Shepherd Dogs have been my life’s companions since childhood. My
grandfather always had a GSD. I got my first own GSD in 1978 and became a
member of the SV Ortsgruppe Eiserfeld in Westpfalia.
I started immediately as a helper in protection work, trained my own dog
Jalk von der Edelweisbrücke (a sable) to SchH 3 and received the SV
Goldmeidal for dog handlers in 1983.
In 1981 I bought my first female, Leska vom Haus Gero and bred my first
litter in 1984. Since that time I’ve bred more than 80 litters and
presented my kennel group, von Fidelius, five times at the German
Siegerschau – In the year 1999 placed thirteenth.
My interest in breeding and handling dogs in shows gave me the opportunity
to enter the judges ‘education of SV in 1989. I received a lot of
support from my mentor and friend, Richard Dexel from Hemer. In 1991 I
finished the education and became a SV Judge for Confirmation. Since 1996
I am Körmeister of the SV.
I
have judged more than 100 shows in Germany and abroad - for example,
Norway, Sweden, Spain, Italy, Slovakia, Belgium, Ireland, Great Britain,
South Africa, Netherlands, USA, Indonesia, Peru and Australia. With this
hobby I have been lucky to meet some good friends all over the world and I
am grateful that the best dog in the world is keeping us together.
