Well, I must say when I graduated from university as a school teacher for sport, what I never did. I never was in school. I just gave private trainings or whatever, but not in school.

She took care of about, I don't remember exactly, but maybe 10, 15 dogs of Luc were in her place and a lot of litters were born in her place. So that's also how I met Luc.

And in Campania, I became champion with the Lakenwas against the Mallis and the Bouviers that were competing at that time. And with Lucia, so I did a good evolution.
