History of Iolanda German Shepherds

Find out a bit about us......

Gerry and I started in German Shepherds in 1976 as pet owners, and then went on to Obedience, closely followed by showing. By the early 80's we were gaining "Tickets" "Reserve Tickets" and "Junior Warrants" all with home bred stock.

We moved to our present premises in 1986 and had a great time building the kennels, of which there are 24.

After Gerry passed away, I thought about retiring from showing and breeding, but the thought of what Gerry would say gave me the boost to keep on going, and very quickly made another Champion with Iolanda Rene, who gained 3 tickets at 3 shows. I have since gone from strength to strength with my dogs. I also do a little boarding, mainly for the owners of dogs I have bred.

I imported a new dog last year from Croatia, "Mark Od Gim A" his lines being the best of both my worlds, his sire being Italian (Max dell Alpe Adria) and the German side, his dam "Telga von Wienerau".

I have just brought a bitch into the country from the Batu kennels in Germany and I have one more due here soon from the Batu and another from the Zelldwaldrand Kennels they will be here soon.

I am a specialist kennel who over the years have produced numerous Champions, CC, RCC, JW and multiple Championship Show winners.

I have always been renowned for my quality bitches and presently have some excellent females in the kennel, not only are they winners but are producers as well.

My "Iolanda" bred dogs have won and are winning for their owners at Open and Championship shows. 2004 started well for the kennels with many Championship and Open show wins and I am optimistic and excited about the future. Besides my established winning/producing team I have some extremely promising young stock.

All breeding stock are x-rayed and all males are harmophila tested.

All enquiries receive the personal attention of myself. Why not pay me a visit where you will be assured of a very friendly greeting from all of us at "Iolanda Kennels".

I can be found on Cromwell Road, Wisbech just of the A47.
