January 2020 started off with heartbreak. My soul dog, my heart's friend, the dog that taught me so much, my introduction to the dog world. My first own show dog, my first BH, the dog that I shared so many first memories with.
Castle left an empty space in this little kennel. He's sorely missed.
Castle only ever produced one litter, the G litter la Clarochel.
Run free special man!
I miss you, every day!

Our hearts are shattered.
Bolt was one of our very first German Shepherd Dogs. A legend, in every sense of the word. Bolt always held a special place in our hearts, with a temperament that many can only wish for. Bolt loved the bitework field to bits, with maybe the only thing he loved more being snuggling up to John at night.
Rest easy pretty boy, we will miss you forever.

Life is not always fair. And sometimes it's especially unfair...
The unexpected, sudden and hopeless death brought by Red gut, something breeders pray to never go through, and something we had to face very suddenly in 2020.
A lion, a legend, a dog very near to my heart, a dog that could never be missed, and will now forever be missed, was taken from me by this dreaded disease.
Fly free my Ollie-Bollie, and bark at everyone on the way!
19 March 2017 - 26 April 2023
My big boy with the small little lion heart. My special, my pretty, my grumpy boy. Words cannot describe how much I miss you already. Life is just not fair. We were not ready to say goodbye. Not now. Not today. Not like this.
My Hugo boy.
Now there is no more pain.
I am going to miss your deep growls when we cuddle, and your bark every time I walk in.
Say Hi to Castle and Ollie and Alexa and Lee.
21 March 2017 - 22 July 2021
Saying goodbye is always hard, but this one seemed especially hard.
Our first baby girl, our sweetest Lexi, our intro to the dog show world. We will cherish many sweet moments from the special 4 years we had with you. They went by way too soon. Cancer stole you from us, and the shock of it all was hardly bearable.
V(NBS) Alexa la Clarochel A+ AD BH Breed Survey. Mother of our I, J, and K litters. Very first puppy born at Clarochel. A legend never to be forgotten.
Fly free my angel girl. May your legend live on forever in your beautiful puppies.
May 2018 - July 2021
Not long after Alexa's passing, we were shocked and gutter to the core by the passing of this sweet little girl. Lee was born under harsh conditions, the only puppy to survive a way too early whelping, and, having been tube fed and hand reared by a wonderful team, eventually stabilized and started growing. Sadly nature always was against Lee, and her health never was 100%. Regardless, Lee lived life to it's fullest.
Lee was a feisty, solid, loving character, and her noisy bark will be sorely missed, by myself, and her handler alike. Lee made the excellent dog for beginner obedience trainers, and taught us a lot.
Kidney failure won the fight.
Another girl gained her angel wings. Fly free girl.
