OUR STORY

Growing up, Jackson's parents adopted a one-year-old German Shepherd Dog named Jake knowing they had the time, space and means to give him a better life than what he had previously known. Looking back now, Jackson says his love for the breed began with Jake. Skip a fair few years ahead when Jackson moved to Germany at the early age of 14 to pursue a career in soccer. Although he knew it wasn't possible, due to living in a unit and having limited time, Jackson wanted his own German Shepherd companion. His friend decided to gift him a furry friend that he would be able to manage- a stuffed toy German Shepherd. The funny gift turned out to be quite a meaningful surprise that Jackson still thinks back to today. After eight years in Germany, Jackson returned to Australia. As soon as he was settled, Jackson started looking for a four-legged best friend and in 2018 Jackson found Drago.

Before long, one became two which led Jackson to further research the path to becoming a registered breeder, and why improving the German Shepherd breed is so important. As time went on, he decided to look for a beautiful home to purchase. Top of the priority list when looking at different properties on the market was sufficient acreage so Drago and now Déjà had plenty of room to run and play. In 2020, Jackson found the perfect place- Heidelberg- where they all reside today!

Our German Shepherd family has grown in the last 18 months, as has our understanding of what it takes to breed healthy German Shepherds with sound temperaments. Our dogs are raised in a loving home environment, and are all physically, mentally and genetically sound. As a Disability Support Worker, Jackson often takes our German Shepherds with him to work and has seen the positive impact our dogs can have on the people he supports in many different areas.

Our dogs have been hip (A) and elbow (Z) scored through the German Shepherd Dog Council of Australia (GSDCA) and we have DNA screened for hereditary diseases. Our dogs have been put through the GSDCA Breed Survey Scheme. We are members of Dogs New South Wales and the German Shepherd Dog League of NSW. We are a small, family-run kennel, located in rural New South Wales. Our puppies will be suitable for a wide range of functions whether it be the perfect family pet, for showing, security, companionship or other work. Jackson has since become heavily involved in showing German Shepherds and is a committee member of the GSDL Club of New South Wales.
