Jim Hill has had a long and successful career in dog training dating back to 1975 when he first began working in the dog kennel, grooming and training biz. Jim served what amounts to an apprenticeship under many professionals and started his own boarding kennel in 1980. In these past decades Jim has had the pleasure of working in his profession with many talented people and is proud to have trained countless other trainers.
He began breeding dogs under the name von Wyndmoor in 1982. Jim titled his first German Shepherd in 1977, receiving a Companion Degree. By 1984 he had titled 5 different dogs in the AKC obedience trials including the most difficult in AKC obedience, Utility Degree.
It’s hard to imagine anyone matching Jim Hill’s experience in the Schutzhund training world. Having shown over 110 times, taken 9 different dogs to over 40 different national events and 4 dogs to 6 World Championships, Jim’s resume is indeed voluminous. But it doesn’t stop with his personal accomplishments.
Jim’s 40 years+ of experience has been a shared experience with countless student dogs who have gone all the way from the beginning training to world events. Most recently, Jim and Zwack v Holzinkel were named to represent Team USA in the 2013 WUSV World Championships. He has also coached three individual handlers to world championship events and had numerous dogs to conformation events including the UScA Sieger Show and to the Breed Survey including three in 2012.
This level of participation creates a network for continuing education and knowledge of the very finest dogs and breeding lines. It is impossible to truly breed a working dog without training the breed in a job it was designed to do. Jim Hill’s experience and hands-on skill sets over the years has provided him the rare knowledge of the breed standards and use dogs who can pass a “peer review.” This peer review is the Korung or Breed Survey. In the Breed Survey, all dogs must have their hips and elbows certified, an endurance test (called AD which is a 12 mile run in 2 hours), a conformation rating of good or better (scrutinization in over 25 areas of conformation and character with no disqualifications) and at least an IPO 1 or higher level of training.
Jim’s qualifications have been rewarded with his superior relationships with Police Service K9 Teams for many years and served as a consultant for both training and handling. Jim has been a past Regional Director for UScA and a Board Member at Large for this national German Shepherd Dog club. Jim continues to conduct seminars on the training of German Shepherd Dogs and other breeds.

With Jim Hill at the helm of von Wyndmoor, there could be no higher commitment and pride for the breeding, importing and training for the highest quality German Shepherd Dogs. His continued dedication to learning and living the GSD life is difficult and voluntary. The effort will be witnessed upon a visit to see our dogs and puppies! There has been a 110 year process to make the GSD the best all around working dog in the world. Many well intentioned breeders go their own direction but at von Wyndmoor, Hill and his staff choose to adhere to a well defined breed standard. Von Wyndmoor and Jim Hill work with the world’s best breeders and dogs. No breeder is an island!

We have an adult German Shepherd male, 4 years old who needs an adult home. A minor knee injury will keep Ryker von Wyndmoor out of intensive training however he is a good protection dog, fun and obedient. He will need little activity and make a great pet for someone who knows how to handle a good German Shepherd. Good hips and elbow with x-rays. Ryker is free to a good home. Please call to inquire.
