Welcome to NikobisHunde GSDs
Nikobishunde (pronounced nic-oh-biz hunda - click to hear) is a small kennel owned by Nev and Miriam Kirkham, breeding for temperament and type, on the outskirts of South-West Sydney, Australia. Our kennel name is a combination of our foundation bitch's name (Nikita), a very lovely boy we had owned (Kobi) and the the German name for dogs (Hunde). All our dogs are considered part of the family. At Nikobishunde there are no kennels, just temporary penned area for puppies to play safely without being knocked over by over enthusiastic "bigger puppies".
Dog breeds are "grouped" into various breed types and here in Australia, the GSD is in the Working Dog group. We do show our dogs in "Specialty" and "All Breeds" conformation shows but also see the dogs happiest when their working and having to utilise their intelligence. Being a very intelligent breed, they can get bored and this is where many owners run into issues. To keep our dogs active and interest up, they all attend show training, obedience training, sheep herding training, trips the the beach and pool and so on. After all, they are a working dog and not one for your lap (though they sometimes think other wise). They are especially not for leaving in the back yard.
We are members of:
Dogs NSW - affiliated with Australian National Kennel Council
GSD League of New South Wales - Affiliated with GSD Council of Australia
Newcastle & Hunter Region German Sherpherd Dog Club - Affiliated with GSD Council of Australia
Our kennel is registered as German Shepherd Dog breeders with the Australian National Kennel Council through Dogs NSW membership number 2100063720. Our NSW State Government Breeder Registered number is B000723146
We hope you find this web site of interest and are happy to answer any questions you may have.
