Hi my name is Irene Kilpert and I hail from Zimbabwe (Africa).  Having grown up on a farm dogs have always been a part of my life.  About 10 years ago I inherited a young German Shepherd from a farmer who had lost his land and I joined the local GSD club.  I have become passionate about GSD's and obedience training.  I know have 3 GSD's although I only work and compete with one of them - Her name is Maggie she is 7 years old and could be dynamic if it wasn't for the idiot at the other end of the lead.
