Herding Enthusiasts!
My friend, Marion Fueller, has asked me to post this news:
In 2009, the big sheepherding trial (Bundesleitungshuten) is in Stettbach, Germany near Schweinfurt, the home of the Kirschental Kennel.
The Ortsgroup (local SV club) in Schweinfurt and the Fueller Family are trying to make this a special event for all people who are interested in the old fashioned work of "original" shepherd dogs. We invite all enthusiasts & advise you to make plans now, for next year!
The dates of the Bundesleistungshuten & the Bundessiegerprufung are very compatible for those making travel plans to attend both events. Donaueschingen is 297 km away from Stettbach.

The NEWS/ARTICLES/LINKS Page has been giving us technical trouble & we have been unable to update some of the components. Please be patient with us as we try to rebuild! Latest Article Addition can be found by clicking HERE.
There have been many changes at Traumhof over the past couple years; too numerous to list here. The dogs are part of my family, and when my personal life took some unexpected twists and turns, the dogs' lives changed as well. Throughout a very trying and difficult time, the dogs remained my priority. Following my divorce, the dogs & I relocated from Townsend, MA & after two moves, settled in the beautiful Lakes Region of NH. We are happily homed on a farm that is perfectly suited for the dogs' needs & happiness, adjacent to walking trails and complete with magnificent views of the mountains.
In addition to relocating, another major change in our lives was my son's arrival in the world! Although my dogs were not raised from puppyhood with an infant, they have been WONDERFUL with my son.
My internet silence, unavailability, & absence at shows, competition, Herding has been a result of the many changes I was juggling, and the two moves (- the first time to a mountain valley in West Virginia, with no cell service and intermittent internet capability.) There have been many issues to sort out & try to resolve, and I continue in my attempt to do so.
My devotion to my dogs remains unchanged. My efforts to preserve Herding ability & the Kirschental bloodline in my breeding program also remains steadfast. The term often used for occasional litters from a small breeding program is "Hobby breeder;" but more correctly, the dogs are not just my passion, or my hobby, but are the center of my life.
I am looking forward to re establishing a presence on our FB page - which I often used to "blog" in the past, rebuilding the website & have plans to bring back our popular get togethers, puppy parties, and events. I will also be resuming group training classes and individual sessions. And of course, I will have puppies available - all descending from my Kirschental foundation dogs and the incomparable Sherry vom Kirschental. Upcoming puppies carry four generations of my dogs, and of course, over 50 years of Karl Fuller's Kirschental female line behind them. Hard to believe Sherry has Great Grandkids up and coming already!
