Premier's pedigree speaks for itself. On his father's side, he is descended from Max van Schermershoek, who was crowned Belgian champion in 2018. On his mother's side, we find Bianca van Hazelbeek. She produced a total of 6 approved sons and was twice named national champion with offspring (2018 and 2022). Her mother, Oliva van Hazelbeek, received the same title in 2006 and 2007.
Offspring
Premier’s offspring all show an elegant, refined type with plenty of breed expression, and that quality is being rewarded. Their exceptionally attractive front end consistently stands out. Several of his offspring have already achieved impressive results at various shows.
