Carousel's future
breeding plans
Welcome to my planned litter page. I am a member of the American Belgian Malinois club. If you are still trying to decide if a Malinois is right to you I would encourage you to visit the ABMC Home page There is a great deal of information on this page including breeders code of ethics and how to find a breeder.
I'm not breeding for a working sport dog anymore than I am breeding for a Best in Show dog. I am breeding healthy active versatile dogs suited for the conformation ring and AKC type companion and performance events, i.e., obedience, tracking, and agility - and from time to time a litter focused on herding aptitude. First and foremost, I live with my dogs - they are my loved companions. We will always spend more time at the park playing fetch, going for walks and hanging out watching TV rather than at a dog show or trial. Temperament and structure suitable for AKC companion dog and performance events will always be a top priority for me. I will try to improve "type" in future litters rather than introduce flawed temperament and structural faults.
Breeders should have a plan and a goal in mind. Some litters are
part of a bigger picture, not an end goal to themselves, some litters are fantastic, and exceed your wildest dreams and some litters do not turn out exactly as one might expect!
I do look 2-3 generations down the road when I consider a potential litter. Since I do not breed very
often, and I don't keep a kennel of dogs (try to keep my limit to 3-4 dogs), this plan will take time. The success
of this program depends greatly on my puppy buyers, limited use of co-ownerships, time,
and patience! I am very excited about the journey, and hope to find others that
would like to accomplish the goal of breeding Malinois of correct temperament
and type. More than just "show dogs" or just "working dogs" but excellent performance dogs and active, and often demanding companions.

This is a time to remind potential buyers that if you are looking for a "show
only" dog, or a "working sport" dog, I am not be the best breeder to to work with. That said I have bred 3 working sport titled Malinois two to SchH 1 one to a SchH 3, several more young dogs with BH and training in Schultz and Ring sport.
While I want good looking Malinois, temperament and structure for AKC companion dog and performance will always be my primary goal, that said I do like to show my dogs in the breed ring and would rather have a pretty dog, just not at the cost of good temperament. I'm not going to breed for a current fad, or a to die for head or outline. I car about the total package! If you are looking for a dog that has titles on both ends of their name? That is MY goal!
It is also a time to remind people that to reach their potential,
Malinois take time, training, socializing, and understanding. During training be prepared for Malinois to ask you "why?" they are learning,
or what is the purpose of this new behavior.
Few Malinois make a good back yard, or part time pets. Malinois are not
always easy to live with. Malinois love to chase moving objects and many are
master manipulators. They can start the training of their new "human" from the
moment they step into your home. Most are territorial and can be protective of
your home, car, family and children. If left on their own in the back yard they can
be very creative landscapers and alarm systems for all that walk by your home.
If what you want is a more passive dog, who will not speak up and tell you what
it wants, needs or thinks! find another breed!
Available dogs and future litters
All prospective homes will be screened,
Prospective owner will need to fill out a buyers questionnaire.

Apollo has some basic training and been well socialized.
He is good with cats, chickens and other dogs.
He has a wonderful forward social temperament, yet protective of his home, car and yard.
Very good watch dog and also very wiling to hang out and chew on a bone.

Apollo has been shown 3 times Winners dog each time, including 2 supported entries and a major! He was also best puppy in sweeps at ABMC supported entry at MBKC shows July 3-4 He has 6 points

He is just a bit too much dog for his owners current lifestyle.
He needs MORE to do. He deserves his own person.
He has a great start and has an awesome future ahead of him.
Serious show/performance inquires are welcome.
Apollo will be placed on a limited co-own until he has finished his Championship, and has his OFA hips and elbows submitted to OFA

Dam - Bliss vom Schwarzen Basilisk CDX HSAs NA NAJ NAP
Both Seeker and Bliss had updated CERF early in April.
Pedigree for the Seeker x Bliss Litter
I'm very excited for this breeding, I think they will be exceptional pups for performance events and structurally I think the dogs complement each other very well. I would expect the temperament from the pups in this litter hard to beat!
Bliss is a working ranch dog for her owners as well as a high in trial herding dog and HIT obedience dog. She LOVES to work.
I was able to meet 2 of Seeker's pups from his first litter born Sept of 09 when I attended the ABMC National I was thrilled with their temperament! One of the pups with limited showing is almost finished!
I'm a huge fan of Seeker; His amazing forward stable temperament is admired by most everyone who meets him! He flat out has one of the best temperaments in any dog I have met, let alone malinois. He is also a working Service dog for his owner and I was able to see him work first hand for a week as I traveled with him and CJ to St Louis and back and handled the entire trip like it was a day at the park.
I think the pups resulting for Bliss and Seeker will have that wonderful combo of strength of character as well as wanting to please their owner. I would expect some pups to have more energy than would be suitable for a pet home.

This pedigree is SO intriguing to me.
It is the only litter I can think of that will double up on Tessa's mother Music (Ch Souvenir Harmony CD) who was wonderful producer.
The pedigree also includes "Tawny" Ch Desary Damask Daccord CD 2 times and other wonderful show producing dogs that were the heart of the breed in the late 80s and to mid 90s. There are also Multiple connections to dogs
from the Ventaduor Kennel known for produced beautiful dogs (now decades ago)
that excelled in both show and working venues.
Then you add in several Sch 3 and Ring 3 dogs, And O'Neill - sire of the Only Champion Tracker Malinois (when bred to Tessa) and the sire of 2 Dual Champions and Devan his Triple Champions (a first for the Breed) Granddaughter you have an amazing potential with dogs that have proven they can produce working and beauty.
We expect beautiful structurally sound dogs
with willingness to please and strength of character.
This litter will only happen if there is sufficient interest from performance oriented owners!

