ABOUT

I imported Bo from Europe in 2001 when she was 4 years old.  She was the foundation bitch for my working bloodline breeding program and in her day brought to Australia an invaluable working pedigree of new bloodlines.

Dogs that I previously thought were energetic and high in prey drive paled in comparison.  Bo spent her life looking for any opportunity to go into intense drive and stayed in drive for as long as possible.  Enormous retrieve drive would never give up if looking for a ball.  She had a good nerve, medium hardness, good grip, fiery and aggressive on the field, social off.  Very fast and spectacular crashing bites in the protection phase.  She came in so fast on the courage test it was very hard for some helpers back in the day to catch her.... These days the helpers are used to the speed, drive and size of the Malinois but in 2001 it was a new experience for most!

Trained and handled by myself in 2002 Bo made her debut into the world of ANKC competitive obedience. Bo was an extremely talented girl when it came to obedience but possessed a bit of a stubborn streak making her challenging to train at times.  Bo gained her CD (Companion Dog Obedience) title with 3 first places and her CDX (Companion Dog Excellent) title shortly afterwards.  This was the first time Queensland ANKC obedience fraternity had seen the speed, drive and intensity of a working Malinois and Bo turned a few heads along the way.

Bo also dabbled in some herding where she showed excellent herding instinct and gained her HT (Herding Title).  Bo was the first Malinois in Australia to be awarded any Herding Title by the ANKC.  In June 2003 at the age of 5½ Bo literally towed me around the 20 kilometers required and gained her Endurance (ET) title.

Late 2003, at nearly 6 years of age, Bo had a career change and went to live with Tracey Jackson where she commenced Schutzhund training.  Bo took to Schutzhund like a duck to water and very quickly gained her SchHA title and shortly after her SchH1 title with a pronounced courage rating and fighting drive under International judge Lance Collins.  I would have liked to have seen Bo achieve her Schutzhund 3 title, and she was more than capable, but sadly due to her late start and breaks due to motherhood duties her age caught up with her before this was possible.

In her retirement Bo stayed with Tracy on a permanent basis.  Bo passed away peacefully surrounded by family one day short of her 12th Birthday.  Rest in peace dear Bo we will miss you and never forget you.
