We are very proud of what we do here at Aus Gerstbrei, working and titling our own dogs. Training your own dog for trials takes years of hard work. We like to prove our dogs worthiness by training them ourselves and this way we know the dogs from inside out while proving their temperament and character. We know their strengths and weaknesses in every aspect to choose appropriate mating partners for them to constantly improve our bloodlines. Although not every single one of our dogs is finished ourselves, here are the stories of the dogs we did!
