First of all, I would like to
thank you a lot for accepting to answer to my questions. Let' s begin with your
ansewrs.
1.Luc, it is known that you
come from a family with a long breeding history. Describe to us a few things
about waterslagers of that time and if you remember something that had made an
impression on you. Do you think there are differences between the old
waterslagers and the new?
Hi,
Yes it’s true that I come from a family whit a history
on waterslagers.
I have a diploma from 1887 whit a medallion from king
of Belgium Leopold the first
The song of the
waterslagers is in the past years a little change. The different whit the birds
from 1970 are the birds now is that the NEW
have more different tours. The OLD birds they are slower and they have a
few tours less than the new one.
2. When did you become a
judge? What does it take to become a good judge? Which are the qualities of a
good waterslager in your opinion?
I start whit waterslagers when I was 14 years old and
become a card for aspirant when I was 16 years old. I learn from my father and
other old judges, like Roseau, De Grijze ect…..
After that I was judge for the KBFK, and after 7 years
I did my examine for OMJ judge in 2005.
A good waterslager needs all the water tours, whit
first a good slow and deep klok and now faults.
3.How many birds do you breed
per year? Tell us some secrets about your breeding.
I breeding a 150 birds. I breeding whit 30 females and
a 20 males. I have no secrets, but every breeder has its own theories and
method. Important is that the birds have a good healthiness.
4.How do you see the prosses
of today's malinois in Belgium? Are there new breeders that follow the steps of
the older breeders?
How I see the future for the malinois in Belgium:
There now many young breeders, year after year the old breeders stop but now
young people start. I see in other countries like Greece, spain, Italy and
even America there still growing and al
more young people starting whit the malinois. I hope we can many years enjoy
the malinois over all the world.
5.I know that some breeders
use Hartz's birds for breeding. What is your opinion on that cross thing? Which
could be the result over time?
Breeding whit harzer, my opinion is that a harzer is rol
and soft no Metallica and nasal. I now that some breeders experiment whit
harzer. That makes also the different whit birds now and the OLD. More tours,
faster more nazal ect…..
For more information, I think they are many sites
where you can find it. If you have a specific question, let me now.
That's all. Thank you again
for your answers. I hope that some day you will come as a judge at OEM, my
club, here in Greece. If possible post some pictures of your breeding.
I make photos today and I send it to you.
Whit kind regards
Vermincksel Luc.
