(Which translates to Strong Tower Kennel in German)
Here at Zwinger vom maechtigen Turm we would like to introduce you to our dogs and our breeding program. Priority is given to producing physically and mentally sound dogs as well as great family companions. My name is Chris Banke and along with my wife Missy we own and operate the kennel. I first started in AKC obedience in 1985 at the age of 15. I was then introduced to the sport of schutzhund in 1987. My wife Missy holds a bachelor's degree in Veterinary technology. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site!! We would also like to make a special note that we are the home of the well known V-Dino von der Maineiche schH3 kkl1-a life. In 2003 I scored a 98-97-98=293 with Dino in a USA sanctioned event. This was the second highest Schutzhund 3 in the US for 2003. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The WUSV breed standard best describes the impeccable temperaments of our dogs: "With an effervescent temperament, the dog must also be cooperative, adapting to every situation, and take to work willingly and joyfully. He must show courage and hardness, as the situation requires... But otherwise be a fully attentive, obedient, and pleasant household companion... all in all, he gives a harmonious picture of natural nobility and self confidence." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Take this trouble for me: Make sure my shepherd dog remains a working dog, for I have struggled all my life long for that aim" -Max von Stephanitz 1864-1936
