Before we bought our first purebred German Shepherd, Hausmekon's Roulette v Zajacz ( Tahoe) we were owned by a Springer Spaniel name King Arthur. Arthur was a wonderful boy who unfortunately was only with us for 5 short years due to health problems. I had wanted a German Shepherd since I met my first shepherd in 1974 soon after Mark and I got married. Simone was rescued by Mark as he was driving home from work. Unfortunately, Simone's medical problems were very many and she went to the rainbow bridge in a few short months. But she was there long enough to show us what a German Shepherd is all about. Heart and brains! After her death, it was many years before we got another one. But the desire to be owned by one never left. We picked the name Culzeans because it means "stronghold" in the ancient Gaelic language. It is pronounced "Cul-lanes". We believe our shepherds are exactly that: A Stronghold in Excellence. We have been raising and breeding German Shepherds since 1995 when we purchased our first purebred German Shepherd, Tahoe. She was the love of our life. Everyone who met Tahoe was struck by not only her beauty but her brains and sense of humor. We lost Tahoe this last summer and miss her everyday. Temperament and structure go hand in hand with the shepherd. Without one the other is wasted. Breeding and having a great "show" dog is nice, breeding and having a GREAT German Shepherd dog is the GOAL. Tahoe produced a wonderful male named Tahoe's Oso Bonanza. We call him Bear. Bear is a big masculine boy whose temperament and structure rivals his dads: Sierra N Talimar's Bonanza. Hoss, Bear's father is the son of CH. Talimar's American Express, ROM. Bear is, as his mother and father were and are, a wonderful example of a noble breed. Tahoe and Hoss also produced a stunning girl who lives in Idaho with Fran Jewel of Positive Puppy Training. Giselle, Bears' sister exudes the same structure and temperament as her relatives. Please use our link to check out all of her accomplishments on Frans' website. When we bought Brierhill's Sheer Delight, we knew we bought a great pedigree but little did we know that "DeeDee" would be so much fun to live with. She is smart, funny and more than just a little spoiled! Her breeder, Margaret Sherr of Brierhill Kennel in San Diego California has bred some wonderful dogs such as CH. Brierhill's Versace, who is a multiple BIS winner and was number one shepherd in the country in 2000. She also had CH. Covy-Tucker HIll's Storm Brier, ROM and multiple BIS winner. CH. Brierhill's One and Only, Amanda, who was listed as number 4 shepherd in 2005, She also bred CH. Brierhill's Storm Buddy, and many more. DeeDee and Bear have produced a litter of eight wonderful puppies. Oso, Reese and Elsa are Culzean dogs that are doing quite well in the show ring. Brierhill's Great Expectations, aka, Emma, has a Best of Breed to her name. Emma is a litter mate to Oso, Reese and Elsa. Emma is owned and co-owned by Margaret Sherr and Dolly Courtail. Emma now has 5 points towards her championship. Elsa is owned and handled by Gina Foard of Vlinder German Shepherds. We now live in northeast Texas where the pace is slow. The dogs keep us busy and we enjoy every minute of it. Come visit us and see how great dogs entertain! Big blue skies and bright starry nights. Come visit the stars of our home. |
