Elbasco Kennels is a small Australian kennel which has owned and/or produced top quality German Shepherd Dogs for 36 years (since 1972).   Elbasco Kennels was registered in 1975 and has bred dogs which have gone on to achieve Excellent gradings, Breed Survey Class I, Australian Championships, Obedience titles, Best in Show winners and has owned and/or bred a number of class winners at Nationals.  We are the recipients of the German Shepherd Dog Council of Australia's Bronze Medal for hip soundness despite having only a low number of litters since 1991.

Elbasco Kennels was the home of the legendary Australian Champion Karlrach Kentucky Lad, Triple National Medal Winner and top sire during the 80s (who can still be traced in many of the top winning Australian German Shepherd Dog's pedigrees today) (see About Kentucky Lad page. This page has been set up as an historical record of interest).

We are primarily concerned about the welfare of the German Shepherd Dog not only from a breeding perspective but also about the welfare of individual German Shepherd Dogs. We have been members of the German Shepherd Dog League for 34 years, we were amongst the first kennels in NSW to use the German Shepherd Dog League's Tattoo Scheme, we x-ray our dogs and all our breeding stock have excellent hip and elbow scores (check out the scores on Our Girls page).   We also have a prime concern about breeding the best German Shepherd temperaments possible.

We had a break from breeding and showing during the 90's but 2002 saw us back on the show scene with our show dogs/pets, Karlrach Whoopee Doo AZ, her daughters - Aust Ch. Elbasco Harlequin AZ BSCL1 Excellent Graded and Elbasco Harmony AZ;   and the rest of our team - Aust Ch. Drepesh Lime N Tango AZ BSCL1;   Elbasco Urbana Rose AZ BSCL1, Rufstone Black Pearl AZ BSCL1,  Elbasco Lime Light AZ, and Rufstone Ruby Jane AZ(see Our Girls page).

German Shepherd puppies are occasionally available to good homes.
