Kurt and I have been involved with working dogs for 45 years combined. I started with AKC obedience and tracking. After putting multiple UD's and TD's on different breeds, I ventured into Schutzhund. There I titled many home grown and imported dogs from SchH I to SchH III FH. I competed in multiple Nationals, placing in the top 3 many times. In 2000 I qualified for the GSDCA/WDA Team to compete in the WUSV in Belgium with my dog, Kastor vom Bernhardinerhof SchH III, IPO III, FH. Schutzhund is where Kurt and I met back in 1987. Kurt has titled dogs from BH to Sch III. Kurt is a National level decoy and has participated in multiple Nationals as a decoy. Kurt is a Lake County Deputy and a K-9 Handler, trainer, and evaluator. He has handled and trained numerous police and sport dogs. Kurt has hand picked and evaluated many dogs for multiple Police Agencies in Central Florida. Both having many years experience in Veterinary work, we know how important it is to have a sound and healthy dog.
