Santana German Shepherds

Santana German Shepherds was established in 1954
Both of us were AKC German Shepherd Specialty Judges. Both of us were Handlers and finished many of our own Shepherds and those of Clients.
We whelped, raised, trained, conditioned and exhibited all of our own Shepherds. Among which God granted us the Great Gift of Our Incomparable Ch. Von Schrief's Portrait ROM and our Beloved 'Big Red'..Ch. Santana's Man O' War ROM.

I have also authored many, many articles over the years for many Magazines about the German Shepherd Breed.
We started judging in the early 70's but Doyle was forced to retire in the mid-eighties after suffering a severe hearing loss. I am still accepting a few assignments as our home situation and care of our Dogs dictate.

Doyle and I founded the Orange Coast German Shepherd Dog Club and Doyle was the first President. I also served as Working Group Director for the Santa Ana Valley KC and ran it's Working Group training classes for show handling and training. I have been a Member of the GSDCA since 1956.

I worked with Marie Leary and Dr. Otto Schales in assisting the establishment of the OFA program for HD and have been involved in a lifetime effort to improve the Health and longevity of the GS Breed. I belong presently to the GSDCA and am serving on the Health Committee in the Health First Project. I'm a member of the GSDC of Oregon and I also belong to and totally support, the GSDCA- WDA.
I am the past President and Honorary Lifetime Member of the GSDC of Hawaii.

My lifetime goal has been to better the German Shepherd Breed that I have been privileged to know and to have served with a lasting love and unwavering devotion for the entire German Shepherd Breed, here and abroad, all these 50 years.
