Ravi del Lupo Nero (Germany) x Ysis vom Rosseleck (Import Germany)
*Puppies born: 28th March 2019* Contact: edmond@castlehill-kennels.com
100% German Line German Shepherd Dogs
Our female’s accomplishments: – UK National Champion (2015) FCI IPO GSDL – Team GB Competitor (2 x World Championships, WUSV and FCI) – BSP German National Competitor (Qualified 2 x 2016 & 2017) – UK National Competitor (x 3) – FH2 Tracking Trial (100 points) – Highest trial score: 96-99-94
A very exciting pairing with our female Ysis. Ysis is arguably one of the most qualified female German Shepherds in the UK. Having raised her from a puppy and competed in both England and Germany, (qualified 2 x BSP German Nationals) and internationally (2 x World Championships for Great Britain).
Excellent health (British Veterinary Association) and vibrant and healthy at the age of 6+ years. She has already had a litter in Germany where all puppies have been x-rayed with perfect health. Most of all, she is part of our family and living as a wonderful pet enjoying her time on walks.
Ravi del Lupo Nero is a young dog, just 3 years old and soon to be (I’m sure) one of the top competing dogs in Germany. From owners and breeders that are extremely experienced and accomplished – it would be too long to list all their achievements here. The owner of Ravi is a top competing trainer, having previously qualified for Team Germany for WUSV 2015.
Ravi is from terrific family lines, and having seen Ravi’s grandmother (Nell) – knowing the mother line is strong and healthy working lines from both sides, puts a lot of faith in this breeding. There is no line-breeding in 5 generations. 5-6 line bred to Yoschy von der Döllenwiese
Ysis is of wonderful social and friendly temperament, and at the same time excellent natural guard instincts. These puppies will be suitable for any purpose, and we will look for, beyond everything else, loving homes.

WUSV Universal Sieger 2019 World Championships (Nantwich, England)
1st place (female) in IGP (94-87-90) and 4th overall (including show). We are extremely proud to have represented GB for our first World Universal Sieger Championships. Yuna as always performed brilliantly and did us proud.
Tracking: Yuna indicated all 3 articles, slightly slow on the first. Circled a little on the 2nd corner. Remaining tracks excellent.
Obedience: missed the sit… and slipped on the a-frame on the way out. 2nd command and she retrieved amazingly, but a big point deduction. The rest was relatively in order!!
Protection: she was a little too excited, and showed her inexperience (2nd IGP3 ever, and 2nd big competition too!) unfortunately missing blind 4. The back transport needed a little tidying up 🙂
All in all, it was a fantastic experience.
