My kennel name, "Braeloch" ,came about because I am of Scottish descent.. In Scottish, Brae means mountain or hill, and Loch means lake. I live on Otisco Lake, a glacially created Finger lake in upstate New York, with lovely mountains surrounding it. It seemed the perfect name for my kennel of shepherds.
