Born 7 September 2006
View Nova's Pedigree

"Nova", as in "Casanova", is the beautifu boy that lives here at Beljekali.  As you can see is shaping up to become a very handsome boy indeed!  Nova is a laid back boy who has already been shown with great success, both in the All Breeds ~ winning Puppy in Groups, and Breed Specialties ~ with the latest being 1st & Best Junior Groenendael, onto winning Best Junior in Show ! 

Nova has a keen and calm eye for sheepies and has passed his herding instinct certificates.   Julie and Nova are also preparing for agility and are working on foundation training, so we hope to see him in the agility arena when he's older...
