About Us
It all began when I was a child, with a German Shepherd named Rolf, a red wagon and a best friend named Miriam. We combed the neighborhoods of Chicago on a daily basis searching for "Fallen Angels". Pups, dogs, cats, kittens, birds, bunnies, turtles. Didn't matter. Rolf was always at our side. If they were hurt or abandoned they were coming home with us to our makeshift hospital at Miriams house. There we'd fix them up, feed them, love them and get them to trust again. Then we'd either keep them or find them a great home. Miriam & I are still friends. Began getting paid for training dogs at the age of 13 after I beat everyone in all three of the classes with my German Shepherd. Since then I've trained over 700 dogs of all breeds. I still prefer a GSD to any dog on earth. After opening my upscale Petshop in Chicago, I decided I wanted a safe place in the country to allow my beloved German Shepherds to stetch out. I was frustrated that the parks & beaches had so much broken glass everywhere. The lack of respect and littering in our public parks was out of control back in the early 80's. It created a very dangerous dilema for dogs romping through the parks. Several times my dogs were badly cut from broken glass. I flew to Germany to pick up several German Shepherd Pups after a 2 long year search in America for a Noble, Well Bred German Shepherd came up empty. Where had all the Great German Shepherds Gone? The breed had changed in America drastically.
