The "Chenil de la
Jardinière" is a small privately owned kennel in Louveigné,
Belgium. It was established in May 1969.
This kennel is owned
by a cousin, Freddy Gilles and his wife Jeannine. Their kennel
has been in operation for more than 30 years, producing many
National Champions, both in the European conformation ring and
working trials.
In 1975 all top
winning dogs in the RCBA National championship (Belgium) were dogs
bred from his Kennel. He has been a working dog
Trial Judge for many years, and understands both the working ability
and beauty of the breed.
With little formal training, his keen eye has enabled him
to continue breeding dogs of beauty and soundness to this
day.
Mr. Freddy Gilles has had over 150 first place winnings
in national competition, and has trained dogs accomplishing perfect
scores in Schutzhund.
He is still the highest placing record holder in the RCBA
(The National Belgian German Shepherd Club) for a Belgian registered
dog in the SV Sieger Show. He was also the breeder and
handler.
We are fortunate to have the opportunity
to learn from him, and this is a very valuable connection for any
breeder to have, especially as dog breeding is a very competitive
field.
We are privileged and honored that he has allowed us to
import some of his wonderful lines to breed and train here in the
US, and through his tutoring we have established a kennel based on
the European practice.
We continue to travel to Louveigné, Belgium as often
as we can to learn from him, attend national and regional working
and conformation shows, and steep in the wisdom that has developed
this great breed.
