To the IGP Community of South Australia and Beyond!

This is it! The moment we’ve all been working towards—the very first South Australian IGP State Championship 2026 is officially here!

We begin our journey with an incredible stroke of fortune. Setting the standard for our inaugural championship, we have secured one of the most sought-after and respected judges in the world: Mr. David Garcia Suarez of Spain.

When we talk about world-class, we are talking about David. A judge of FMBB World Championships, multiple Spanish National Championships, and a pivotal figure in shaping IGP education in Europe. He doesn’t just judge the rulebook; he reads the heart and mind of the team in the ring. To have our performances, our partnerships, and our sport’s future in this state evaluated by such an authority is an unprecedented opportunity.

So, let’s show him what South Australian grit and excellence is all about. Handlers, prepare your dogs. Helpers, ready yourselves. The spotlight is on you. Let’s make history!

Brooksvale Working Dogs: Small Kennel with breed versatile quality, not quantity

Tucked away on South Australia’s stunning Fleurieu Peninsula is a hidden gem that serious working dog enthusiasts need to know about: Brooksvale Working Dogs.

This isn’t a high-volume pet puppy factory. Brooksvale is a select kennel, founded by longtime owners, breeders, and trainers who have been refining working dogs since registering their prefix in the mid-1980s. Their foundation began with German Shepherd Dogs, building decades of success. But in 2005, everything changed when they added the Malinois.

From limited litters (averaging just two litters per year), Brooksvale has produced an extraordinary number of elite dogs. Their philosophy is simple: breed versatile quality, not quantity. Every breeding stock member is health tested, and—crucially—they don’t just breed working dogs. They work them. Trial fields and real-world operations are their true assessment grounds.

The proof? Brooksvale dogs have served in Military, Police, and Prisons. They’ve worked as Detector Dogs, Security Patrol, and Search & Rescue. On the sport side, they’ve titled in IPO, IGP, PSA, Mondio, DWD, Agility, Flyball, Rally, Obedience, and earned Tracking/Obedience/Show Championships. They’ve even starred in film and television, while remaining loyal family companions.

Most recently, Brooksvale has reignited a passion for the Australian Cattle Dog—aiming to produce healthy, sound, stable dogs with plenty of drive for stock work, dog sports, and home life.

If you want a dog that’s proven where it counts—on the trial field and the front line—Brooksvale is the real deal.

Proudly Supporting the SA State IGP Championship 2026! 🐾

We at Von Nakon Working German Shepherds are thrilled to announce our sponsorship of the SA State IGP Championship 2026, hosted by the Adelaide SportDog Club!

As a small, family-run kennel dedicated to genetically robust working lines, we know what it takes to support the dogs and handlers competing at this elite level. We believe in solid ethics, sound movement, and the deep desire to work—values that align perfectly with the spirit of this championship.

About Us:

🧬 Premium Genetics: We source proven lines locally and internationally, importing and storing semen from quality studs to ensure sound diversity in our program.
🩺 Health First: Every animal in our breeding program undergoes health testing—including progeny—to ensure we are on the right path for our breeding goals.
🏆 Proven Results: We plan matings from females and males with proven working results in sport and real-world operational environments.
🐕 Lifetime Support: Our commitment to our clients doesn’t stop at placement—we provide support throughout the life of the dog.
What’s New?
We imported a promising stud male in April 2023, and we have just received our eagerly awaited breeding female from Europe. These additions continue our mission to breed quality, healthy Working German Shepherds that meet the breed standard—with dark eyes, rich pigment, firm ears, and an attentive, driven expression.

We focus on one carefully researched litter per year, striving for optimal results through knowledge, training, and dedication to our selected lines.

Join Us!
We can’t wait to see the incredible teams compete at the SA State IGP Championship 2026. Whether you’re a fellow breeder, handler, or enthusiast, let’s come together to celebrate the working German Shepherd dog.
