Tradition of Top German Shepherd Dogs in Eastern Canada continues...
The German Sieger Show is now over and the top dog in the German Shepherd world in Germany is VA1 Vegas du Haut Mansard SchH3. We are very happy to say we have followed this dogs in the last few years as he is a very solid, well built dog. In 2005 He was Young dog SG1, 2006 he was rated VA8 and last year he was VA4. We purchased an exceptionally nice puppy Freya that Vegas was the the stud dog. If you look at her pedigree she has the top lines in Germany for 3 generations, Freya is a very nice dog and at 2 years of age now she is grown into a top quality female.
Also a tip of the hat to Gerd Dexel as his boy VA-Arex vom Herbramer- Wald SchH3 went V-21 this year. Aurex is a litter mate to our Adam, both are sire by one of the most beautiful sables in the modern german Shepherd world VA-2 Timo vom Berrekasten SChH3, IPO3, FH2 Kkl 1
We are very proud of our dogs at Grunfeld and we are sure you will like what you see as you look around our web site.

Ann Marie also was going to meet her friends from Von Haus Pfalzerheide from Germany and Shepherds by Kimo. They had all met a couple of year ago at the Sieger Show in Germany.
Ann Marie had Falcor entered in the show and Famke was entered as Famke grew up here at Grunfeld as she was awaiting passing all the requirements to go to her new home in Hawaii with Shepherds by Kimo.
Falcor placed a respectful VP 8 in his class, Famke placed VP 23 in her class. The judges commented many positive things about both dogs.
