Our property on the far south coast is called ‘Dalibel’.

 

Dalibel was founded by Rae Bryce who has mentored Tanyia for over 40 years. The first dog Tanyia and Rae bred together was Dalibel My Mentor at BelginOZ during the process of handing over the Dalibel prefix to Tanyia and Adam.

Tanyia and Adam live on the far south coast of NSW, between Bega and Eden - in the mountains but very close to the sea.

Our goal is to breed dogs that are versatile. Performing well in dog sports and conformation shows while still being your best friend and easy to live with companion.

Adam and Tanyia are a strong team with Adam handling the dogs at conformation shows and Tanyia doing the training, grooming and managing the day to day needs of the dogs.

Tanyia has taught agility and socialisation at local dog clubs and trains their dogs for show, agility, herding, obedience and scent work.

Adam loves long distance bushwalking of which Aslan is a regular companion. He is passionate about genetics and has bred poultry for over 30 years.

Aslan, Qila, Kiss, Tarlo, Bel, Maddie and a Japanese Spitz called Pink live with Tanyia and Adam on their property ‘Dalibel’.

The dogs run and play most the day on Dalibel where they can access a creek that flows down from the snowy mountains, two dams, natural bushland and agility obstacles.

Most weekends the dogs are either out competing, bushwalking or at training.

Belginoz Belgian Shepherds imported the beautiful HJCh. Aust Ch. Qila De La Terre Sauvage (imp Hun) HT, launching what started as a dream into a reality.

Belginoz began with our mutual admiration of this amazing dog - Ackley (S SR. Hun.Gr.Ch AD IPO3 Hun.Gr.Ch. MBIS, MBISS Ackley Clever Canin )

Over several years, Tanyia had admired a stunning dog in Greece called Ackley (S SR. Hun.Gr.Ch AD IPO3 Hun.Gr.Ch. MBIS, MBISS Ackley Clever Canin) and dreamed of eventually owning an Ackley puppy. When Lynda found an Ackley daughter for sale in Hungary - the beautiful Qila - HJCh. Aust Ch. Qila De La Terre Sauvage (imp Hun) HT – we knew we had to bring her here to Australia.

This was the beginning of Tanyia and Lynda teaming up to bring Qila to Australia with the intention of using semen from the fabulous Fax - MBIS Hun.Ch. Svk.Ch.Sup.Ch. Bergerac Faust IPO1 AD JD GD (imp Hun) and breeding together under BelginOz Belgians.

With Lynda passing BelginOz is now owned by Tanyia who will always appreciate the wonderful legacy that Lynda has left.

Belgian Shepherd breeder - Fax

Fax - MBIS Hun.Ch. Svk.Ch.Sup.Ch. Bergerac Faust IPO1 AD JD GD (imp Hun) Fax was imported to Australia by Lynda and was a remarkable dog in so many ways.  He was a crucial part of our plans at Belginoz to breed healthy Belgian Shepherds. Fax had a great working ability, superb temperament and is arguably one of Australia’s best ever Belgians Shepherds. Not only a Supreme Champion but also multi titled in Agility, Herding and IPO. Fax achieved nearly all of his points towards his supreme title with Ashley Hoffman and Tanyia competed with him to earn his Australian working titles.

We are eternally grateful to Agnes at Terre Sauvage Kennel in Hungary for trusting us with Qila and to Ackleys owner Grzegorz Koziol (Greece) for his inspiration, friendship and support. Also for sharing his love of Ackley on Facebook so we could share a small part of their journey.

 So, what are we breeding for?

There are so many aspects to a Belgian,  and we all love them for countless reasons. However when breeding, we make our plans with lots of research as our goal is always to improve our lines with our guide being the written FCI breed standard.

A breed standard describes the perfect type, structure, gait, and temperament of each breed — the characteristics that allow the breed to perform the function for which it was intended.

The power, elegant strength and medium bone is something that is important to us and the style of Belgian we believe is to type and fit for purpose as a working dog.

We aim to produce harmoniously proportioned Belgians, square in stature and with free-flowing effortless movement, maintaining elegance without losing power and strength.

We are breeding for health and working ability so our dogs can be fabulous family members for many years to come.

We don’t have all the answers and continue to learn and grow with every discussion we have about Belgians. We hope that we get the pleasure of having a conversation with you about Belgians as well.
