Welcome to the website of Xanova Belgian Shepherds. We are Babs Robinson and Tommy Goode. My first siting of this lovely breed was in the sixties when I met the first Gronendael imported to the UK. It was to be a few more years before I was able to acquire my first Tervueren from the Corsini kennel of Amanda Maclaren and Karen Ellis. 'Zany' was never shown but I was hooked. I was to have 3 more females from Corsini, one of whom 'Nova' was to hold the CC record in England for a few years.

In 1996 I met Tommy and we set up home together where the girls weaved their magic on him and he now adores the breed as much as I do.

We enjoy showing in England, Ireland, Holland, France and Belgium where we enjoy meeting old friends who share our love of this beautiful breed.

I also serve on the committee of the BSDA of GB helping to organise shows and functions which tends to keep me pretty busy!.

I love to have a go at agility also which the dogs love, it all helps to keep you fit!.

Tommy and I live in a little village in Surrey not far from Heathrow airport where we breed an occasional litter which are raised in the house with our other girls. All our dogs are first and foremost our pets, anything else is a bonus!.

We will always strive to breed dogs that are typical of the breed with a sensible character.
