Aust/DK/DKBR CH Bryan Vom Haus Mecki IPO3 SchH3 (Imp NWY)

This is what we want to see in a dog, good strong drive, clear head, calm grip.  Even in Belgium it would be rare to find a dog that hits as hard as this dog in the Escape"
Mr Ronny van den Berghe - Current World Champion & 3 times winner of WSUV World champs


"A prestige animal that is very well trained and very well presented, this is what we all want to see super grip and speed, an excellent performance"
John MacDonald - AUS Judge

"Excellent dog, super grip and very calm and clear headed for a Malinois"
Harou Masuda Japan - Multiple WUSV and FCI world champions

"That is one hell of a dog!"
Steve Austin - recognized as one of Australia's most qualified dog handlers who holds the contract with the Australian Quarantine Service for the training of their dogs which are used at Australia’s major airports.

Firstly let me thank you from the depths of my heart for allowing me to use Bryan.  Who would not be impressed by this dog? Bryan is the epitome of the Belgian Shepherd Dog, being an ardent protector when required.  Bryan is biddable and sociable at rest, but reacts with laconic speed when called upon.  Bryan has proven breed type with correct front and rear angulations and correct topline (flowing from tip of ears to tip of tail).  I am sure he has faults - but his overall mien makes you forget the detail.
Richard and I are looking forward to watching the puppies from the Bryan Heidi combination mature, and we are confident they will make a valuable contribution to our breeding program and first-rate working dogs in their prospective homes.  I cannot recommend Bryan highly enough to anyone who is looking to obtain/breed Malinois that have function over fashion, and sound characters.  There are other Malinois out there who are said to be the true package, but if they haven't got the wins on their belt, they are a mere shadow of what a real Malinois should be!  Bryan - he may not be the Messiah,  but he's close!!!!"
Lynda Trotter - Group 5 Working Dog All Breeds Conformation Judge, Breeder and Exhibitor of the Belgian Shepherd Dog for over 20 years.


"In my mind Bryan was one of the best pups what we have produced. Very good nerves, very good drive and a lot of other benefits"

Vonrusselhof Impact

"Just thought I send you an update on how “Kobe” Vanrusselhof Impact from your “I” litter is doing. Kobe is now just over 16 months and has taken to Schutzhund/IPO like a duck to water. Her coat has now just started to darken a little as she has just come out of her second season however she is still small in size and compact compared to her litter brother Vanrusselhof Ignition “Tag” who has a little more substance and taller. Hopefully over time she will put a little bit more weight and muscle on and look like her mum “kaiah”.
Because of her willingness to please character she has been very easy to train and learns very quickly, I believe that a lot of this is due to her genetics as it all comes to her like second nature. She has a very high drive and recovers very quickly from bad experiences and corrections. I have been training Kobe three times a week and she is picking up the components to the sport really well. In obedience her heeling is coming along really well, all I have to do is fine tune things like heeling off lead, work on the slow and fast pace and learn the full “BH” pattern and rules for myself, we will then both be ready to trail. Kobe’s character work is also coming along really well too as she has very good full grips and is now doing the hold and bark and the escape routine really well. Kobe shows very good work ethics in tracking and is very diligent in her work however this is one part of the sport that will take much more time, effort and persistence in getting right from me and her.
All in all, the jigsaw puzzle is coming together really well and I cannot wait to see the finished product. Thank you for selecting the right dog for me and breeding such a wonderful working/sporting dog."

Vonrusselhof Ignition

"Tag is a bit over 15 weeks old and I must say he is a WINNER!  So much go but a super calm and social dog, what a pleasure to have around and what a thirst for learning!
His accelerant detection work is progressing so well I have to stop myself putting harder work up to him. I have to keep reminding myself that the little bugger is only 15 weeks old! He will not give up the search until he finds his narc pipe (with the reward in it). Great stuff!
IPO prep work is just sensational; he just loves to work. His tracking is very stable and intense with 70 step food tracks completed with ease. His beginner obedience has intense focus and very good concentration for his age and the ball retrieving is as it should be, fast out and faster back! Stationery obedience exercises are fast, happy and with concentration.
Rag work is really pleasing. Really hard bites and there is no adjustment, no growling and most importantly, no closing of the eyes when pressure is applied, even when 3 to 4 feet off the ground. He will charge at you during the back up and will not slow down at the point of contact! Great attitude and he will come back for more every time.
At the moment his progress is very pleasing.
Both ears are up and quite solid. No taping was necessary, just massage and praying. He looks a bit like Crusader Rabbit but no doubt his skull will develop and proportionality will reign!
Tag is nearly 15kg and not an ounce of excess to be seen. He has quite pronounced muscularity in his shoulders (even at this age); I think he's going to be one solid boy!
  He has a pleasing body shape and head, a bit long in the leg at the moment, but I think he will turn out to be a very nice dog.
Thanks for a great dog."
