The main Finnish Specialty Show for Belgian Shepherds of 2025 will be held in picturesque Suonenjoki on May 24, 2025.

Unfortunately, Ms Bente Harlem is unable to attend the specialty, which means the groenendaels will be judged by our reserve judge, Mr Rui Alves Monteiro.

We are pleased to announce that we have invited specialty judges who are not often seen in Finnish specialties:

Pietro Bottagisio 🇮🇹 - malinois & laekenois
Dirk Spruyt 🇧🇪  - tervueren
Rui Alves Monteiro 🇵🇹 - groenendael

BIS finals
Rui Alves Monteiro - BIS puppy, BIS junior, BIS veteran
Pietro Bottagisio - BIS breeder group, BIS progeny group
Dirk Spruyt - BIS working dog, BIS pair, BIS

Puppies 5-7 months and 7-9 months, as well as progeny classes and tourist class will also be judged at the show. We will also have a pair class for 2 Belgians of the same variety.
