My love affair with the German Shepherd Dog started when I was a small child. My parents raised me with a German Shepherd as my "Schutzengel" (German for Guardian Angel) and companion. My husband and I were married in 1959, we purchased our first German Shepherd a few years later. We began breeding and the raising of German Shepherds 35 years ago, all 6 of our children where raised with them. Now that our children are grown and with families of their own, they also have our German Shepherds. 

We evolved to the European German Shepherd about 25 years ago. Its is our personal opinion that the German Shepherd bred to the FCI standard is the best.  We’ve imported  dogs from top producing kennels in Germany & Canada  for our breeding foundation and have established a careful breeding program at our home in Canby Oregon, to carry on the tradition of breeding high quality dogs.

Ted & I enjoy the SV Conformation show ring and the sport of Schutzhund. It is our opinion that the total German Shepherd with sound solid temperament can go into Schutzhund competition, come off the field, sit or stand by my side and have a child or an adult come up and pet him or her. We do this as a sport and for fun.

We do this for love of the German Shepherd breed and for family enjoyment. We enjoy our successes and share them with those through the years who have helped. We hope to be able to leave the breed a little better than we found it. And we know these wonderful dogs have made us just a bit happier by being part of our lives. This is truly a family affair. Our daughter-in-law, Sheila, is training her dog Excel in Schutzhund. Our granddaughter Brittany, 13 years of age, is learning to be a handler in the conformation ring and is doing very well against stiff competition. Colby, our grandson, is 8 years old and handling the German Shepherd puppies in the show ring, training at practice. 

We know this family will enjoy the love and companionship of this fine breed for many years to come.
