Ace was the puppy I kept from Gem's second litter.   The biggest puppy in his litter, Ace matured into a large, beautiful male with excellent structure and movement, and a full, beautiful coat.   He finished his show championship easily.  The highlight of his show career was winning First Place in the Bred-By-Exhibitor class at the 1997 Belgian Sheepdog Club of America National Specialty under judge Anne Rogers Clark, over some very stiff competition.  I was so proud!   Ace is also a very powerful herding dog.  Now retired, he enjoys being a homebody and is very serious about his role as Protector of my house and farm.
