Well, we've decided not to breed Visa to Rogue -- instead, we're going to breed her to a tervuren!
This is the male we would like to breed her to...

Isn't he beautiful? They should have some nice pups. :)
Gorgeous!! :D
I've been wondering - how come you can breed different Belgians together? I thought they were seperate breeds entirely.
He is STUNNING! :eek: Their pups would be drop-dead gorgeous! :D
I was wondering the same thing. :)Quote:

Congrats!
Annnd, I'm not totally sure, but I thought breeding a Terv to a Groendael is like breeding a rough collie to a smooth collie? Just, puppies of different coat types/coloring are produced.
The Belgians are only different breeds in AKC -- in every other registry, they are varieties. :) So it all just depends on genetics as to what you will get. In this litter, we will get only groenendaels, but some of the puppies will carry tervuren. You can tell if they carry tervuren because they will have lighter areas on their bodies. I would love one of these, but I'm not going to pick a puppy based on what it will produce, but rather it's temperment. These pups should have nice temperments though -- this particular male is VERY nice. He has a great head too. Visa's body is absolutely perfect but her head could be better -- so hopefully this pairing will produce pups with nice heads. Being a terv, he's low-drive, so this is also good, because Visa has more drive in one toe than most dogs have in their whole body. Breeding two high drive dogs is dangerous lol. As it is we are going to have a couple of high drive pups in this litter that will be hard to place.
I'm considering breeding her to a malinois eventually too, but I'll probably end her breeding career with another groenendael and breed her son to a malinois intead. This will produce black malinois. Ashley (binka_nugget) wants one lol (she's already getting a pup from THIS litter! :p ).
I'm so happy Ashley is getting one of these puppies, I know she will be an awesome home. I'm so excited that we will have brother and sister. :D
Nice choice. He is beautiful and has a fabulous coat.
:)
Aww he is beautiful! I want a pup from Visa's son as well, count me in on that :D I'd enjoy herding with him/her very much!
Oh, that makes sense! Thanks for explaining it!
I didn't know that Ashley was getting a puppy! It'll be neat to watch two of them grow up! :D
So basically, different coat types but they can all come from the same litter?? Gotcha ;)
Anyway what a BEAUT!!!
That would be cool! :D When the day comes, let me know, I'd love for you to have one.Quote:

I know this puppy is going to the best home ever, Ashley is into all kinds of dog sports -- I know she wants to do obedience, agility, and conformation, and I think she is interested in herding and schutzhund too. I hope we will get to compete together at some of the same shows and trials. If both dogs prevail over the rest, I will be so proud to have produced such wonderful dogs (even if her dog beats mine ;) :p).
ooooooooooooooo, he's verrrrrrry handsome! Will be looking forward to those puppy pictures! ;)
Wow, that sounds amazing!!! Especially black Malinois! OMG 0_0
I would die for a black Malinois, or even a fawn Malinois from you. I just hate to ship puppies. Maybe I'll have to take a trip to Canada in a few years? heh, seriously. You would have a performance home with me! ;)
Also, the sire is goooorgeous. I love his coloring, it's just amazing. He probably has the nicest color/head I've seen in a Terv!
LOL, and after taking over PT with my dogs, soon I will take over the world! I would love for you to have one of my pups too. :D
Here are a couple pics of black malinois...not showable, but they can produce groens, tervs, and mals in one litter when bred to a groen that carries terv.

He is absolutely gorgeous! One of the nicest looking Tervs I've seen in a while. I'd also *love* to have a pup out of Visa's son if you do breed him if the timing is right for me...you'd most definitely have a performance home from me too.
