Thanks so much for the info! Will do.

Thank you! I count my blessings every day :-)))

If anyone raises Call ducks, please let me know. Thanks!

LOL! Yes, it was the first sleet/snow of the year. My dogs are pretty smart about their comfort! I love the look on my male Laekenois face - You idiot, what are you doing out in the weather???? Built the kennel in 1985 for 11 Irish Wolfhounds after buying the house. Our idea was it should...

Here are a few photos of my kennel and the remodeling done for the sheep and ducks. My dogs are now house dogs. Chain link fencing removed between runs, feed bunk built, and duck run covered with wire and shade cloth to protect them from predators and provide shade. LOVE my little Call ducks...

I lucked out. My family owned, exhibited, bred (since the mid 1960s) and I judge Irish Wolfhounds. Our kennel building was made with Irish Wolfhound sized stalls and doors. The building transformed perfectly for sheep. I will gather up some photos and post later today.

There are some awesome Boxers out there doing herding trials and titling! Neat breed for sure! And yes, my dogs too enjoy being house plants. Their most favorite place is to either nap or be under foot wherever I need to be in the kitchen.

She's a beauty! LOVE brindle.

They handle cold well. Belgians as a breed are true working dogs. They MUST have work to be healthy physically and mentally. As to how they are around children, I don't have the answer. I'd ask a breeder who has children.

Herding as a sport is expensive, time consuming, demands acuracy and HARD! I think there are many farm dogs that do chores on stock everyday. Those dogs are invaluable to their owners!

Oh I've never heard of a Spanish Alano! So many interesting rare breeds. Actually, in every other country, except the USA, the Belgian Shepherd (also known as the Belgian Sheepdog and Groendahl in other countries), Belgian Tervuren, Belgian Malinois and Belgian Laekenois are recognized and...

Here's my little gang of sheep one winter morning a couple of years ago :-)

If you haven't already, please visit for breed info: http://www.belgianlaekenoisclub.us/ We are working towards full AKC recognition.

Oh you'll be sorry you asked for pics ;-) My fellow herding student friends are also great photogs. Most of my photos are of duck runs. My male Laekenois is a dual herding champion and happened to work very well on ducks.

I keep a few hair sheep for herding training my Belgian Laekenois. We trial in AKC, ASCA & AHBA arena events. I very much enjoy keeping sheep. I look forward to the Back Yard Herds forum.
