COPYRIGHT QUALCROFT GSD’S ALL RIGHTS RESERVED   Belissa enjoying the water This is Axel visiting Newlands   House, Netherseale, Derbyshire ( cheshire home) he is pictured sporting his bandana Steve and Glenys Qualter WITH YANA AND BELLISA Our first German shepherd came to us in 1974, her name was Katie and from there on in we fell in love with the breed. In 1997 Kayard Eike ‘’Otto’’ came to us and along with Otto came our first introduction to working obedience. In 1997 Kolinga Venus also joined us, she was to be our first show dog, we were truly hooked. After being granted our Affix Qualcroft by the UK Kennel Club in August 1999 we purchased Astana Seffe from the Astana kennels. In 2003 Astana Yana arrived in our kennels. These two females became the foundation for Qualcroft, their strength and characters have been passed on to their offspring whom have been successful in show and working homes, but more importantly as much adored family pets. At Qualcroft we participate in many aspects of the German shepherd, we have been actively involved in two Gsd training clubs, Leicester and Nottingham training and assisting for both the obedience and the show ring. We have also scribed and stewarded for both. Glenys has been active for many years handling for the show ring and handling for other kennels at open and championship shows with much success. Glenys has recently taken her first judging appointment at Retford Gsd show.
