Our Story
After successfully working with my German Shepherd Dogs in Schutzhund since 1978, I was looking for a small working dog. Brigitte Walkey from British Columbia, Canada, gave me Springwood's Willi Cinna, a son of her Ozbree Penelope Spring Wire and Jolanta Jeanneney's Billy vom Moosbach-Zuzelek. Willi was successful in tracking, earthdog and Dachshund field trials and became the founding father of Ahornzwinger, together with our German addition Koko von der unteren Harzstrasse FCI, bred in Germany by Ingrid Renneberg. Health & workability are the foundation of our breeding. We holistically choose our breeding dog's by evaluating health, workability and temperament. While healthy genetics are important, an entire past ancestral lineage has little to do with one individual dog's health, as many other factors come into play.
Overworking, underfeeding, and overmedicating are common problems working dogs face today. We have currently paused our breeding to evaluate placement suitability in Canada, where small working dogs are highly underestimated.
