Cassy Nowak

Age: 24

Why we chose this handler:

Cassy came to us with the wish to handle a dog, since she wasn't allowed to have one on her own and as a student she also don't has the money for the vet and anything else. After a long walk with Athena, that we observed very curious, we decided that both fit together perfectly and so we allowed her to have a trial week with her. She did well with the training and we decided that she should stay together with her as her compagnion.

Marla Bricks

Handling: Aeterna's Tatjana von Schutz

Age: 26

Why we chose this handler:

Marla already owned 2 German Shepherd dogs when she was younger and still married. After the divorce her husband took both dogs, what was a giant dilemma for her. After one year without a dog, she decided to contact us and ask us for a German Shepherd dog that she could handle for us and spend some time with. We introduced her to Tatjana and both came along very well. Marla showed us her knowledge in Schutzhund, Weight Pull, Obedience and Protection and we were totally blown away. So she and Tatjana now work very hard every day and get better and better.

Stephan Bricks

Handling: Ritter's Walkin' On Sunshine

Age: 29

Why we chose this handler:

Stephan came to us together with Martin, his brother, and Marla, his younger sister. He first just wanted to come with Marla to grab her under her arms and help her with the decision but at the first walk with Rosco, Tatjana and Dux, he fell in love with Rosco. He had a lot of time left through his job and decided to handle our Brittany. He also has a little knowledge with hunting and so he fitted perfect for this breed. Plus he and his siblings come along very well, what helps us with training Flyball and other team sport activities.

Elisabeth Kaiser

Handling: Lionlyx Kennel's Blackout Caroline

Age: 29

Why we chose this handler:

Elisabeth already dressed a little more diffrent when she came to us to handle a dog. We were really interested why someone like her would like to handle a dog from us and she told us, that she always wanted to have a little dog but were never allowed to. She wanted to be herself but all other kennels weren't interested in her, but we gave her a chance and she had some hours to train Caroline to catch the disc, since she's supposed to be a sporting dog. She did great and it just took her about ten minutes to teach her. We were really impressed and let ehr stay a month for trial, and she did conviced us to stay.

Vivianne Henson

Handling: Pixietails Masala Chai

Age: 22

Why we chose this handler:

When we got the message from Pixietails, that we would receive a puppy from them, we needed a new handler very fast. A little audition was necessary for us and Vivianne caught our attention by handling puppies and adults almost perfectly. We decided to let her spend some time with Masala and they really fell in love. Now they are unseperable and spend every minute together. She told us, that the English Cocker Spaniel is her favorite breed so she was even more excited that we chose her as Masalas personal handler. We are very happy with our choice.
