1 – When did you get your first Belgian?
My parents bought their first Belgian, Tervueren in the early 80’s when I was around 11 years old. My first own Belgian I got as a present for my 16th birthday, a groenendael female called Clyde van Lana’s Hof. Later when I moved out of the house we bought our first Tervueren male in France, Lotus de la Grande Lande.

2 – Which variant have you owned?
I have owned Tervueren and Groenendael.

3 – If any, what variant do you own today?
At this moment we only have tervuerens and one groenendael male living with friends.

4 – What is your favourite memory from you owning Belgians historically?
My favourite memories are going back many years, in the nineties. We were together with a large group of breeders, tervuerens and groenendael, and visited a lot of foreign shows together. Internet had not arrived yet so we were depending on exchanging information by phone or meetings at shows. We had such great times wit a lot of laughs and drinks😊

5 – What is your favourite memory from judging Belgians?
I have many favourite memories of judging Belgians. Being invited at many clubshows all over the world makes me proud. It’s a privillage to meet and see the quality in Belgians around the world. It makes me very happy to discover quality and meeting the owners. I love to judge puppies as they are our future and it is important they keep coming tot he shows.

6 – What is your favourite memory from your Breeding history?
My parents started breeding Belgians in the 80’s and got me involved since than. I am grateful for that and it has had a great influence on my life. After the loss of my mother things have changed and feels different, but we have continued the breeding to honor her. It’s not my goal to breed lot’s of litters in the future but some will be bred for sure.
