Since 1972 I am a member of the SV and I breed under the kennel name “von der Orangerie”.
My first litter was whelped in 1974 and I breed many notable German Shepherd Dog over the years. Most recently, Ilka von der Orangerie was ranked SG 13 at the Bundessiegerzuchtschau in Germany. In 2013 Wesly von der Orangerie ranked on SG 19 and Thor von der Orangerie SG 25. I trained most dogs by myself. I was chairman of the local group in Fulda for 12 years, now I serve as the chairman of the “Landesgruppe Hessen-Nord”.
In the year 2004 I was appointed a judge and in the year 2009, a “Körmeister”. In 2012 I was the judge for the breeding groups and the long coated females at the Siegershow in Ulm. In 2014 I judged the “Jugendklasse Hündinnen” at the Siegershow in Nürnberg.
I run my own veterinary practice since 1983. I am primarily specializing in small animals.
In addition to Germany, I judged dogs in China, Indonesia, Russia, Ukraine, Hungaria, Irland, Sweden, Mexico and India etc.
