Mr. GSD- Fred Lanting shares his knowledge

Time flies when you're writing books about the German Shepherd Dog. And no one person knows this better than Mr. GSD- Fred Lanting. Check out his books and his articles




Fred once raced me up a flight of stairs in the tower of one of our local wildlife atttractions, when he judged our Sieger show in Trinidad. Hopefully we can have him back here, for a re-match, I think he caught me off guard! But he did offer to help me with my book and also at the Seiger show in Nuernburg in September 2010.

He also offers a great tour for visitors to the Sieger Show every year. If you're looking for a great dog-related experience combined with seeing a different part of the world, the annual Lanting guided show-and-sightseeingcould be the experience of a lifetime

A different point of view - Dr. Helmut Raiser Speeks!


Unless you've been living under a rock for the last 20 years, you would probably have heard the name Dr. Helmut Raiser. A legendary Trainer and analyst of the Schutzhund Sport, author of Der Schutzhund and founder of the RSV 2000
Dr. Raiser hasbeen in the German Nationals 18 times with the following dogs:
Mara vom Busecker Schloss - 1978
Vargo vom Seebachtal - 1979 Sieger
Sagus vom Busecker Schloss - 1980
Drechsler vom Warnautal - 1981, 1982 Sieger, 1983, 84, 85, 86
Anker von Ursania - 1990 and 93
Asso vom Zypressenhain - 1995
Raiser von Ankeruett - 1999 and 2000
Falco vom Gueldenen Winkel - 2001and 2002


Dr.Raiser has also been the source of much controversy with his radical thinking and concepts and has garnered huge support from all over the world. His outstanding career and visionary ideals made his interview a must have. I am glad he joined my project.

T&T News Article


Although it is an older article, many of my international friends were asking about more information on the sport in Trinidad. So I thought I would post this for them. Here is a little more insight as to the local scene before we went to the competition. Click Here to read more.
Oh, news travels fast, and a couple persons have asked me to add them or their choices to the list of Interviewees, and I am forced to do another research trip to Germany, early next year to finish these interviews. So let me know if you or someone you know can be added to my next list of Interviews for the final collection of GSD Personalities.
