Ashendael kennels is co-owned by Narelle Hoffman & daughter Ashley.

We are a small kennel who selectively breed and enjoy active involvement in the show ring.

Our involvement with Belgian Shepherds spans over 20 years. During this time we have been very fortunate to have bred and owned some outstanding dogs and bitches. We have seen our beloved Belgians through to multiple Best In Show and Runner-up Best In Show awards, and group wins at some of the largest and most prestigious shows in this country.

In 2002 Ashley worked as an assistant for professional all breed handlers in the USA for 8 months. She has also had the opportunity to handle dogs in Canada, United Kingdom and France and is often seen assisting friends in other groups.

Ashley is President of the Belgian Shepherd Dog Club of NSW, whilst Narelle has been the clubs treasurer for a number of years.

Proud members of the Belgian Shepherd Dog Club of New South Wales, Working Dog Club of New South Wales and the Royal New South Wales Canine Council.

Please feel free to contact us regarding enquiries about the breed or our kennel.

We hope you enjoy our site!
