Welcome to our site we are a small family based kennel on the kildare / wicklow border at the foothills of the mountains. I have been involved in the breed since 1990 when I bought my first GSD as a pet. This was to have a profound effect on me as I became evermore interested in this most fabulous of breed.When we think about the German Shepherd, it becomes apparent that it is known for its affinity to its master and willingness to please. It is a very versatile and intelligent as well as affable and laid back breed of dog. Its main characteristics are to be direct as well as fearless and it never appears to be hostile. Rather, it is self-confident and a bit aloof, which however may fool one because it is a breed that is quite approachable and one that can confidently deal with all overtures.
