Breeding dogs is not a 'past-time"; it is a full time endeavor.
Our life plan unfortunately diverted from our life passion (raising Belgians) and we no longer breed Belgians. We leave this page as an example of the dedication that raising quality, sound Belgians implies.
If the breeder you select does not follow a similar placement process (questionaire, interview, and home inspection), I would not recommend that you adopt a Belgian from them.

Shimmer, Serack's A Mid Summer's Night (pointed) with the "Taos" litter, born Feb 26, 2003.
Since we raise our litters by hand, we plan one litter every 3 to 4 years. That way, we know we will have the time and energy to give our dogs the exclusive attention they require to become healthy and well-socialized individuals.
We are looking for solid, devoted homes with a lifestyle conducive to raising a Belgian. We would rather wait for adoptive parents that closely match a Belgian Sheepdog profile than place a pup too quickly and risk unhappiness in an adoptive family.
Because of this guideline, we may have a pup or two in our home waiting for their new family who are older than 8 weeks. (We have no pups available at this time.) These pups will have had ideal socializing experiences to enable them to join adoptive families regardless of their develop- mental stage. Of course, it
is also possible that all pups will be reserved prior to 8 weeks.
We offer our adoptive parents an incentive- based rebate plan for participation and excellence in canine events. All of our pups have a lifetime guarantee. We will take back any pup for any reason at any time in its lifetime.
If you are interested in adopting a puppy from us, please fill out and forward to us the Puppy Placement Survey. It's the best way to begin!
Blue boy (Regal), 1 day old. Just a handful. This little
boy blue was named Regal in honor of our first Belgian, Megaspirit's
Ardent Knight, by our happy new puppy home, Tom Wyatt of Lubbock, Texas.
Thank you. You touch our heart.
