RIVERTAILS
What started with an amazing puppy turned into a 4-generations family, filled with dedication and passion for our redheads!
Our Toller adventure started in 2009, when Suki made his entrance into our lives. In 2010, Miwa joined the family, a wonderful girl with a very soft temperament. The combination Suki x Miwa will always remain a dream as Suki had to be neutered for health reasons, but little did we know Miwa would give us 2 wonderful litters, she is a true star and we are very proud to have her as a foundation in the future of our kennel.
The younger generation is showing all the qualities we love, they are all healthy, social and active dogs. We plan our litters carefully with lots of planning, researching, hoping to find the perfect match.
All our puppies are raised in a warm home, learning dog skills from the whole group, undergoing an intense socialisation program, loved and cared deeply for from the moment they were born. We care for their futures and love to stay in touch with, the carefully selected, forever homes, throughout their entire incredible lives.
Health, show and work results of our dogs can be found on their own pages.
OUR PASSION
A dedicated team, working together, covering physical activities and mental challenges, in various dogsport divisions, we breath life into our dogs through beautiful form and function.
THE TEAM
Dogs do speak, but only to those who know how to listen – OneMind Dogs
Marc Boeykens
Marc has been training German Shepherds for more than 25 years. Scent training, protection work, obedience … the German Shepherd is a versatile dog. He believes in many cases a dog doesn’t understand what his owner is telling him to do, so dog training starts almost every time with training ourselves to learn the language of your best friend.
His love for the Shepherd started with an intensive 4-months course as a K-9 Dog Trainer, followed by a 1-year course with a dedicated K-9 Scent Dog. Marc has also finished a 2-years course as a certified dog instructor. He also followed a 6-weeks course on T-Touch and Dog Massage.
