AKC Group Winner
Darth and Ditto were the foundation of Sans Branco Belgians. They were very even tempered, structurally sound, very european in type, and healthy. They produced the A and C litters here and are best known for Annie and Thunder. Ditto is also the dam of our B litter of 3, two who were Ch. CD's. They will always be remembered here for the joy that they brought to any and all who met them.

Sans Branco Belgian Sheepdogs came into being in 1980 with the purchase of my future foundation sire, Ch Crocs-Blancs' Darth Vadir CD, although I had been actively involved with Belgian shepherds since 1972. My first was Ravenswings Gay Shadow CDX, he was a very pretty dog and european in outline but his temperament was less than exemplary. I loved him but he was a very timid animal and helped me to determine that I would strive to never breed an animal that had to be afraid of life. In 1976 I add Ch L'Eccosais Esprit de Corp, he was a multiple Top 10 placer and moved beautifully but he lacked a desire to work, so in 1980 Darth Vadir came to live with me as a 7 week old puppy from D Daugherty and L Halpin. He grew up to be a joy, he had a beautiful temperament, was elegant to look at, a Group Winner and possessed a desire to please and to work. He was very European in his outline and passed that on to his children. In 1982 I leased Ch Sundown's Debut from Mike and Marcy Fine and produced my first litter. The A Litter is best known for Ch Sans Brancos Anybody's Love CD TT ROM. Ditto, as Debut was known by, came to stay with me permanently and produced the B and C litters as well. She went on to become the dam of five champions. The C litter was a repeat of A and produced Ch Sans Brancos Thurderbolt CD ROM. The rest is history....
