Meet the Mortons..

We are Dianne, Grant and Kurt Morton, here you will find a little about us.

We are a small, successful kennel, priding ourselves on the dedication towards our dogs and puppies.

We devote ourselves to breeding quality dogs. We aim to breed sound dogs and puppies and hope to find suitable, loving homes for our puppies. We do everything in our power to ensure that all of our puppies have a safe and happy environment to live and grow. Our motto is 'Breeding for quality, not quantity' which reflects our ethical and considerate breeding program.

All of our dogs have passed the GSDCA breeding schemes, which includes screening for Hip dysplasia and Elbow dysplasia & are Breed Survey Classified (temperament and conformationally assessed). We also do genetic testing to ensure we do not breed with animals that have known genetic issues.  We abide by strict codes of ethics set out by the National canine purebred body the Australian National Kennel Control - DogsNSW & the German Shepherd Breed Council of Australia GSDCA. We also abide by our own high standards and strong morals. We breed only when we wish to keep something ourselves. We pride ourselves on our animals and the level of dedication, commitment and care we provide. Our dogs interact and play with each other and are part of our family and are raised in our home.

We have been involved with German Shepherds for over 3 decades and love the breed. Having strong foundations in obedience and agility, we branched out into showing and breeding. We have continued to be actively involved with the breed and supported the NSW Breed club and National Council of Australia. We have supported in various roles and committees including Chief Obedience branch instructors, Head Trainers and NSW State Identification Officer and Vice President & Show Secretary. Kurt is also a registered ANKC Group 5 (Working Dog), trainee Group 7 (Non-Sporting) and Junior showmanship judge. He is also now recognised as a German Shepherd Dog Specialist Judge, ZAP assessor and Breed Surveyor.

Thinking about buying a German Shepherd? 

Our years of dedication to the breed have rewarded us with numerous top high achieving animals, but also valued family members. We only breed selectively and very occasionally. From time to time we have puppies available. Our carefully planned litters combining our renowned champion mother line are raised in our loving home environment and are apart of our family.

Please check out our available page to find out if we have anything available or planned.
