about our canadian friends...

Let´s introduce our Canadian friends. Donna owns the Von Emeritus Kennels and Sheila & Jane are responsable for Rivergreen Shepherds. You can learn more about Rivergreen on their fine website. And Donna, yes Donna owns a website too, but it still needs some work....

Sheila has always been the 'ground crew' and the half of the partnership interested in the German Shepherd dog. Her first dog came from Hannah and Fred Schmoecher (Smoky Mountain Kennels). It is amazing that the Wienerau and Romerau that appeared in that pedigree is still in the pedigrees of their puppies today.
Sheila is the driving force behind the Rivergreen Shepherd breeding program. Jane is the important support on the side-lines.

Jane

One of the first female members of the Canadian Jumping Team, Jane had an extremely successful riding career. She was a jumper rider in the '60's to the level of Olympic competition with the Canadian Team (Team members Jim Elder and Tom Gayford will attest to her competitive spirit.) Jane Holbrook has excelled in Hunter/Jumper riding and, in many cases, has been mounted on 'home-bred' animals.
In recent years, Jane has been involved in officiating for the Canadian Equestrian Federation in the capacity of Judge and Show Steward. She has acted in these capacities across Canada, in Bermuda and elsewhere.
Jane is the background support of the German Shepherd breeding program at Rivergreen.

Donna

Donna will provide us soon some information about her and her kennel.
