ABOUT KENNEL KARLSRUHE...

Having grown up with dogs and horses all my life, I purchased my first German Shepherd Dog, ‘Axel’, when I was 18 years old. He was sired by Mutz De Los Porches, a Frei vom Holtkamper See son (Canto von der Wienerau). I concentrated mainly on competition obedience but also showed him. A few years later I purchased two Lando Van Noort females (Grimm vom Lehmbachtal / Lasso di val Sole / Quanto von der Wienerau) from the Wenden Kennel, and that’s where I got started...

I choose the name ‘Karlsruhe’ as this was the place in Germany where SV dog no.1 - Horand von Grafrath - was spotted and purchased by Captain Max von Stephanitz and subsequently won first place in 1899.

German Shepherds are not just a passion, they are a way of life. 
My dogs are valued not just for showring successes but as part of my life and family.
