Caya

 

Caya was born 14. August 2002 in the island of Langeland in Denmark. The breeders of Caya are Mette and Lars Knudsen. We had been looking for Malinois litters in Denmark for a year when we finally found the information that their puppies were just born. As a bonus they were born on my birthday, so this had to be it ;o). We went to visit and became completely head over heels in love with the breeders and the dogs, specially the little, feminine Caya. When she was 6 months old, she moved to Iceland, and after a month in isolation she finally came home to us in february 2003. From the very first day she has been a loved part of the family. She is very lovable with great social temperament. The family had to move back to Denmark because of studies early 2003 and of course Caya moved with us. This meant that she needed to go through isolation again when we moved back in November 2003. In spite of all the moving and isolation, she has not changed a bit. She has responded exceptionally well to all training, always completely in contact, and acts as a real working dog always wanting to please the one training her. We have mostly trained obedience by clicker-training, but she is also starting training to be a rescue-dog (dog that searches for people in the wild). Me and Caya went for the first time to a dog show this summer and did very well, we went again this fall, a little more experienced, and did even better.

We would like to give endless thanks to Mette and Lars and of course to Luise Egedal the owner of Poppey for Caya, for welcoming us to their homes and all the help in importing Malinois to Iceland..
