Über Uns – Our History

Our Legacy at Teufelsfelsen — Seit 1970

Zwinger vom Teufelsfelsen began in 1970 with Manfred Franck and a deep respect for the German Shepherd. Over five decades, our kennel has remained small, personal, and grounded in the same values: character, reliability, and a true connection between dog and family.

The name Teufelsfelsen – “Devil’s Rock” – reflects the rugged land and strong spirit of the dogs who inspired it. Many of our dogs have grown up on this ground, traveled to shows, and lived their entire lives with our family.

West German Shepherd Bloodlines • Seit 1970

Zwinger vom Teufelsfelsen

A family-run German Shepherd kennel preserving true West German bloodlines for more than fifty years.

Founded by Manfred Franck in 1970, Zwinger vom Teufelsfelsen stands for calm, steady temperament, correct structure, and the classic West German Shephered Bloodline. A legacy built in the ring and at home.

Ausstellungen & Mitgliedschaften

A Life in the Ring & the Club Community

Dog shows have been a central part of Manfred’s life with the German Shepherd. Over the years, Teufelsfelsen dogs have earned titles, ratings, and recognition for structure, presence, and temperament.

Beyond the results, showing has kept our kennel connected to the German Shepherd community – clubs, judges, and fellow breeders all working to maintain the standard of the breed.
