My first dog was German Sheperd bitch Bacteroides Ginny. We did do some working dog tracking and obedience in 1980's. During that period I got also my first touch with groenendaels (although I don't remember who this dog was). After Ginny past away I spent many years without dogs untill I started to think about getting a frend to take with me to the walks. German sheperd did came to my mind first, but something weird was happened to their appearance, and I did not like what I saw. Then that black elegant dog popped into my mind. So I went to the library to find out what that breed exactly was and I gave a call to the few breeders. From that another year went by, untill six month old Belmex Harley came to life with us. Harri was planned to be only a familydog and a walk companion, but in 1997 I found my self from the first working dog search camp. In 1997 I was also chosen to the ecutive board of Ekybelgis (Southern-Kymi's Belgian Sheperd society) where I have been sitting as a secratery, chairman and vice chairman since that.

I have been competing with two dogs in working dog search trials (first class). I have been engage in tracking-, messenger- and search trials with my dogs. My dogs are also competed in Speedrace running contest and we also go to the dogshows. I have been obedience trainer in KPH (Karjalas working dog fancy) and Ekybelgit since 1998. I has been sitting in KPH's board during 2004-2007 and I have been KPH's competition secratery (which I still am). I'm trained dog training instructor and Working dog competition trustee. In the beginning of year 2004 affix Grimoire was conceted to me.

At the moment six litter is born under my affix, and at the next year we are hoping seventh Grimoire's to born. I do breed groenendaels only in small term. All our litters are born and raised at the home where they get familiar with normal family life. My main goal for breeding dogs is working mental capabilities, without despising healt and and breed type. If you got interested, please do contact us via email on phone! I'm also very interested about all Grimoire breedings and I'm really happy for all news and pictures!
