Found a new "husband" for Visa

**wolfsoul** · 05-11-2006, 08:36 PM

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!!

I've been wondering - how come you can breed different Belgians together? I thought they were seperate breeds entirely.

He is STUNNING!

Their pups would be drop-dead gorgeous!

I was wondering the same thing.

He is sooo HANDSOME!! Wow...

And I was wondering the same thing as above

**bckrazy** · 05-11-2006, 08:51 PM

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.

Nice choice. He is beautiful and has a fabulous coat.

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!

).

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.

Well after searching for awhile I found the thread on Chazhound. Honestly, no wonder you got flamed it sounded like you were a BYB asking for a dog over the internet

I know that isn't the case but it was the way you worded it, it sounded very, very rushed and impulsive.

Anyways, good luck with the search. Keep us updated

Don't worry about Chazhound.. they're a horrible forum. Hence the reason I haven't logged on in forever, except for today to see what's going on!

I'd noticed you had left after that huge thing about that Orion guy or something. I figured you got tired of it too. By the way, I had a dream about you lastnight lol.

I've been a member there for like 5 days and I already hate it. Most of the people there suck.

LOL it's true. They have all their stupid cliques there. I think the only reason I stayed there in the first place was because there are two members with Belgians.

I totally agree with that too, I got the same impression after I joined. the only reason I log in every now and again is because of the couple people that own Belgians. It isn't all horrible though, some people seem to be okay.

**tessa_s212** · 05-14-2006, 04:24 PM

What a tiring search for you! Please do keep us updated with photos of the soon to be sire!

And as for the forum bashing, I love Chazhound. It is the wonderful people and trainers there that keep me there. And it is the horrible, ignorant people there that keep me entertained.

some people seem to be on the immature side on that forum.
