ABOUT ANGELSUN

 

My first purebred dog was a German Shepherd Dog back in 1980. She was a couch potato, doorbell and a great family dog as she watched over my two young sons.  Like so many in her breed, it was her hips that let her down and she left us at just 8 years of age.

I got involved with Manchester Terriers for both breeding and showing as well as competitive obedience and agility.  My Standard Manchesters were bred under the “DemonMoon” prefix and produced quality dogs in three countries which included many conformation champions and performance titles.  The ‘DemonMoon’ line is still alive and doing well with those that saw the quality of the dogs I had worked with.  Best in Show, Best in Specialty show, High in Class winners were just some of the dogs that made up my breeding program.  Special thanks to those wonderful people that owned and still own the dogs out of my breeding program and have taken them to many successes of their own and used them for their foundation dogs.  I still remain in close contact with many of the Manchester owners and am always thrilled to hear about their achievements. 

The last Manchester litter was whelped here in the spring of 2003.

In the mid 1990’s I began a search for another breed to compliment my Manchesters.  Something I could have some fun with, show and enjoy that was similar to what I knew.  I found the German Pinscher, but unfortunately there wasn’t many kennels I wanted to purchase a dog from as temperaments were not their priority. I needed a dog I could live with and that could live with the terriers!

I was fortunate to find a Canadian breeder that put temperament above show rosettes and with the purchase of this dog, began a new exciting aspect to my life in breeding and showing.

“Reise” proved to be a milestone for myself and the breed in North America and beyond, but at the time, he was just a fun and comical dog to own and show.  Little did we realize that our weekends of fun would turn into record making and breaking rewards!  Upon recognition in January 2000, the German Pinschers entered the official Canadian Kennel Club conformation rings.  Reise quickly made his mark being the first GP to win a “puppy in group” and held the record for the most Puppy wins until his daughter shattered that record three years later!  Reise went on to be the first GP to win the group in July 2002.  By June 2003 he also won the coveted Best in Show ribbon (all breed) to which no other GP can lay claim to owning.  Reise retired from the show rings in 2004 once he acquired his American Championship title.  AKC recognized the breed for regular competition in January 2003.  Reise was never kennel packed to any of his wins both in Canada or the USA.  His title, like all of my dog’s titles, was earned honestly with outside competition and in different areas nationwide.  It was Reise that made me see that my true calling in dogs was the German Pinscher and so began the transformation from terriers to pinschers, and as such, Angelsun was born.

Over the past number of years, ANGELSUN has produced dogs that have been lovingly cared for and considered foundations for many other kennels both in North America and Europe as well as genetic contributions by way of frozen semen to Australia which have also produced amazing results!  

Selective breeding and keeping only the best has ensured the quality of an ANGELSUN GP.  Temperament is our top priority as we know that people must be able to LIVE with their dog day to day.  I am proud that many of the dogs involved in my pedigrees are not only multiple conformation champions, but are therapy dogs and are involved in many social activities showing their true happy nature to which the breed standard calls for.  They have not lost their drive to watch and hunt, but they also are great companions in the home, with families and other animals.  ANGELSUN dogs live with toddlers, cats, small dogs and assorted other critters in harmony.  Like ANY dog of any breed, they must be taught to be respectful of all of these and with a sound genetic base to build on, the ANGELSUN team proves that these dogs can be happy and content members of today’s society.

Breeding at ANGELSUN is done carefully and infrequently to ensure only the best match ups are made.  My boys are not available at public stud and only by private treaty.  If you have a bitch that you think may benefit from one of the ANGELSUN boys, I look forward to hearing from you but don’t be offended if you are turned down.  I do not own boys to cash in on stud fees. They are here to improve the breed first and foremost, and if they can’t with a bitch, I will not agree to a breeding.  It really doesn’t matter to me if my boys are ever used outside the ANGELSUN boundaries. 

Many people want to see the parents of the litters or the pups themselves and do not want to fly their puppy. We welcome anyone to visit our home and view the litters or the parents.  Please call for a time that is appropriate as I do have a life outside my dogs and sometimes that means I’ve not caught up with the dishes or the vacuum!  My dogs live in my home and not in a kennel so be prepared to see a few bits of dog hair and some paw prints on the floor in some areas.  Although my dogs have crates in my loungeroom, they spend much of their day with each other in the house or playing in the fully fenced yard.  I do not keep many dogs in my home as I strongly believe that they do not get the care and attention that this breed deserves.  You will never find more than 5 mature dogs in my home living at any point in time.  I segregate dogs only when the girls are in season to prevent any accidental matings.

Puppies are born under foot and are raised with sights and sounds that they will know to accept as everyday life.  They remain here until at LEAST 8 weeks and are micro chipped with international standard chips for their safety prior to leaving.  They are registered with the VCA (Victorian Canine Association) and each have purchase contracts designed to the specific requirements of the purchaser.  They are up to date on worming and vaccinations for their age prior to leaving.

