Roy was purchased from les Betulacees at age 8 weeks and is a “fan favourite” for his handsome looks and silly personality. He has the cutest prancy focused  heel imaginable! I chose him as my USAR HRD dog because of his strong hunt drive, bold bark, and tendency to climb on the USAR agility equipment on his own. His ability to climb and his precise, careful approach to maneuvering makes him very agile on the rubble piles. Roy also has very flashy obedience and has just begun his competitive obedience career, earning his AKC Rally Novice and Beginner Novice titles at his first two trials. Roy earned his AKC TD in Fall 2021. Roy is a very gentle soul but has a powerful tug game that no one is prepared for due to his size and precise nature. He is a serious little thinker when working out a problem, but a silly goof most other times. A son of Baxter Ostraryka and Dara Meggan Bohemia, he has inherited the sweet temperament and incredible athleticism of his parents. I am so very thankful and fortunate to have this excellent male as my foundation stud.

Quita was imported from Belgium at age 2. Her breeder, Theo Berkers, had been training her in IGP which I have continued to do.  I hope to trial her for an IGP 1 and 2 in fall of 2021. Quita has started her competitive obedience career, earning her AKC CD right out of the gate, and is well on her way to her CDX.  She also shows in conformation and currently has 8 AKC championship points to her name. I’m planning to show her in Canada as well! In the meantime, Quita has learned detection skills and is being finished as a narcotics detection dog. Quita is exceptionally beautiful; the perfect example of what a Malinois should be and what I hope to produce.

Tyylikas is the youngest member of the operation.  She has a very very strong personality but is incredibly trainable and takes immediately to any task I set for her. Tyylikas took to detection faster than any dog I have ever handled, and ditto with tracking! We are really looking forward to her detection validation and next year’s tracking season. IGP is probably in this girl’s future!

“Terav” is a Tervuren by breeding, but is actually the result of a Terv/Groen breeding. She has a LOT of Malinois in her pedigree and Embark identified her as 100% Malinois!  She is an absolute delight to have around. She is intelligent, sweet, well mannered and full of life. She’s the glue that holds the pack together – she gets along with everyone and is universally loved. Her off leash recall is unbelievable – she turns on a dime the second she hears her name. She has proven to be a natural talent in tracking. She earned her AKC TD on her first try in 2021 and will be going for TDX and VST in 2022. She will also start her competitive obedience and conformation career in 2022. I’m very much looking forward to seeing what this beautiful and talented young lady brings to the table over the course of her career.

Oria is a powerhouse. With muscle to spare and an unequalled hunt drive, she is the strongest detection dog I’ve ever seen. Her intense sniffing pattern and refusal to quit is really something to see. Her trainability makes her excellent in obedience, with a beautiful focused heel and eagerness to learn something new. She’s not a dog to mess with as she has a serious side. Even so she’s incredibly biddable. She goes out on the retrieve just as emphatically as she comes back. She does everything 110%. For such a stout, strong, high drive, serious dog she almost never requires correction. She’s incredibly handler focused. She is my favorite to work with in obedience.  I’ve been told she probably should be a dual purpose police K9 somewhere, but sorry, I’m too attached! Oria is an accelerant detection dog and is my partner in a special detection dog project (to be revealed later: stay tuned). She’s also training in tracking and IGP.
