Our kennel name is "vom Besten" that means from the best. We try to perpetuate the German shepherd standard established by Max von Stephanitz in the early 1900s. Thus, our shepherds have a direct pedigree from West German show lines lines and are sons or daughters of VA1 parents.

The "VA" title means excellent select and is awarded only at a Sieger Show that is only for German shepherds and is comparable to the Westminster Kennel Club that is for all dogs. If you see the  BSZS title it means the shepherd has participated in the world championship in Germany. Our male and 2 females parents have this designation also.

1. Stella von Calvo, IPO-1, BH, AD, daughter of 2VA1 Schumann von Tronje, winner of the 2014 world championship (BSZS) and 2015 US Sieger show VA1.
