Trifecta - now to get the quad!

I'm sure many of you are aware that I've been collecting dogbreed.tld domains - and I'm sure some of you know I fancy the Belgian shepherd breed. A few years ago I was able to get Laekenois.net though a drop (the most uncommon of the 4 varieties) and a few weeks ago I got Tervuren.net though a backorder, too (the one where I didn't realize it was an offer and not a proxy bid though NJ).

Well, I am happy to say that I have successfully acquired (backorder though Snap) Groenendael.net - this means I have 3 of the 4 varieties .net - the only one left is malinois.net but I'm sure that will be extremely expensive since they are very popular.

But, I can't complain about having 3 out of the 4.

.. and if those weren't enough I just got the plural of both.

Nice domaining there draggar!

GL completing the set.

Nice. Any development plans?

**draggar** · 05-03-2012, 05:51 AM

Development plans - yes but on the back burner right now. I know malinois.net is out of my reach (and being used).

Just out of interest have you already approached the malinois.net owner? I ask because it looks like a landing page and with things like 'car rentals' there doesn't look like he has a plan for it.

Current owner can now claim type-in traffic driving up the price for enduser Draggar, courtesy of this thread.

On a serious note, it's great that you found something of interest that you can build upon.

The breeds (especially malinois) have gained a lot of popularity because of Seal Team 6 last year and I already see unethical breeders starting to pop up and discredit ethical ones. At least this way I can promote ethical breeding practices and promote ethical breeders.
