Bernice began obedience training the family dog OT. CH. Luxurious Blaze of Penhaven in 1965 as a hobby. She completed 2 obedience trial champions, one dual (show and obedience) champion and 2 American CDX's on her dogs.
Brian started obedience training his unregistered German Shepherd pet in 1971. Both Brian and Bernice met at the German Shepherd Dog Club of Manitoba Inc. They are both now "life members" of the club.
Together they owned, trained and showed in conformation, multiple champion German Shepherds, of which CH. Wildwest's Kandy Kane achieved her ROM.
They found this breed very exciting to work with in all performance levels, but especially in obedience, tracking and as part of a drill team.
This year , 2017, they have added their newest GSD to their family.
