We are a small kennel located in Medina, Ohio where our dogs have  4
acres of property to run and play on, as well as a one acre pond to swim
in.  Swimming is great excercise!  They not only get to cool off on those hot
summer days, but we are constantly entertained by Lexie’s fishing
abilities…catch and release!

Being a small kennel, having only 5 dogs allows me more time to spend
with each dog, on obedience training, socialization and grooming.  The
time I spend bathing, cleaning ears and trimming nails is my time to
pamper each of them.  Training time and getting ready for our
performance trials is quality time spent building that special bond that I
have with each dogs individual personality.  Our dogs have been active in
schutzhund, confirmation, agility, herding, and therapy work.  All doing
what they like best.  I am very proud of their accomplishments.

Growing up with dogs, both of us having various breeds from Beagle to
Samoyeds and Huskies, Richard’s German Shepherd, Harley was the
perfect fit.  They were inseparable,  She went everywhere with him.  As the
family grew, she kept a watchful eye over the children, as if they were her
own.  This is when we knew we would never be without the companionship
of a German Shepherd.

All our dogs, even the ones that are now gone, are a big part of our
family.  Jessie and Buck were with us from the start.  From purchasing our
property, building our barns, home and kennel, even now, they are still
with us in spirit.  Jessie was a combination of East German Working lines (
Sagus Vom Busecker-Schloss great granddaughter) and American show
lines (CH. Bramblewood’s Custom-Made granddaughter).  She was all
mine!  She knew exactly what I was thinking and what I expected of her.  
Always having a watchful eye on me, she was the ultimate loyal and
devoted companion.  Buck was Richard’s buddy, a nice mix of German and
American show lines, going back to Tibor Vonder Murrenhutte and Ch.
Sukee’s Mannix.  He was a beautiful dog, very gentle, affectionate and he
loved everyone.  Our only regret was not keeping a puppy from these two.  
Time slipped away from us, Buck passed and Jessie never produced
puppies for us after she lost her mate.

This was our beginning.  We learned so much from them, and continue to
learn with our present family of dogs, looking forward to our future.  Our
constant companions, loyal, loving and devoted to us, these are the
qualities we try to reproduce in our puppies.  Raised in a family
atmosphere, our puppies get to interact daily with our other dogs as well
as family members, neighbors and visitors.  A very important part of
socialization, we encourage everyone to visit.  The dogs love it!
