Loupe. 1991-2001
My sweetest, kindest, and softest boy Belgian Sheepdog. He did not grow up with small children, but he became a big teddy bear to any child who wanted to hug him, and he enjoyed it. This photo breaks my heart. I was saying good bye in this moment. It’s one of the only digital photos I have of him.

This old lady is Cantie (Sierra’s High Desert Kyla) my first Belgian sheepdog back in 1989. She was an education for me. We worked hard at obedience and she got her CD, we learned tracking together, she could do an agility course, and I would have gone further with her if she hadn’t gotten Epilepsy. A disease that 18% (at one time) of Belgian Sheepdogs get. She lived a good full life to the age of 16.5 years.

Belgian Sheepdogs have been my passion for 30 years. These two below are Lobo de Diablo 2003-2019, and Ember, a rescue I had for a while.

Bethmw. Very well said. This is exactly what I did with my Belgians. Disengaging and leaving is also a very good technique when the “ouch” doesn’t work. Just remember Raymond, it take a while. Don’t expect too much from such a young dog.

Sounds like a really good way to be.
