How my Belgian life begun

Illi came to me in the spring 1991, she was three months old, a real madcap with long legs and big ears. She was not, however, a sweetheart of a puppy because the first thing she did when she arrived new home, she took direction to the centre of town and ran!

It became clear that she was very daring and she always wanted to have her own way. Fortunately Illi was, ever since her puppy-days, very open and fond of people. Therefore, as the unexperienced owner of my first Belgian, I never had to fear how she would cope with different situations and how her stubborness would effect every-day life.
 
Together we learned the elementary of training. The idea was just to train a little, but berfore you knew, it took you all along. We brought home some first prizes from open class tracking, transfer result to a winner class in obedience copetition. We trained messinging just for our own fun. And of course we participated the dog-shows with great enthusiasm. Competitions with Illi declined gradually when I bought my first tervueren Fin&S&Ltu Ch TC 2 Cincyn Elixir and when I seriously started to train with Eppu.
