We are actively involved in training, showing and breeding, and in helping ordinary pet owners to learn how to enjoy their lovely dogs to the utmost with Happy Training!
Come and join us, bring your wonderful German Shepherd Dog for training classes in Obedience, for Agility, for Tracking or for the exciting Conformation Shows!
