This litter brought together the structure, bone, coat and sheer pizzaz of Thor, with the lovely type of Torchy.
We chose a surfing theme
because both parents love to swim in the surf on our beach.
These pups gave us a surprise when they were born, as three of
them were black, despite five generations of all Terv colors behind them.

CT, BPIS Can. CH Montage Surfs Up VCD1, CDX, PT "Malibu" is owned by Maura Hogan in Syracuse NY, and is proudly co-owned by Montage.
Malibu made her show ring debut at 6 months old in Canada since she cannot show in AKC due to being a "black Tervuren." She breezed through her championship, finishing in style with a Best Puppy in Show
at Valley KC under judge Margaret Robertson. Maura's main focus has been in AKC performance sports. Boo completed her CDX with a 1st in Open A, added a TD and TDX in tracking, plus agility and herding
titles. She earned the ABTC Versatility Award in May, 2009. A "Versatile" Belgian Tervuren must earn a title in four out of the five AKC activities -- conformation, obedience, tracking, herding, or agility.
Malibu has titles in all of these categories! She is the first Montage dog to achieve this high award. On June 20, 2010, Boo reached another milestone by earning a Variable Surface Tracking (VST) title
to become the 15th Champion Tracker Belgian since the start of the AKC program in 1995. We are all incredibly proud of the multi-talented, beautiful Malibu!
Montage Surfer Girl HT "Gidget" is owned by Karen Franz in Sussex NJ. Gidget is a striking dark gray color like her sire and a clone of her mother Torchy. Gidget is high energy and lots of fun.
She is outgoing and friendly, and especially loves children. Exceptionally agile, she was once found perched 10 feet up on top of the outdoor covered pool! Gidget earned her novice AKC herding title as a youngster,
showing lots of potential with a powerful, wide-working style. She is a much loved family companion.
Montage Mavericks Surf Break HSAs, RA, R1CL, R2CL, FO, CGC "Maverick" lives with Rob Meiners and Susan Geers-Meiners in Bethel OH at Dogwood Farm. He is a big, silly dog, rarely seen
without something in his mouth. Like his parents, Mavey loves to swim, and is an excellent retriever in and out of the water. He is sweet natured, affectionate, and easy going. Mavey has his own herd of sheep at home to
train on and he is now working on his Intermediate sheep title. He won 1st place in HIAs at the 2007 ABTC National Specialty for his first Herding Intermediate leg.
In AKC Rally-O, he is trialing in Excellent. In APDT Rally, he has 78 championship points and three double Q's toward his ARCH. He is also started in tracking.
A very versatile boy!
Montage Point Break Surf NAJ, HIC "Breaker" went to the Rainbow Bridge to be with his dad and granddad at 10 years old. He was the much loved companion of Maeve Knapp in Syracuse NY.
Breaker was a big, handsome dog with beautiful grey color, very similar in looks to Thor. He was calm and sweet natured, with a great willingness to please. He also had goofy sense of humor and we all enjoyed his silly side. He was athletic and
brave, following Maeve's daughter Amanda down slides and over mini suspension bridges at the playground. As a young dog, Breaker dabbled in agility earning a Novice Jumpers title, and he was instinct certified on sheep. When Maeve was
running a dental practice, Breaker went to work with her every day. He made many friends wherever he went - people always said he was the coolest dog! He was an absolutely wonderful ambassador for the breed. Breaker loved traveling
with Maeve, especially to the Adirondacks which was his favorite place in the whole world. Sometimes my daughter and I joined them for summer vacation at the Wawbeek Resort and we really enjoyed having Breaker around. He got on beautifully
with Thor and George. Great memories of times shared! I am so glad to have bred this special, wonderful dog.
Montage Midnight Surfer MX MXJ "Midnight" is owned by Marek Fludzinski in New York City, NY. Midnight enjoys hanging out in the city, and can often be seen in the city parks. He gets plenty of running
time on weekends at the family's country home in Garrison. Midnight is Marek's first Tervuren and competition performance dog. He is a high focus, high speed dog. Midnight and Marek breezed through novice jumpers and standard with all class placements. They also earned multiple
open legs with perfect scores and 1st places, and the advanced jumpers title with a 1st and 2nd place. Mid retired from agility with his MX and MXJ, and a double Q toward his MACH.
