I grew up surrounded by GSD’s by the age of 14 I had competed up to Class 'A' in Competitive Obedience with my first German Shepherd bitch Kye. I have since trained more than 10 dogs to IGP3 7 of which have competed at national level in 2014 I qualified to represent Team GB at the WUSV World Championships.

I have been involved with the development of both the show and working GSD since 2011 and has carried out the courage tests in the majority of the British Sieger events. I am a licensed IGP track layer and have carried out helper work under numerous SV and FCI Judges in over 40 IPO trials including many world qualifiers. I was the youngest helper to license in the UK in the sport and have been an A grade helper in the UK now for over 20 years. I have also passed the Breed Council Education Program, towards judging and stewarding the breed, and have been a BAGSD - British Association of German Shepherd Dogs - qualified Instructor since 2008 at the age of 15.

I believe our biggest success can be seen in our working line German Shepherds from our affix Hunmdenkraft; not only do we have open show winners and Crufts competitors in obedience, we also supply (for many years now) to the HMP and police forces all throughout the country, our females are in police breeding programmes and our studs often used, whilst also supplying Sport dogs to serious IGP and working trials competitors.. You can often see our home bred dogs in various police documentaries at national police and prison trials, they have been on BBC news we currently have almost 60 police dogs in active service. Throughout our breeding we have continued to produce what we believe is the all round working dog, with drive but level headed, strong and true to type, healthy, tested and fit for purpose."
