I'm Nina L S., the breeder behind Obelisk Belgians located in Temple, PA. I breed selectively and purposely. I take pride in my program and my dogs and truly want the best for them and their forever families. My ultimate goal is to produce athletic and well-structured canines that can excel within various performance venues and have the ability to be the greatest family companions. I am passionate about the work I do and truly love my dogs.
Q. & A. with Nina L
Why did you start breeding?
I fell in love with the breed but saw a huge difference between "working" line and "show" line. This breed should be both. My dogs are a combination of the best of both. I also don't consider bite sports working dogs. That isn't working. It's an activity. My dogs actually do have jobs.
What makes your program special?
My number one focus is temperament, followed by structure and work ethic. My dogs are beautiful but they are solid citizens. I listen to what you want as a buyer and try to match you with the appropriate puppy. My clients become family members. I provide support and guidance for the life of your puppy.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
