Welcome To the Home Of Stormlake German Shepherd Dogs

My name is kate Hearne

I have been involved in a little showing, obedience & breeding of German Shepherd Dogs since the age of 15 years old.

By the age of 17 I had started working at a German Shepherd breeding & boarding kennels based in my home county of Essex .

It was whilst working in such kennels I decided that in the future I would only ever want to raise any of my own future puppies in a family home .

Two years later I took a course as a canine beautician & qualified with the London acadamy of grooming.

I then stayed on to work for a short time before returning to Essex to start my own grooming business from home.

My original German Shepherds began to age with time so it was then I decided to start my search for my ideal type of German Shepherd Dog .

After a very long time searching we eventually tound The type , temperament & conformation of German Shepherds we had been looking for in the form of some well respected and excellent bloodlines .

 Over the years our family of shepherds has grown.

And now along with my husband & daughter we have in my opinion some of the finest German shepherd Dogs around in type, temperament, character & colour.

I am not a commercial breeder and our dogs are loyal family pets .

we are very fortunate to have several acres of land so our dogs always have plenty of excersise and play.

We do occasionally breed a litter of puppies from the dogs that we ourselves are fortunate enough to live with , temperament being a priority.

All our breeding dogs are hip Xrayed & scored and males are Haemophilia tested.

In September 2007 I became approved by the Acadamy Of dog training & behaviour as a Instructor (Gold Level) so I can now also offer a training & behaviour service.

On The 29/3/09 I attended the Kennel Club Conformation And Movement with Hands On Seminar beld By Stephen Bardwell and I passed recieving my KC Certificate .

On 8/5/09 I also attended the animal first aid course at the College Of Animal Welfare

Where I recieved my certificate of completion.

8/11/09 I attended the seminar on fertility,breeding,mating and whelping by Angelika von Heimendahl MScAg DipECAR BVM (Berlin) MRCVS

and Genetics talk by Dr Jeff Sampson (KC Geneticist).

I am part of the southern GSD club committee , being one of the Instructors and help with all breed dog training classes on monday evenings.

I am also a qualified Peddymark Micro-chip implanter for all dogs-cats and puppies

and can offer a microchipping service throughout Essex and surrounding areas
