About Kempkes Executive K9s, a division Wüstenberger-Land German Shepherds
Michael Kempkes
My name is Michael Kempkes, I was born in the town of Borken, Germany. At the age of nine, I started what would become my life-long passion for training, titling, and showing of the German shepherd dog.
The German government has employed me to train their dogs for guard, bomb detection, and search and rescue. I earned my degrees and certifications from a special government K9 training school in Koblenz, Germany.
I have extensive knowledge of the temperaments, training, and showing of the German shepherd dog. I have titled hundreds of dogs to the hardest Schutzhund 3 level title obtainable. And taken them to VA levels in show internationally. I have helped many fellow breeders, both in show and work, and assisted in importing some of the finest show/work stock here into the USA and other parts of the world today.
Personal Life and Kennel Establishment
I met my wife, Jeannette in Dallas, Texas at a German Shepherd Sieger show (where else)! We moved to Southern California from Germany ten years ago. “Wüstenberger-Land” is our new kennel name for the USA, the German word for “Desert Mountain Land.” As you will see, we live up a mountain in the desert in beautiful Agua Dulce, California. We have a five-acre parcel far away from the busy city. This made the perfect place to train and raise some of the world’s finest German VA bloodline shepherds being breed today.
Our Services
At Wüstenberger-Land, we breed and train German shepherds, professionally train German shepherds, and offer Schutzhund-titled personal protection dogs for sale. We have been serving California residents for over 30 years. All Wüstenberger-Land German shepherd breeding stock is super healthy, with sound hips and elbows. We breed our German shepherds to the highest standards. We are not a dog/puppy broker. We are voted one of the top breeders in the USA for German bloodline German shepherds! We also travel to Germany to show and trial our shepherds, and many of our dogs have taken first in show/work in Germany, Europe, Asia, and the United States. This of course is documented for all to view.
We have recognized our goal of internationally breeding the finest German shepherds available, with outstanding temperaments and structure, suitable for work and show, and of course making the “world’s finest” companions. You are invited to visit or just drop us an email. We will be glad to answer any questions you may have about the German shepherd breed.
Jeannette Kempkes
My name is Jeannette Kempkes, and in 1992, I imported my first German shepherd, a male, show line, Schutzhund-titled, IPO3, and FH-titled dog. He was a top son of the famous Enzo von der Burg Aliso, out of the great Quantum von Arminius lines. At this time, I was one of only a few people to bring German-bloodline German shepherds into the United States.
I was so impressed with his beauty and work ethic that I joined a Schutzhund club to learn more about the formal training, titling, and showing for the German-bloodline German shepherds.
I decided to start breeding German shepherds and had my first German shepherd litter in 1993. I became successful after purchasing a female German shepherd named Jenny vom Laacher Haus, Schutzhund 2 kkl1, a top daughter of the famous Eros von der Luisenstraße.
Little did I know then, Jenny would become one of the top producing German shepherds ever. I bred Jenny to the German world young dog sieger, Xandro vom Danischen Hof, Schutzhund 3 kkl1.
While Jenny was just a couple of weeks pregnant, we competed in the GSDCA-WDA first universal Sieger show, and Jenny made VA1 universal Siegerin.
Jenny had a litter of 11 German shepherd puppies. The “A” litter von Bradbury, my first kennel name, produced the U.S. and European champion VA1 Anika von Bradbury, Schutzhund 2 kkl1.
Jenny also produced the famous “O” litter vom Laacher Haus for us. Oliver vom Laacher Haus made young dog German World sieger, VA Himmel vom Wüstenberger-Land. Jenny’s last litter for us produced the famous multiple VA, and German World Sieger show SG19, Jazmin vom Wüstenberger-Land, Schutzund 3 kkl1.
In 1998, I was introduced to Michael Kempkes. Michael is recognized as one of the world’s top German shepherd trainers and handlers and was recently honored by the German SV for his training accomplishments.
Michael would come into the U.S.A. to help Americans interested in German bloodline shepherds. He assisted many German shepherd breeders with professional Schutzhund titling and showing of their German shepherds. Michael is responsible for many of the Schutzhund titles and VA placings on a large percentage of the German shepherds that are in the U.S.A. today.
In 1999, I moved to Cologne, Germany to train and show my German shepherds; during that time I fell in love with Michael. He moved with me to California in 2001. We started a new German shepherd breeding and training facility in Los Angeles, California, and named it Wüstenberger-Land German Shepherds (meaning Desert-mountain-Land German shepherds). We now have been serving California residents for over 30 years and that is a huge accomplishment. Our experience speaks for itself.
