"Marinita" originated back in 1988 when I worked for a permit holder racing Point to Point and Hunter Chase Racehorses. I trained and schooled the horses until they were fit enough to race. One of our best horses was "Mariner's Lad" who won both over hurdles and fences. I myself competed on the track until a bad fall in 1990. I continued work riding and training until 1992 when the trainer gave up his permit and that is when I decided to turn my attentions to my other great love - German Shepherd Dogs.

1992 was the year that the "Marinita" affix in the UK was born. Partly from my name "Anita" and part from my beloved horse's name "Mariner" who unfortunately died from Torsion in 1993 - his memory lives on to this day.

Since then we have gone from strength to strength with our bloodlines and show ring success. We aim to breed and rear Quality German Shepherd Puppies according to the Kennel Club Breed Standards We are a small kennel who breeds two and occasionally three special litters each year. Each litter we breed is very carefully planned with the thought of soundness, temperament and construction. All our puppies are registered with the UK Kennel Club.

We are members of The British German Shepherd Dog League and over the years have gained enough knowledge of this very special breed to be registered on Judging Lists throughout the UK People who come to us for a puppy have more often than not been "recommended" by a very satisfied owner, even our own Veterinarian has recommended potential owners to us as they have known our dogs since we purchased our first shepherd. All our family, that is myself, my husband and our four children, take a part in the careful rearing of our puppies.
