The line of Kiss Kisch continues to live, however, through an important link in Groenendael history, through the intermediary of his son, Xuchar de la Gage (out of Zirka, a bitch of unknown origins). Xuchar produced Fascotte. Fascotte gave birth at Mont Sara to a considerable number of young for 8-10 years. BBA p36
Xuchar de la Gage never sired a litter. The actual sire was Copain de l'Infernal LOSH 32075. Both Emile Boudart (Mont-Sara kennel)
and Jean Beaudoux (l'Infernal kennel and owner of Copain) wanted Fascotte. Boudart cut off her tail, ruining any chance of a show career and in return Jean Beaudoux, as the sire's owner, refused to sign the registration papers for Fascotte, Frivole, and the rest of the
litter. So, a neighborhood male, Xuchar de la Gage, was substituted.

A third littermate, Noisette, first entered Mr E Rombeaux's kennel in La Louviere, where bred to her littermate, Jinox, she produced Flip LOSH 29407 and Olivette (Mirette du Colas), on 15 April 1926. Later sold to Mr E Rombeaux in Binche, Noisette was bred to her nephew Ducyno and produced Nette de la Cite des Gilles on 12 April 1934. Flip, also owned by Mr E Rombeaux of Binche, was used by Mr Jean Beaudoux's Infernal kennel, siring Copain de l'Infernal, a Groenendael who is reputed to be the actual sire of Fascotte, an important foundation bitch for the Mont-Sara Groenendael kennel in Binche, begun in 1930.
