I have had German Shepherds most of my life. I got my first German Shepherd as a teenager in 1982….a white female named Megan. I was attracted to the breed because of their looks, loyalty and trainability. I began breeding in 1998. I breed German showline dogs. Several dogs that I have bred have went on to achieve their schutzhund titles and done excellent in the show ring. My goal in breeding is to produce a healthy, structurally sound animal with excellent temperament and trainabilty.
I have trained many kinds of animals over the years….dogs, horses, birds. Before my parents let me get my first German Shepherd, I trained all my neighbors dogs because my family only had one very old dog. I would train them in obedience and would show them in 4H back then. As an adult, I worked at a kennel and taught all breed pet obedience for several years. In 1996 I discovered the sport schutzhund and joined The United Schutzhund Club of America and have been a member ever since. I love training dogs; I have an unquenchable desire for learning all I can about dog training and have been very fortunate to have trained with or attended seminars with some of the best trainers in the world such as:
-Helmut Raiser
-Roland Seibel
-Sharon Ronan
-Jogi Zank
-Bart Bellon
-Ivan Balababov
-T Floyd
-Dean Calderon
