"The German Shepherd Dog is almost universal in appeal, its sterling attributes lending it distinction and importance wherever man needs a helper, a companion, a guard dog for self, household, or where there is a specialised job to be accomplished" - Ernst A Hart.

It is no small wonder that German Shepherd Dog has become the most popular breed in the world and we are privileged to be associated with this wonderful breed.

We are members of the German Shepherd Dog Federation of South Africa and we associate ourselves with its aims.

Aims of the Federation (As taken from Animaltalk July 2002):

The federation demands that all breeding within the organisation takes place within the framework of international control and co-operation, based on the direction given by the country of origin which is Germany.

One of the organisation's earliest direct aims, and an aim to which it has remained true, was that all breeding of German Shepherd Dogs had to be controlled and subjected to minimum standards.

The first minimum requirements introduced were that each dog, before it was allowed to be used for breeding, had to be identified by a permanent tattoo number in the ear, had to pass an official hip dysplasia test and to receive a grading of at least a "G" (Good) from a qualified breed judge.  In addition bitches had to be at least 20 months old and males at least 24 months old.  In order to receive the "G" grading a dog has to be free from disqualifying faults, may not be afraid of a gun-shot and has to pass a basic temperament test.

While the above is still the minimum standard, a second level of breeding  was developed (in line with the international dictates) whereby additional standards achieve by the parents are recognized by issuing a special (pink) pedigree for their progeny.  To qualify for this level of pedigree, the parent of puppies have to past a 20Km endurance test, an obedience test called a BH and a very advanced temperament test together with other requirements that are periodically revised in terms of need.

Through prudent and selective breeding, we have developed into one of the leading kennels in South Africa, producing quality animals for the showring, working disciplines as well as the decerning pet owner.
