Gerstbrei German Shepherds

Putting the pups to work, or is this just creating more work for me? Either way they had a lot of fun and thought they were accomplishing something.

This was a few months ago, training with the pups from the X and Y litters. They are all quick learners and have been a lot of fun. Can't wait to see what the future holds.

Ivana has something to say about making V2 at South Michigan Schutzhund and Police Club's show and Breed Survey with judge Edgar Pertl . Sean and Stacy Murphy put on an excellent show. Thank you Abhai Kaul for handling her.  Photo credit: Abhai Kaul

Ivana earns her Breed Survey with an excellent report under judge Richard Brauch. I was very happy with her performance in bitework as well with helper Michael Sweeney. Thanks Mike Diehl, Mike Sweeney and their club for putting on such a great show. Photo credit: Abhai Kaul

Ivana shows up at Metro Detroit Schutzhund club's 2017 fall trial as a substitute dog for the IPO1's. Happy as ever to be out there on the field she never lets me down.

Ivana and Karma put on quite the performance for such little time to prepare. I was very proud of what we could get ready with so little time and their energy and enthusiasm for the work carrying and driving us through the phases onto the next. Couldn't ask for better teammates. Thanks also to all of the helpers and people involved, it takes a village! Photo credits: Abhai Kaul an Lee Reicheld.

Karma aus Gerstbrei is now BH BHOT and Ivana von Buchmann aus Gerstbrei is now IPO2 BHOT high tracking, high obedience, high IPO2 and High in Trial under a strict but fair judge, USCA SV Mike Caputo. Very proud of the girls. The judge commented on the drive and spirit in both girls as they worked... Karma, in her near perfect focus and drive in her obeidnece routine, and Ivana in her high drive for the track, high driven focus and fast dumbbells, love for obedience and for protection. Proud of these 2 half sisters who are both BHOT as well! Now onto the next titles!

Clips from Ivana's IPO1. Proud of how well she did for her very first IPO trial.

 From the fall trial 2016 at Capital Area Schutzhund Ivana von Buchmann and I earned our IPO1 under USCA SV judge Bill Szentmiklosi. I was very proud of her as we not only pulled off High IPO1 but also High protection. Good girl Ivana! Now onto our next titles as the journey has only begun.