Carolyn is Devan's owner - These pups will be raised in FL by Carolyn.
PEDIGREE Of potential litter
more...
the 2010 ABMC National had a few highlights for me,
One was seeing Brady, O'Neill's son now almost 13 yrs old and our only Malinois VST passer and Champion Tracker.
Meeting Jack, sire of the Easy litter, such a NEAT dog this young dog will make a mark on the breed I'm sure! just now turning 3 yrs old!
Meeting Jack's Sire Twister! WOW! what an exceptional dog. Even at almost 11 yrs old he is still an exceptional mover and athlete. He has a forward and social in temperament and very resilient. With a little luck he will be working his way into my breeding program also.
And then there was Devan. Wow.. This girl can work difficult cows and come back 20 or 30 min later and work light sheep and go High in Trial! she can run agility, she has wonderful structure and breed type, she is easy to be around taking nap in the middle of chaos. Stable, stable stable! She recently went 8 for 8 runs at an AKC agility trial. July 11 she finished her MACH become the first Triple Champion for the breed! Pretty amazing. She is a very polite and kind with people and other animals tough when she has, gentle when she has to be without letting anything rattle her.
I have to admit I have a very sweet spot for this girl, she reminds me A LOT of her grandfather O'Neill and I can see my sweet Tessa, after all, Devan's mother Minuet and Tessa share the same dam, "Music!". Devan and I had many good visits and chats while at the national. I was thrilled for her as well as her owner and trainer Carolyn Kaiser that she was awarded most Versatile Malinois at the National. She was entered and competed in every venue at the National except Tracking. (Herding - both sheep and cattle; Agility, Obedience, Rally and placed in a very competitive working sweeps bitch class, participated in brood bitch!)

-- Carousel's upcoming plans --
Litter expected late Sept 2010
Cayenne came into Season!!!!
(about 6 weeks before we expected!)
Given the heat/weather shipping is not wise. Because of his age Twister's semen is not going to work for a chilled semen breeding, I have decided to do something unusual for me, I'm going to repeat the Easy litter.
I'm so ready for my own puppy, and I LOVE the Easy pups. That and the litter timing works for me as well as Cayenne's co owner.

We were so excited with the idea of a Twister x Cayenne breeding because of how HAPPY I was with the Easy pups but it is not meant to be.. Jack is a wonderful son of Twister and I can't wait meet these pups. If they are anything like the first litter, wow... they will be awesome puppies.
These pups should excell in herding, show, obed, agility homes.
A
waiting list has started. Watch for updates as time allows.

the litter theme will be "West or Western"

MORE on the
How and Why?
Pups will be
evaluated on their strengths and weaknesses, so that the correct match can be
made for the needs of puppy and new owner. This also requires that prospective owners be realistic about their needs, interests and abilities. It seems more often than I would like an enthusiastic prospective owner over estimates their ability. This may lead to placing the WRONG puppy, into the WRONG home. This is bad for the puppy as well as the new owner. Puppies will not be matched with their homes until all testing is completed at or around 8 weeks of age. While I do keep a waiting list and take a few deposits there is no way I can guarantee I will have a puppy for you. Prior to placement into new homes
all pups will have CERF exams; Microchip ; Puppy temperament tested - using Sheila Booth's, "Positive Puppy Preview";
and have structural evaluations by the well-respected AKC judge Pat Hastings;
author of the "The Puppy Puzzle" Video. Pat conducts hundreds of litter
evaluations per year, and has evaluated all my litters to date.
It is critical for any performance dog that.
1. There is a drive and desire to "work and train" (regardless if it is
tracking, agility, herding or obedience)
2. The dog should have stability of
temperament.
3. The dog must have good to great structure to meet the physical demands of
training and trials.
My pups are raised in the home and yard and often underfoot with extensive socialization and start off with early neurological stimulation. Pups are exposed
to different sights and sounds, crate training, car rides and one on one
playtime with me! Pups are socialized with friends, visitors and family.
All dogs used for breeding are DNA profiled, OFA and CERF evaluated - pups are sold with a written
Buyers agreement.
I will plan to check out prospective buyers you should do the same for ANY breeder! I have some wonderful puppy buyers and I'm proud to present my pups as well as their owners on my web page. Do make an effort to meet dogs from my breeding and talk to their owners, and meet as many malinois as you can before you decide to own one. Most my puppy buyers have email addresses linked on their pups web page - others are happy to be contacted through me. MOST are good about correspondence with email. I think all would be happy to meet prospective buyers so you can meet their dog. I'm most interested that you find a dog that "fits" your lifestyle, needs and goals for your pup, than I am that you get your puppy from me. Also, once I have a litter on the way I sometimes do take deposits to hold a spot on a waiting list. But I wait until the pups are 8 weeks old, temperament tested and structural evaluations to match the pups to my waiting homes. I will not send a puppy to a home unless I feel it is the right match for the new owners experience, needs and expectations.
