Here at Kennel von der Traumwolfen, we had a Show Line male as our family pet and Working
Line German Shepherds, from some of the top bloodlines in the world. First and foremost, our
German Shepherds are our family members. They live in the house and travel to all kinds of
activities with us. Our family consists of Marsha, (we lost Mark to cancer in 2005,) Christine,
Gilbert, Jerome, and our females, Chita, Mia and Destyn.
I started Kennel von der Traumwolfen in 2006. I have grown up around animals all my life. I
was a member of 4-H for 10 years and had many livestock projects. I bought and trained my
own horse as a young teenager. I was involved with breeding and racing Greyhounds for many
years.
After owning a German Shepherd Dog for five years, I want to share my love and pride for
these noble animals with others. I have been involved with the German Shepherd breed for
over 7 years. I have many contacts around the world, with a long history in the breed who are
available to me for guidance and direction.
I have very strong beliefs when it comes to breeding German Shepherds. I believe in the
strict guidelines set forth by the German SV. Any German Shepherd used for breeding must
have attained at least a SchH1 or Herding title, along with a passing OFA Hip rating or German
'A' stamp and a breed survey. These guidelines were set forth to allow only the breeding of
quality animals which will continue to shape future generations of the German Shepherd breed.
This is to ensure correct structure, solid temperament, good nerves and working drives. A BH
and/or AD alone does not determine breeding quality. A BH is a obedience and
temperament test pre-requisite for the SchH1. The AD is an endurance test required for a
Breed Survey or KKL. Schutzhund titles listed as (SchH1) means the dog is not yet titled.
Regardless of whether the dog is in training for these titles or not, this kind of advertising is
misleading to the general public and is unethical. Therefore, those dogs should not be used in a
breeding program, according to the German Standard.
I am active in my dogs' training. I take them through an obedience class and they earn their
CGC (Canine Good Citizen) certificate through AKC. This is recognizing and promoting
responsible dog ownership with basic obedience training for the dog. I train my dogs in the
sport of Schutzhund, which focuses on Tracking, Obedience and Protection. I compete in both
working trials and conformation shows with my dogs. I handle them myself for working trials
and with help from my children for conformation shows. I also participate in AKC events as
well. I believe this allows me to know both the good and bad, the strengths and weaknesses,
about each of my dogs.
Please feel free to look through our site. I'm glad you stopped in to visit us.
