Satysfakcja yesterday...
We have spent a lot of time with our dogs. Of course, our first love is German Shepherds. We started our cynology adventure more than thirty years ago (how time flies!), at that time dog shows were still dominated by dogs from the GDR – heavy and bulky, so different from the dogs we see in the ring now. However beautiful, noble quadrupeds from West Germany charmed us much more than them. What’s more, all dogs were at the same time utilitarian animals with a great character. No wonder we dreamed to have just such a shepherd.
Our first German Shepherds came into our hands in the 70’s and came from the famous kennel ‘z Antuszy’. Little LESTER z Antuszy unfortunately passed away after a few months as one of the victims of paravovirosis, for which, in those days, there was no known cure. His successor was a pretty RUTA z Antuszy (Balbina) who turned out to be one of the best bitches of those years and received the title of Polish Champion. Ruta was also a valuable mother and her puppies from the kennel ‘ z Wiślanego Portu’ proved to be beautiful and good utilitarians. They gave us so much satisfaction that, over time, we decided to change our kennel name to ‘Satysfakcja’. However, for our ‘Satysfakcja’ to be complete, we decided to import valued shepherds from Germany, although in those days it was very difficult (not enough that getting a passport to travel abroad was a problem, in addition, because of the low value of the zloty the price of dogs was towering). German breeders also feared to sell their shepherds to a country ‘behind the Iron Curtain’. Our persistence and consistency helped to succeed. To Poland came bitches with precious pedigree: PALME von der Ernetranch (granddaughter of famous Uran von Wildsteiger Land), JANNE von Monte Ziego and the dog FEGER vom Sonnenhaus. They represented the modern type of shepherd that now you can see on every dog show, but then it was completely different from the population of Polish dogs – lymphatic giants. Feger died too early, but our hopes were fulfilled by Palme, she proved to be a valuable mother giving her offspring the features of her grandfather: elegant habit, good character and beautiful intense color. The next ‘giant’ in Satysfakcja was WICKO vom Felsenwehr, the first German Shepherd in Poland with the title of Interchampion, winner of Polish and Czech Republic dog shows. This showy and exuberant dog gave his offspring beauty and temperament. Another bitch who contributed to the development of our kennel was the wonderful PALME od Żeksa (Riva) with elite origins (daughter of the World Champion and a perfect female from ‘vom Wildesteiger Land’). Today, most of bitches in kennel are her daughters and granddaughters. Particularly valuable was the daughter of Wicko and Riva – PRIMA Satysfakcja (Polish Champion and Club Winner, IPO 1). We also brought females with valuable origin from Czech Republic and Slovakia (ELLIZ Til-Mar, KETTY Kad-Mil, JANET z Poluxu, RISCHA Abea). We set great store by the character and health of imported animals - we care that our dogs will be companions for many years.
During these long years we have been fascinated by other beautiful breeds such as Russian Terrier, American Spaniel or Cane Corso. We are pleased that we were among the first people who brought representatives of these breeds to Poland. We helped to their dissemination, but over the time we realized that our true passion are German Shepherds so we decided to give them all our time. However, it is worth to introduce to you our pets that contributed to build the image of ‘Satysfakcja’ as a winning kennel. American Cocker Spaniels charmed us with their beauty and nice nature – a female JANA Filifran, bought as a mascot, proved to be a great exhibition dog. In her career she won top honors including Best in Show wins. Encouraged by her successes, we imported a female from Denmark Dan am Canadian Cotten Ginny (Dzidzia) and male from USA TOP OF THE HEAP (Bruce). Unfortunately, American Cocker Spaniels look beautiful when you spend a lot of time on the daily care of their lush hair. We hadn’t enough time so Cocker Spaniels became only wonderful memories (We still have sympathy for this breed). In like manner presents a matter with Russian Terriers. We brought from Moscow a beautiful female ARISZA who gave us satisfaction earning Junior Winner, World Champion and Interchampion title. She contributed to the popularization of this wonderful breed in Poland. In the 90’s we imported the first Cane Corso female in Poland Babu Blu. Both Arisza and Babu proved to be valuable mothers. Now, a lot of famous dogs in these breeds have forefathers with the surname "Satysfakcja".
Satysfakcja today...
For a long time our dogs shared with us our life in a narrow Warsaw apartment, however now we have managed to provide our prodigy better conditions. We have lives for several years in Runow, a rural village about 23 kilometres from Warsaw, where the dogs have perfect conditions of development, far from the city's fumes and smoke. The spacious garden provides enough places to run. However, what is important we have never led "production of dogs" - every litter is carefully planed and brought up in corporation with veterinarians. On the one hand all our puppies are conscientiously socialized on the other; we exactly try to select the future owners of our dogs, becouse only then, we as well as they will again the satisfaction from our pupils.
SATYSFAKCJA kennel first of all deals with the German Shepherds to whom we have devoted many years of work, an we have cooperated with the fairest specialists in this domain from Germany, Czech Republic and Slovakia. Owners of the dogs with the kennel name "Satysfakcja" can always count on our assistance in the preparation of their favourites for exhibitions and test of work.
At the present the Satisfaction kennel is based on the own breed, we do not import feminine genders, although we are willingly sending our mothers for a cover by the most valuable dogs from Europe. We have breed puppies after so titled dogs as Hanno von Wienerau, Petz von Arlett, Gambo Kratmosens, Natz von Steigehoff, Yassko von der Roten Matter, Idol von der Jahnhöhe, Esko vom Dänischen Hof, Enzo von Buchhorn, Quartz dei Templari, Romy von Pallas Athene, Orbit von Tronje or Baru von Haus Yü.

When selecting breeding partners we also attach importance to health and the immunity system therefore we can be proud that our dogs to live a long and healthy life. At our home we have couple of wonderful old age pensioners Wicko and Riva (Palma od Żeksa) who although advanced in age are very healthy and continue to love life.
In the mountains of work there isn't enough time to think about the future, but we hope to celebrate, together with the owners of our dogs, the 50th anniversary of the breed. Our doughter Karolina now helps us with our work an she has inherited our love of dogs and other animals. Thanks to Karolina we hope that tradition of the Satysfakcja will be continue for many years.
In 2006 we bought for our daughter Karolina a little Papillon MISS LANZAROTE Perla Pomerania (Lanzi). She is really cheerful dog, that always makes us smile.
In 2009 for renovation and introduction of a new blood in Satysfakcja German Shepherd kennel, we imported from Germany promising young bitch XANA vom Kaditzer Land. She’s got really good bloodline. We hope for high class puppies.
