Information About Us
Where we are coming from...
John and Anita formed Masterkarn kennels in 1984 (Dobermanns) and in 1989 introduced our first German Pinscher which became our dominate breed.
John started obedience in 1975 with his German Shepherds he later became a trainer for DCSA in 1985 wih his first Dobermann. He was Head Trainer for the DCSA in 1986. Anita trained her first obedience Dobermann 1979 then commenced training obedience classes in 1986 with the DCSA. Both became all breeds trainers in 1987. Dog Sport also became a part of our lives along with the show ring in 1984 with our first show Dobermann. Anita and John were heavily involved in the Working Aptitude testing in the early days with the DCSA and many of our Dobermanns were highly successful in the Working dog field, actual security environment and with consistently major wins in the show ring, WAC and top place wins in obedience trials. We have bred German Pinschers that have gained high obedience and agility training.
Each of our dogs proved over and over again they were capable of performing in any or all of these fields.
We are the only breed founder of German Pinschers in Australia still breeding consistently. Masterkarn and CelticMist kennels amalgamated in 2008 combining John’s Belgian Shepherds and Anita’s German Pinschers (main interest) and Dobes (now minor) breed interests. Our experience give us the multi skilling to cope with three breeds and focus on each as needs be.
Our Breeding Practices
Breeding when we want something to show our selves not to sell show or pet puppies only.
Our kennels is continuing to promote the German Pinschers to all those who show an interest and to those who would potentially benefit the breed, we offer help to new show/breeders and companion dog owners. Masterkarn is promoting the betterment of the breed by testing/scoring for Hips, Elbows, Eyes and VWD in Australia and taking them everywhere we can exposing them to the general public as often as possible.
Our own highly successful training practices and temperament testing of our litters gave us an amazing insight into the world of temperament, obedience and breeding/showing we are very fortunate to have, that has become a very useful tool in our training and breeding program.
Our trade mark of "Excellence by Design" and "No Limitation" is because we believe our dogs are bred by planning (design) not pot luck, to work and function in any field the specific breed is suited to. With correct training and a good owner there is "No Limitation" to what they can do. They have the basics to build on through careful breeding and temperament, sound structure, correct type for function and good health!!!!
Campaigning our dogs
Due to our rotational rosters we also campaign our dogs far less than some but still come up trumps when it counts.
A thought to consider is...online competitions are not a true indicator of that breed or dogs competitive status. Nor are wins at obscure shows or judges that have a preference of that breed at them.
We have new babies commencing their show careers this year in most states major cities of Australia and owned by both experienced kennels and new breeders or handlers coming into the breed.
If you like our breed type and feel comfortable with us, please do not hestiate to call us!
We deem it unethical to talk about other breeders to sell pups or run their practices down.
If you come across such breeders our 25 years experience tells us- please do "BE - AWARE"
We "LOVE" to talk your ears off about our dogs!
Give us a call!!
