I became a member for 26 years of the OG Winsen/Luhe (LG1) Additionally in 1976 I earned 179 titles on 20 different dogs at club,

regional and national levels.My years with that club in Winsen were well served; 26 years as a helper/decoy, 20 years as the training

director and 12 years as president of the club. My skills as helper gave me the opportunity to dedicate over 10 years as teaching

helper in my German region. In addition I served for 5 years as Regional delegate member for the SV annual meetings.

For 4 years I was the Vice Training Director for the LG and was responsible for the training of new teaching helpers, judges

and also creating training programs.

I breed under the Kennel name "vom Kiebitzende" and my breeding program for working dogs has been very successful.

More than 75% of the dogs we bred are titled or working for Police departments.
Since 2003 every year dogs from my kennel competed at the Canadian Nationals.

In 2006 one of our breeding won the Universal Sieger title and in 2007 the best Canadian bred dog came “vom Kiebitzende”

In 2009 Helga vom Kiebitzende represented Canada at the WUSV worlds in Germany and in 2010 it was Kofi vom Kiebitzende
who competed at the WUSV worlds in Spain. Kofi also is qualified for the World Universal Championship 2011 in Austria.
Since I started with the sport of Schutzhund I trained 22 different dogs to 198 titles! To this day 3 of this 22 dogs made it to the
WUSV World Championships.

Even if I breed working dogs, I always respect the members who compete in shows. I handled at least 180 dogs in shows myself.

The biggest success was V19 at the German Siegershow and having trained this dog for the WUSV World Championship.

Also I prepared the Canadian Siegerin in 2002.

In the years following I was a competitor as well as a lecturer presenting seminars about the sport in more than 18 countries
As a helper/decoy I worked over 50 000 protections and still continue to do so.

I have attained the WUSV Sports Medal and have been an SV Working Dog Judge since 1994.

I have judged internationally on many occasions and in more then 18 countries. My first visit to Canada was in 1998 as a judge

at a working trial. In 2001 I moved with my family to Saint John, New Brunswick and joined the

German Shepherd Schutzhund Club of Canada as a member and a working judge. Also in 2001, I joined the young

Fundy Schutzhund Club( FSC). At that time I was helper, trainer and lecturer with the Fundy Club.

From 2002 until today I was organizer, helper and 5 times competitor with 3 different dogs at the Canadian Championships.

In 2003/04 and 2007 I became head judge for the GSSCC. From summer 2005 until 2009, I was the President of the German Shepherd Schutzhund

Club of Canada and in 2006 and 2007 I was Team Captain Canada for the GSSCC. I'm still active for the GSSCC Helper committee and Judges committee.

With moving to Prince Edward Island in June 2008 I became a member and in 2010 the President of the PEI SC . I hope to help establishing another strong Schutzhund club in Eastern Canada.
