About Vom Himmelhoch Shepherds

Vom Himmelhoch Shepherds is a small kennel located in central Ohio. We actively train and trial our dogs in the sport of Schutzhund.

Schutzhund training evaluates a dog's intelligence and utility in three skill areas: tracking, obedience, and protection.

At vom Himmelhoch we rely on Schutzhund training to supply us with valuable insights into the temperament and training ability of our breeding dogs and their offspring.

I personally love to train. I appreciate the bond that develops between handler and dog. And I have found the German Shepherd Dog to be an especially intelligent and willing partner. To date the dogs I have trained have achieved the following titles:

• BH (6 dogs)
• AD (2)
• SchH1 (1)
• SchH2 (1)
• SchH3 (1)
• IPO1 (1)
• IPO2 (1)
