From my childhood I have always been fond of nature & animals. In my school days, my grandmother presented me with a Doberman male named Rio Ravi. He was a constant companion & a pleasure to be with. With Rio Ravi, my love & appreciation for dogs started. In the year 1979, I was again introduced to the beautiful world of dogs by a friend, then Alban, the Doberman pincher from Germany, came in to my life. Then came German Shepherd Ago vom Kirchental from Germany, who won lot of appreciation & did lot of show winning in India & became the reserve dog of the year…… Through Ago I got hooked to the German shepherd for their Beauty , elegance, intelligence & working abillty . They are real royal dogs a combination of beauty with brains. I met a good friend in Germany Mr. Herbert Schwindt of Blue Iris Kennel . Then my interest developed for breeding quality shepherds in my country, where the shepherd quality was not that good at that point of time.
   
Lot of good females came to my kennel, viz. Doma Blue Iris, Avlona Blue Iris, Fia Blue Iris, India Blue Iris, Kayra Blue Irish. In the meantime, I met and interacted with lot of judges and friends from Germany.

Then came Hero vom Haus Mohn from Jochen Janz (I never knew we would be so close friends and today, my younger brother), who was absolutely a beautiful specimen in confirmation and quality and won the coveted title of Dog of the Year in the year 1994-95. By; this time, I had got quite a few dogs in the house. My father suggested that I should have a farm, where I could take care of them better and so I bought one and built a beautiful kennel. Jochen presented me a dog, Joschy Turntal, bred by Rolf Kaufmann (another person, whom I very close with) – the day a thin and normal looking German Shepherd puppy of 11 months landed in India, nobody knew that he is going to become a great champion, his father was the great producer Hanno von der Weneurau and the mother was Zamb weinerau daughter.

  
 
   
  
He was a beautiful mover and created a lot of interest among the people. Then came Uro vom Hambachtal, the son of German Sieger Visum von Arminius. His mother was Zamb wenerau’s daughter, who became champion and won the youth class in Kolkata National show. Uro gave strength of bone, correct medium size and spirit. My breeding programme got into leaps and bounds, when the great producers Enco came to my kennel and we produced great dogs and bitches with examplary croupe length and correct type for me and created the foundation for my next generation breeding.
 
   
Then came the great ambassador of the breed Dasty von der Wenerau from the great kennel bred by the greatest man ever the GSD world has seen – Mr. Walter Martin. Dasty was inbred to the all time great producers viz. Jeck von Noricum and Zamb von der Wenerau. His mother is direct daughter of Vanta von der Weneurau. Dasty is now nine years old, but still loved by everybody in this country, for his fluid movement and unbundled spirit. Dasty produced top quality bitches, with super anatomy and movement, carrying forward the Wenerau type. Then came the supreme anatomically constructed Uras von Blue Rose. Great son of Sieger Ursus von Batu and Zade von Blue Rose – VA. Uras was inbred to the famous Q litter and was having alternate bloodline of Mark vom Hausbeck. Uras brought in the correct size, pigmentation, expression and the front angles.
  
 
    
Now, when I look back, it gives me immense pleasure, from a humble start. Now, most of German Shepherd bloodlines in India carry my Kennel lines i.e. Dogmatix.
I am also very much grateful to my friend and elder brother Mr. A. I. S. Bhinder, for his unconditional support and cooperation, with whom I co-owned the Kennel – Sanspri. Under this prefix, we have bred some great German Shepherds.
  
 
   
 
I am also thankful to Mr. Jochen Janz and others, who helped me time and again in keeping my spirits high in my passion of breeding quality German Shepherd in India. I am thankful to God and my family and my friends from India Germany and other countries for achieving and realizing my passion and love for German Shepherds. Hope, this website will give some insight into lovely German Shepherds and moments of emotions and happenings.
