My love of the GSD stems from childhood, the family always had a GSD usually going by the name of Rex. I obtained my first GSD in about 1983, a bi-coloured dog, Joby a great, great grandson of a recognised pillar of the breed Quanto von der Wienera. ,I showed him briefly with some success, however with little knowledge of showing and even less connections I began training him for working Trials, unfortunately Joby died quite young, and although I owned several GSD,s after him, nothing seemed to measure up ,and with various other commitments bowed out of the doggy scene till I obtained my present female GSD in Oct 2005
Izzi, kennel name Tramella Gavivi  is shown occasionally with perhaps her best result being placed second SG2 at the British Seiger 2006 in the female Youth Class and V3 in the Working female class at the 2008 British Seiger, where she gave probably the best bite work display of the weekend, not bad placing at our GSD Premier Show
Izzi passed BH, AD, Sch1 and obtained a korung Kkl1, however, although she tracks well and does some nice protection work she lacks the focus I want in obedience and in the near future will be on maternal duties.
Quinn vom Arolser Holz a working line GSD is my new dog, a very active dog, very eager to please and progressing well. Quinn has completed BH, AD and obtained a UK Breed Survey Class 1, hopefully he will be ready to compete later this year.
