Ava

Am. CH Montage Jazz Singer PT, P-BAR "Torchy" is a feminine look-alike of her sire Jazz. She is the sweetest, most obedient Belgian I have ever known, a dream to live with, and a gentle, devoted friend to my daughter Mulan. Torchy and Mulan have a very special relationship. Mulan practically lived in the whelping box for all of Torchy's litters! Torchy is very calm and serene in nature but has plenty of drive when working and playing especially if a ball is involved. She loves to swim and retrieve. Torchy is also a good herding farm dog, with a relaxed style for doing chores. She is the dam of the Montage Surfing litter with George x Desi son Thor, the Montage Beach Litter with French import s.r. CH Neartic de la Grande Lande, and the Montage-BasqueLaine Daredevils Litter with George x Marissa son Hero. She lives in New York City with me and my family. Most recently, at age 12, she earned a "Performance Breeder's Achievement Reward" (P-BAR), which requires 50 total points to be accumulated in herding and/or agility titles from offspring and grandoffspring. Torchy is the 3rd generation to earn this award following in the pawprints of her dam Ava and grandsire George. Visit Torchy's P-BAR page to see the list of contributors.

Am/Can. CH Montage Jazz Festival OA OAJ OAC OGC "Teva" loved and was greatly loved by his chosen person Darcy Ferrentino. He closely resembled his sire Jazz. While calm indoors and easy to live with, as a working dog he had tons of intensity and very high focus. Teva rocked in agility, but a cruciate ligament tear and osteosarcoma in that joint brought his agility career to a premature halt. He sired the Montage Shakespeare litter with George x Desi daughter Am. & Can. CH Montage Montrachet PT, AX, AXJ, OJC, NGC, CGC, TDI Bandit, and the BasqueLaine "U" litter with Grimm grandaughter Can. CH Hexen House Iserah (Sweden). Teva went to the bridge at age 7 1/2, but his strong, beautiful Belgian spirit goes on.

Montage Utah Jazz "Utah" died from lymphoma, a non-heritable form of viral induced cancer, at age 4. Although he will never make his big debut in conformation, agility and herding, as I had planned and trained for, one day in the future I will be able to do one very special breeding from Utah with frozen semen from before he became ill. Utah had an exuberant, outgoing character and lots of working drive, with a high speed, hell bent for leather attitude. He had lovely type, a stunning outline, and a rich mahogany coat. His movement was absolutely flawless. Utah was my dear friend and a devoted companion to baby Mulan. He was one of the best dogs I ever bred. I will always remember him with joy.

Montage Just Jazz OA OAJ "Louis" lives with Darlene Hernandez, of Landmark Tervuren, in Orangevale CA. Louis is a big, bold, outgoing, happy goofball. He has his mother's sparkle and his father's flashy looks and attitude. Louis has very high drive, and a beautiful, fluid jumping style. He was a master of the lightning fast "power-weave." Now that he is 11 years old, Louis and Darlene are not trialing any more but Louis comes out occasionally in preferred.

Select Am. CH Montage All That Jazz PT, CGC "Flash" passed on at age 11. He was dearly loved by Rickey Marks. Flash was as light, agile, and fast as his name suggests. He was Rickey's first showdog as well as her first Belgian Tervuren. Rickey worked very hard to learn how to handle him and earned all his points herself. Flash retired from showing with a Select at the ABTC 2006 National Specialty under breeder-judge Debbie Dawe, going all the way to the top of the competition after winning first place in the Herding Titled Dogs class. This was a huge honor and I will always be proud of this win. Flash was an excellent herding dog with a lot of talent, naturally wide and powerful but biddable and calm. Everybody loved Flash! He was one of those dogs that never met a stranger, full of sparkle and happiness.

Montage Jazzmataz CD, HIC, CGC "Jazzy" lived in Pineville SC with Lisa and Brian Epperson. Jazzy Boy was big, bold, outgoing, and sociable. He was pointed in AKC but neutered due to time constraints. Lisa had a lot of fun doing competition obedience with him. He earned his CD with 3 legs in a row, finishing with a 1st place! Check out the photos of them in action on Jazzy's page. Jazzy was also instinct certified on sheep. He was a dearly loved family companion. Jazzy passed on at 12 1/2 after developing CDS, the canine version of Alzheimers. He is greatly missed.

Montage Prince of Jazz MX, MXJ, AD "Monte" left us suddenly due to contracting lymphoma at age 9 1/2. He was owned by Julie Baker in Valley Center CA. Monte was originally in a different home where he ran wild as a puppy and became a bored monster teenager. Julie took him and turned him into an incredible agility dog. The flying Monte-ster was extremely intense, with very high drive. He was a rocket fast presence in the ring and Julie always had trouble holding him back at the start. Besides agility, Monte and Julie loved a nightly game of frisbee, and it was also his job to put away the pet rabbit. I am forever grateful to Julie for giving this dog a wonderful, fulfilling life after his poor start. He adored Julie and was a very happy, much loved dog.

Montage Dizzybird Jazz "Bebop" lives with David and Susan Fetcho in Oakland CA. He is an extremely outgoing, lovable dog, and makes friends wherever he goes. He has great enthusiasm for all activities, especially sheep herding at which he excels. The Bopster can often be found hanging out at cafes and going for long beach walks. He is the sire of the Hot Litter and his lovely daughter Tango shares his home.

Montage Celestial Jazz "Comet" is owned by Nancy Stone in Boise, ID. Lively, regal Comet loves to "help" Nancy with gardening projects such as digging holes and flattening bushes. Somehow, Nancy and husband MJ's yard still looks like a showplace. Comet is a much-loved companion. She shares her home with George x Piper puppy Shadow and assorted cats.
