About Us At CARAKRIS

Carakris Kennels  
 

Carakris is a small kennel residing in the south of England. Our home is set within 10 acres of land where our dogs can run free. They also swim in our hydra pool for exercise and for fun.

I first became involved in German Shepherds when some friends gave my son a beautiful puppy called Cleo. We decided to create our own affix from both our Christian names and Cleo became our first CARAKRIS.

We took her along to the Leighton Buzzard and District ring craft club for some social training and it was here that I met my close friends Chris Smallwood and Julie Hartley. Together Chris and I purchased two females called BEDWINS ZOLA and BEDWINS IFFI.

These females were the foundation of our very successful partnership under my affix CARAKRIS.  Zola and Iffi produced many Championship winners, C.C.'s and Best Of Breed and their progeny, CARAKRIS DIXIE and CARAKRIS KAS followed in their footsteps

CARAKRIS continually learns through our aim of maintaining quality. We look for the very best lines both in the U.K. and Europe. All our dogs are hip scored, elbow screened, tattoed and our males haemophilia tested.

We firmly believe in quality not quantity and all our dogs are our best friends and very much loved win or lose.

We train our dogs at Leicester GSD Club.
