Meet the breeder
I'm Carol S., the breeder behind CF Phantom Laekenois located in Holmdel, NJ. Our dogs are bred as companions first. We strive to produce healthy stable dogs that are easy to live with.

Q. & A. with Carol
Why did you start breeding?
I was able to co-own a quality Malinois bitch that had everything a Malinois should be. It was with her that my breeding program began. I felt that she would be able to contribute much to the future of the Malinois.What makes your program special?
My program is small, selective, dogs have been accomplished in both family, conformation and performance.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
