AUSTONEHEDGE

Our love for the German Shepherd began in 1990, when we attended a Landesgruppen show for the first time. We were immediately captivated by the breed’s intelligence, beauty, and athleticism — traits that embody the true spirit of a working dog. That experience marked the beginning of what has become a lifelong passion. In 1992, after attending several shows and learning more about the breed, we welcomed our first German Shepherd, Cara. Sadly, our time with her was cut short when she contracted canine coronavirus, a loss that left a lasting mark on us. It took several years before we were ready to begin again. By 1994, our dedication was renewed, and we began the journey anew with deeper understanding and commitment. Four years later, in 1998, we proudly imported our first female from the renowned Fiemereck kennel in Germany. From that point onward, our focus turned to breeding and exhibiting high-quality German Shepherds, preserving the breed’s working heritage, strength of character, and unmistakable nobility.
