I am so excited to be able to use O'neill in My Breeding Program, And I cannot Thank Catherine Sheilds at Carousel enough for the opportunity. O'neill is a very exciting dog for me as he has a very old pedigree that is very hard to find these days. (From the Carousel Website) "O’Neill had 3 litters in the United States, Trew Bleue’s “Music” litter (10-95), Roulet’s “Casino” litter (6-96), and Carousel’s “Rumor” litter (8-97). O’Neill’s litters have produced - A Best in Specialty winner, the first Herding Champion Malinois, the first Dual Ch Malinois and the first and as of May 2009 6 yrs later still the only Champion Tracking and VST Malinois. O'Neill has produced multiple dogs with Breed Ch, Agility titled, Herding titled, Tracking Titled, obed titled and over all wonderful companions" Oneill Grand-kids are also very talented, including a CH. OTCH.
O'neill Needs no introduction to herding enthusiasts. Their are 5 Dual Champion Herding Malinois in the United States~ One is an O'neill son, One is an O'neill Daughter, one is a O'neill Granddaughter and the 4th is an Oneill descendant. O'neill's youngest litter is now 12 years old, and Thanks to Frozen semen, we are just trilled have some O'neill kids!

Cami is a bitch that I imported from Australia at just over 1 year of age from Lynda Trotter at Belgenbeau. Cami is a very fun bitch, that lives to work and to please. I have not found a dog sport that she cannot do with zest :) She had a previous litter at Belgenbeau the Romeo litter. Cami is a busy dog that does everything at full throttle, but she does have an off switch. She absolutely adores kids and infants. I do not quite trust her around Cats and chickens as she has a very, very high prey drive. However I think she is going to make a very nice herding dog, and I have just started training her in herding. She also will be my next obedience dog, as she is very precise in her obedience work.
I think Cami has a lot to offer in my breeding program, she is one of the most stable Malinois ever met, and has all of the working qualities that I require as a my personal competition dog (and I think I have pretty High standards :)) Cami has no environmental issues that I have found. She is intensely, intensely toy motivated. She will fetch all day long, and loves to run around the house with something constantly in her mouth. Obedience: her style is very flashy, and is aware of her body while healing. Retrieves are fast and steady, with no mouthing for the dumbbell. Tracking: I am working on slowing her down, but she has a very deep nose in tracking. Protection: loves the fight, has self confidence with the helper, making eye contact. Very high prey drive. Agility: no problems with any of the obstacles, I am looking forward to starting her in NADAC in 2010
10/31/11 Litter update:
This litter was a pretty severe outcross. I did get some softening of Cami's temperament which I was looking for. Three of the pups really got O'neill's outstanding herding drive.~Just a general kindness to the stock. I did keep a male from this litter that I can hopefully ad into my breeding program at some point with my Brook kids for linebreeding on O'neill. One of the bitches in this litter is reactive to pressure from Dogs and people. Both of the bitches in this litter are spayed.
