I started training my first dog,
a purebred beagle, in 1961.
Between 1961 and 1985, I owned, trained and bred other breeds; then I discovered
German shepherds! I was in love with the breed.
There are some breeds that can do some things as well
as a German shepherd; but, no breed does as many things as well as a German shepherd.
I loved working with
my dog, Max; but, he developed hip dysplasia, and it was heartbreaking.
When looking to replace
him, I did a lot of research on American vs. German, vs Czech German shepherd dogs, and decided that Czech bred German shepherd
dogs were for me. I liked Czech bred German shepherds because they had strict breeding standards for registering
their German shepherd puppies. The breeding German shepherd dogs must have proven their hips by x-ray, and proven their
intelligence, willingness to work, and superiority as working German shepherds by acquiring titles. The Czech breeders
focussed on working abilities, and straight backs, breeding more for the large boned traditional German shepherd dog, which
was less likely to have hip / elbow problems. I just did not have the money to import the dog that I wanted at the time,
and decided to wait until I could afford to get the best.
I kept searching for a dependable source of high
quality Czech bred German shepherds. Finally, in 2006, I found my female German shepherd, whom I imported from Eurosport, Orsina z Get Pet. I was impressed by the consistent quality of Czech German shepherd dogs that others had acquired from
Eurosport in Slovakia. I bought her as a "protection trained" three year old. We had a lot of work
to do to get her BH, her AD, and her Schutzund titles. She is currently a Sch2. She was the first of our Czech
bred German shepherds imported from Eurosport in Slovakia.
Her pedigree shows that all of her German shepherd ancestors had Schutzhund titles, so we decided
to pursue the sport with her.
We wanted to train our GSD for Schutzhund, because the dog must pass
tests in Tracking, Obedience and Protection to achieve a Schutzhund title.
The result is a highly trained
and highly obedient German shepherd dog, which is a joy to have protecting our family, As an additional bonus,
the schutzhund training results in an amazing bond between the handler and the German shepherd dog.
In 2008,
we finally found our stud dog, Alan Schrom, aka "Bear", also from Eurosport as an 11 month old superstar of their puppy program.
We had decided in August, 2010, that Orsina's last litter would be the litter she would have at 8
years of age, in 2011, and started searching for a replacement breeding female in 2010.
I wanted a big
boned German shepherd female who had the best hips possible. I wanted her to be titled, and with great drive and good
obedience and protection. I wanted her to be a good genetic match to our male, Alan Schrom / Bear. I also wanted
a great pedigree, and superior bloodlines.
We purchased Ava Malabig in January of 2011 after a very long search, also from Eurosport in Slovakia. We are delighted with this German
shepherd dog!!! She is everything that we asked Eurosport to find in a dog. Click the link to see pedigree, X-rays, training videos and photos of Ava, on Eurosport's SOLD DOGS page.
I am currently
the Vice President of the Jacksonville Schutzhund Club, which trains in Hubert, NC.
