My dogs live in the house as part of the family and the young ones are kenneled only  for the 5 hrs that I'm at work. (I work as a cattery manager for Freshfields Animal Rescue.)
I have had owned GSD's for about 15yrs and under the affix of Blanik and in that time I have bred 6 litters from 3 bitches. All my "kids" are hip scored and the males Hemophilia tested. The pups are sold with strict contracts and I have also taken in GSD's at my home and re-homed them under a Freshfields adoption contract.
I have been instructing in Obedience at a local Dog Training Club since 1989 and teaching all breed ring craft since 1993.
Don't know what els to say really other than my dogs are my life.
