Chris Wild
Chris grew up with German Shepherds and became seriously involved in Schutzhund in 1997. She has put SchH titles on 4 dogs raised and trained from puppies, and is currently working 2 young females: Caliber v Wildhaus SchH1 and Denali v Wildhaus. She loves SchH especially for the bond it builds between dog and handler, and enjoys introducing others to the world of schutzhund and working dogs. As a breeder of working line German Shepherd Dogs under the name Wildhaus Kennels, she and her husband, Tim, also highly value schutzhund as a breed test for working temperament.
Tim Wild
Tim began his Schutzhund career in 1997 initially to support his wife in her new passion, but soon found himself addicted. He is currently working his third schutzhund dog, Beowulf v Wildhaus BH, toward his titles. Tim especially enjoys helperwork; watching young dogs develop their physical and mental skills in protection work, and helping handlers achieve their goals. He has enjoyed working many dogs of various breeds, from the club level up to international competitors, as well as several police K9s. His hard work and dedication to developing excellent skills as a training and trial helper has been an integral part of several dog/handler teams obtaining their SchH titles.
Dianna Heverly
Dianna is a certified dog fanatic. She has spent years training dogs, as well as working in boarding/training/grooming facilities and veterinary clinics. She discovered Schutzhund in 2002 and has since taken her first dog, Argo v Wildhaus, from puppyhood to SchH3. She continues to work Argo toward more SchH3s and is also making wonderful progress with her young female, Eris v Wildhaus. While an excellent trainer and handler in general, Dianna has a special knack for working puppies and developing young dogs in obedience and tracking, and as such she is Liberty's unofficial "puppy training coach".
Jerald Darow
Jerry originally got involved in SchH partly in order to find a job for his young male GSD, Duke v Loganberg, and partly out of a lifelong interest in working dog training. Jerry and Duke are making exceptional progress in all phases and are well on their way to a long and successful career on the SchH field. Jerry is also eagerly serving the club by learning to become a helper.
Lisa Hammond
Lisa became interested in Schutzhund in 2005 as a fun activity in which to participate with her young female German Shepherd, Cinder v Wildhaus. Lisa and Cinder were making fantastic progress in all phases until Cinder was killed in a tragic accident. Lisa loves training and spending time with her dogs and friends at the SchH club so she has continued to participate and develop her training and handling skills. She has trained her Akita/GSD mix, Onyx, to a BH and trained and handled her retired SchH1 dog, Ira v Argatos, to a TR2. Lisa looks forward to jumping back into SchH fully with a new GSD puppy in the near future.
George Aradan
After many years spent breeding and competing with conformation show bloodline Golden Retrievers, George decided to try something completely different and in 2007 he made the leap into working bloodline German Shepherds. Impressed with the work ethic and strength of character displayed by his young male, Dieter v Landschaft, George and Dieter decided to try their hand at Schutzhund training and they are making great strides toward future titles.
Christina Otello
A long time German Shepherd owner, Christina got her first working bloodline GSD, Ember v Wildhaus "The Phantom", in 2006. In addition to companion and hiking partner, Christina knew she wanted to participate in some formal training activities with Phantom, but she wasn't sure what. After some deliberation, she decided to give Schutzhund a try. Christina and Phantom are having a wonderful time, building a great bond, and making excellent progress toward their SchH titles.
Dan Oas
Dan has hosted a big dog for over 30 years. His latest German Shepherd, Hugo, finds Dan with enough time to get involved in schutzhund and work toward getting titles. New to schutzhund,
but no stranger to dogs, Dan and Hugo are simply enjoying the opportunity to have fun and be among others so inclined.
