We had been keeping track of interesting breedings over the past few years, with the idea of bringing some new Groenendael lines into our home. When we saw that Hana Pisarčíková was repeating her T litter, of Rex to Sibi, we thought it might be a great opportunity to do just that. Rex was an amazing Ring III dog, competing over 60 times at the highest level of French Ring. We hoped that the Rex x Sibi combination would produce pups with strong, stable, non-reactive temperament, good structure and good breed type. Hana sent us the little green pup and "Kelsey" turned our household upside down!

Kelsey has a very strong character and stable temperament. She's extremely bright and loves to train, earning her HIC (Herding Instinct Certificate) and Rally Novice titles, as well as competing in agility. Unfortunately, Kelsey can be dog aggressive so we didn't compete beyond novice levels. That is also why we never bred Kelsey, although we debated doing so for many years.

Where Kelsey has shone was in being the best puppy nanny ever! Beginning with our litter of 10 in 2011, Kelsey has helped us raise five litters and she is absolutely marvellous with the babies. We've got some great photos and video clips of Kelsey with "her" first litter of babies on the G litter page.
