Whyteridge Kennels ~ White Swiss Shepherds

The most decorated White German Shepherd  Dog (ANKC registered) in the Obedience ring since the 1970's

 ~ Whyteridge Kennels est 1998 ~

 
 We got our 1st ANKC registered Whitemile Xena who did not trial but ended up as a GREAT companion for our children, they ended up taking her to Obedience Class and got her to the Advance Class, (Pre-Novice) which she passed with flying colours with a 9 year and 7 year old boy as her handlers.

 (My oldest son was 3 years of age when photo's were taken)  

This was a normal sight kids and dogs all in the same bed!  

Our 2nd White German Shepherd came several years later with another ANKC registered purebred Wootton Alaska an 8-week bundle of joy.

First and foremost, a companion for our increasingly large family. At 8 weeks of age we could see he had come from a ‘working line’ so we dusted out the cobwebs and started doing Obedience with him.

Not only did we gain our obedience title of CD and CDX in the Obedience ring, we also won several 'Open' rings in All Breeds and well as Breed Obedience rings throughout the NSW/ACT area.

Whyteridge Kennels was the only kennel in Australia prepared to trial a ANKC Registered 'White German Shepherd' in 2005 thro to 2008! 

We consider our success in the obedience ring a bonus and tribute to the
German Shepherd.

We are fortunate to have 2 White German Shepherds who are very much
part of our family, both with great temperaments and very robust as the dogs did grow up with my children, my children also included the dogs in all their outside activities which included softball one dog had to sit on 2nd base (love retrieving)
and the other dog at short stop a great site to see, and what better way to play a card game than have both dogs joining in.

Both of my children were very instrumental in the development of both dogs
in the early days, and all of our dogs have taught my children so much within the dog world.............. it is their memories............and that is priceless! 

 Below was a sequence photo opportunity that I couldn't resist
(my youngest son is 13 months old at the time)

A series of pictures that say a thousand words!

 
My oldest son 3 years old at the time, getting to know a Blue Heeler out on the farm,
but sharing a yarn!

Bringing you up to date in the year 2009 

A typical day with the dogs...kids just playing....dogs just havin a good time!

Same kids just a little older but their affections for dogs have not change over the years!

 With our young Black/Gold boy, he has open a another world for us and that is 'Conformation Showing', as well as doing obedience work and we look forward to competing next year

~ A Blast from the Past ~

Myself and Brendell Anya in the mid 80's  

Who was my consistent companion for over 10 years in New Zealand
as she went with me to every Photo Surfing Session that I had,
it was only fitting that we ended up with beach shots of her and I together!

Coastline Photo's  was developed as a tribute to this majestic and regal
German Shepherd! It was an honour to have had her!

A bit of trivia:
In the 1960's a great surf beach was discovered in the USA the beach 
was later named after a 'White German Shepherd'
The beach break is known as 'MAVERICKS' and is one of the best surf
breaks of all times!
