Conformation: Gabriele Pettinaroli (Italy)

From my love of the sheep to that of the German Shepard there was only a short step. Since this was the dog that was to guard my beloved sheep.

I received my first dog from a neighbour at the age of five. My passion for the breed developed rapidly due to the company provided by the dog along with its usefulness.

I decided to purchase a female pedigree number LOI 525.

Later I learned that a German Shepard Club had been founded in Italy and I immediately joined the SAS (Sociatá Amatori Schaferhunde) member number 15.

At the age of ten I had my first litter and from that moment I dedicated myself to the selection and breeding of German Shepard.

My interest in sheep brought me to the Industrial School for master weavers. I then founded a company specializing in sportswear fabrics.

Being now retired from business I spend my time exclusively breeding German Shepard successfully.

In 1978 I was appointed international specialist judge for German Shepard, selection judge in 1980 and S.V. breed judge in 1983.

Having more time at my disposal now I am able to accept invitations to judge from many clubs all over the world.

These include Germany, home of the German Shepard, all of Europe and amongst many other Indonesia, Japan, Central and South America, Australia and New Zealand.
