Good luck with this dog. I have privately sent details of a home in central Qld that is wanting to adopt the dog - and is a long time Belgian owner. Seems like a perfect solution to save shipping costs to Brisbane. This home is happy to foster while the search continues for the breeder of the dog. Have the microchip records been checked to see if the breeder is listed as 2nd point of contact? Dogs Qld has all microchip details on file for pedigree registered dogs (has been mandatory in Qld since Jan 2011 from memory, and Qld was the last state to come on board with this) - once you have the chip number, Dogs Qld can contact the breeder on behalf of Rescue. Is this a Groenendael (long coated black)? Is it a male? Is it neutered? Any distinguishing markings? Is it's original pet name known? There have been photos posted on Face Book (but now the posts are removed), but it is unclear if these were of the actual dog, or a stand-in. If photos of the dog in question can be publicly posted, breeders can diseminate amongst themselves to see if they recognize the breed type as their own. The state breed clubs are always happy to assist by emailing all members. Yes, Qld does have a Belgian Shepherd Dog Club www.bsdcq.com which runs a breed specific rescue service. The secretary can be contacted at [email protected] Let us all know more details that can assist each of us to try to find out who the breeder is, and to help find the dog a new home.
