Who are Terra Norte' German Shepherd Dogs -

German Shepherds have been part of my life since the very beginning. My first German Shepherd Dog, Primo – was a 6 month old puppy when I entered the family. The bond that formed between the two of us was the beginning of a deep, lasting love of the breed. Since that time, there has always been a black & tan, black or bi-color that has served as my con

stant companion and protector. In 1984, the beginnings of Terra Norte’ took root. It had been my dream to breed and exhibit quality German Shepherd dogs. To produce sound dogs capable of being family companion while adhering to the standard of the ideal German Shepherd. Though I started with German-bred dogs, over time I have evolved towards American-bred lines. I have been fortunate to have dogs who showed their intelligence and trainability while receiving obedience titles, dogs who showed their prowess in the herding arena and those found to embody the ideal conformation and character necessary to be awarded the title of Champion. While I do compete in the conformation ring, it is my philosophy to breed dogs that will be treasured family companions. My goal is to provide individuals with dogs that will be members of their families for years to come. It is also my goal to help educate those desiring to add one of these incredible animals to their households and make certain that they are deserving of one who has “the look of eagles”.

Along with all the excitement of keeping the wheels on the wagon during the herding trial - the Terra Norte’ GSDs had a pretty good weekend too. CH Terra Norte’s Alexander The Great HSAs HSCs HSDs went High in Trial on Thursday from the intermediate D Course u set judge Marian Pott Po***ck. His haul for the weekend included 2 intermediate D course legs and 2 intermediate A course legs (on sheep), finished his AHBA RLF level one and HRD level one titles (on sheep and goats). Alex continues to amaze me!

Day 3 of the journey to Augusta…. Today left
Kentucky in the rear view, and passed the Welcome to Tennessee and Georgia signs. We also spent an hour sitting in gridlock traffic traversing first Nashville, then Chattanooga, between Chattanooga and again in Atlanta. Did stop at the Clark County Rest area at Nickajack Lake (wide part of Tennessee River). Very pretty! Dog show tomorrow!! Calling for rain, hope it moves out as forecast.

Rufus, Gabriel and I continued our eastward progression. Today we started in Kearney, NE and told the horses whoa at Kuttawa, KY. Along the way we crossed the Missouri (2x), Mississippi, Ohio, and Tennessee rivers (big time water). We rolled through Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri (Saw Kansas), Illinois and Kentucky. As I was following the Maps App through St Louis - thinking I should really take 470 south towards Memphis - the app said no..... it was because the gods intended for me to see the most fabulous sunset over Rend Lake in IL. Should have stopped and took a photo - but this one is close. Tomorrow - wagons Ho! We push on to Augusta - the land of golf courses and white pine.

Meet Terra Norte's Where Knights Roam "Alonso" (CH Sancho Panza von Loar Gomez Karizma of Inquest HT x CH Terra Norte's Beautiful Girl of Animus PT) - the ranch's newest stock dog in training. Alonso reminds me so much of Rafe as a young dog. I hope he can fit into his shoes. Here he is working on the graze in the PT arena.

Rafe says - you can now call me DC Terra Norte's Hark the Herald RN HSBs HXAs HXCs HXds FSXs!! (Plus HC HRDIIIms RLFIIIsg HTADIIs in AHBA)
The French Style Advanced - Sheep (FSXs) title is run under FCI (European) rules. To earn this Rafe worked 165 head of sheep, maneuvering them through a 6 acre course over 2,500 linear ft. Next he received a huge acknowledgement from from AKC, he finished his Herding Championship owner/breeder/handled. The crowning finish to this accomplishment was going High in Trial under judge Rusty Jeffers on Rafe's favorite course - the D "Ranch" course. He earned his first major going High in Trial on the C course under judge Nancy Ward in 2020. To accrue the necessary 15 pts for this championship, Rafe has competed in Colorado, Oklahoma, Missouri and Texas. Special thanks to all the judges who awarded his wins. Always Breeder/Owner handled.
