The German Shepherds

Ben & Ollie
A Lifetime's Love

The first boy was a lifetime dream. Ben — the runt of the litter, chosen on the very first visit — became one of the great loves of Lynnette's life. These are the photographs of where he came from, and the family he brought with him.

Early Days

The First Visit · Picking Ben

Saying goodbye on the first visit — two puppies behind the fence, ears pricked, watching. Then the moment that changed everything: picking Ben, the runt of the litter. "He was my boy." And the family fight picking on my boy xxx. A lifetime dream, right there behind that wire fence.

The German Shepherd Years

Mum, Father & the Farm

On the Yamaha quad bike with hay bales — throwing feed to the black cattle in the paddock. The litter in the kennel yard, puppies tumbling over each other in the straw. Mother and father running together through autumn leaves. And the last photo: the father — a magnificent German Shepherd in full stride, tongue out, coat gleaming. This was the world Ben came from.
