Lady Gia Lischnitz, a renowned figure in the world of canine behavior, literature, breeding and training, emerges from a rich heritage deeply rooted in the realm of dogs.

He brought these breeds from family relatives in Germany during the early 1950s, utilizing them in his capacities as an active hunter and forest manager.

Growing up amidst a tapestry of canines, Lady Gia Lischnitz inherited her grandfather's passion and dedication to the world of dogs. This familial influence, coupled with her own innate affinity for animals, laid the foundation for her illustrious career.
