Vince - The Senior Brown Dog

Vinnie is our senior Terv athlete! Vince has recently achieved his Veteran Agility Trial Champion of Canada (vATChC) and is gently working on his NADAC NATCH.. Vince has recently discovered tracking and loves it!

Tira - The Black Dog

Tira is our rising agility star. She is our first "Clicker" puppy and has been trained exclusively with positive reinforcement techniques advocated by Karen Pryor, Bob Bailey, Kathy Sdao, and other reknowned animal trainers. Now 3 years old, she has earned 10 titles or certificates in competition over the past 18 months. Tira competes in AAC, CKC, and NADAC agility and earned her Masters Agility Dog of Canada (AAC) this past October.

Mario - The Second Brown Dog

Mario (Montage Need for Speed) arrived on Wednesday, May 3, 2006 at our home in BC. Petra actually had the opportunity to fly to Pennsylvania to the American Belgian Tervuren Specialty to pick up this little guy. He's feisty, curious and very vocal about his opinions already! His agility and herding careers are already underway...

Family Photo

This was taken in November 2004 when we still had our Badger. Nicki Gurr kindly took a series of wonderful digital photos for us - and we all managed to have our eyes open! We're posed here in front of some barns up in Nanaimo BC.

When Chaos Reigned!

For a brief but wonderful time we had Skybear our Collie, Badger the black Belgian, and Vince the brown Belgian sharing our house. Skybear has left us after 11 wonderful years and Badger left us almost 3 years later. We still miss them both very much.
