1948 birth of the pale fawn, Willy and his brother, Witan, from two Groenendael parents. The beginning of the Tervuren 'Renaissance'.
He was of medium size, very square, he was perfectly built with connected and harmonious lines. He was very distinguised with a well-chiseled, medium head, and small typey ears. Overall his appearance was just strong enough for a male, and yet very elegant. His coat, excellently textured, could have been warmer and his mask was minimal. He was the first Tervuren to compete equally with the best Groenendael. He won a large number of CACIB's in France (at the 1950, 1953 and 1954 Paris shows) as well as in Belgium, and he proved himself to be a remarkable stud. The Clos St Clair kennel shone during the time of his direct offspring, and more than 90% of today's subjects, qualifing as excellent, find him in their pedigrees. BBA p89
