HAPPY NEW YEAR!
The end of a very busy and exciting year of litters at Vanrusselhof and a whole lot of hard work while working full time!  But we have some very promising up and coming young puppies to show for our efforts who I am sure will make their mark in 2010 and years to come. 

In the working arena 2009 saw us import
Ellis de l’origine de faucon rouge IPO3 BH WP DMC AD-Prüfung (Imp GMY) in whelp to Gino von den kleinen Helden VPG3/IPO3 V1 CAC/BOB  DMC WP + Körung (Germany) which produced our fabulous X litter.  We have 2 very exciting imported frozen semen working litters coming up early 2010 (Cougar Van de Duvetorre IPO3 Mondio Ring 2 X Ellis de l'origine de faucon rouge IPO3 AD-Prüfung DMC-WP) & (Yzer Van de Duvetorre IPO3 X Vanrusselhof Nemesis ) these litters should have taken place in 2009 but will now happen in 2010 when our ladies in waiting finally get around to coming into season…. sigh.  Thanks to everyone who has a puppy on order for being so patient.

In the show rings our special girl Aust CH Vanrusselhof Malena HT ET "Minimee" shone once again winning Best of Breed at the QLD Specialty, Best of Breed and Best Australian Bred in Show at the VIC Specialty and Best of Breed for the 3rd consecutive year at the Brisbane Royal.  Unfortunately due to commitments at home we were unable to attend the NSW Specialty.  Also in 2009 Aust CH Vanrusselhof Sugar N Spice PT & Annette Luck became the first Australian Bred Malinois to ever win any Best in Group 5 award, Aust CH Vanrusselhof Uknow Who owned by M & J Carey boasts a record breaking number of class in group and in show wins & Aust CH Vanrusselhof Diabolo CD CDX ET HIC HT PT BH & Amanda Doyle won Best of Breed at the Toowoomba Royal.  In 2010 we look forward incorporating Zulu Van Balderlo into our breeding program via imported frozen semen with our first litter hopefully due in February.

On the Schutzhund field
Vanrusselhof Krueger & Karyn Worth competed at the Australian Schutzhund Nationals (AUSC) and gained thier IPO3 title with 2nd place and High in Trial Obedience.

2009 also saw Vanrusselhof whelp our first 2 Laekenois litters (Lak A Litter & Lak B Litter) and I look forward to having lots of fun in 2010 and beyond with my new curly baby Vanrusselhof Alicia “Pink”.  On the Laekenois scene Tilly also won Best of Breed at the QLD Specialty and Best of Breed at the Toowoomba Royal in 2009.

I would like to thank our everyone associated with our kennels for their friendship and support in 2009 & we wish you all the very best for a happy and prosperous 2010.

Signing off for 2009.

Amanda Camiller

  • Our Laekenois B Litter arrives
    Unfortunately 1 Boy and 3 Girls were stillborn leaving only 1 surviving male.  This male will be raised here at Vanrusselhof kennels as the Laekenois gene pool in Australia is very limited so we need to retain access to the sires bloodlines for future stud use.  He is very young but so far looks very promising!  Photos coming soon.
