More about BARBARA
Why BARBARA started breeding
I watched my Aunt train and show her dogs while I was growing up as a young girl. I had high hopes and expectations for my first GSD. Unfortunately, I learned the hard way with my first gsd having many health issues including severe hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia and pannus. She was spayed and I set out to find the perfect bitch to start my dream. So my first import bitch was Foxi vom Fichtenschlag, imported from Germany.
