Rough Collies "Of Montegue Meadows"
About us
Guy & Sonja Devriendt-Verhaert
Hello to all Collie lovers,
Here we are, Guy and Sonja from Scherpenheuvel (Montegue) - Belgium.
We started with Rough Collies almost 30 years ago and were happy to be successful at the shows from the beginning.
After 10 years of winnings, we decided to take a short break, in order to concentrate on our professional career,
to build a new house and to put most of our energy in our son Dieter,
who is a succesful lawyer now.
The short break took finally 12 years and with the support of some people, who we love very much,
we started again with two lovely imports :
Eros and Diva.
They both won their first competitions at International Shows with
1st Excellent + CAC + CACIB + BOB.
We would like to thank very much the following people for their help and support :
- Hughie and Elsie Jones (Seafire Collies)
- Valerie and John Geddes (Ingledene Collies)
- Marja-Liisa Aapaoja (Golden Mist Collies).
We hope to have a lot of fun with our two youngsters and with their future puppies.
Enjoy when you go through our website and see you all at the next shows to come !!
Update : Between our new start and today, Eros, Diva en their children "Demi" and "Lance" became Champion/Multi Champion, their litter sister "Sky" and her childeren are very succesful at the shows in England, and in Apr 15, our new boy Tjorven "Golden Mist Special Performance" import Finland, started to win his competitions in Belgium and abroad. In the meantime, also Tjorven became Multi Champion.
In Mar 15, I started my FCI judging career and at the moment I am allowed by the Belgian Kennel Club to Judge the following breeds at National and International Shows : Rough Collies, Smooth Collies, Shetland Sheepdogs, Border Collies, Bearded Collies, Australian Shepherds, Welsh Corgi Pembrokes, Welsh Corgi Cardigans, Old English Sheepdogs, Australian Cattle Dogs, the Polski Owczarek Nizinny, the Schipperke, the Nederlandse Schapendoes, the Belgian Shepherd Dogs (the Groenendael, the Tervueren, the Malinois, the Laekenois), the Berger de Brie (Briard), the Bouvier des Flandres, the Swiss White Shepherd Dog, the Berger de Beauce (Beauceron), the German Shepherd Dog, the rest of Group 1, the Rhodesian Ridgeback, the Dalmation Dog,
Many Collie Greetings,
