A research team led by Prof Jacqueline Evans at Cornell University, USA, is studying genetic predisposition to gastric cancer in Belgian Tervueren and Groenendael.
The BSDCNSW has access to a number of cheek swabs by Jackie and was hoping that club members and Belgian Shepherd owners would be interested in participating in the study?
Either a dog diagnosed with gastric cancer (hoping none!) or a dog 10yrs or older with no signs of gastric cancer.
If you PM the club your Australian address we’ll mail out the cheek swab/s with an SAE for the safe return to the committee for collation and bulk submission.
Thanks heaps for assisting with this devastating disease

Satine, my beautiful girl, was put to rest following her battle with Osteosarcoma.
Satine. You were my energiser bunny. We lived through so much these past 13 yrs 5 mths.
You were always such a happy girl who always lifted our spirits with your unconditional
love, smile, and your absolute joy at butt rubs.
Satine, we will miss you always. Love you forever. Our little pink bum.

Arwen passed her ORT on Birch and Anise, and Django passed his ORT on Anise on Friday at the 2nd ACSW ORT Trial held in Qld. I think this makes them the first Belgians to gain ORT's on Birch and Anise in Australia.
I also received some wonderful news about Honey (CH T.CH Belbergere Faxamillion CDII). Honey gained a CACIB at an FCI show in Japan.
​

Jazz has gone to her new home.
It was lovely to catch up with this sweet girl on her way to her new owners. She is lovely very pleased with her.
13 May 2015​
Nellie, my first Belgian who taught me so much. For 14 years we were together through
ups and downs, tears and laughter and together we learnt so much.
You trusted us implicitly and gave us so much love and joy.
​
Nellie, you will be very much missed. Love you always.
27 April 2015
Jazz - Belbergere Faxsmile ( Ashendael PowerOfOne X Demoniaque Sateen HXC) is very much loved, but unfortunately due to circumstances her owners are needing to re-home her. She is a very sweet but active girl that needs an active home with good fences. She would possibly do well at obedience agility or other performance.

I am very humbled and very proud of the referral I have recieved via Craig and Tracey Murray who did the temperament testing on the litter.....
Craig A Murray Dog.Training<https://www.facebook.com/Craig.A.Murray.Dog.Training?ref=stream>
Don't usually say too much about available litters but tested this litter for the breeder in December. Great to meet a breeder that was willing to pay to ensure that she could provide the best possible match of puppy to owner. This was a very nice sound litter of confident pups that showed nice stable behaviours. Naturally environment also plays a big part in raising pups to be nice dogs but it is imperative that you start with good genetics. Pups from this litter available now!!! Contact Sally for more details.....
5 Jan 2013
Puppies available from this litter. Please check out my puppies page for more details.
Many exciting things have happened since my last update. Due to a very busy shedule I have not updated in quite some time.
Satine's puppies are now 9 weeks old, and have had their first vaccinations, microchipping and DNA taken and vet checks
The Puppies were temperament assessed at 7 weeks by Craig and Tracey Murray and the temperament results of the whole litter I am very proud of - this is a very very stable litter.

Puppies!
Well Satine decided enough was enough and decided to get them out early. In the wee small hours our family was increased by 9.
15 Oct 2012
Satine had her final ultrasound today.
All is going well with belly full of puppies and compliments on Satine's health.
3 Oct 2012
New Health testing available for Belgian Shepherds!
ASAP lab site that Belgian Shepherds can now be officially tested for the MDR1 Gene (Multi Drug Resistence{Sensitivity}) which can make some dogs sensitve to such drugs as Ivermectin, Acepromozine, Immodium and many more. Both Nellie and Satine were tested for this when they were DNA'd some years back with normal (or clear) results.
28 Sept 2012
I am very happy to announce that Satine has been confirmed in whelp and healthy.
4 Sept 2012
Satine has been mated to Eli.
Puppies expected early November.
20 August 2012
Satine is in season.
Vet check up and swabs done to make sure all is ok as follow up post pyo. Results back Friday.
8 July 2012
Satine had her first lesson at agility on Thursday - Loved it!
Satine's dad Fax was the first Belgian to gain the title of Supreme Champion on Saturday at the tender age of 11. This is a brand new title in the conformation ring. Congratulations.
22 May 2012
Satine had her final check-up today. All clear and we have a go on breeding her when she comes in season, which is expected to be anytime from August.
​
8 May 2012
Satine had another ultrasound and checkup today and we received good news. She is back in good health- her womanly parts show no sign of dilation, so no further injections needed. We still have to be very careful as Pyometra is re-occuring, however signs are looking good.
All going well, I will be repeating the mating mid-late this year with hopefully happier results.
​
12 April 2012
Unfortunately Satine developed open Pyometra which is now being treated and she is improving. My first thoughts are to get Satine better.
I am looking at possibly trying the mating again when she next comes into season as per the recommendations.
Many thanks to all those who have given me support over the last few days.
24 March 2012
A new epilepsy gene for idiopathic epilepsy in Belgian Shepherds has been found in the canine chromosome 37.
For the full article click here.
While hopefully epilepsy will never affect one of my girls or any puppy I breed, epilepsy is a major health issue in the breed. This is HUGE news in the Belgian world and very much worth putting here. And while testing will still be some way off finally we have some hope.
In news closer to home....
Satine 2 weeks along from 3 hopefully successful ties. Will know more once scans are done at about 5 weeks. Keep checking in!
1 March 2012
Satine has been sent to see her beau Eli for matings at Ashendael Belgians. All going well, puppies due May.
14 Nov 2011
Nellie and Satine ACES eye tests - Clear.
​
10 Nov 2011
Results of Satine's vaccination titre test back - All good. Satine only had her 2 puppy shots and the one year booster -with the one year vaccine, so I am very happy that I have taken the minimal vaccine route.
Satine and I have also started back at obedience. My plan was to start her at agility but we left it a little late in the year to start - maybe next year. However one month shy of 4 years since doing any formal obedience and you would almost think she had never stopped.
6 August 2011
After a long road trip to Victoria, and after quite the eventful and exhausting week, the girls competed in the Victorian Herding Associations inaugral C Course trial.
Day 1; Nellie NQ'd and Satine gained a pass, second place and RHIT (but not a qualifier for the CH title - this needs to be a score of 75 or higher). Day 2; Nellie passed (but not a qualifier for CH) and Satine NQ'd but had a WHOLE lot of fun - I think she would have liked to have gone for another 3 rounds!
Day 3; Sadly I retired Nellie just prior to the end of the 10 min graze - it had all been too much, but Satine thankfully was a tad more settled and gained a pass with a second place, a RHIT AND a Qualifing pass for the CH title.
Oh and we also gained the "reverse yellow jersey chicken beanie" on the last day with Nellie's run - more as payback for buying it than for the actual run - it should have actaully gone to the person who was too chicken to take her dog out 3 days in a row!
17 July 2011
Nellie and Satine both gained their 3rd and final pass in C Course Advanced level at the Continental Herding Club Inc Herding trial under Judge P. Mayne. Nellie again with a 4th place and Satine with a 1st place and a HIT!
This makes them the first Australian titled Advanced level dogs and I think the first Australian bred C Course Advanced titled dogs internationally.
16 July 2011
Nellie and Satine both gained their second passes in C Course Advanced level at the Continental Herding Club Inc Herding trial under Judge J. Mitchell. Nellie 4th place with 81, and Satine with a 2nd place and 85.
