Gem

A whole lotta things in the universe conspired to bring this lovely "Terv Girl" or "TG" to us, as breeder Robin Watson and I called her. What are the odds? A 'jewel' of a Terv pops out of her Groen x Groen "Glitter" Litter just at the right time for a new puppy in our household, and while her Terv color may be a fault in the US where she was born as a Groenendael, once she 'immigrated' to Canada she became a legitimate Belgian Shepherd!

She is full of personality, steals toys, the bigger the better, and is always happy to meet new people and dogs. Arrow has quickly adopted her as the coolest plaything in the world and he's very gentle with her.

Matriarch of the farm Sulu has decided she is fun to run with. Wow are they ever similar in personality! Steve is convinced she's a natural at agility. She already loves to hop on things.

Gem won her Puppy Class at the Natl Spec in Quebec City in 2011, just a few days over 6 months; at the Elora Gorge Xmas Shows, she took BOB both days. She took BOW under Skip Stanbridge in 2012 and finished her Can Ch in March 2013 at Orangeville. In May 2014 Gem made the first cut of Specials at the 50th anniversary BSDCC Natl Specialty and I was so proud of her, she showed wonderfully though she was completely out of coat!

Steve has competed successfully in CKC, AKC and AHBA herding with her She finished her CKC intermediate sheep & AKC started sheep titles, her CKC started duck title, and her AHBA HTADII-s title,
with many HITs & RHITs along the way!
