Our first German Shorthaired Pointer joined our family in 1978 and the Valache prefix was founded upon the arrival of our first litter in 1982. They are an amazing breed and fit in with whatever lifestyle you lead..... lounge lizards or jogging buddies! Two beautiful Dobermanns also reside at Valache and the black and tan team are highly successful.
Our kennel is very much a family passion and everyone contributes along the way.... Garth continues to support us when speedway permits, Sheila is a superb puppy sitter and keeps the gardens looking fantastic, Ben is always there when we need him and of course Kate and Anne are completely involved in everything GSP! They have both been on the GSP Club of SA Committee for a number of years, with Anne serving her fourth year as President, with Sheila also joining the working comittee last year.
Anne is licensed for Toys, Terriers, Hounds, Gundogs and Utility and enjoys judging all of these groups. She has judged in the UK twice, France, New Zealand, and had a fantastic entry of beautiful dogs in Mexico City in August.
Kate's other passion is her equine pursuits, and with Anne as chief strapper, has a team of exciting dressage prospects currently being developed. You can visit Valache Dresssage at www.valachedressage.weebly.com
