Welcome to KVG German Shepherds, a small kennel specializing in training, competing, and breeding Working Line German Shepherds for sport, work, and family.
KVG dogs have the potential to excel in Search and Rescue, SAR, the sport of IGP, the sport of PSA, the sport of French Ring, Mondio Ring, KNPV, as well as, various CKC events, such as rally obedience, field tracking, urban tracking, man trailing, and nose work. KVG dogs also have the potential to excel as private patrol and security canines, personal protection dogs, and most importantly, loyal family companions.
I am a member of the CKC, Canadian Kennel Club, as well as a registered breeder with the CKC. I belong to the GSSCC, German Shepherd Schutzhund Club of Canada, and reside as president of our local IGP club, K9 Utility Cranbrook Working Dog Club; a non-profit club dedicated to training dogs for sport.
​
I train my dogs for fun, for sport, for competition, for myself! I do not offer training services nor do I sell trained adult dogs. All dogs that are or were part of the KVG program remain at home, as part of my beloved house pets, to fully live out the rest of their lives.
​
Occasionally, I do have older dogs to 'rehome.' Check back often! Or send me an e-mail specifically requesting to be added to my waitlist for older dogs that become available.
All dogs are my personal companion, and IGP sport dogs; my dogs are "H.O.T", Handler, Owner, Trained or B.H.O.T, Breeder, Handler, Owner, Trained, live inside my home, and are an active part of my life.
Please see my achievements page, for the dogs that I have trained, and titled.
​
Please contact me for further information regarding my dogs, and upcoming breeding plans including available puppies.
All dogs are bred in accordance with, the BREEDER'S CODE OF ETHICS, as mandated by the CKC, Canadian Kennel Club.
All dogs are bred in accordance with the WUSV, WORLD UNION FOR THE GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG, an international organization that is the regulatory body for breeding German shepherd dogs according to the rules and regulations of ethical breeding and the harmonization program.

“Those who breed and do not train are like the blind trying to describe color.
-Dr. Helmult Raiser-

-Captain Max von Stephanitz-
“Take this trouble for me: make sure my shepherd dog, remains a working dog, for I have struggled all my life for that aim."
-Captain Max von Stephanitz-
"The coloring of the dog has no significance whatever for service; our shepherd dog accordingly is not bred for color. Coloring, therefore, is only a fad of the amateur and as such is often liable to changes of whim."
-Captain Max von Stephanitz-
"Breeding should never be made with animals that are not in work. The proof of the education of the dog for work is a necessity for admission for breeding, rather than Show honors, which afford a very misleading idea of a dog’s value for breeding."
