I started in German Shepherd dogs when I met up with Bettie Levenderis, who in turn introduced me to Gordon Griesron. Gordon brought back our first GSD Bitch from South Africa in April 1976.
I was in the Committee and was also Chairman of the Working Trials of Zimbabwe for some years around 1985 . I have been Secretary for the GSD League as well as Secretary for the Working Trails for another 5 and a half years from 1999. I gave Obedience Training Classes on Sundays at the Kennel club of Harare and now give private domestic lessons at home. In addition I go regularly to South Africa to attend to Schutzhund training seminars with Joanna Fleming -Plumb and other helpers.
