A lively Fiesty beauty which represents true German Shepherd of superb quality, the Real Deal, I was honored to have had her in my care. She is proof that a dog can steal your heart in a split second. She was taken from me by Degenerative Myelopathy at just 8 1/2 yrs of age.

Zuni, aka Nolte von der Wienerau

The love of my life

22nd of August 1997 - 8th October 2008

For Zuni, the love of my life

The incredible accomplished VA Dian vom Baronenwald after a successful show career all over Europe and South America two times VA Dian arrived here in the summer of 2006, lived a wonderful life and brought us a lot of joy. Dian has progeny throughout the world. Dian had a few litters here but predominantly lived the life of a house dog, as it should be.

1998 - 2008

Fabulously sweet and gorgeous Ainee which I still miss so much. She died of an accident at age 4

(Sire: Zuni x Dam: Aline)

The best personality Tornado 1992 - 2007

so many great memories I have of her - I miss you babie

Ferris 1990 - 1996

-Incomparable-

Petite Tumper passed in 1998 while in the care of pet sitters, our time together was too short.

Amber, passed in 2002 of old age and was with us for about 2.5 years after I adopted her at age 10 from the humane society. She was a darling who adjusted easily to her new life within a pack of German Shepherds.

Rooie, the Orange Tabby, and Ferris, the Ferret. Both passed of 'old' age. These were big buddies, not hunter and prey as one would expect!

Beautiful Muneca, a Mexican Hairless, Xoloitzcuintli, is their official name, passed of over-vaccination by her breeder in 2006 She had a wonderful personality, she was barely 11 months old.

Castar vom Venushof 2002-2006

Killed by being in the care of a back yard breeder

And his Sire: SG 17 Falco vom Klebinger Schloss

After a successful show career in Europe Falco changed hands too often as too many top ranking male dogs do. He was rescued by me from the same breeder as where his son Castar had just died, on September 5th 06, and had a great year and a half of always being with some pretty GSD Senoritas, walking and living the good life in a very natural setting and proving what a great German Shepherd dog he was. I was shocked when on December 19th 07 he suddenly couldn't lift his back end any longer after having done so well up until December 18th!. Degenerative Myelopathy likely took his dignity and I was facing the same heart wrenching decision as I have had to do before and let him cross the Rainbow Bridge. He did not have to live without dignity or in fear as dogs in such a situation face. He still looked incredible, he was fully checked out, with no heart murmur, no enlarged prostate, no blood in his stool, and normal temperature. All was so well for a dog his age! What a night mare, I wished more research was done on it and finally we have a test for DM! Many people loved this great dog and he will be in my heart forever.

This was Falco in 2006 around Christmas time
