INTRODUCTION

In 1972 my journey into the love of dogs began, when an 8 week old Wire Haired Fox Terrier (Michael) from the Dodford Kennels (Bromsgrove)

entered the family home. I grew up respecting and understanding the needs of dogs and above all the pleasure they can bring.

I became interested in obedience in 1997 when I rescued a GSDx  (Britvic) and also the following year with a rescued Standard Poodle (Jake) . 

It was then I became a member of the British Association for German Shepherd Dogs, and I began to train and compete in obedience competitions. 

In due course I became Secretary of the local branch and in July 2004 I gained my qualification as an Obedience Instructor.

In 2003 I became interested in the showing of  GSD’s when I acquired Alexbria Whispa (see female page) who gained Class 1 in her breed survey. 

I was granted my Affix/Kennel Name KAMANTAS by the Kennel Club in February 2006.

May 2005 Whispa had her first litter, I kept Edward (Ted) for obedience/vpg training

August 2006 I kept a daughter from Whispa’s second litter that I am currently showing with success,[ Kamantas Ariella ] with whom I qualified for Crufts 2008 and 2009.

Also out of this litter I kept Alfie (Alf) for obedience and Whispa’s third and final litter (see puppy page) March 2008….watch this space !
