I'm Diane B., the breeder behind Daimler Belgians and Keeshonden located in Lake Zurich, IL. We breed and show top-quality Keeshonden and Belgian Sheepdogs. We focus on health, temperament, type, and conformation to the breed standards. Our puppies are well-rounded and can excel in competitions, but most importantly, they make wonderful companions for loving families and individuals.
Q. & A. with Diane
Why did you start breeding?
Our dogs are excellent representations of the breed, and we are proud to continue their line. We breed to both help ensure the future of the breed and to improve upon our dogs' fantastic traits with each generation.What makes your program special?
We do an enormous amount of work daily challenging our puppies, resulting in resilient dogs that are ready to meet all the world can offer. We have produced multiple Best in Show, High in Trial winners in both our breeds. We are most proud of our loving companion homes that enjoy their loving, mentally solid, healthy, pretty dogs to their fullest.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
