On February 12, 2023, Cirsei entered the German Shepherd Dog League NSW Members Show competition to earn her show rating. Stepping into the GSD show fraternity was terrifying at first — a whole new world for us — but the experience turned out to be absolutely awesome. We are incredibly grateful for the support and expert guidance from Samantha Hendricks, who helped us prepare and handled Cirsei on the day.
The show was held under Mr. Salvatore Pitelli, and Cirsei’s performance earned a show rating "G'. Here is the critique from the event:
Height 58cm, chest 27: Above medium size, medium strong grey female of good type, good head and expression, powerful upper and lower jaw, good ear set, stands with a slightly erect neck, normal width, firm back, the croup short and steep, good forequarter angulation where the upper arm should be better angled. Good underline, good hind angulation, moves correctly going and coming. In movement, shows good hind thrust with good reach, maintaining a very firm topline.
This competition provided a valuable opportunity to experience the show world and gather constructive feedback on Cirsei’s conformation. We look forward to further developing her in both working and conformation arenas.
Lining up for the critique
Licensed breeder of German Shepherd dogs via Dogs NSW #2100075821
Our aim is to uphold the legacy of the German Shepherd as a true working breed — with honesty, discipline, and deep respect for its origin.
We breed selectively, only when pursuing the next generation for our own kennel.
We welcome genuine expressions of interest from those seeking a working-line German Shepherd puppy bred with purpose and from parents with proven sound temperament, strong working potential, and a clear head. Our dogs are placed with working homes, experienced handlers, or dedicated families who value the importance of structure, training, and meaningful engagement. Kanikular puppies are raised in our home, not kennels — surrounded by daily household life, exposed to children, and handled with care. Each puppy undertakes early socialisation and age-appropriate exposure to new environments, sounds, and people help prepare them for a confident and balanced start in life.
