Over Bart Vandaele

I have been involved in Border Collies for more than 25 years now. I bought my first border collie in 1997. Over the years I participated with my dogs at various disciplines with the main accents on showing and herding. Until 2021 I was breeding and showing border collies under the name ‘Flaxblossoms’.

On 17/01/2014, I was appointed FCI judge for border collies. I have always been very interested in sheepdogs and cattle dogs, so I started to do more exams in Group 1. Now I am judging many breeds in this group and I hope to do more exams in the future.

I already judged in several countries such as Austria, UK, Finland, France, the Netherlands,...

I am a Committee member of the Belgian Kennel Club, member of the Judges’ Qualification Committee, member Scientific Committee Belgian Kennel Club, member Breeding Committee Belgian Kennel Club, Belgian FCI delegate for sheepherding, Vice-President of the Belgian Border Collie Club, Chairman of the Breeding Committee of the Belgian Border Collie Club, Chairman of the Show Committee of the Belgian Border Collie Club, Chairman and instructor ringcraft of the Canine Society "Die Scone" and organizer of the Border Collie Breed specialty BBCC and CAC show all breeds “Die Scone”.
