Bred, trained and exhibited with passion and pride

Clarochel is a relatively new name to the German Shepherd Dog world. This kennel was originally registered in my father's name and, although I was closely involved with everything that involved the Shepherds, they were only transferred to my name fairly recently.

Dogs have always been part of my life, and my passion for German Shepherd Dogs has developed from a young age. I thoroughly enjoy training and showing these magnificent dogs and cannot imagine my life without them.

Under the patient guidance of my awesome mentor, Michaela Schroeder, I have been working on improving my breeding, and will continue to do so. Michaela cannot be thanked enough for all her time, effort and advice. Without her I would not be where I am today. A word of thanks also goes to John Dunsdon for everything he does on a daily basis for me and my dogs.

Clarochel German Shepherd Dogs currently has our only litter for 2020 available. These stunning babies, born 8 April 2020 are sired by German Imported male Ulano vom Bierstadter Hof, with the mother of the litter being our very own home-bred girl Alexa la Clarochel. We are very excited to see these babies develop and exhibit them in the future!

Our puppies are all bred according to very stringent protocol: all our dogs have show gradings as well as, at the very least, an Endurance Qualification before we even consider breeding them. All our dogs' hips have been evaluated and they all passed with a minimum of an “A” grading. Furthermore we strictly adhere to the minimum age regulations as required by the GSD Federation. Clarochel puppies are raised with love and dedication, and our dogs are trained with passion and pride.

I am proud to call myself a Preservation Breeder, and will always strive to do what is best for the breed!
