I have dealt with animals as long as I can remember. I bought my first animal, which was a female rabit, in 1954, only because I hadn`t had enough money to buy a dog. My first German shepherd named Sharek was bred in 1976. In 1990, I and Darja moved into our new house, where we built dog kennels and settled our first dogs. Our first hatch was bred in 1992. When we were considering about a name for our kennel, we both agreed it should be connected with the beautiful land where we live- Kras. The other part of the name represents a subteranean river Timav, which is the only one that crosses this land. So, when we combine these two remarkablenesses, we get »Karstimav«. Since then, we have bred some German shepherds, that strongly represent us at home and abroad.
