Gipsi has been the joy of Dee's life! Gipsi is one of those once in a life time dogs who makes training, trialing and every day life a lot of fun and very interesting. Gipsi was whelped in Mike's house in Warren, NH and on that cold winter night when she was born, we knew she was our keeper! She came out of the womb barking already, and she has not stopped since. From puppyhood to adulthood, Gipsi has been a very strong female. Typical of female dogs she thinks she knows it all, and knows a better way to achieve her goals. Gipsi was the first puppy in the litter to do just about everything. She was finding ways out of the whelping area as soon as she could walk and had sight.
Gipsi has produced some wonderful puppies. Due to her being trained, and titled, we did not breed her as frequently as some breeders might have. It was very important to us that we PROVE Gipsi was indeed breed worthy, and what better place to do that than the trial field. Additionally, we breed only to produce our next competition dog. So there is no need to breed a female every heat, or to make money. We want to produce German Shepherd Dogs that are correct in temperament, health, drives, and working ability. Without these traits, there is no reason to produce puppies. Gipsi has produced, SAR K9s, Schutzhunds, herders, personal assistance dogs, and an operational patrol K9.
We have been so very fortunate to have so many supporters over the years where Gipsi is concerned. It has been a real team effort to get her to where she is now, in training, ratings and titles. Pia Blackwell, of Rheinland Kennels handled Gipsi to her first SG rating when Gipsi was an Untitled Female. Heidi Thies of Thies Hof handled Gipsi in the ring in the 2007 USA Seiger Show in the Working Class Females. Dee handled Gipsi for both the breed survey and the performance test at the Sieger Show. Claudia Romard of VanGogh Kennel, handled Gipsi in the 2008 New England Regional Conformation Show where Gipsi earned her V rating (excellent conformation) and the honor of Regional Vice Siegerin. The members of Southern New Hampshire Working Dog Club were a tremendous support in training and titling Gipsi in Schutzhund. Without the help of club members, Frank Phillips, Anthony Braccio, Vadim Plotsker (all three helpers) and Kandi Jacopino of RokanHaus, Gipsi and Dee could not have come as far as they have. A big THANK YOU to everyone who has helped us succeed farther than our wildest dreams!!! We cannot forget our Dear Friend Chris Savini of Sawtooth Canine who honored us with Diva, Gipsi's dam, and who let us have pick of the litter, and we named her Gipsi. Chris, words cannot ever express our deepest gratitude for the honor you bestowed upon us. We strive to continue to make you proud of us all. Thank you!

Claddagh is a Gipsi & Olesko daughter! We have kept her to train and titled in Schutzhund. Claddagh is a very good combination of both of her parents. She inherited her sire's deep dedicated nose for the track, and her dam's determination in the work. Claddagh is still very immature, and has not had a lot of protection training at this time. She loves it, and utilizes that big dog bark she inherited from Gipsi. We have concentrated on her obedience and tracking. She should be ready to earn a BH in the spring.

Gesha is an amazing bitch! Devoted, loving, loyal, affectionate, driven, an outstanding mother, and has not slowed down. In October, 2010, Gesha turned 13 years old. You would not know it to look at her. She has always been a very active dog, always at your heel, waiting for you to give her instruction. Gesha is very dog friendly, loves children, just not to partial to cats. Gesha is living out her retirement years with Mike on the farm. Gesha has a very impressive pedigree, one which has been highly sought after. Her sire is Quartz dei Templari and her maternal grandfather is Ulk Von Arlett. Gesha is the daughter of Diva von der Malchower Aue and has a lot of her dam's traits. She has passed onto her litters some very over the top drive and ball obsession. Gesha is the dam to our males Heinrich "Ricky" vom Sawtooth and Artimus "Artie" vom Haus Mansfield. Gesha is also the older sister of our Gipsi vom Sawtooth.
