Meet the breeder
I'm Brittany M., the breeder behind Nordstern Tervuren located in Buffalo, NY. Nordstern is a small program dedicated to breeding sound working line Belgian Tervuren. I am a trainer and very involved in dog sport. Puppies are raised at home, set up to receive the best foundation to live a healthy & purposeful life when leaving our home.
Q. & A. with Brittany
Why did you start breeding?
I picked up Korra as a puppy in 2021, and started training in IGP straight away. I fell in love with the breed, and have spent the past few years researching all I can find about Belgians. I didn't bring Korra home with the intention of starting a breeding program with her, but she has shown me with maturity how she's a great representation of the breed.What makes your program special?
Korra is health tested beyond what is required for Belgians. She is also titled to a very high standard. Because I'm also a dog trainer, I can separate what about her is from training, and what is her genetics. It's important to me that any puppy who leaves my care is in the right home.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include mahogany and black and fawn and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

About Korra
Korra is titled with her BH, BT-X, and IGP 2. She's a very active dog, but can switch it off at home. She has high food and toy drive, and loves to problem solve to work for a reward. She's neutral with strangers, extremely loving to those she knows. Environmentally can be taken anywhere. She has a silly personality, and loves a good cuddle.
