'Sunbury' was first registered as a Kennel name in 1976. Long before then, Lynne Milne began her love affair with the German Shepherd. In fact it all started in 1955. This was the beginning of her long association with dogs and she has been actively showing, training and competing with her dogs ever since.

Lynne received her first German Shepherd, as a present from her Father in 1955. She named him 'Husky' and joined the Durban & District Kennel Club. In 1956, she joined, as a founder member, the Natal Alsatian Club, as it was then known. The club later corrected its name to Natal German Shepherd Dog Club and Lynne is currently President and an Honorary Life Member. She is also a Licenced Obedience Judge who's first appointment was in 1964. History of the German Shepherd Dog Name.

Lynne is internationally recognized as a breeder of German Shepherd Dogs, with some of her breeding reaching South America, the United States, Germany, Italy, Swaziland and all parts of South Africa. She has actively played a part in the introduction of breeding controls for registered German Shepherds in South Africa. These controls were introduced for the purpose of improving both the conformation and temperament of the breed. Working toward a GSD which is "Sound in mind and body", Lynne believes in combining the best of conformation and working lines. She has imported dogs from Germany who are specifically of sheep herding stock. All her dogs are trained and, when both parents of a litter have passed a Breed Survey, puppies with the coveted Pink Pedigree are available.

Lynne has dedicated her life to the German Shepherd Dog. She has studied their construction and behaviour for over forty years. She has actively developed and embraced new training methods, and continues to keep abreast of the latest ideas and innovations. In addition, she has used her dogs in demonstrations for Charity, as well as for PAT (Pet Assisted Therapy), in Homes for the aged and in Hospitals. If you would like to learn more about German Shepherd dogs, their breeding, training or showing, or find out about puppies that she may have available, please feel free to contact her by email Lynne Milne. Lynne would be more than willing to answer your questions and perhaps advise you.
