Vanrusselhof was the first kennel in Australia to
utilize Zico vd
Berlex-Hoeve's bloodlines
with imported
frozen semen in
2003 before
Zico
was imported to
Australia in 2005.
The combination
produced 3 female Malinois puppies.
I imported semen from Zico in 2001 when he was
a young unknown dog after watching his IPO workout
on video aged 14 months old.
I was impressed by Zico and thought he was a
dog that would go to the
top - and he did placing
3rd on a tie breaker with the same overall score as
the winner at the
IPO World Champs in 2003.
