Welcome to my web page.

Beychief German Shepherds was established in 1972 by Christine and is located in the Southern Highlands of NSW.

"Father Of The Breed", Captain Max von Stephanitz dreamed of producing a versatile utility working dog. A harmonious dog of great nobility and work ethic to serve in many fields of endeavour. Beychief Kennels is dedicated to maintaining the working ability of this wonderful breed.

Beychief has excelled in producing good looking dogs with working titles.Please refer to Photo Album to see some of our obedience and dual purpose GSDs.

Beychief Kennels has been awarded the BRONZE MEDALLION BREEDER'S ACHIEVEMENT AWARD FOR THE HIP DYSPLASIA SCHEME by the GSDCA.

K9 MEMORIAL

Photo Christine Anderson and sculptor Peter Lewis with the clay statue almost ready for the mould to be created then caste in bronze. Model for the bronze was Jarinda Rustic Crusader AZ Tracking Dog, BSC1.

Wollondilly Shire Council moved a resolution to allow a K9 Memorial to be built in the Shire.

Peter Raksts Memorials donated the black granite and artwork for this Memorial which is to feature K9 Titan and K9 Carts, brothers who were killed in the line of duty. These K9s were also the first in NSW to be killed by offenders.

 The names of three other dogs who have been killed on duty, K9's Boss, Sam and Fidel will be included on the Memorial and any other NSW K9s killed in the line of duty in future.

Only the dogs working names will be engraved on the Memorial.

 We need donations towards bronze plaques, lighting etc to complete the work.

The K9 Memorial will be dedicated to all K9s serving in the front line in NSW Government Departments.

It will be located in Emmett Park, Tahmoor.

THEME - Black granite to represent mourning and the night hours when dogs and handlers face their greatest dangers.  The writing will be in silver to represent the stars of the heavens.  The bronze dog reclining represents "at peace" yet still alert, the guardian ever vigilant and waiting for his master.
