Seminars and further training

It is very important to us to continuously educate ourselves in order to gain new knowledge, new insights and new skills.

We integrate this new knowledge into our breeding program and our daily lives with our dogs in order to improve and further develop the breeding, care, keeping and exercise of our dogs.
