Welkom!

Welcome to van Kelder German Shepherd dogs. 

At present I do not breed and have no intention of breeding my dogs.  Check back in fifteen years!  I enjoy training, competing in trials, and showing my dogs in disciplines such as rally obedience, agility, pet therapy, temperament testing, herding, WDA conformation, and UKC dog sport.

As I get more involved in training and showing, people are asking me for information on where to train, what sports to try, where to get a German shepherd dog, etc. The purpose of this site is not only to highlight my own dogs, but provide information and recommendations for local clubs, trainers, and breeders, as well as any other resources that have been helpful to me and others. If I can do it, anyone can!
