Ashendael
kennels is co-owned by Narelle Hoffman & daughter
Ashley.
We are a small
kennel who selectively breed and enjoy active involvement
in the show ring.
Our involvement
with Belgian Shepherds spans over 20 years. During this
time we have been very fortunate to have bred and owned
some outstanding dogs and bitches. We have seen our beloved
Belgians through to multiple Best In Show and Runner-up
Best In Show awards, and group wins at some of the largest
and most prestigious shows in this country.
In 2002 Ashley worked
as an assistant for professional all breed handlers in
the USA for 8 months. She has also had the opportunity
to handle dogs in Canada, United Kingdom and
France
and
is often seen assisting friends in other groups.
Ashley is President of
the Belgian Shepherd Dog Club of NSW, whilst Narelle has
been the clubs treasurer for a number of years.
Proud members of
the Belgian Shepherd Dog Club of New South Wales, Working
Dog Club of New South Wales and the Royal New South
Wales Canine Council.
Please feel free to contact
us regarding enquiries about the breed or our kennel.
We
hope you enjoy our site!
