More Carlo Puppies... [29th September 2014]
Carlo's third litter has just arrived. Born to Lacey of Annenberg, who is owned by Lisa Diamond, currently hosting Carlo in Cape Town. Congratulations Lisa. We hope they grow up to be as beautiful as their mom and dad.
Carlo's first litter was born to Nick Ferreira's female, Blaze von Eisenheim, one of our Olf's first progeny. A second litter belongs to Gunther Lehmann's VA bitch, Yuki of Annenberg. We wish the breeders well with their Carlo progeny and are looking forward to seeing them grow up!

Stars of the Show! Grahamstown National Arts Festival 2014 [13th July 2014]
Bump von dem Krieger-Platz and Chase of Penncroft, both Olf von der Datze offspring, and owned by Natalie Parfitt and Iain Paterson, were the stars of a performance entitled "19 Born 76 Rebels" at this week's National Arts Festival in Grahamstown.
They played the role of police dogs in a choreographic piece recalling the 1976 riots. They had to bark on command, and act fierce! And then afterwards, the audience saw them calm and playful with their owners. An excellent display of the versatility and balanced temperament of the GSD!
