Barbados is a 2nd home to our family and dogs now, so it is equally pleasing to see our dogs achieve all the top merits they deserve in these other countries. Barbados is a country definitely on the rise now for German Shepherds, the entries are getting bigger and so too is the competition which can only be a good thing.  They have some top bloodlines imported from Europe and many more over the next few years will come to improve the breed further!

Great credit must go to the 'New Generation' of forward thinking breeders and exhibitors in Barbados, Mark Worrel, Cornelius Chalres, Juniour, Dennis Manning and Suzanne Nieves, these are the guys who are bringing the breed to a level never seen since the days of our old friend Mary Martin some 12 years or so ago. Mary brought many top imports, some from Germany such as Ghandi v Arminius, a World Famous dog from his era.  Also Mary enjoyed a good relationship with Glynis Appleby (Copybush) in breeding German Based dogs. Mary was also the one who brought me many times to Barbados over the years for which I will always be very thankful.

Below are pictures of winners from the show.