I have flown dogs to Mexico, Spain, Europe and all parts of Canada and the USA without any issues in the past and as such can arrange transport interstate or internationally outside of Australia.  I arrange all the flights to ensure the best flights and times are available.  Flying dogs is NOT traumatic and I use only climate controlled aircraft and abide by their rules for safe transport which include not flying live cargo during excessive heat or cold periods in the year. As well, holiday’s usually mean live cargo embargo’s so no puppies or dogs leave here over the holiday season.  Depending on your location, I may be able to arrange ground transport, and of course you are always welcome to come here to pick up your new addition.  Prices of the puppies or dogs, include any veterinarian check ups or needles needed for their needs, and any transfers of registration needed.  Transportation costs can vary depending on method, time of year, location and size of dogs being sent. Please feel free to ask for a quote on these costs. 

Living now in the beautiful state of Victoria Australia, Angelsun German Pinschers continues to work towards the improvement of this breed.  Our future plans include the importation of frozen semen of the dogs we have bred that have proven themselves to be a large asset to this breed.  We will continue to provide top quality German Pinschers that are suitable for showing,  for trials or just for loving pets.  We stand by our history in this breed and the reputation that we have for producing some of the best GP’s in the world.  We are also fortunate to be in partnership with a number of people in North America that wish to continue to breed using the Angelsun Prefix and ALL litters that contain that prefix are approved by myself.  I do not permit the use of my prefix by ANYONE other than those that abide by my breeding ethics and practices.

Oval: YOU WANT AN ANGELSUN GERMAN PINSCHER? Purchasing ANY dog is a commitment for 10-15 years. It is important that you remain in close contact with me if you are waiting for a puppy. We do not always have them available nor will you be automatically on the top of the waiting list. It is common to have to wait a year to get either the colour or the gender you prefer. It is a good idea to not settle yourself into a colour/gender preference if you do not want to wait too long. Are you wanting the breed because it is black/red or because it is a male? I would hope you want it because it is a German Pinscher! Think you might get a deal if you want to buy two? Try somewhere else. I do not sell two puppies to anyone at the same time, nor will I sell you a puppy if you have another puppy from another breeder. Puppies need time and attention to grow into good members of society. The notion that one puppy needs the company of another puppy, is simply a lazy way to raise a dog. Think you can ‘make a deal’ and get a better price? That will only get your removed from my waiting list. I have ONE price. These puppies are not items at a garage sale to be dickered over. You want to breed? I am here to mentor and help, but I will not contribute to the overpopulation of dogs in today’s society. If you are not willing to put the time into a dog and attain a championship title, then you will not be breeding an ANGELSUN dog. ALL show/breeding dogs are co owned to ensure that the work that is done here, is not thrown away by someone that wants their kids to ‘experience’ puppies being born or simply to make a buck.

**WE DO NOT CROP OUR PET PUPPIES BORN IN NORTH AMERICA. SHOULD YOU WISH A PET TO BE CROPPED, I CAN FIND YOU A VET IN YOUR AREA TO DO IT.  SHOW POTENTIAL PUPPIES MAY BE LEFT UNCROPPED IF DESIRED.  TAILS ARE DOCKED IN NORTH AMERICA-- NO EXCEPTIONS.**

 

VICTORIA STATE DOG LEGISLATION PROHIBITS THE DOCKING OF TAILS IN THIS STATE SO ALL PUPPIES BORN IN THIS STATE WILL HAVE TAILS.

 

References from previous ANGELSUN buyers are always available.  You have as much right to check up on me as a breeder as I have to check up on you as a buyer.  If you don’t like what you see, walk away and I will do the same!

Remember, these are MY puppies and I don’t have to sell one to anyone I don’t think has the puppy’s best interest at heart.  As well, I don’t sugar coat anything about my dogs, or my ethics.  Again, if you can’t handle an honest and ‘straight from the shoulder’ approach, you probably might want to find someone else to buy a dog from.  I make no apologies for my strong beliefs in both my dogs and my methods which have been shown to produce good relationships with new owners for many many years.

As founding member and past President of the German Pinscher Club of Canada as well as a current member of the Victoria Canine Association, ANGELSUN is bound not only by the CKC code of ethics and bylaws but the GPCC/VCA rules and as such, we do not breed dilutes nor attempt to obtain dilutes through a breeding as they are contrary to the CKC standard for our breed which calls for ONLY black/tan or solid reds as acceptable.   

We refer to other GPCC breeders or breeders that hold similar ethics to breeding.  If you are looking to find ‘dirt’ on another breeder, don’t waste your time or mine.
