Chantal De la Fontaine
In 1988 we bought our first ADRK Leistungszucht bitch "Mona vom Eisplatz", in 1989 "Olga vom Eisplatz" and in 1990 "Peggi vom Eisplatz". With all these dogs we did social obedience, tracking and Schutz.
We started to breed in 1989 under the kennel name "Du Dauchant" Da: Damien (our son), Au: Aure (our daughter) Chant: Chantal .
Our first aim was to breed a family dog with very good character, willing to work and of course according to the breeding standard. We always took males from very good German bloodlines.
We got the owners of our puppies involved in showing and working with their dogs. We therefore created a K9club at home.
In order to offer a good service I followed the training courses at the St Hubertus to become an obedience and tracking instructor.
I passed the exams as an obedience instructor and also as an IPO instructor. We organised some obedience competition, IPO and even a Club Show.
I also followed the Ethology course at University of Namur and after being several times assistant to International Judges; I passed my theoretical exam in June 2001, in 2003 my practical exam and after having jugged the Brussels Dog Show, I was qualified as International judge in 2005.
In 2005, I had the honour to judge:
In 2006,

In 2009
