Although we began raising companion GSD's in 1994 under the kennel name Jimmel, in 1996 our renewed goal was to produce top show quality dogs and Melana's Obsession v Clihu HIC ROM OFA became the foundation bitch for Melana Shepherds. Most of the dogs shown here go back to her (with the exception of the GV X-tra X-tra co-breeding with Reinehaus). "Eden" produced top quality bred to 3 stud dogs standing in 3 different regions of the country, including 3 progeny who were competitve on a National level with GSDCA National placings and/or Futurity/Maturity placements in several different regions. She has 4 Champions to her credit and as you can see her progeny are also producing top quality progeny of their own bred with a variey of different bloodlines. We are proud of the accomplishments Melana Shepherds has acheived in a relatively short amount of time with limited breeding & exhibiting, and we are grateful to those reputable breeders/exhibitors who appreciated their quality by adding them to their own breeding program. Eventually, we plan to linebreed upon some of the animals produced from our own breedings to set our type and style using great care to sustain our good temperaments and health.
