In 1974 our second German Shepherd arrived she has been bred by Miss Moncreiff of Moncreiff was called '' Carmen of Dunmonaigh ''  she had previously lived with Bob and Sue Hadley of the Bygoly kennels, and we had the pleasure of her until we said our goodbye's after 12 years. We decided to try our hand in the show world and over the years we bought several puppies in the hope that we would be successful. Unfortunately it wasn't to be and we gave up. Our luck was about to change, we were looking to move house and came across a bungalow, however when we viewed the property we decided it wasn't really for us. However while we there we came across a beautiful young female German shepherd called ''Jodie'' she belonged to the owner of the bungalow. It was clear to us that he didn't really have a love for dogs and we asked to buy her there and then, sadly he turned us down, but we left details of where to contact us if he ever decided to part with her. We worried about her for days and wondered what we could do to persuade him that we would give her a lovely home. A short while afterwards, we had a visit from her owner and he asked if we would still like Jodie, we didn't think twice and immediately went to  collect her. We would have paid his asking price whatever it may have been, we were so desperate to have her, but he asked for only £40. We spoke to her previous owner about where she had come from and after some research we found that she had been bred by Sue and Bob Hadley of the Bygoly kennels who we already knew from the past. We contacted Sue and explained that we had Jodie with us, Sue explained that as a puppy Jodie had been sold to another breeder as a show dog but had been sold on because she would not make the grade. Sue and Bob gave us Jodie's Kennel club registration, her name was ''Bygoly Kizzy'' and we were over the moon with her. We decided to have a litter with Jodie and mated her to Lido V Hambachtal. To our great delight Jodie produced a beautiful litter of puppies and she was a wonderful Mother. Within this litter came our first show Champion. We were so proud of Jodie. A little later Derek's Sister was broken into and was afraid to be in the house by herself and asked if she could take Jodie home with her, of course we knew Jodie would be well cared for and she already loved Derek's Sister . We agreed, Jodie was then spayed and lived the life of luxury until she was 13 years of age.  Our little Jodie was a God send, in her one and only litter she produced us our first show champion. DECHSLINE GERMAN SHEPHERDS   DOVESIDE BOARDING KENNELS  01283 704 781 We were so greatly rewarded for our genuine love of the German Shepherd. We have imported a lovely Swedish bred male '' Schezzheims Escapology ''he is known to us as Scapo. Scapo has to be the most intelligent dog we have ever known. There has also been Lennox,Pasadena, Fanta and Darinja which we have also imported, all of which have been a great asset to our kennel. We hope this has given you an insight to ourselves as breeders, exhibitors and carers of the wonderful German Shepherd dog. CHAMPION LISSIE OF SIEABA We have also imported a beautiful Zamp Thermodos Daughter Queenie who has produced some excellent progeny as her breeding suggests.         MEET THE BREEDERS   Our life with the German Shepherd dog  began many many years ago with a lovely nine month old rescue male called Blitz , he was our family pet, lived in our home and grew up along side our children showing the true nature of a shepherd , loyal and extremely trustworthy, a protector of his family, we sadly lost Blitz at 13 years of age and will always remember him fondly. We both shared a mutual love of the German shepherd and as the years go by our passion for the breed continues. We both have very big hearts where animals are concerned and our genuine love for the Gsd proved to be extremely rewarding for us in the show world, we will explain later. DEREK AND PAULINE BIGNELL Over the years we have introduced excellent bloodlines into the UK to aid in the quality of our puppies and enhance our kennel overall. We strive to do the best mating we can achieve, health and temperament being our main priorities.  Our puppies are always well socialised and confident in nature. They happily settle into pet homes with children or other pets.
