Welcome to the home of stormlake German shepherd Dogs

My name is kate Hearne

I have been involved in a little showing, obedience & breeding of German Shepherd Dogs since the age of 15 years old.

By the age of 17 I had started working at a German Shepherd breeding & boarding kennels based in my home county of Essex .

It was whilst working in such breeding kennels that I decided that in the future I only wanted to breed my girls & raise my puppies in a family home .

Two years later I took a course as a canine beautician & Qualified at the london acadamy of grooming

I then stayed on to work for a short time before returning To Essex to start my own grooming business from home.

My original German Shepherds began to age with time so I then decided to start my search for my ideal type of German Shepherd Dog .

After a long time searching we eventually found the type , temperament & conformation of German Shepherds we had been searching for in the form of Aristima & other exellent bloodlines

With the help of june Aristima & jo Izumis our family of shepherds has grown. Now along with my husband & daughter we have in my opinion some of the finest German shepherd dogs around in type, temperament, character & colour.

I am not a commercial breeder and our dogs are loyal family pets .

We are very lucky to have several acres of land so our dogs always have plenty of excersise and play.

We do occasionally breed a litter of puppies from the dogs that we ourselves are fortunate enough to live

Temperament being a priority.

All our breeding dogs are hip xrayed & scored and males are haemophilia tested

In september 2007 I became approved by the acadamy of dog training & behaviour as a instructor (gold level) so I can now also offer a training & behaviour service.

I am also part of the southern GSD club committee and sometimes help with all breed dog training classes on a monday evening.

I hope you enjoy browsing through my site and please sign my guestbook before you leave.
