We live in central Alberta one and half hours to Calgary international airport.We raised German Shepherd Dogs and Standardbred horses in the 70's and 80's.In1974 we went to Germany and were able to bring home a great dog named "Basso von der Balver Hoehle". He was with us until he was 15 years old.Three of his sons went to the City of Lethbridge, and in training, passed with high in class. One of his sons was the first search and rescue dog with the Banff Park Warden Service. He had to learn to fly under a helicopter. His pups went all across Canada, the lower 48 states, even Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Guatamala. Then we concentrated on the horses and were lucky enough to produce many champions and track record holders. Our best stallion was"Lemoyne Hanover" that we bought from the Hanover Shoe Farm yearling auction.

In 2004 my wife,Olesa, wanted to raise Mini Poodles and I said OK as long as I could have some Shepherds. She has mostly Champions already, very lucky, and does a lot of her own grooming,training and loving.

For my German Shepherds, I chose to get my first two bitches from the successful Bullinger Shepherds. They are wonderful animals. We have a nice place for them to run and I can take them out to the back 40 with the John Deere gator.

We used to raise quality dogs and horses, and we are on the right track again, producing dogs that are of the standard,and that are great for their new homes. Two Police Service Dogs we are very proud of are Max of Mundell PSD, and Arco of Mundell PSD. There were several others a long time ago but I have lost track of their names.

We do aptitude and temperament test to match puppies with their new owners. The German Shepherd Dog is very versatile, capable of learning many things, and thinking for itself. They are faithful to their family and I still get great joy from sharing time with them.

Thanks for visiting.

We raised Standardbred Horses for 20 years. In the spring when our days task were finished, we would go out to the mare and foal field and watch the babies play. Very relaxing. Most yearlings were sold; others we would train and send them to race if they were fast enough. All this experience taught us that you generally need a good mom to raise a good baby. Same is true in raising dogs. Also it is a plus to have a strong pedigree and that is why all our German Shepherd dogs ancestors have been approved for breeding under the tough West German Standards. The Mini Poodles have some or all Champions and Obedience Titles in their pedigrees.

Basso von der Balver Hoehle - SchH3 AD Kkl Ia V-rated was born December 22, 1971. My first wife went to Germany and acquired him when he was 3 years old and fully trained. He was with us untill 1986. So we have been raising dog's for many years. We now have another trained 3 year old dog and his name is: Finn v Bullinger. Finn has a SchH2 title and is going back in training for SchH3. My wife,Olesa, is training and showing her Poodles. Keeps us very busy. Please come and visit with us soon. We live on a large acreage west of Innisfail, Alberta.
