We became involved in showing German Shepherds after purchasing Edensmuir Tyson from Crawford and Helen Johnstone in 1987. Tyson gave us a lot of fun and introduced us to the Scottish show scene, and hence our decision to obtain a bitch with a view to breeding.
We purchased a bitch, Edensmuir Nyna, from the same kennel in 1988, and with the birth of our first litter in 1991 Drumwhannan German Shepherds was born. Drumwhannan is the name of the land on which our house is built, an old cottage in the village of Strathmiglo in the heart of Fife.

Our first litter to the excellent German import Exl von Batu was very successful for us giving us our first Champion, Drumwhannan Princess Dollar. 'Kara' obtained her CC's from Fiona Anderson, Percy Elliot and Andrew Winfrow.

Our next success was obtaining Amulree Lesko, who won at both Championship and Open shows (2 Res CC's), his main achievement however has been as a producer, giving us our first homebred male Champion Drumwhannan Zidan.

We were then fortunate to purchase Drumbiels Chadwick in 1997 as a 4 month old pup from Joan Dickie. 'Naz' proved to be an excellent show dog, and with 20 consecutive wins was unbeaten in his first two years of showing. Ch Drumbiels Chadwick at Drumwhannan gained his CC's from Sheila Hendrie, Victor Mcguigan, David Bowen and Bo Nyman, and also received eight reserve CC's. Tragically, at the young age of four, we lost 'Naz' to cancer. He was a true gentleman and wonderful ambassador for the breed, and leaves a very big hole in our hearts.

In 1998 we obtained four quarantine born bitches from the Amulree kennels, by then established in Belgium.
Amulree Salome : Sammo vom Fiemereck / Amulree Triptych
Amulree Celina : Zello von der Steinhagerquelle / Amulree Tvaeraa Kleopatra
Amulree Kahla : Ch Uri vom Amulree / Amulree Triptych
These three bitches formed the basis of our breeding programme for the start of the new Millenium. Mia (Amulree Salome) has provided us with much success over the last 7 years, producing Zidan, our first homebred male Champion and Kora, currently 2 CC's.

In 2003 we obtained another two excellent females from the Amulree kennel:-
Chica vom Amulree : Fritz vom Farbenspiel / Vixy vom Amulree
Carol vom Amulree : Zorro vom Amulree / Yana vom Amulree

Chica has given us a lot of pleasure in the ring with her dynamic performance and continues to fulfill her maternal duties.

In 2004 we obtained Charly van't Katrienahof, again from Amulree, Belgium. Charly impresses us with her wonderful character and has made us tremendously proud by winning top GSD in the UK for 2006.

Chica, Kora, Charly and Drumwhannan Marina will hopefully carry on our success for the future.
