Dermott Young: I am truly excited and honored to be a part of the Ohio Valley Belgian Tervuren Club 2011 “Run for the Ribbons” Regional Specialty.

My life with dogs, more specifically Belgian Shepherds, began in the late 80's. Both of my dogs came from old lines locally bred. I showed these dogs in conformation, agility and obedience taking them all the way to utility. Although they were wonderful dogs, they lacked type and had serious health issues as a result I decided to do something for this beautiful breed.

My search took me to Belgium and thanks to Eric Desschans I was blessed with a great dog - his name was Perfect of the Two. Perfect was joined by Gabelle de la DoucePlaine, a beautiful female with gorgeous type and excellent character. From there the Klaar kennel name was selected, which means “Clear” or “Clean”. Gabelle produced a beautiful female, CH KlaarAltesse La Foi V Kouros - “Tessy”, she won the UKC Specialty and three ABTC Regional Specialties. I have shown my dogs in Holland and France, winning four s.r. titles at the French Specialty.I bred the first North American Tervuren to gain this title, s.r. BISS Can CHKlaar Perfect GrysGeest “ Ghost”, he was 6th Excellent at that show. At homeI have won the Canadian Specialty twice, multiple best Canadian bred titles, many wins at the ABTC Specialty and UKC Specialty Shows. I am the proud recipient of five ABTC BAR awards: Perfect gained all three BAR titles; Wanda her C-BAR and Twinny her P-BAR. My breeding's have produced OTCH and HITs in obedience; tracking and agility titles including MACHs;Breed Champions in UKC, CKC and AKC, BISS and BIS dogs. All the above and much more, were made possible by the marvelous Klaar people and their dogs.

Along the way I have made many great friends...the result of having these great dogs.
