The desire to breed working malinois with strong nerves, great drive, social character and good health.
The kennel
I am Marvelous kennel started in 2022. It's an FCI registered kennel in The Netherlands. All puppies will have an FCI pedigree, DNA profile and will be sold with a contract with guarantee.
​
It's possible to make a reservation for a puppy when a litter is announced. Visiting the puppies is possible after making an appointment and when the puppies are at least 3,5 weeks old. The choice of the puppy is upon arrival of registration, we as the breeder determine the final choice of the puppy in consultation with the puppy buyer.
​
It's important to know that the Malinois is a working breed, puppies will only be sold to buyers that will fulfill the needs of a working breed like following dog training, giving proper exercise or competing in dog sports.
About us
We bought our first dog in 2005 and started with Dobermanns in IGP ( then IPO). In 2010 I (Annelies) switched to KNPV and it didn't take long before our first Malinois entered. Through the years we had several Malinois for training, some from the age of a puppy, but also dogs that needed to be rehomed.
As pet dogs, we've had 3 American Staffordshire Terriërs. Unfortunately due to the poor health of the breed and bad luck, we lost all 3 at way too young age and we decided to stick to the Malinois breed for both training and pet dog.
​
I've certified 4 dogs in KNPV PH1 with honors: 410 with Hugo in 2013, 426 with Oscar in 2016 and 427 with Dico in 2018. Hugo is sold to the Royal Dutch Airforce and even deserved a medal of honor, Oscar, Dico and Kelvin (in 2021) were sold to the Dutch Police. In October 2023 I got the last PH1 certificate with Tica with 430 points.
Currently, I'm training Mojo and Tica for IGP.
​
Besides the online courses in dog behavior that I followed, I also have my diplomas for KNPV BKD, KNPV MCC and Tinley Academy ABA.
​
Training the dogs has always been my hobby. I'm very pleased that my husband Marco has a great bond with the dogs in his own way. We love long walks, holidays with the dogs, going swimming and he takes the dogs with him for running and mountain biking as well. We also enjoyed several Dog Survivals.
​
After having a few Malinois females, Tica is the first dog that meets all the requirements for us to breed with. She is in perfect health, social, very stable and she has good drive as well.
