I am delighted to announce that I am ‘owned’ by 13 beautiful White Shepherds! We all live happily 
in a quaint cottage on a farm in Kwa-Zulu Natal nestled inbetween the province's striking green hills. 

My dogs are allowed to roam the farm enjoying the exercise and building muscle making them into 
strong and healthy adult dogs. They are socialized in the nearby Public Park once a week ( or more) 
where they get to ‘smell’ the latest news, make friends with dogs of different breeds, 
meet people and swim in the fast flowing river that runs through the park. 
We have a few ‘home made’ agility jumps and weaving poles that we practice with, 
keeping both humans and dogs in shape ! 

WHAT DO I LOVE THE MOST ABOUT MY SHEPHERDS ?

I love their absolute charm, intelligence, ‘sense of humor’, loyalty, sheer beauty and elegance………………..in a nutshell: 
I JUST LOOOOOVE MY FURRY FAMILY ! 

AND THE THINGS THAT NATURALLY JUST GO ‘WITH THE BREED’:

1) Nothing in your life is private………..anyway what does that word mean ?!!  
    Loyalty : this comes with a price ! never think you can make it to the ‘bathroom’ on your own, you will always 
    have a ‘trail’ of shepherds following you into this somewhat small space. And don’t ever think you can shut 
    the bathroom door just ‘a little’ – they willl make it their business to nudge the door open and peep at you 
    while you are trying your best to be ‘private’! 

2) Don’t try and outrun them to the phone when it rings – they are prepared and will beat you to it every time ! 

3) Your  bed is not your own nor is your fluffy pillow 
    and don’t get clever by trying to outrun them to 
    your bed once you have switched the lights off – 
    once again they will beat you to it! 
    (after which you have a ‘begging’ session lasting 
    approximately 15 minutes to get them off the bed, 
    off the pillow and finally in their places!)

4) Try not to purchase a normal vacuum cleaner, an industrial one which sucks up sheep wool is much better! 
    (only joking) 

5) Trying to give yourself a new hair-do ? think again…….your curlers and brushes will soon take legs and walk
    along with your shoes you have left lying around……..so be prepared and learn the words ‘where did you hide
    mommy’s brush? Where did you hide mommy’s shoes ? clever boy, clever girl show mommy where you put 
    them ?the shoe-thing usually happens when it is raining so you hop along on one leg and find the shoe only 
    to find its sopping wet ! I just looove my dogs !  

6) Been shopping lately ? oh, that’s nice – 
    on arrival at home try your best to keep the dogs away from 
    your groceries – being an inquisitive breed you are bound to find 
    a couple of heads sniffing around inside your packets simply 
    out of curiosity - so the idea is to stop the car, judge the distance 
    to the kitchen door and become a ‘long jump’ champion in seconds. 
    Practise makes perfect.

7) Chocolate brownies, ice cream and popcorn don’t actually belong to you – settling down to watch a movie 
    is a mission so always make double the amount for the 13 pairs of eyes staring at you ! 
    They just loooove pudding! 

8) Don’t think you can get away with a Sunday morning sleep in either ! I still cant figure out how they know 
    its Sunday and this means ‘its time for their walk in the park’…….I have tried tricking them on numerous 
    occasions and it doesn’t work ! 

9) Reading a book are you? Sorry, that’s completely out of the question – as you settle the first wet nose will 
    appear quietly above the book, the next wet nose suddenly nudges the book and the 3rd one will gently 
    appear and virtually take the book away …any questions ? 

10) Detectives? You have picked the perfect breed – the breed misses nothing – don’t try changing anything 
      in the house , surprise!  They notice immediately.    

Since you have a clearer picture I would like to introduce you to the oldest members of my ‘family’ first, each one special in every way : 

Meet my
handsome boys!

Meet my
beautiful girls!

Our offspring
racing into the future!

EVERGREEN 

My passion and love for the breed grows with each passing year
           It’s wonderful to be able to share with you the joy that my dogs have given me.

My Tribute

.......... a lifetime of love!
