My obsession with these beautiful dogs began in the sixties with the first groenendael in the country but was put on hold until 1989 when I got my first tervueren from the Corsini affix of Amanda MaClaren and Karen Ellis.
She was from their newly imported Lance Van De Hoge Laer to a female from the Niavana kennel (Niavana One of A Kind)
She was never shown but produced 2 litters for Corsini ,one of these from Opium Van De Hoge Laer we kept a female Zeta(Corsini Careless Whisper).
This was two but I could not stop now ! Next to join us was Nova,a lovely grey female (CH.Corsini Bitter Sweet) ,she was to hold the record for female CCs for several years until her tragic early death at 6 years old.
Fourth was Purdey(Corsini Grey Velvet ) who excelled at agility and managed a RES.CC as well.
Both Zeta and Purdey had good long lifespans , managing 15 years before old age took them !

During this time my husband and I divorced and went our separate ways and for a while I could not follow my interest in these lovely dogs.Then in 1996 I met Tommy and life was never the same again ! We set up home together and the girls started their magic on him until in 1999 we had the opportunity to import a lovely young female from Sweden who had many of the great Belgians of the past in her pedigree .This was NL.UK/CH.Hexen House Guinevere so this was the beginning of a great new interest for Tommy !
The start of our new life with our girls you can read in the following pages as it happens !
